Eliminating an incentive

[Jim Sr]

Supporters of tighter restrictions on guns are deploying a new tactic: pressing companies such as Wyndham Worldwide Corp. (WYN) and Hertz Global Holdings Inc. (HTZ) to stop giving discounts to members of the National Rifle Association. Web-based organizations with ties to Moveon.org, an advocacy group that backed President Barack Obama’s re-election, want to shrink the NRA’s membership by eliminating an incentive to join -- cheaper hotel rooms and car rentals.

Assuming most members are like myself, I'm not sure they are going to meet their goal. I've never used any of those services. I'm a member solely for their part in preserving the 2nd amendment.

They just don't understand. They can have all that crap, I think I get better discounts with AAA anyway.

The discounts have nothing to do with why I'm a member.

 

[mr phil]

No really . We should try to make them think that would matter.

 

[kohburn]

i've never used my NRA membership for a discount on anything but entry to a gun show.

 

[HICAPMAG]

Yea, that's it, that's the ticket. I joined the NRA because of the discounts. Didn't everybody??

+1, I don't even carry my NRA card with me. I get all the same discounts through my AAA through which I book everything and it gives me discounts in many other places like aqariums, zoos etc for the kids ... which NRA does not anyway.

You mean there is a reason to join NRA BESIDES the discounts?

I have like 10 of them. Or had... when a white sweat stain appears on one I just throw it away and grab another out of the closet lol.

I don't know if I'll upgrade to being a life member if I'm not going to get car rental and motel discounts... what is the world coming to?

Si vis pacem para bellum

follow me @DiscipleofJMB

 

[HKB]

Boy do I feel dumb, I did not realize you could get discounts for being a NRA member.

 

[john_bud]

Just as long as they don't take away my block of government cheese or my Obama phone for being an NRA member...

 

[WeaponsCollector]

Just more proof that the gunphobes are big time losers.

 

[Shinny]

It's bullying and aren't they trying to stop bullying??

 

[44man]

well i think NRA members should boycott companies that dont or wont give a discount. i try and deal with friends of the NRA when i can. there are plenty of us. pinch them where it hurts.
