To All,

I wanted to give everyone a heads-up that we will be pulling the USA site down tomorrow evening for approximately three hours beginning at 7:00 PM CST in order to complete the final coding that will allow us to relaunch the site.  We have been working on this for some time and I hope that all of you will like the direction we are headed in.  We tried to make the site a little more dynamic but we also tried to keep the navigation pretty clean.  We have also added some new features like video to the site and some fun giveaways as well so make sure you check it out. 

What I would really appreciate is some honest feedback about the things you like AND dislike about the site once you have visited so we can try to improve it.  We’re in this for the long haul and the more we hear from you the better we can make this entire club.  We’ve got a little ways to go but I believe the relaunch of this site is a big step in the right direction.

I want to thank you in advance for your patience on this and we look forward to hearing what you think.

Folks,

We made some of the necessary coding changes this evening and I don’t believe there was any disruption to the existing site.  Now that this is completed, we will be making the move to the new look and feel later today - August 19th.  As we are making the transition from old site to the new, there will most likely be some disruption but we ask you to please bear with us and we should have this completed and operational before the whistle blows tomorrow afternoon.

Thanks,

Mike

Take another look brother!  This thing took a little longer than we wanted but I believe we finally wrestled this sucker to the ground and got it going.  Fingers crossed!

As big as you are, she might need to send two bottles!

earidgeway,

Thanks a bunch for the feedback.  We’ve been working hard on this and there is still more to do but we are getting there and I think folks are going to like this look and functionality much better.

I still want to get more feedback from you folks so please don’t be shy about telling us what you think.  Good, bad or otherwise…we want to hear from you.

Thanks,

Mike

BigBird,

We’ve seen that problem before and our new guy thinks he might know what is causing it.  It has something to do with the versions of the platform our website operates from.  We have this on our “to do” list and will try to get it addressed quickly.

Keep ‘em coming folks.

Great job on the Website!  I think this will be very easy for all members to navigate and utilize.  Thanks Mike and support staff for putting this together!!  We should think about doing a Nationwide Buck Contests…any takers???

Smyles,

Sorry you are running into problems with this.  If you look at the homepage, just below the “You Belong” at the top of the page, you will see a member login area.  When you signed up you should have received your new member packet in the mail that contained all of your information including your id and password.  Enter this information in the designated areas and the system will automatically load you in so you can view our deals and discounts. 

If you continue to have issues, please call our office at 877-USA-2211 and ask for Heather and she can reassign your information and get you set up.

Hope this helps.

Mike

PS - you wouldn’t happen to be from KY would ya
