Gander Mountain closing ALL stores discussion

[jgressley2003]

Glad I used my gift card after the first rumblings of bankruptcy went public.

I did also but earned more since that time.

Gift cards are supposed to be honored until 5/18. The Castleton store has a sign that says reward certificates will not be accepted.

I stopped in Tuesday. 10%-20% on most items still. Will have to find something to burn my $35 gift card on early next week. Hopefully they have better markdowns by then.

I used up my $20 gift card this week on some slightly overpriced shotgun shells.

I'm hoping to get a *fair* price on some hiking shoes...I need some and I don't want to pay REI prices for something that wont get used all that often.

All stores are not closing. E.g. Lafayette showroom, er, store, shall remain open.

Still glad that I used my gift card before this past winter.

Stopped in today at the Evansville location. A pathetic 5% off firearms. Still overpriced! Unless I get an email that says 15% off or more, I'm going to stop wasting my gas and just buy the gun I want at Rural King and reward the business that was cheap to start with. Not going to miss you, Gander!

A friend of mine just sent me this

I was at the one in Castleton earlier in the week. They had placards in the firearms area stating that there would be NO discounts on guns or ammo due to some Indiana law. I should have taken a picture, but at that point I was pretty disgusted. The only reason I had gone was to use a $10 reward coupon - which they would not honor.

I was at the Avon Store, only because I had other business in the area no deals at GM, friend had a Rewards Bucks and Avon GM honored it.

Your friend was lucky.... I had $100 in Gander Bucks and neither the Castleton or Greenwood stores would honor them. Additionally they have signs up that the Gander Mountain credit cards are no longer accepted.

I totally agree on their pricing... I still see stuff ABOVE MSRP. If these guys would just price things like a normal gun store does they wouldnt have gone bankrupt, but instead they want to rip folks off.

Interesting. I received a letter from whatever financial firm operates the Gander Mountain credit card, and they were imploring me to keep using it. Since I only ever used it at Gander, I think I will just cancel it.

For those of you with Gander Mountain rewards certificates (from using their credit card), you can still use those at Overton's, which is the boating store that Gander Mountain owned and those are located in North Carolina. However, if you go to overtons.com you can apply those at the checkout plus they provide free shipping for orders over $25 and have a promo code for 15% off your order (restrictions apply). That's how I used my rewards certificates. I went to Gander Mountain in Castleton last week to use mine up and was told that Gander Mountain was no longer accepting them. By refusing to honor their rewards certificates, Gander Mountain has now ticked off the loyal customers it had. Looks like I will be using my Cabela's credit card now to earn rewards (until Bass Pro stops that program). Hope this helps some of you who are stuck with Gander Mountain rewards certificates.

I believe Gander had a store charge card and a MasterCard. The MasterCard you can still use anywhere, I'm getting ready to cancel mine once my Cabelas card shows up.

I just got off the phone with a GM customer service person, she told me the liquidating stores were told to accept the rewards certificates. Guess I will head down and see what the store tells me.

Just an update, I was able to use my rewards certificates here in Fort Wayne. Hope this helps someone!

Both of them?

Just got an email from Flounder Mountain. They claim that rewards certificates will now be honored at ALL store locations and apologize for any "inconvenience." Also, they ask that I continue to use their credit card. Not sure if I will bother. Definitely cancelling the card.
