A long time back I was hitting the trap range pretty regular with my plain-Jane field grade Rem 870. I was standing next to a guy with a really nice Browning auto. I was hitting 22 or so out of 25 (pretty good for me, not much of a shotgunner), him not so much. At one point he comments ironicall

It appears you need to be a member to buy gift cards, which is why you don't need to be a member to use them. I may have to have my out of state niece send me a gift card if it's possible to get service products with just a gift card. Anyway, I'm browsing optiBOARD forums for the first time in

Re: [MBZ] ***SPAM*** RE: Top Tier Diesel

So why not join up? It’s only $55/year. Between the money you’ll save on your glasses and gas, if you have one close enough to use for gasoline, you’ll come out ahead. I use their branded VISA card to buy everything there, especially gas, since I get 4% back on all my gas purchases. And of cour

Re: [MBZ] ***SPAM*** RE: Top Tier Diesel

I'll second that, customer service is very important at Costco. They are extra friendly to non-members to draw you in. -- Max Dillon Charleston SC On September 6, 2019 8:03:50 PM EDT, Greg Fiorentino via Mercedes wrote: >Give them a call. IME their customer service is highly responsive. > >Gr

Re: [MBZ] ***SPAM*** RE: Top Tier Diesel

Dan has it, we bought the higher cost executive membership, I think $110, which also gives points for all your purchase. If you exceed 110 points in a year, next membership is paid for. We also use their cash-back Visa card, the cash back balance is up to $664 or so, in less than a year. My

Re: [MBZ] ***SPAM*** RE: Top Tier Diesel

They're far enough away that I'd just get glasses there and maybe tires if I needed some. I hate driving to East Lansing from here, and Costo is inconveniently located compared to most of E Lansing. $55/yr becomes $55/visit. Mitch. > On September 6, 2019 at 8:44 PM Dan Penoff via Mercedes >

We had same issue, previously there was only one Costco about forty minutes away, too far and we only went a couple times a year. -- Max Dillon Charleston SC On September 6, 2019 9:29:16 PM EDT, Mitch Haley via Mercedes wrote: >They're far enough away that I'd just get glasses there and maybe

Re: [MBZ] ***SPAM*** RE: Top Tier Diesel

That’s why I went to the Costco-issues VISA. You get credit for your gas purchases plus 4% back on them up to $7k worth. I have three cars that regularly gas up at Costco, so I make my money back and more. I would add that their previous branded card did not offer a spiff on gasoline purchases.

Re: [MBZ] ***SPAM*** RE: Top Tier Diesel

Sounds like Dead sam syndrome.   Drive miles and miles to save 40¢, burning dollars of gasoline to "save" 40¢. A woman who worked at the hardware store used to walk 1/2 block to the locally owned drug store to buy a pack of gum.   Until wally came to town.  Then she drove 6-7 miles to "save" 

Re: [MBZ] ***SPAM*** RE: Top Tier Diesel

I's have to drive probably 500 miles round trip.  maybe more...    And NO, I won't go to dead sams either.  I do darken the doors at wally once in a while to get oil or glasses, but that is about it.   From here, a trip to wally is 60 miles.    I have no idea where the nearest dead sam is.  at

Re: [MBZ] ***SPAM*** RE: Top Tier Diesel

Not in my case. Having to buy premium gas for my cars I save anywhere from $0.20-$.30/gallon over the ripoff gas stations around here, and the Costco is on our commute, so none of us even go out of our way to stop there. In fact, it’s even more convenient than the closest WaWa or other gas retai
