Connect Regrets

silverfox said:
These types of programs are designed to keep the horses coming back to drink from the trough continuously. My detailing thirst was quenched years ago. I liken this to the wife who comes home bragging about how much money she saved buying things we can live without that were on sale. Most guys here make a shopaholic wife look like a miser. Oh but I need this stuff .... Yeah.

Except that spending money on things you don`t need is considered a hobby, and trying new things out is just part of it. And if you`re responsible in your spending and not putting a financial burden on yourself, while having a good time doing what makes you happy, who really cares? That`s how every hobby is, and compared to modifying cars/bikes, it`s also a lot cheaper. You can also make money off of the products you buy should someone choose to do so.
Do you not have a hobby that you spend money on?
 
I have no regrets not buying the membership. I did about a month ago when I was debating on a new polisher and thinking about the double points, but now I think it was a good thing I didn`t. I didn`t buy a bunch of chemicals I don`t currently need and I am starting to finally use up a bunch of product that I have been holding on to.
 
like Frank says "regrets, I`ve had a few. But then again, so few to mention" (like I should have bought X when it was on sale, lol)- actually the only regret I have about connect is that I didn`t wait until they offered the free DP coating or Souveran wax- bc all I got were some towels (o well they are useful..or were at least)

I just counted 32 orders including my initial connect purchase since October. and two of them don`t even show up for some reason (the nano order and another placed over the phone)

only a handful of them were even over 100..thats a lot of money saved on shipping

paid for itself there alone plus with the 10% off extra- makes it HARD TO SAY NO , haha

I have purchased a lot of things I have no real use for, but they were dirt cheap so why not?

i think that was the point of Connect. keep members coming back repeatedly and not wander off to another company.

same with Amazon Prime, i keep buying stupid things that just sit around because theyre on "lightning deals"

well this dummy fell for it

I would find myself taking odd detail jobs I normally would pass on just because I had a full cart and wanted to purchase something else.

I could not buy anything else for over a year and be perfectly fine, but we all know that is not going to happen, :)

what will be funny is all the large orders we place the week before our connect goes out. lol
