Miles for Boating/Sailing Supplies?
Buying a new boat this year ..............actually only new to me. A 1985 Tartan 34 that's going to need a good bit of gear to get in shape.
Any vendor that you're aware of where bonus miles (ideally Continental OnePass or SPG) are given for a boat store?

Nothing other than using a miles-earning credit card, but like most boat owners, you'll probably get to know West Marine quite well. And as a new boat owner, they get you started with some discounts for the first 30 days.

Besides the West Marine program, there are also some places that give cash back through an intermediary. For example, I think that Overtons, Cabella's and Bass Pro shops give cash back through fatwallet.com.

I also noticed that the Marriott Rewards Mall has a few stores that offer boating supplies. These stores include:
Once you get sufficient Marriott points they can be transfered into miles.
(the minimum is 10k pts -> 2k Miles)
- Boaters World (2pts/dollar)
- Bass Pro Shop (4pts/dollar)
- Cabelas (3pts/dollar)
- West Marine (3pts/dollar)
- Dicks (4pts/dollar)
