At some point, you had to know there was going to be some give, some catch. All this yapping about "I got a LP Standard for $900!"...I'm still loling. And before you guys get all butthurt, I'm sure your inevitable complaining and threatening to return all this gear will get MF to fold and all will be right in the world.

Members Salsage Posted November 29, 2012 Members Share Posted November 29, 2012 wow. some of us got great deals on nice gear from MF.Why wouldnt there be some limits on the GC's? I was never under the impression it was same as cash, at least no one implied that to me. The word Gifts in there so I would expect limits, but thats me.I'm a consumer just like you guys but I think they're entitled to make $omething $omewhere.

Members 98 les paul Posted November 29, 2012 Members Share Posted November 29, 2012 They may be entitled to make some money, but misleading your customers in order to make that money is not right.

Members Fusion1 Posted November 29, 2012 Members Share Posted November 29, 2012 Yeah, what the crap? It's a friggen gift card, what if we have several $10 gift cards from this promotion? We have to make several separate orders? This is BS.

If we match a competitor, you're going to get that 50% difference. It's kind of a lengthy thread, but I answered a lot of questions about it yesterday on this thread: http://acapella.harmony-central.com/...lt-lt-READTHISI hopped on more towards the end.

Members megawzrd Posted November 29, 2012 Members Share Posted November 29, 2012 Originally Posted by watsonaka FWIW I just spoke to Justin at MF and here is what he told me. The above change applies to the front end of the purchase. For instance, you can NOT match a $400 Sam Ash product to a $800 MF product and then stack any other offer at the time of purchase (for instance BLACKFRI). He stated unequivocally that the Gift Certificates are always, and are still just like cash. He even said they are stackable on a single purchase at the Later date. He added that you could still use other codes such as the code of the day on the later date purchase when you use the Gift Certs. Point being, they are just like CASH. When you read the change in verbiage that's really pretty much what it says. If those two sentences are separate as they appear to be, that makes some sense. Sentence 1) Gift certificates are issued in $5 increments up to $100 maximum. Sentence 2) The 150% Price Match Guarantee is not stackable or combinable with other offers. Limited restrictions apply. I'm not saying it's gospel, but I'm not too worried about it. That change wouldn't stop me from buying. Don't forget that the Gift Certificates are valid through 1-31-2013. This was the first I saw regarding "good as cash", not to discredit the posters words but this is word of mouth from post #827. Who knows if there is a Justin at MF...anyways the price match guarantee has always stated: "You can then use that money on anything Musician's Friend sells (limited restrictions apply). Gift certificates are valid through 1/31/2013." I am fine with limited restrictions, but there sure is a lot of thread crapping here on speculation. I can understand some irritation to Chris's latest post about gcs not being combinable or stackable. Maybe you were told "good as cash" on the phone, but that is a separate issue. Don't get you panties in a bunch yet...relax. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's good to know that Sonic Electronix is an authorized dealer. But how did you convince your CSR of that, or did you not have to? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
