La Sportiva still on ExpertVoice?

Can anyone with AAC (or IMBA) membership

verify that the La Sportiva discount is still available? Thanks!

AAC- gone

AF- gone

Nothing good was ever in stock anyways.

You should still get AAC for the rescue benefit

Just checked my expertvoice, it’s there. 

Do you have another affiliation besides AAC? I just checked and its gone for me. 

I have it with the NOLS Alumni affiliation on ExpertVoice.

NOLS Alum and I have it as well. However, it is no longer directly on ExpertVoice, instead you get a 30% off code that you use on the La Sportiva website. So not as good as it used to be.

If you are able to get access to it on outdoor pro link I have found it to be better access on there

I saw it a day or so ago as a Vet. I haven't been able to add AAC, yet.

Hey All. I just logged into my expertvoice account (AAC affiliation) to pick up a #6 camalot, when I noticed that they no longer carry cams (though I can still see BD climbing apperrel). I didn't realize you get different access depending upon which groups your affiliated with, and I wonder if they pulled the camalot discount for AAC members. I just wanted to see if anyone else has had a similar experience or knows a definitive answer. The AAC discount seems to be losing a lot of its luster now. We used to get totem discounts too for a hot second.

I still get La Sportiva through Fire/Rescue affiliate on Expertvoice

I have it through my challenge course/ summer camp affiliation.

I had terrible experience with bd on expertvoice anyways. I’d place an order and they they would only fulfill like 2 out of 10 items with no explanation.  Happened like 3 times, they seemed allergic to actually shipping climbing gear.  Paying a service fee and $15 shipping to only get a few things from your order was pretty frustrating.

Also for some reason the shipping isn’t free on expert voice when it is on outdoor prolink…

It’s only free during friends and family. The rest of the year is $30 which make most things not worth it. 

Mammut and BD have been decent on Expertvoice if you can find what you need in stock. Unfortunately BD soft goods were 50% off for a long time and it appears that was recently reduced to 30% discount. 

Hoping it returns to normal after the holidays but kinda doubt it.

I had a similar experience with BD— I ordered a pair of fancy trekking poles and threw in an atc and some carabiners to get above the $150 free shipping threshold. They cancelled the poles and charged me $15 shipping on the remaining ~$40 order.

expertvoice finally refunded me the shipping cost a month after I filed a complaint, but it really left a bad taste in my mouth. 

Just circling back! Thanks to everyone who shared their experiences. I did email ExpertVoice and confirmed with them that BD reduced the goods they are making available through the AAC discount.

Also noticed BD removed almost all of their gear for AAC memberships. Too bad. I bought my entire rack this ways and saved A LOT. FWIW the shipping and processing fees only made the cost savings worth it if you ordered a whole rack anyways…hope it comes back at some point…made buying matching gear feasible.
