Double discount at Guitar Center

#243
So I got this Order Verification email that says I have to call into their 800 number, and I'm thinking to myself "Great, they want me to call in and tell me my order is no good." So I call, and they just had a problem with me shipping to my work address because it's not on file. So I told the Customer Service Guy to send it to my billing address and he continued processing my order.

I'm optimistic. I think that they fixed whatever issues they had with their coupons and whatever orders got through will be delivered. I seriously doubt they will have an employee search internet threads and try to match them up with orders in their system. I also highly doubt that they have some spider bot that crawls music threads looking for customers that use multiple coupon codes.

I fully expect to get my order delivered, and have every right to the merchandise that I bought within the confines of their shopping cart. If their coupons are jacked, it's their own fault. Besides, it's not like I ordered thousands of dollars in gear. I ordered one middle of the road guitar that I got 50% off list.

That's exactly what happened to me last night. My Billing/shipping addy didn't jive (along with my daily debit limit). She was quite accommodating and told me that everything looked great...until this afternoon when I received the dreaded email...

Those who were in the same situation, did you even get a shipping tracking ?. In other words, is a shipping tracking number a waranty they won't call for verification purposes ?

Eh, im inclined to agree with the other guy. With all of this crap going on they are probably more focused on orders of in stock items. Sure theres a larger chance it may be seen more times but after a while people may not think about this discount issue like they are now.

Bummer on the tracking # cancel, prob got caught because it was a more expensive item.

I have a sneaking suspicion the "back-order" guys will fare a little better here...after the smoke clears and all...

I hope so, I have only one item, one order (only the first 3 coupons used for 50% off).
So far I have: 1. GC Email confirming order. 2. Order status "approved" on GC site at the discounted amount. 3. GC backorder notification email. 4. Nothing posted to credit card.

For those who got cancelled so far, how many coupons were used?
