Rifle Scopes Bushnell VIP Program?

[Cobracutter]

Ok so in my scouring for Bushy Mil discounts I came across this. I know the prices are a year old but it shouldn't be too far off.....

So the question is, what the hell does one need to do to get this pricing?

I am pretty sure that is the purchase program for employees of retailers selling Bushnell products.

Holy crap, $980 for the 3.5-21 G2DMR.

X2. I would buy one of those in a heartbeat.

Is this program still going on and is it, in fact, for employees of dealers?

 

[scatsob]

I have an email into them for .mil pricing and have not heard back. I might just try calling next week.

I think VIP pricing is for other retailers to try the products out before they carry the product. I think.....

 

[nicko]

I no this is a few months old but I once got a VIP card from Tom fuller for shooting the bushnell brawl. That's one way to get these prices

I could tell you how to get that pricing, but you may not like what you'd have to do. . .?

If you're Mil or LE, they are on Promotive.

The Promotive price is a great deal.... But paying an additional $82 to buy through them almost ruins it ($25 shipping, $2 transaction fee and $54.57 MA sales tax).

 

[scatsob]

Do you have to pay sales tax on Promotive regardless of the state you are in? That would kind of stink.

yes I believe u do. I agree with Drum13 that it almost negates getting a killer deal....just curious tho if, regardless, is that still the best deal out there on a new one? I'm almost willing to bet it is.

 

[drum13]

For sure the Promotive price is the best deal I've come across. I'm not bitching about the discount - just saying that the Mil/LE discounts aren't always as phenomenal as some guys imagine.

I'm almost positive Mike at CS Tactical can put a ET35215G in your hands for $100 or less of Promotive's Grand Total price.

Yes and yes.

Just for fun, I added a scope that runs about $1,300 to my Promotive cart. The out the door cost was a $110 less than the VIP cost.

Did you go all the way to the final check-out page where they sneak in the sales tax?

No, but shipping and their fee were included. Mississippi has 7% sales tax, Still better than VIP before shipping. To be clear, I'll buy from a Hide source if the price is close.

You are aware that one the things you agreed to when you signed up was not to share the cost of items offered through Promotive with others, right? Further, nearly every manufacturer who offers discounts has the same requirement. Stuff like this is why these sorts of programs are often short lived.

Yes, that's why I did not quote a particular item, but thanks.

Understood, and to be honest, I wasn't pointing any fingers at you in particular...these threads typically have a way of drifting into areas that endanger discount programs. Yours simply happened to be the one I was reading when I decided to respond. Sorry if I offended.
