I received an email today, 15% off, no minimum, use code 7812 at checkout. I keep things in a wish list, items I use regularly, plus items I'm interested in. Most every item on that list went up in price by an average of 25%. I've tried, over the years to be somewhat a loyal customer, but I view this as a stab-in-the-back, about as sneaky as sneaky can get. I'm done here.
This is not surprising. Two factors in play here. The first is that prices to rise, especially during the summer months on goods and services only used during that time. And depending how long your items have been in your wish list, price rises are inevitable.
Secondly, Camping World/Good Sam has a business model that does not put their customer in a favorable light. They view their customer as a renewable resource (they can get new customers as they run the old ones off) who they can exploit for their own benefit. Their business model does not include building a loyal customer base by treating the customer well; they build a customer base by being the only source available for the products.
