      Resolved
      I am a customer at the ******* ** EMS store, who is an avid hiker. Today I purchased some hiking boots and was happy to know the store location would honor the online price. When I went to check out I had a $10 reward coupon from my recent purchase that was applicable to the sale. Because I didn’t have the receipt from my less then one week ago purchase Matt, who is the manager would not honor it. I asked him if he could go into my account and do an override to make it happen and he flat out refused. The principle of the matter and the fact that $10 on a $135 purchase didn’t seem to matter to him. So instead of a happy customer I’m pissed off and needless to say until this is fixed EMS will have a dissatisfied customer and an AT hiker who will certainly spread the word.

      I was sent an email with my rewards money that was about to expire so I decided to make a purchase. It turns out that there is no way to redeem my rewards money. There is no phone number to call. The chat person said to make the purchase and then email them and they would somehow adjust the amount after the purchase. Obviously I’m not going to do that. No support. No phone number. I used to like the company but no more.
