New Gander card out now.....

[18 inch Crappie]

Just got it in the mail, a new Gander Mountian MC. You get $75 in free stuff when you sign up. FYI

[Captain B.R.K]

They had a picture of the free $75 stuff in the latest Outdoor News. If that is what they are truely giving out, then I'm not really impressed.

When I first saw the sign in St.Cloud, I thought it read "Sign up now and receive $75 to use on next purchase"...or something like that.

I'd rather get the $75 in hand than a bunch of grab bag items they feel are worth $75. Nice try GM.

Ya the stuff they were giving away wasnt impressive and it all depends on how much you spend. I dont need any folding 6 pack coolers or whatever it was. Now $75 store credit to sign up would have hooked me.

[Captain B.R.K]

What do you mean Northlander?? A folding 6 pack cooler has to be on everyone's wish list

Who at corporate was in charge of this marketing scheme?!?

[hanson]

Folding 6 pack cooler? How many does a guy need?

I know I've got at least 1 from the last time I resubscribed to Outdoor Life magazine.

I don't know about you guys but I prefer hard sided protection for my 6 packs. When you are only counting on 6 of them babies, you don't want anything happening to 1 of them. There is just too much that can happen with soft sided protection- a puncture & leak, crushed can, etc.

[HARPOON-OR-BUST]

YA WHEN THEY TOOK AWAY THERE POINTS SYSTEM THAT THEY HAD GOING THEY LOST MY INTEREST. I WILL BE CLOSING THAT ONE!

[Northlander]

Hanson, Im with you brother. Hard side all the way. Nothing worse than a lost beverage and the others soaking in it. Of course thats also when the chips, candy bars, sandwiches and oatmeal creme pies all get soaked as well.

I have learned the value of a good zip lock now.

I use the soft sided coolers for bait now.

So why would anybody sign up for the GM credit card???....I had one, that I earned points towards gift certificates to Gander....Got a letter stating that they weren't doing GM Credit cards anymore....lost out on about $100 worth of points towards GM that I had accrued and they sent me a new generic card with no pretty picture of the outdoors....

What the heck?

Did someone say oatmeal creme pies????

I can't believe somebody has the nerve to talk about a sixer and oatmeal cream pies in the same post. How could you? And on a Friday at lunch time. You need to realize some of us are at work and now I have 2 major cravings. At least 1 of those cravings cannot be satisified here at work. I'm working on the other as I type.

[Little Joe]

My wife gives me grief about the "other woman in my life" - Little Debbie. I don't go up nort without her. Oatmeal Pie's, Nutty Bars, Swiss Roll's, etc.

[Northlander]

Man I didnt realize so many guys were into those Little Debbie oatmeal creme pies. You guys have to see Green n Gold eat those things in his icehouse. He has a system that heats them up so the cream is all warm and soft. All he needs is a heater and a icescoop. Totally hands free! Its crazy!

Well Im done with work in a hour and Ill have to stop and get a half dozen of the Debbies and a dozen smoothies. Yum Yum.

Nothing like that combo while fishing on Lake Superior.

Actually , the new card has the original points system. From what I was told early this year, it was MBNA that ended the relationship with Gander. Now Gander has started the system back up with a new company. Can't hardly blame Gander for the actions of a crappy CC company. Gifts aren't too great but at least it's something... And now I get the points system back. I'll take that over oatmeal creme pies!
