Chocolate Discount

 Anyone who reads this blog knows that I have a chocolate obsession, right?

So I was placing my order from *pricey designer chocolate company* and I applied the coupon their website was advertising, 15%, a savings of $27, then I tried to apply my rewards coupon I had earned. $10. It removed the coupon their site was advertising. I had $180 of chocolate in my shopping bag. And I qualified for free shipping.

!!!!!

I didn’t let it deter me. I placed an order for $80, qualified for free shipping and the 15% discount, saved $10.50 with the promo. And magically, my rewards points amount went up and I then qualified for a $20 rewards coupon. I decided to place the order for just over $100, used the $20 reward coupon on it. Saved $20. Plus qualified for free shipping. 

Me, relating the story to Austin: If they had let me use both the coupon and my rewards promo, I would have saved $37 and they would have been charged for shipping and handling on one order. Instead, they had to give me free shipping on two orders and I saved $30. Not as much of a savings for me, but it cost their company. And I would have had another rewards certificate for the future to bring me back. They must think their customers are stupid.

Austin: Yeah, anyone who goes through all that trouble over $200 of chocolate is probably stupid to them.
