I expect most people can get better prices off Orbitz, Expedia or even off their travel agents.

So why did they make a big deal that they were cancelling the discount? It did not help them now did it.

Still, I’ll bet you lost more than those 13 tickets in sales to your airline already.

Do the math....

So they are driving away business over 13 tickets? The key isn’t how many NRA members took advantage of the discount. Its how many customer who are sympathetic to the NRA, free speech, and or the 2nd Amendment. I’m personally no longer going to use my Skymiles Card and will be transitioning fully off of Delta if they don’t make things right. They had no reason to be baited into this fight and their claim that they are being neutral is a damn lie that not even the dumbest among us would believe. Neutral is to do nothing and treat all customers equally. While I support the right of them to discriminate how they will I certainly am alarmed that corporations are being used as an extension of radical left wing politics to suppress speech and intimidate.

They must be feeling some heat.

Hope they lose a bunch of money over this virtue signaling stunt.

This was already said a thousand times. How many people took advantage of the Enterprise or Delta/United discounts? Nearly no one. No one joins the NRA for discounted car rentals.

These companies were stupid to step into a heated political debate because of some leftists on social media. It's like Carbonite dropping its ads on Rush Limabaugh's show because of the #DumpRush thing after his comments about Sandra Fluke. How'd that work out? Oh, the CEO of Carbonite said it was a stupid mistake that hurt their business and regretted having done it.

Maybe these companies should grow a spine and commit to waiting one full month before announcing they're dropping this or banning sales of assault rifles or Confederate flags or whatever. These outcries never last long before the fickle American public moves on to the next fake outrage.

"Come on, you mouth-breathing, flyover country rubes. The discount wasn't even a big deal. Why are you mad at us? Now, shut up and get back to being good little customers."

Is that s’posed to make us look bad?

You idiots really are fools because it makes YOU look all the dummer and shallow.

You took a political stand because you thought it wouldn’t harm you.

Suck it up buttercup and if I were on your board of directors I’d be after your jobs.

They probably looked at the 13 tickets and thought they weren’t going to lose anything by dissing the NRA. LOL

Probably thought it was a cheap way to gain social justice points, until it bit them on the azz.
