With Black Friday upon us, we lace up to fight the crowds because the good deals require blood sweat and tears… or do they? We are seeing a movement away from Black Friday door-busters, and ecommerce is waiting with open arms.

Goldenwest is proud to join the movement offering 2X the rewards points for anything done online with your Visa Rewards card!

Many consumers have given up the Black Friday madness and here’s why:

1. Convenience: No waiting in line. No parking. Wear your PJ’s. Visit dozens of stores in minutes. The Internet never closes. No pushy sales people. No more wandering around a store, or asking clueless sales people where a product is; it’s just one search away.
2. Better prices: You can truly find the lowest price. No need to leave the store wondering if you are going to see the same thing in the next store 50% off. Online shopping allows you to find the best price without running from store to store.
3. Cheaper: Not just price of the product! You will spend less gas money, less money on food, etc.
4. Variety: Online stores offer a far greater amount of inventory, and selections of sizes and colors.
5. Reviews: Wondering about the quality of a product? What other consumers thought? If you hated a product and announced it loudly in a store, you would be asked to leave. Honest reviews are a consumer’s best friend online.
6. Covert: No more hiding presents in the cart. It is all done on the privacy of your computer and comes in a brown box. Worry free.

Choose online. Save some time, stress, double your rewards points, and if you are feeling adventurous you can #OptOutside this Black Friday with REI.
