I'm shocked with this website and company. My sister and I both received $25 gift cards for this site two years ago and were able to find not one desirable, affordable item on the website. Clearly, the company doesn't actually cater to real travelers (only snowbirds willing to pay exorbitant prices for mediocre products). Today, I finally thought I might have found a half decent item on the website (due to the stated 25% discount), but then found out they have an additional $7.99 in shipping costs and that the discount didn't apply to basically any of their half-decent brands. Our grandparents got us these wretched gift cards, and we're convinced they got scammed. They obviously didn't know that people like us, who travel the world long term, purchase real travel gear such as one would take backpacking (e.g. High-quality outdoor backpacks, clothing, and gear). They don't carry anything decent or remotely affordable. Having a $25 gift card might maybe bring prices down to normal price at another store, and then it's still exorbitant once you consider shipping. No sleeping bag liners, no quality headlamps, no real travel gear. It's like looking at sky mag!
