Staples banned me for coupon system abuse.

[MarkI]

Awhile ago I placed few orders with Staples online and their system allowed me to stack coupons.
Today I placed an order using one coupon only and my order was canceled due to coupon system abuse. They said, from now on I can only purchase from their store (closest one is over 150 miles from me. Decision was made by corporate office :| Did it happen to any of you? What did you do to solve the problem?
Thanks for any input.

As a merchant they can REFUSE service to anyone without cause....

 

[bigrash]

Man that's a first from Staples.

Staples coupons rules. We need some more of those

Ah man......that sounds like discrimination......................get Johnny Cochran!!! "If The Coupon Fits.........You Must Aquit!!!!"

 

[MarkI]

To Be Me,
You are so right. That exactly how I took it "discrimination"

 

[Jzero]

ROFL!
Discrimination on what grounds? They know nothing about you other than the fact that they let you stack coupons and now they don't want to do business with you....
Sucks, but it's hardly discrimination.

It is quite ironic, however:
Presumably staples is miffed b/c they lose money on "coupon abuse."
However banning you from purchasing altogether also costs them your sales.
You'd think they'd just ban you from using coupons.

Oh, or how 'bout this: Fix your script so that it doesnt' ALLOW stacking coupons. Problem solved.
Que sera.

I got $2000 worth of merchandise from staples.com in 2000 and paid only about $80. That was during the times where it was possible to combine coupons. Too bad they found it out after a while and cancelled the remaining items ($4000+). Still got at least 40 boxes delivered by UPS. Anyways, I was not able to access staples.com for at least 9 months after that.

Someone summoned me?

Don't worry Mark, I recently found out that I was on "restricted" status at Staples.com and they couldn't tell me (which I think is total BS). It could be for a variety of reasons. I've contacted their corporate headquarters to find out why and have it expunged.

 

[Smolek]

hmm,. Seriously though did they say it was infinate ? Have you asked how long the ban is ?

 

[RossMAN]

Damn if I weren't "restricted" from ordering at Staples.com then I could have ordered a Visioneer 8100 USB scanner for $9.99 after rebate with FREE SHIPPING and it works with XP!
