Be cautious! I, along with the rest of you spent major $$$ over the last several months by combining accumulated team points and 20% codes. Saved mad cash by doing so (the big ticket items are great when on sale, use a 20% code and kick the team points in as well.)

For instance, I got an Easton EC90 SLX full carbon fork (Eastons best) for basically ~ $220.00 shipped. That's like taking candy from a baby.

But just earlier this week I ordered a Mavic open pro / ultegra hub wheelset for a nice strong backup set along with an SRAM 11-23 cassette. I had 1535 team points, and used 6000405 code for $10 off. Everything looked great on the email confirmation, ~ $247.00 shipped 2-day.

Low and behold, they charged my debit card the full boat & more (as the printed receipt that came with my order showed as well, ~ $275.00 shipped.) They applied the team points, but no $10 off via the code and the shipping price was $18.00 higher than quoted at checkout / email receipt! I had to "work" with customer service over the phone for 15 minutes to get it to the price the email quoted me. She stated they "don't allow combining team points with coupons." Right, I've done this a dozen times or more in the last 3 months. "I can make a one time adjustment for you today, but we can't do this again." Whatever lady, just "get'r done!"

Sad to say, but the rollercoaster ride for uber cheap prices from Performance is dead. Fun while it lasted.......

I probably never would have became a team member if not for the killer 20% codes flying around the net on a consistent basis (thank you all for the major cash saved by finding and posting said codes.) Most of Performance regular prices are not all that great, sometimes rediculously overpriced.
