guitar center exclusions?

Sign in to disble this ad
so there's a 10% off coupon for their indoor parking lot sale but i was wondering about the excluded list. can you just not say anything and see if the coupon works? or does it automatically show that the coupon wont work when you checkout? i want to use it on a digitech pedal but im wondering if i could do or say anything to see if it works

thanks!

As far as I know from a couple buddies that work there, I don't the coupon will be applied at checkout if its excluded. Its in the system of which items can be used and it will apply coupon when scanned or entered.

Full list

Here is a full list straight from the website's rules and regulations.

The following manufacturers have chosen not to participate in this promotion: Adam monitors, AKG, Ampeg, Apogee Duets, Apple, Audix, Bogner, Bose, Crate, Crown, dbx, Digitech, Edirol, Epiphone and Gibson, ESP, EVH®, Fender®, Gretsch® guitars, Ibanez, Jackson®, JBL, KRK, Lexicon, Mackie, Manley, Markbass, Martin, Mesa Boogie, Peavey, QSC, Royer Labs, some Roland and Boss, Shure, Soundcraft, Squier®, Taylor, and select Korg, Marshall and Vox. Some additional manufacturers have chosen to be excluded from this promotion online.

Digitech is on there, and their system won't let you apply it towards those items. It red flags them.

From my experience, MusiciansFriend.com usually honors those discounts
even when the promotion says it excludes a particular brand. The
discount doesn't work online but, if you call them, you can get it.

Likewise the GC stores. I think it's rare for anyone to have anything on the exclude list actually excluded, with the exception of Bose and one or two other odd ones I forget. They've repeatedly told me at the store not to sweat it, they'll give me the discount on the stuff.

Face it, they're desperate for cash flow.

I scored an Acoustic B20 20watt 1x12 combo for $89. I played it a week ago and thought "Eh for $149 this isn't bad, but I'll order it so I get a new one and won't have to pay sales tax"

Came back on Sunday it was marked down to $99, used my coupon, came down to $89. The salesman asked, "Want me to check in the back?" Sure enough they had a new one in the box.

Cool amp. I even gigged with it (very small room)

Yep, I've even had a MF/GC phone person tell me they could honor almost all of the "exclusions" if I placed the order over the phone instead of online. The only absolute hard-line exclusions are brands like Mesa and Ric that do not allow any discounting ever.
