I've done zero scouting this week, so I have low expectations. I did get my rewards restored from my Batcave cancellation, so I now have 2 months worth to unload. I was hoping I could put together enough Easter items to spend all of my rewards. Of course, whatever TRU Support's escalation process is didn't work and I had to call them back after a week. Some way, some how, the CSR chatted with someone in that department and had them issued on the fly. She gave me a new number on the phone and I tested it while she was on the line. Can't wait to see the cashier's look on their face when I hand over a written down number for my restored rewards. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No s15; otherwise I would have picked my way to free airjitsu. Nothing else was really begging to be purchased. I have enough Xmen. I rarely buy Chima and Ninjago. Nothing available at $100+ price that the 20% coupon would drive a compellibg buy price for me. Even for personal use, sad to say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharkbait Posted March 25, 2016 Share Posted March 25, 2016 I went to price match the Stay Puft dimensions set with Amazon ($7.49 instead of $16.99) and the cashier said they couldn't price match it if it said Prime next to it. He just said he was told if it's prime he can't do it. I originally went to pick up some Dr Who ideas sets, online said they were in stock but sure enough they were out when I got there.

Achilles Posted March 25, 2016 Share Posted March 25, 2016 FWIW - The guy at TRU last night sounded VERY confident that 10% Thursday was going away, but mentioned there was a new promo coming to replace it. He basically said he wasn't even supposed to talk about it at all. Also, all my stores still have bins of Chicken guys. They also seem to have start busting out colored stickers for the percent off clearance blast which I am sure is heading our way soon.

He was an ill-informed cashier. They will pricematch anything sold by Amazon.com (it specifically says in their policy). Whether or not you have prime is irrelevant.

Exactly, I even said that their policy says nothing about Prime, it only has to actually be sold by Amazon itself. Most of the time it is sold by Amazon, it is going to be Prime. I didn't fight it too much even though I know they were wrong because there were a few people behind me in line and the store was closing.

Cravacor Posted March 25, 2016 Share Posted March 25, 2016 When I initially got into brick-speculating I considered getting a TRU card but noticed in the fine print TRUTH was going away 12/31/15 or 1/31/16 (I don't remember the exact date but I did post about it). Anyway, now that the date has been pushed maybe it will be pushed again. Maybe they keep an end-of-program date in the fine print and just push it every 90 days to keep their options open.

lodibricks Posted March 25, 2016 Share Posted March 25, 2016 I'm sure this has been talked about many times, but this was my first time buying/using a TRU gift card. I was told yesterday I couldn't use a gift card and get the 10% off TRUTH discount. I'm assuming this is a YMMV depending on employee or location. Also, the total amount was over $50 and my gift card was $25, so it wouldn't have covered the entire purchase. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's more of a "This is completely within company policy, but your manager might implement whatever rules he/she might want to create" situation. The two have no correlation with each other. It's been mentioned earlier in the thread; just call the CC company while in store and hand the phone to the manager if need be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, they should not allow a CC discount when using a GC. It's a loophole that hasn't been closed is all. Most "associates" don't care. So, yes YMMV. I like to pretend that I forgot and say "I forgot I gotta get rid of this thing" and then deduct the amount from the GC in my head. I have no problem with them thinking I'm flighty... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lodibricks Posted March 25, 2016 Share Posted March 25, 2016 Didn't think about it being from the CC. I wouldn't argue with them. I just keep seeing "10%+GC" type of posts and figured I might be the lone unlucky one. Thanks guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they deny you, try another cashier and if that doesn't work, you might have to try it at another store. It's YMMV since it's actually under the manager's discretion. They are store managers for a reason and they can dictate how their location is run to a certain extent. Some stores don't allow digital coupons. Some allow you to make 20 separate transactions so that you can get 20 free promo items. Just try not to stick out like a sore thumb so that loopholes and good deals don't get killed off nationwide because several managers decided to report said loopholes and deals to corporate. Try not to rock the boat so that TRU doesn't turn into another no deal zone a la B&N. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't even try a 2nd cashier, not worth upsetting anyone or pushing it. The managers see me almost every Thurs, but we shake hands each time. I hope to keep it that way. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brickolodon Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 looks like all good sets pretty much gone from TRU (I mean 40% off Technic and Arctic), i can find Birds, WallE and some Ninjago Dragons, some City sets... my 2 cents I think and sure that many or all (may be not IR set) JW will RETIRE this summer 2016...just saying.

The 'loophole' is allowing partial pay and still getting the 10% discount. However, if they allow partial pay with the 10% discount, there is no logical reason to deny someone using a GC. A GC is just a placeholder for cash to be used in a future transaction vs. using that same cash now to complete the partial pay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OP was asking about the 10% Thursday discount from the CC company. Where do you believe the 10% is coming from since you're implying it's not coming from the CC company?

Loghamel Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 (edited) Delete - I missed the part where he thought he should receive a 10% discount by using a GC (really?). I thought they wouldn't let him get the discount because he was using partial pay on his CC AND his GC.

Poly 30286 Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 So frustrating! I just wanted to pick up 75136 Droid Escape Pod on a Thursday with 20% off RRP. We love speaking Jawa in my house. Alas, no more coupon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
