Would I be pissed? yes, I would!ATTN CRA members
Would you be mad if you found out that these "platinum" stores were selling the samplers to non-members? What if they were not only selling them to non-members, but they were pre-selling them. Now when you, a paying member, goes to purchase your sampler the day they get there, and there are non left. What say you....
you should tell the owner to politely stop or you'll have to send an email to the CRA. what he should be doing in having sign up for CRA membership in order to pre-order the sampler.Well I know of one store doing this, I am sure there are plenty more....
Maybe there selling it as by the cigar sampler and get a free membership to CRA?
If CRA has to bribe people with cigars then maybe I should of waited and gotten my membership this way.They are, which makes the sampler more appealing to a non-member. Not the way I understand it was supposed to take place..
Well while I might not be happy about it, the sampler is designed as an incentive to get more people to join the cause one way or the other, right?
Just seemed to me that you would get more members the other way, I buy one give someone the membership, they buy one give someone the membership etc. etc.Just got off the phone with with Brian over at CRA. Yes, the sampler can be purchased by non members.
Its a tough thing for CRA. Try to recruit new members and also make there old members happy.
CRA is in its infancy and they are working on programs that you can actually use your Membership Card for discounts and other promotions.
So if you can get your hand on a sampler then grab it. Its for a good cause.
Agreed.Just seemed to me that you would get more members the other way, I buy one give someone the membership, they buy one give someone the membership etc. etc.
In his reply he said the same, where I said that I didn't receive anything for signing up either. That is not really the point for me, the point is how it was a members only thing, their site still says that.i agree with you guys. I first thought it was bullshit and I was pissed. I sent an email to CRA. 10 minutes later Brian called me on the phone to discuss my complaint.
He agreed with me on how the deal does nothing for CRA member and only rewards Non CRA members.
But he did say that these people do not get the 2 cigars that we received with our membership.
