Good morning,
I had ordered twice within a week. (9/9 and 9/12) I had thought I signed up for the Rewards program on the first order, but I guess I didn't do it correctly. (I'm almost 70 and not always good on computers.)
When I placed my 2nd order on 9/12, I noticed no reward points from my first order.
I just tried Live Chatting with someone with the initials MH, and was told was told she could NOT add the points because I wasn't signed up 3 days earlier when I placed my first order.
As having been retired from almost 50 years of Executive Sales Management, I know it CAN be done - but MH chose NOT to, which I don't understand if she is with Customer "Service"!
I asked her if adding points that may be worth less than $5.00 on my next $400.00 order is worth possibly losing a customer, and she basically told me again, that if I don't like it I CAN GO BACK TO MY OLD SUPPLIERS! (Her tone was very rude, to boot!)
IF ONE OF MY EMPLOYEES EVER SAID THAT TO A CUSTOMER, THEY WOULD HAVE BEEN FIRED ON THE SPOT!
I am writing to see if MidwayUSA really stands behind this policy - not adding a reward points worth less than 1.25% (Less than $5 on my next $400 order) of my order, and possibly losing a customer. These two orders weren't a year apart - they were three days apart.
I admit I made a mistake thinking I had signed up for the reward points on the first order. But, really? A Live Chat response pretty much saying "Screw you - I don't care if you buy from us or someone else! Go back to your old suppliers if you want"
WOW!!!!
As someone who lived, ate and breathed for my employees getting customers, adding accounts, keeping them happy, getting referrals, etc for almost 5 very successful decades, I just can't understand this mentality or business model.
Why would you want to lose a customer because if you bent the rules and did the right thing, the customer would only save about $3 on his next $400 order? That's just bad business.
Please confirm that your policy has NO ROOM for exceptions and you stand by her, or if someone there understands business more than MH.
9/12/25 Order #: 66748983
9/9/25 Order #: 66712114
If you stand by her, I will understand your very strict and unbending rules. I just don't get that lack of help form a company - any company!
Thank you.
