basspro shop website heads up

not sure where to put this....just an fyi...

basspro just upgraded their website and if you had a "gear wish list" going (like me) then here's the bad news - all gear wish lists were wiped out. you have to create new wish list all over again. this was helpful for me for items i repeat - saved time from starting new searches, etc.

here's a tip - access your past orders for specific items, copy into search, then create/add to new wish list.

The new website will also NOT allow you to use your VIP card. I just placed an order less than an hour ago and had to call the order in so I could get my 20% VIP discount. I did chat online and asked how to use the card and they told me I have to call the order in.

frogman - good to know...

clearly this website transition was not properly thought through and not thoroughly tested from the consumer point of view. i suggest any of you that use basspro for your stuff that you check out the site and try to "beat it up" (what we used to call hard testing) and call in any complaints to them (and share here) - it's the only way this stuff gets fixed. for example, if you have any credit left on a gift card or you may want to double check your account info (like credit card numbers, address, logins, passwords) - anything that they would have had to carry over from the old website/data base. better to check now instead of when you actually need to use it. just sayin'...
