Is it tacky to ask for a promotional code? I really haven't seen many posts asking for them - but I'm placing an order with CSUSA and the shipping is ridiculous. Anyone know of a promotional code for CSUSA?
Martin, This reminded me of a thread I started a few years ago after I attended a wood show and was given a "coupon" for a percentage off by the folks at the Craft Supply booth.
Since the coupon was good for a month or so I thought I would share the coupon number with fellow members. I shortly received a PM from the Craft Supply rep (who was an IAP member) asking me to please not share out the code.
His reasoning was that the discount coupons were given to people attending events, shows, etc. and was their way of "extending" the show specials and NOT meant to offer everyone the discount.
It was also explained that it helped the Craft Supply marketing folks keep track of who was at the shows, etc. and were the coupons passed value added or not. So I guess it made sense that a coupon given out at a Phoenix wood show would help them much if a person from Maine or Vermont called in an order and used the code.
Just sharing information....... I don't have any strong feelings either way so choose not to debate it since probably the majority here feel it's their right to use the codes.
