Had a bit of an embarrassing situation today when trying to use this coupon. Apparently, it was bar-coded and meant to be used only once. The lady told me it had already been used. I told the lady I got the coupon from a friend, and she concluded that "my friend" must've already used it before she sent it to me. One of the other workers said, "We send these things to people, and then they put them up on the internet," (shaking her head). Another customer in line said, "They ruin it for everyone!"
Just wanted to let you know. Perhaps you could try to discern between one-time-use coupons and those that are meant to be dispersed freely. Don't want to hinder our testimony, ya know? Along those lines....I'd like to use a red box code, but are they really meant to be dispersed on the internet? If it's ok, I'll go for it, but I don't want to be pirating. It's just not worth it....
I think you're amazing, and I do love this site. I just want to be careful that all my deal-getting is fair, ethical, unselfish, and doesn't take advantage of people or businesses. Whether therefore we eat, or drink, or bargain shop.... :)
Sorry it took me so long to respond to this...I've been out of town, and am just now getting caught up on all of my blogging! I am so sorry that this happenned to you! I do not get a chance to try out all of my coupons before I post them! I try to make sure that they are legit...this one actually had people commenting (on other blogs) on how they used the coupon and were so happy with it! If I had known that this was an "e-mail coupon" I would not have posted it. I totally agree with you...that would not be ethical. Please let me know if you come across anything else that is not "legit"...I do not want to post anything like that!
I am a stay at home mom of four kids in a remote town in NE Wisconsin. My husband is involved in a Christian camping ministry and we have been serving here for eight years. The Lord has recently been giving me a greater burden to make sure our resources are being used wisely...in a way that brings Him the most glory. I hope to share some of what I have learned with those of you who choose to follow this blog.
Please feel free to e-mail me with any questions or suggestions you may have.
