Was just browsing the store and found this.
From the site:
FREE Summit Club Membership from Thu 30 April to Mon 8 June 2020
Add to your shopping cart now, then resume shopping. Summit Club prices applied instantly.
Membership discounted to FREE at checkout.
It's also worth noting that there is 40% off all Kathmandu branded items for members, so if you add the membership you will also get the 40% off!
Thanks to delirium211 for confirming you must make a purchase.
Thanks for confirming! Did you create an account to test, or just add it to cart?
Twas a new account
try and find the lowest item possible and do a click and collect
Don’t think click and collect is up and running yet, although stores are now open. Missed a voucher which expired yesterday…
Would anyone happen to know the typical expiry for the vouchers you get with the summit club?
My $20 welcome voucher had a 2 month expiry.
From memory, the $20 birthday voucher was 1 month.
Kathmandu logic = pay us $10 so we can market you in to buying overpriced crapmandu stuff or don't pay us $10 and you can buy at our bat sh!t crazy price.
Mountain Designs is better/affordable.
edit: just noticed they're doing the same Club tactic.
Seems like a lot of places are.
Went to a bike store yesterday (99bikes) to buy some chain lube. Was given a price - and then when I went to pay. "Oh, you have a membership with us, right?" And when I told them I didn't they told me it's $3 more expensive or I can sign up to the membership for $5.
That's a bullshit business model right there.
How was the lube?
Despite what people say about Kathmandu, I thought their Federate bomber from last year (?) was pretty stylish as far as down jackets go.
This year's is still somewhat stylish… but I would never pay full price for it.
"Worth" $10 indeed.
OFF TOPIC BRAIN FART FOLLOWS
The crap this shop peddles cheap and nasty crap at outrageous (ie >60-70% average) gross margins. That's why they regularly have those 25-50% off sales.
Generally, that level of retail margin is reserved for the likes of Accent Group who has stores like HYPE DC peddling sneakers that cost a few dollars to make. Bless Chinese, Indian and Mexican wage structures.
I sold my shares in KMD in early February at $2.38 a piece just as:
…and just over a month later, the same shares were being traded at $0.47 a piece. Today they just managed to crack the $1 mark.
Fairly sure it has been free for the past few years.
I thought it was always free
I made an order and tested it. It didn't matter if I have summit club membership or not it is still the same price. I pass.
Best just wait for free,especially no click and collect
Does any one know when you would receive a $20 birthday voucher. How many days before your birthday
My last one in February actually came 2 days after my birthday.
Tried it, requires items to purchase otherwise it will charge 10$ by itself.
