I'd point to the part of that sign where it says that certain items are exempt.
To be honest, you did miss the deadline.

I love these threads. He missed the sale. Only brands that are ever REALLY exempt from those are: Apple, Mesa Boogie & Bose, all others are just per vendor agreements that we list them in there.

Guy you're not getting it. If you've ever ordered anything from anywhere, or went to a store and bought something, you know EVERY TIME there's a list of brands that are excluded. You say you've ordered a lot from them. You have to know this is always the case. I know it, everyone responding knows it. Everyone reads the list of brands not eligible when they get those coupons in the mail.
You're answering your own complaint and making this entire thread pointless. MarkBass is not eligible. You getting the deal where there isn't one, is the exception. And they aren't going to make it obviously.

The sign you refer to undoubtedly says $50 Off Your $500 Purchase* with that asterisk, and down below in tiny print next to an asterisk it lists the brands that are exempt. If the sign doesn't explain that, you may have a case. I'm betting the asterisk and fine print are there. Case closed. 
So you made the mistake and you are mad at them? The reason the $50 coupon will not work is because the item has to be $500 or more. The New York 121 is $499. Only $1 difference but that's how they can get around it.
I've found that among GC 123 and MF there's almost always a sale going on and they honor each others sales. Wait a week or 2 and watch their sites.
If it bothers you that much, go talk with someone on their management team and explain your side of the story. Customer service reps usually don't have that kind of authority to make exceptions.

These "deals" from MF, Guitar Center, etc are really a bit of a scam. Even their own store brand stuff is often excluded from their coupon deals. It is pretty frustrating, and while they do disclose everything in the small print, it's kinda' deceptive when there's really very little that the offer actually applies to.
