HAM POINTS: How are you going to use yours?

[Hoppalong Doc]

Over the weekend I used 1000 of my HAM points to make a purhase at Airguns of Arizona. I spoke to their sales associate and he directed me as to using my HAM points. With the help of Mr. Archer here at HAM, I was able to easily navigate through the purchase, getting my 10% discount from my HAM points. I still have a little over a thousand points for my next purchase. My question is, why aren't some of you other guys taking advantage of this great HAM benefit? I see that some of you have 8 to 9 thousand points built up, are you not making airgun purchases? I was so excited to grab onto this great FREE benefit. Orv.

Isn't that a bummer. Rules step on us every way they can. Are you able to use your points for non--gun items, such as the chronograph I just ordered? How about Hawke scopes. Use your points with them and you'll recieve a 20% discount. Keep th

Orv, thanks, I am very glad that the HAM Airgun Points scheme worked well for you and look forward to reading about your purchase

I would only use something like the point system to save money on big purchases and I haven't made any, and if I did, I would still look for the lowest price in the end. I just went to Optics Planet (unlike many who WILL chime in, I have always had good luck with) and priced out a Hawke Frontier 5x25 that they have on sale for $1,062. With a twenty percent discount applied, from Hawke's online store it still came out being about $100 more. If I am looking to save some money and get a deal, than I am going to do exactly that. If it works out I would use it, and vice-versa. If AoA allowed it for used gun purchases, now that would be nice.

Thats a possibility for sure, but shipping/tarrifs would murder the savings i can only imagine.

Loyalty and reward programs can change or be revoked at any moment. I use my HAM points every chance I get (you still have to do the math and make sure it works out for you) Regardless of a big purchase or small. My philosophy is to use it or lose it.

Thus far I have used my discounts on purchases of rifles.

I used my available 1000 pts. to purchase an Athlon chronograph from Airguns of Arizona. All in all, it was a very pleasant experience. My ignorance with computers was helped by HAM 's very own Mr. Archer's kindness in walking me through the HAM Points program.
For years I've used a ProChronoDelux for a chronogroph. I always felt it awkward and balky to use. Last Fall some old fool put a pellet right through the led readout. Chrono died. . . Oh well. After some careful research, I settled on the Athlon Chronograph. So far, I find it faltless to use. I'd like to get into tuning my rifles as they may need. As Spring nears, a HW50s is in my sight and my next 1000 HAM points will get used. I really do wonder why more of us don't take advantage of this HAM program. I see that some of you have 10,000 points, or more. We can support this fine HAM community we have here and its advertisors by simply using our points. Orv.

Well, I'm using my next batch on a new Weihrauch HW30N.

I just purchased my 75th Anniversary HW50S from AofA and am using my 1000 HAM Points to get my 10% discount. Win, win for all. Orv.

I've had good luck with optics planet. The last Hawke I bought was from there, best deal that I could find.
