5% off e-gift cards today. I might buy one and use it with my discount, it’s essentially like getting 15% off.

 

[Ringwraith917]

No TM discount on giftcards, per the TM discount policy. Unless I'm mistaken

Your not mistaken.

No but we get 10% when we use it so that’s what they’re referring to

Reminder that while we can buy them, we cannot buy them with the intention of circumventing the discount policy. Best to buy them with redcard if you have one just in case, since I’m sure national AP is watching closely today.

Correct, I meant use it as a payment method for a transaction that I’d get 10% off in the future.

Unless I’m not thinking it through, wouldn’t buying the gift cards and using them to pay with our discounts come out to the same as using a red card and getting our discounts?

Yup

 

[ConfusedCashier]

Yup

And isn’t it kinda silly for a company that has a “5% savings red card” as their big sell to offer that exact discount in a one day only deal. Kinda feels like they are missing the mark for savings for their “loyal red card holders”

They aren't going to match a $14.99 fire stick, or $49.95 Echo Show.

You can find 5% in change scattered in the parking lot or front of the store

Yes, that’s a good point I didn’t think about lol.

Totally got that on the first day. Super over-scheduled to the max. I asked one supervisor, that I actually really like, if I could just go home and was told no, for no reason. He then told the LOD that night that I should be the one to zone because I had more sales floor experience. I zoned for 6 hours. I felt so betrayed, was that punishment for asking if I could go when we are clearly overscheduled? Seemed logical to me and thought "doesn't hurt to ask" but maybe it did, I was so pissed off.

But it was pretty crazy today with the orders.
