Bamboozled!

When in a Boaters World store I let the sales person talk me into joining their Captains Club. It is similar to West Marine's West Advantage program where you get a percentage back as a gift certificate for spending a predetermined amount of money on your boat that you should be spending on a loved one or some other necessity. Anyway Boaters World charges an annual fee for this but I figured since it was minimal and they do not charge for ground shipping or sales tax on their web site it was a good deal. Buyer beware! This Captain's Club Card can not be used for Internet or phone orders and can only be used in the stores where they usually do not have what we need and that is why we order it online aside from the obvious savings of the sales tax.
