Free SPOT!!!!

SnowXTC · Mar 24, 2009

Between March 19 and March 27, 2009 SPOT is offering a FREE SPOT with the purchase of basic service and tracking ($149.98). You will save at least $149.

Go to http://www.findmespot.com/robby/ to find out more information.

If you have been thinking about it, now is definitely the time to do it. It is not just for snowmobiling either.

Save your life or the life of a friend. The response time on this is incredible. I spoke with a rescuer this weekend about it. They were already mobilized and heading out to the scene when a rider came in to tell them about the avalanche. The rider only had about 8 miles to ride to town on groomed trail. However, because the SPOT 911 had been activated, calls had already been made and rescuers were already mobilized. True a cell phone call to 911 would be quicker, but there is no cell service at all in this area.

I am in no way affiliated with SPOT, other than owning a SPOT. I just believe this highly in this product and felt that this was an excellent deal.

Thanks for the heads up. Just signed up for one

Anyone riding the back country should own one in my opinion. I've been in situation where we need one and didn't have one, now I own one and hope I never need the 911 function. My family loves that daily check in feature! Tracking feature is also very cool if you don't have a gps.

I will also take it hunting with me going forward as well.

Thanks for the link!

I have been considering one for some time. Well with this deal, I just ordered one!

Unfortunatly this offer is only for US customers only. For us Canadians it is about 100.00 more, I guess BRP isn't the only ones ripping us off.

Thanks for answering that question for me. I kind of figured that...

I used to sell them but sent the entire lot back..I think they are a Great Idea
and a must have for anyone in the backcountry.. But for all the suckers like me that bought them to offer to customers.. They are screwed..
Spot should have from the beginning offered the unit for free..Or very inexpensive. they make their $ from the subscription.. they have just s**t on all their dealers..

SnowXTC · Mar 24, 2009

I bought from a dealer and got a $50 rebate that I am still waiting for from SPOT. This is a very limited time offer and very few know about it unless you have signed up for their newsletter. I just feel that it is that important to have to not let my fellow 4M members know about this deal.

So we get some more out there and then others are going to want them and have to get them from a dealer. I really don't think that this limited time offer is going to hurt dealers that much. But I do understand your position.

Just ordered mine.

You have to enter your credit card before you get the promo code applied.
It does apply the $163 discount after you submit it.
Git r done.

Sounds the same as selling Satellite radios. I bought a decent sized lot of Sirius Starmates, which was at a good price, but they started blowing them out below dealer cost not too long later. I managed to move them all, but gave a good number of them away for charitable donations to various groups.

guys the deal is only good for like 10 days. You dealers will be able to sell them in just a few more days.

True.. but you can look just about anywhere, anytime and find coupons,give aways etc..
should be able to find one for $50.00 or so.. min dealer price was 108
Im certainly not alone thinking I got the short end of the stick from spot.
You guys should get them now for nothing.. I paid 108.00

Good to Go · Mar 24, 2009

Yea, if I was a dealer, it'd pizz me off.

I'm not, and it's a good deal. Ordered. \

Thanks XTC for the heads up..!!!

I got a promo code download to be applied when I activate. Is that correct? My card was charged the full amount.

Yeah and I paid the full $150. I did get $25 off the tracking service, but the dealer still got the full amount for the unit.

After my experience with spot, I think a sat phone is a way better investment, when time is of the essence and you need life flight, spot will only notify search and rescue crews and then when they get to you they will call in life flight. If we would have not gone out to call 911 and got life flight coming, I know we would have spent the night on the mtn with my buddy that had a broken back.

You were supposed to put in the promo code when you purchesed it! then it gives you the discounted price

benamen · Mar 25, 2009

For the Canadians interested in the SPOT, there is supposed to be a promotion of some type coming to the Canadian site in the very near future. Canadians can order the unit at the current promo price as long as they have it shipped to a U.S. address first. They don't care where it will be activated from.
