October 15, 201312 yr Have anyone try to buy two Death Star and use the VIP points to bought something for free and refund the two Death Star so u can get free lego?
October 15, 201312 yr I am pretty sure that LEGO will deduct the amount from your VIP account for returns, so you'd be at negative $80 in VIP points.
October 15, 201312 yr There are shady people who try this all the time. They have multiple VIP cards so they can use one for purchases and one for returns. It doesn't take TLG long to figure it out so they combine the cards and one day the person wonders why they have a negative balance.
October 15, 201312 yr Author I will personally never tried this kind of things Just see how will lego group respond to this kind of situation .
October 15, 201312 yr Either you'll need your receipt, in which case they'll automatically deduct the points, or you'll attempt an exchange with no receipt, which you can only do up to $500. Not exactly a sustainable strategy, especially since a ban is likely in the end. Also, some questions are better left unasked. We don't tolerate shadiness round these parts. Not saying you're shady; just sayin.
October 15, 201312 yr No doubt, someone trying this more than once on the same card or at the same store would be rumbled pretty quickly and TLG would take the points back and most likely request the freebies are returned as well. I ain't shady, I's a standing in the sun....
October 15, 201312 yr My opinion: You could also start stealing small sets from the lego store... same basic idea...
October 15, 201312 yr Printing alternate bar codes and placing them on the more expensive sets giving them a cheaper point at checkout sounds much more feasible.
