Fought Amazon for a $3.59 Samsung Blu ray player

[ixlegitballinxl]

Frustrating story that has a good ending

I placed an order with Amazon this past Sunday night for a Sammy lcd tv. Tonight while browsing the hot deal forum, I saw that Amazon started a promotion today for "Buy a Samsung tv and get the Samsung bd 1500 Blu Ray player 200 bucks off" (Considering this player is selling at 203.95) ... I saw that this applied to the same tv I bought on Sunday.. .... knowing that I just ordered this tv 3 days ago, I called Amazon to see if they would honor this promotion.

1st call

"I can't help you, but our marketing and promotion department might be able to, I sent a request for them to contact you"

This didn't sit well with me, so I called back

2nd call

"Absolutely not", since you did not order this while the promotion was going on, you don't qualify"........... So I say whats the point, I'll cancel/refuse shipment, and re order...? That's exactly what they recommended!!!!! ?????

I think it through and decide I'll refuse shipment and place a new order......So I go to the Amazon.com,go to reorder it, and when I add both items to cart, the discount doesn't apply to the order...So I gave up.. layed down...tossed and turned, decided to call back again.

Now im pissed......

3rd call

"I understand, how about I give you a 200 buck credit off the player" LOL
so while on the phone with amazon CS, I place the order online for $203.95
He puts me on hold for 10 minutes,then the rep asks me to check my amazon account to confirm the price adjustment and.................





WHAMMMMM TOTAL ORDER: $3.59

I check my bank account to confirm, and sure enough $3.59

Just wanted to share this story with others, persistence pays off

I was thinking while on hold, I hope this CS agent did not just make me order a Blu Ray player with no intention of adjusting the price lol

Thanks goes to forum member Noname for starting that thread on the deal
