You're right, the ads say the deal doesn't start until Sunday the 6th. But more than one poster at Fatwallet is claiming to have gotten the deal tonight. The shelf tags are already up advertising it. http://www.fatwallet.com/forums/hot-deals/972902/?start=60

Poster on another deal site says some stores are selling with the $50 off right now. The newspaper advertisements around here say the deal doesn't start until the 6th. I didn't think individual stores had any control over sale start dates and times. I recall previous WalMart deals only...

You admit you haven't read the thread, then still say that confoosious has a point. He Doesn't. Sure there are cases of ridiculous entitlement, this isn't one of them. Hell, if you look hard enough, you'll find instances of anything. So of course there are cases where people whine and moan...

Except that Amazon made it so damn difficult to tell if you'd gotten the deal or not, I suspect only a small minority didn't check out. The key indicator was a 1 cent price difference. Sure, regular top notch deal hawks realized they hadn't gotten the deal, but that's not the average Amazon...

You still don't get it. (shakes head). This had nothing to do with your delusions of an entitlement society. (Though I do finally get why you're posting these rants. You gave it away with the talk about "entitlement society". You're just another follower of right wing talk radio and are...

Umm. Maybe because Amazon fixed the problem. It seems clear that Amazon is notifying every single person who may have been baited and switched, and offered them the discounted item. In doing so, Amazon has removed the bait and switch, because they've given everyone the discounted item. (and...

It took them about 24 hours to get back to me. If you canceled, they'll ask you to order again and then email them the new order number so they can adjust it for the discount. After ordering again, I'm guessing it will take them another day to adjust orders.

Just got an email from Amazon requesting that I re-order my canceled item after which they'll issue the $100 credit within a week. As I expected, Amazon is making this right with all their customers. Whoever at Amazon made the decision to change the Gold Box terms just for this specific...

I understand that you think you know what bait and switch is. The reason you're wrong is that you've applied a much stricter standard than is factual. Amazon took the discounted item out of a great many customer's carts and replaced it with the same item at Double The Price! This was done...

Except it wasn't. (shakes head) As I wrote previously, it was discounted on the confirm page, just not in the confirm e-mail. I still have the browser page to prove it. Why are you so shocked that Amazon had a system glitch? Still, it's not the glitch that I find so amazing, it's that...

I've got plenty of clues, so I'll buy one for you. When it rings up at the discounted price, but they charge your credit card full price, that's bait and switch. That's what happened to me and a lot of others, it IS classic bait and switch.

Exactly! Amazon is using a classic bait and switch sales tactic. (illegal in many states) When a customer puts a discounted item in their cart, and is then sold a full price item without being told that it's no longer discounted, that's classic bait and switch. Amazing, I never thought...

3 minutes? More like 15 seconds. I had my order fully completed within 15 seconds, the discount was in my cart, but not in the email confirmation. The really crooked part is that Amazon then confirmed an order for the FULL PRICE item. If I hadn't been reading here, I'd never have noticed...
