Well I sent 03 FFL in and was granted access to the MidwayUSA Dealer discount program. So I priced some ammo, and checked on my phone not checked in, price was the same. Okay, I thought maybe ammo isn't covered... Checked some PMAG's, same thing... Checked on some reloading bullets, same thing..

Is this "Dealer Discount" legit because I can't find anything that is actually discounted.

Some things are discounted. Others are not. Some discounts are decent and others are not that big. There's not really a pattern there that I have been able to find. I have got a few pretty good deals from them with it. However, overall, the last few years I have shopped with Midway a lot less than I used to. They have pretty much priced themselves out of my business, as I can usually get the same things from other places for less. Sometimes a LOT less.

Pretty much this.  The good old days at Midway are at least two years in the past.

There discount sucks on most thing nowadays.  In the past, I bought several Leupold Mark IV scopes for a good price.

They used to have a good C&R discount especially on optics, but these days it's pretty much nonexistent.



Grafs has a very good discount.

Ive actually found its better to NOT have it so you can use coupons.

In today's market they can sell virtually everything in stock for full price.  There's no reason for them to discount.  Discounts are intended to promote sales.  They have all the sales they need.  

Brownells is still pretty good but even they can be hit or miss.

I find Brownells to be a better discount and usually a better price. Midway is my second option.

I just got my C&R and was going to be sending my license to "The list of vendors". But with what you said, maybe having two accounts with them using different email addresses would resolve that?

I have found a way around the no coupon to dealers thing at Midway, just start another account.  I did, same name, address, e-mail and all, just not my "dealer" account.  Never had a problem.
