    Finally a list I'm on that isn't bad ))

    Anyone know what the shipped pricing is on these rewards. The website has everything but. PM'ing me is fine if that's a no-no here.

    Quoted from TheLaw:

    Doesn't the discunt come off the MSRP or something weird like that? I thought I worked it out once and it would have cost me more than a distro? Can't remember though

    Yes, it's a pretty decent discount off of MSRP. However, for some, the distributor price ended up significantly less than the rewards. Josh and I had a nice, long discussion about this, and I realize he's not the price setter and I have nothing but awesome things to say about the Sharpes and what they've done for this sport/hobby/obsession. I just wish that Stern would realize how much time, practice and $$ it takes to reach these skill levels. I understand that the rewards program is a marketing tactic, and I also realize they don't want to undercut the distributors through lower direct sales. However, to me a "reward" is truly being able to receive the best price out there regardless of 'who you know'.

    I a perfectly viable solution would be a simple online system that accounts for your award status and claim status (so you can't double dip or use someone else's identity). You would go THROUGH a distributor, and the distributor would receive a reimbursement from Stern for the price difference.

    A second viable option would involve sending qualified rewards members a one-time use discount card valid for a year, and to be used on any Stern machine or official Stern product (mods, toppers, etc.), either direct or off a distributor quote. Again, like any coupon, a distributor would be reimbursed for any purchases involving this card.
