Looking at a Zoom G11, called MF, asked "can I apply a coupon".
He said "sure, I know this is eligible for a 15%". I asked how much will it be? And he said "roughly $515".
So he goes away and I hear clicking. Hes saying stuff like "I just have to add this manually.." I'm making small talk. I get out my credit card.
Then literally ten minutes later, he comes back and says "this is already on sale, I can't apply the coupon". I was a bit angry, he wasted ten minutes of my day and got my hopes up. The item is already on 25% discount. I'm on the fence and need an excuse to buy it, so I'm looking for a deal.
I just hung up, but part of me felt like I should have escalated. Just wasn't worth the headache. What is current day policy? If someone says they can apply a coupon and they reneg, is that something you can run to a manager and get an override?
