Menards Sale - 11% MIR- But Read the Fine Print

Tough crowd.

Their stuff is already low priced for what you get.

There is a thread discussing this several months back.

The basic jist is that, sure, it sucks that you won't be able to use the rebate, but in the end it is sort of icing on the cake for folks that can use it.  Menards is not a train store, and I would be surprised to learn that the entirety of all train products the have ever sold even make the smallest blip on the radar from a profitability stand point.  

Yes, read the fine print, and be aware if you will, or will not, be able to make use of this, or any other promotion offered by any company you purchase from, but don't hold it against a really nice business that is offering an across the board deal to all of it's customers just because you can't make use of the deal.  

As for Menards it's self, I find myself rarely shopping there for my hardware needs despite it being a better store with competing, or better, prices than the other large hardware stores.   The reason; I have a competing big box store less than half a mile from my house, most of the time it isn't worth a 10 mile drive to Menards though I will make the trip for large purchases  from time to time.  

I wounder why M is using this old system when most stores mow are using some sort of electronic point system one could use even on the internet.

But the prices are such I'm not really worried about it here in Houston.

Sorry you can't take advantage of the deal, I have and will be picking up a few more items.

The previous discussion noted that you can simply trade the discounts to someone that lives close to a store, and the Menard's rep seemed fine with that idea.
