  I was buying ammo from the outdoors section and decided to check out up front. A gentleman from the customer service desk called me over so he could check me out and asked if I wanted $30 off my purchase today. I said why not thinking I’d just be signing up for a rewards system but that was NOT the case. He didn’t explain what I was signing up for until I looked at a sign that was advertising an Academy Sports credit card in which you could save $30 on your current purchase. I was misdirected into signing up for said credit card. These credit cards are well known scams and I feel stupid for allowing this employee to sell me this credit card. I’ve come to learn they have to fill a sale quota for said credit cards which is why they push them like they do. This is predatorial. I came back in today to talk to someone and a few employees helped me and gave me a few options of what to do to cancel the card and said whoever sold me this card was sly and misleading. Please don’t sign up for this card PERIOD. Please learn from my mistake. And thanks to the employees who treated me like a human when I came back in, those are the type of employees you want at your company. I wish I remembered their names. And to the gentleman who sold me the card, you’re an absolute goober and should be re-trained.

  Please fix the issue with the computer system regarding online orders. I needed to exchange an item at store pickup (no items were shipped) and none of the barcodes would work from the emails or texts I was sent. It was much more hassle than it was worth for an item that I knew would not work for us.Going forward I will not make any online purchases.

  I went in on 10/09 I'm the evening and it was a young while male with mullet like haircut working alone, he ignored me as I stood at the counter. He took 3 white gentleman that he claimed where waiting before me. Once one customer told him to go ahead and help me he said do you have an ID? I gave him my ID. He allowed me to look at a few pieces then said you can look at them all day but I can't sell you anything because of your out of state ID. I asked about someone else buying it for me he said yes and told me about going to a FFL dealer since he would not serve them if they came in because he wouldn't know whether they were using my funds. I rarely experience racism but I did this day. I started to not go back but I went on with a new ID and met the sweetest man Reul! He didn't ask for my ID right away, he actually greeted me with a smile and was concerned about my needs! He was very knowledgeable and helped me with a hard purchase for me and I really appreciate him. There were also other nice men working with him that turned a bad experience into a great one. I am glad I went back and that they have hired a variety of people who hold no malice towards people who don't look like them.

  Academy Sports is by far better than Dick's in the fact that they offer a vast array of Sporting Goods including hunting and shooting, along with all other sports. I recently went here to get a new pair of golfing shoes and found exactly what I wanted, and also some new dumbbells to add diversity in my weights and was really pleased even after going to Dick's to look at the difference. I also find the staff here to continuously be positive and helpful in more than one way.
