These companies gave discounts or offered credit cards to NRA members. The alleged boycott is the equivalent of losing the Sunday newspaper coupons and the week’s junk mail.
In this world of instant rebates and online coupons, I am sure that we will survive “the loss.”
Sounds like a nice list of companies not to do business with.
Yep,and I’m sure the ill will generated by these announcements will show up in the bottom line. I wonder what the shareholders will think about that?
Well, I will now boycott them. Stupid corporate decisions require this response.
I’m reminded of the vegans that protested the beef tallow in McDonald’s fries.
McD’s got rid of the beef tallow but the Vegans didn’t start buying McD’s.
McD’s regulars hated the new fries and stopped buying them.
It’s easy to respond to loud assholes on social media. The effect is always felt down the road when the money comes up short.
I have never really understood why companies bow down to groups who never have and never will buy their products. It’s ridiculous.
Why did people fall into the sub prime mortgage and house flipping bubble? Because it is easy to link in terms of short term positives. It’s hard to think about long term negatives.
I have that FNB Omaha credit card. Looks like I won’t anymore.
As soon as I finish paying off my FNB Omaha card, it’s gone.
What??? They haven’t gone after the vineyards that supply the NRA Wine Club? I fully expect those grapevines to be in flames by next week. 😛
More and more companies are announcing they’re parting ways with the NRA. It’s only just begun.
I just sent Best Western a polite e-mail that I wouldn’t be doing business with them anymore.
Add SIMPLISAFE to the list,they dropped the nra member discount.
I emailed them. The other ones I already dont do business with them
Since there had to be contracts between the NRA and these companies, I wonder if there were penalties for early cancellation.
Because that would be wonderful, if they ended up kicking millions into the NRA as a result of being sheep.

There’s also Dollar/Thrifty if you still want a traditional rental car. And don’t forget to check for local rental options.
I see lifelock is on the list of panicked corporate stooges?
I wonder how long before they turn on Hannity and Limbaugh too?
These people running these companies really are sheep being herded to the cliffs aren’t they?
