Sounds a lot like swagbucks, which is what I use. You earn points to be redeemed for a whole bunch of different things. I've been getting amazon.com gift certs lately. Free stuff is cool.
ETA: Yup! Same company!

Usually takes about a week to get the gift card and then about a week to get stuff from Rossi.
Just be warned the gift card has to be for the exact amount of purchase. If you have a balanced left over you lose it. Also you can't combine gift cards on the Rossi site but you can call Rossi and have them break up or combine gift cards for you.
That's retarded. :-D I'm at the 200$ level now, maybe I'd just do it in 50$ increments.

Yeah I know, but it you call Rossi they are super cool on the phone. They will break up or put together the gift cards you have to get you the amount you need for the purchase.
Also be warned that the gift cards don't cover shipping.
That's why when I need a new pair of googles I just ordered the ones they had as a prize. It was cheaper that way.

Didn't Rossi stop making goggles this year? There aren't any in the online store anymore.
Pretty sure they stopped making helmets, goggles, snowboard boots, etc.

So take your points and use them on Swagbucks.com. Same company. Bigger selection. I usually get amazon.com giftcards there.

Don't think the points are transferable.

They show up in the grand total but you can't use the Rossignol points in the Swagbucks store and the Rossi points can't be used to get anything in the Swagbucks store.

Darnit! You're right! Going back to swagbucks... more stuff you can get with your points.

Just depends what you want and how often you use it. 250 points gets you $50 at the Rossignol store but only $25 at Amazon.
The Rossi helmets on the site is 600 points (which would be about $65 in amazon gift cards) and the Googles ar 580 or ($60) shipping included & no tax.
To me those are really good deals for those items. So if they are something you want and could use I think you are better off using Rossi site.
Just my 2 cents.

That's the thing... already have a brand new helmet, 3 pairs of goggles... don't really need anything gear-related. Have you checked out swagbucks? There are a lot of options other than gift cards. I've used bucks for iTunes downloads and they have drawings, too, to win larger amounts.

Actually the $15 i-tunes gift card cost less on the Rossignol site.

Didn't do the card--downloaded songs directly through swagbucks. But thanks for the advice.

I didn't know you could do that. I will have to check it out.

Hey NYC, did you ever try to order something using the local pickup option?

I did last winter when I was in Tahoe. The local pick up was real easy because to do because the ski shop that carried Rossi stuff was near by and I could save on the shipping. I picked up my poles that way.
I am back in NYC now and picking up at ski shops here is a real pain (who wants to schlep the stuff home on the subway) so I had them mail me the boots.
Best bet would be to check which stores you can pick up at. If there is one near you do it that way and save on shipping!
Awesome! Turns out my son needs new boots for ski camp by next week, if I can do local pickup then I can prob get them for him by thursday of next week. :-D
