Been a GOOD Customer of New Egg for years, lots of moo laa, so they send me their SPECIAL Promo Code Prices on things once in awhile.....the other day was a 48 Hour Promo.....I could save $50 off the HT Speakers that I already wanted to buy.....so I enter the Promo Code in process of buying, .... cannot believe the reason their 'puter told me they could NOT accpt the Promo Code: "The email address you gave is NOT Valid with this Code".......BULL PUCKY! I called them about it and they said the only thing they could do is issue me a $50 Credit after the purchase.
I feel kind of "cheated", I should NOT have bought from them, BUT too late, I did anyway....in spite of the BULL PUCKY!

If the code is not working me ain't buying... I wouldn't even have bothered to call them. But you did and you got what was offered, I don't see the problem. Computer messed up, humans corrected. I dont see any value in creating this thread.

However I am starting to see a trend with this home audio products, I have read numerous people complaining about their JBL speaker deal and some other audio component, a AVR iirc...

Overall still a darn good company to do business with, I still bitch about them every now and then, create thread, but I will love them

You're a complete idiot. You have no clue what "Bait and Switch" means and you're slandering the company for your own ignorance.

"$50 off HT speakers" says a lot. How about buying some of those speakers out the back of a white van.

You don't know what a 'bait and switch' is.

And you don't know how to use ellipses or quotation marks. Sorry you felt "cheated".

NewEgg wins this one by default.

"Sorry".

QFT.

NewEgg has lost nothing by not having you as a customer. In fact, it's probably addition by subtraction.
