Thanks for the heads up. They'd probably get around to announcing it - in a couple of months. Kind of a Royal P.I.T.A. to set up, but may actually be a better process in the long run. Be sure to check out the hunting section too - seems like their "stuff" is a little better. (The MRE sandwiches looks like a gimme item).

I guess the real issue I have is that the members were not even informed that their original Product Test Profiles were no longer active or valid.  As it states above:  If you have an active product test profile for the old Field Test Program on FishingClub.com, you will still need to register with StuffStuff to get your product test benefit from the North American Fishing Club, as the Field Test profiles are no longer active  This potentially means that a member could be sitting around for months or years waiting for a product and not even know they are no longer enrolled.  Imagine how many members will now never get a test product unless they check their profiles or read this topic.  I don't expect to get free stuff every week, i'm not THAT guy you see on the forums who expects a bass boat,I just think we should have been informed in some way via email or a topic post from the higher ups. 

How do I do this?

Yeah, tell me about it!  Now you have to "earn points" in order to get a test product!   Maybe it will be better. I guess we will see.

Yeah, they even want to know how old you are and how much money you make.

Wow, I have enough points that i can get some rubber crawfish, if there is any to get on 'snuff/snuff! Yippie!

There are only about 20-25 "test products" to choose from and they are all things I would rather not even have.

Hey CQ;

I saw that too. I don't want most of the stuff offered either. Maybe the floatation jacket! LOL

Ha ha! I think the odds of me getting a decent test product are about the same as me winning the Click and Win...

I can't even reg. It says my e-mail dose not have a pass word and dose not even show up. i have been a l/m for three yr's . i sent them a e-mail and we all know how good they answer them ????JOHN

What a sack of fecal matter!!!

I'm in .... I have no problem testing anything ( even hooks ) it gives me a reason to go fishing LOL

I'm in but I don't see me getting any points, I just don't have the time.

It will be interesting to see if the club continues to advertise "Field testers wanted"

With all the rotten customer support and changes made recently, I am a bit interested in seeing if the club survives!

Seems like too many changes. Something must be happening with the club to cause this.

I joined just a few days before they switched and they were still using the the field testing program as bait. They obviously knew that it was on its way out already at the time and did it anyway. I probably still would have joined for the forums and magazine anyway. The real disappointment is that they continued to shamelessly use it to get new members even after it was essentially dead. Needless to say, I'm glad that I did not sign up for a life membership or anything given the mostly empty forums and somewhat low satisfaction of other members. I will give it a two year shot and see if I feel like continuing after that.

Thanks for the heads up on the feild testing change,Cap! It is too bad that the management doesn't deem it necessary to inform us of the change ,but it appears to be their normal modus operandi. Thanks again for taking the time to notify us!

No probem! I could have been a jerk and not said anything but I wanted everyone to know what was going on.  We should all be eligible and recieve some test products after all the money we have paid into being Life Members. I mean it was $300.00! And they advertise and practically promise you free stuff so I believe they need to start delivering on their promises instead of consistently short changing their members.
