That said, I've seen a sanctioned sale once in the last couple of years that ran across a couple of dealers, and they've snuck into the sale list on Campsaver once or twice (they're usually explicitly excluded).
Finding some retailers you like and subscribing to their email lists might be the way to go ... if you're not in a hurry!
Using Active Junky and going through Moose Jaw gets you a pretty good chunk of cash back. 10% back through Active Junky and 30% in moose jaw rewards currently with code bubble gum. Still paying full price but getting 300ish in rewards depending on what your looking for.
I got my Niak through Moose Jaw. Ordered during the a 30% back promotion, tent was full price but got $240 back to spend on their website which has about everything camping/gear wise. Between that and credit card rewards, got probably around $300 back.
