Backcountry Coupon!!!!!!!

Kcedit · August 21st, 2006, 11:41 PM

I thought backcountry does not like promoting coupons. I received an email before for using the word "discount" (or something like that). I am seeing Google is now offering $10 off $30 coupon for backcoutry. Was there change in the company policy? If not, this seems to be double standard.

Yeah, I got emails from them before for using the terms "discounts" too, but I just did a saerch on google and see them on a bunch of coupon sites. So, I guess you can use them however you want now.

Shush! You were not suppose to find that!

Hi-

Ok, you guys are right. We do not allow the promotion of Backcountry.com coupons. This protects the brand identity of Backcountry.com: high end gear for hard core outdoor enthusiasts. (As you know, BackcountryOutlet is our outlet/deal site.)

The Google Checkout offer is a Google supported promotion aimed at building awareness and adoption of Google Checkout. This is a limited time offer which is an exception to our normal policy on coupons.

The good news: You can promote this coupon and enjoy the benefits of increased conversion, higher sales, and more commissions.

Please note: If you are going to promote this offer, please communicate that the offer is only valid if a customer checks out through Google Checkout. In addition TNF, Oakley, and Western Mountaineering brands are excluded from this offer.

We should have creative and terms & conditions for affiliates in the next few days. I will post again when the creative is available.

If you have any questions feel free to contact me. My apologies if this exception to our coupon policy is confusing.

As always thanks for your support of Backcountry.com

"The good news: You can promote this coupon and enjoy the benefits of increased conversion, higher sales, and more commissions."

That's what the couponers have been saying all these years

How about some coupons just for affiliates.
