abundantjerry thanks for the post. That is the link i recently purchased off of so i think i am good to go. Although it sounds like we will have to buy into the spectacular opportunity when it is finally revealed....

I'm a new Diamond member and am still waiting for FS to process my membership. As a result, I may not receive the "spectacular news" that Piazza said he'd release today. I'm not convinced it will be as sensational as they're making it out to be, but I am curious. Will someone please post the news to this thread once it comes out?

I have heard a few folks on here thinking they would get all the extras in the emails just for being a lifetime member with TBD memberships remaining. This is not going to be the case. It will cost $$....

I'm a life member now, but I don't think their database knows it yet, so I don't want to miss the announcement. Probably not possible to miss it anyway, lol. |

Yes. Lol. The distinction is that this time he specified a release date. Of course, who knows if he'll stick to it.
I don't think I'll take advantage of this news anyway, but I am curious. Last edited by cbpeck; 07-09-2012 at 11:22 AM.. |

I was at Front Sight last week for the 4 Night Defensive Handgun course. Great class by the way!
Anyhow, Nash was there Tuesday night for the July 4th festivities. He did NOT announce what the Spectacular Announcement was but did say it will NOT be ready for another couple weeks. He did a lot of talking around the subject and what I got from his talk, as well as from talking with a lot of other members there, was that it would be regarding another new facility, with Houston and Florida being the top spots. You can read my earlier posting in this thread in regards to the rumored Houston facility. |

"Purchased in the past" is preetty plain lanuage indicaing existing members are part of the deal.
I've found that information varies depending on who you speak with in the office. "Bob" doesn't seem to fit the cooperative corporate FS mold. Everyone else seems to be very friendly....or maybe it's just me.

Yes, sadly those of us that didn't buy during the current "Spectacular News" promotion may be out in the cold as I read this mornings "Last Chance" email. Even though previous emails indicated any memberships purchased in the past would receive the extra memberships, it might not apply to some of us dinosaur members.

Interesting, I have only been a member for about a week, lol, so maybe that explains why I didn't get the email you quote or today's 1 pm announcement.

I've got the email ... interesting deal for about $5k. From the email, it's pretty clear that FS is opening up one or more locations somewhere else in the U.S.

How long a member AND when put on the mailing list. Don't forget that last part.

We really shouldn't be surprised, right? Naish has used the same marketing formula for years. Every single offer is sesationalized to encourage us to snap it up on the spot, but most are no better than yesterday's offer or the one that comes tomorrow. I also think the limitations on availability are fabricated. I'd bet my membership that FS will sell as many of these current offers as they can, despite the advertized limit of 500... just like the FMK pistols.
There's no question they're working diligently to cash flow their expansion efforts. I really hope it works... on someone else's dime. |

The 500 early responders get the 2-for-1 deal. Many more than 1000 memberships will be available. He wants to continue driving the number of memberships (and hopefully members) exponentially. Even if you assume that you can sell the promotional memberships for $100 each, the return on investment is clear for members that have bought/sold TBD memberships in the past.

My point was that they'll probably come up with some reason why there are now more than 500 2-for-1 deals available at this price. History shows that they always do this. The first deadline is never the last. I'm in Washing State, so the speculated new facilities are of little interest to me. Now if they started a travelling training program then i'd be interested & might even be willing to upgrade my membership. |

Sucks for my buddy. He bought 2 diamond memberships with the intention of upgrading himself and his wife from a lower membership status. It was part of a promo package offering. However, FS won't upgrade his wife's membership. They said the promo package is to upgrade one person and the others are for new members only. The ad says otherwise and FS even admitted that their wording is misleading. They are making him either buy another promo package or add more money to what he already paid to get his wife's membership upgraded.

I find it interesting that the "spectacular news" (first installment) really doesn't include any news at all. We're all speculating about a Texas and/or Florida location, but the spectacular news doesn't officially confirm that either of these exist, let alone when they will be up and running. Sure, the email alludes to additional facilities in the future, but as far as "spectacular news" goes, this release has left me wanting.

Big News Big Deal
So for $4900 you get the special hat, the special shirt, and the special pin! A bunch of memberships that are currently sold for $125. Buy in now and we'll tell you about some other benefits too! I'm not really sure if spending almost $5K gets you much more than a $200 diamond membership. I like FS and the classes and the purpose but I'll pass on the Kool-aid.

but he has to make sure you are one of the trusted believers!
then he can reveal the extra super special secret squirrel news to you!!! textbook direct sell methods. turn your loyal customers into salespeople... insulting. i hope they continue to offer quality training, b/c that's the redeeming quality here.
