Deceptive/Confusing Marketing
Deceptive/Confusing Marketing
I attempted to purchase a PULSE 2 for Father's day. I tried to use the promotional discount that is highlighted and sent out on emails claiming "20% off Pulse 2 now through June 12th using code GIFT4DAD" I attempted to use this with the $299.99 "cosmetically blemished Pulse 2". The discount code would not work. I emailed customer service who did get back quickly. They pointed out that one has to somehow know to find and go to the Terms and Conditions page and just have to know and be willing to scroll through several pages to find the very last page and last item that states the code does not apply to the "blemish" discounted item for Father's day. This is not easily found and appears to be misleading as the top of the banner on the website no where states that the dad cannot get a discount on the blemish. I would imagine that a reputable company would put an asterisk or state at the top of their banner - does not apply to items already discounted. Their website is misleading as is their marketing email. I went back and looked at the email I was sent and no where does it rfer to the Terms and conditions, nor does it state that the 20% cannot be used with the Pulse 2 with Blemishes. So be aware of this misleading advertisement. A company with high standards would have simply stated "forgive us, let us offer you 20% and correct this problem" but that never occurred.
