No MARS Membership Discount at Fish Planet

Hey All

Just a reminder, MARS doesn't have a discount agreement with Fish Planet.

Hey Brain,

It might be more useful to list the stores that DOES offer MARS discount.

Hey Minh

The agreements are very old and have been verbally revised many times. I've asked Mandy to get something in writing from each of the LFSs that wants to offer a discount so we can post their policy on our website.

Thanks Brian. I generally don't ask for the MARS discount unless I know the vendor has honored it in the past. Right now - that would be O St and Yourreef. But I don't know if those two places will give MARS discount anymore.

Shiela and BOD - thanks for all the hard work. It's great to have this summary.

For the rest of us (me included): Remember, if the store can't offer you a discount on a specific item (even if it's not excluded above), don't be rude to them. Either buy or don't buy it, but no need to be rude to them.

Mandy/Sheila

I've published the discounts listed above on the MARS website. To to...

Yes, please let your money do the talking. Either buy or take your business elsewhere, no need to be rude.

Please do let the board know if an LFS isn't honoring their published discount agreement.

Personally, I think it is better to have no agreement than an inconsistently enforced one. That just causes too much friction. I think it would be better to publish that MARS doesn't have an agreement with the LFS. Of course, the board will have to vote on any formal action like that.

Since when did "O" street Aquarium move to Roseville?
In the last List is show O street at Your Reefs Location.
I hope the list was corrected before posting on MARs web site.

O street did not move to Roseville, and yes, I corrected my list. Not sure about the MARS site.

"LUCKY GOLD FISH

903 Commercial St#D
San Jose, CA.95112"

hmmm.. i wonder why people always list Lucky Goldfish from San Jose.

the Lucky Goldfish in Oakland is much better.
on broadway and 22nd i think.

Then again i haven't been to the lucky goldfish in san jose, so i can't say much about it, other than they are flamed on craigslist and seem kind of shady from the feedback that is sometimes posted.
