ellen Posted November 6, 2005 Share Posted November 6, 2005 I went to Sears yesterday. They had a diamond necklace that I wanted to put on their lay a way. I was told the 50 percent off sale was only if you use your sears charge. I offered to pay in cash then instead of lay a way - but was told the sale was only if you used the charge card (I do not use charge cards, got into trouble with those years ago and now am a cash or lay a way only person). Is this legal to only give sales to charge customers. this happened in new hampshire. thanks for any help.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ellen Posted November 6, 2005 Author Share Posted November 6, 2005 yes, the store ad did say in very small print "when you use your sears card". It just does not seem right to me though, that everyone can not get the sales price. I was out shopping for my christmas present - dh likes me to pick out a nice piece of jewelry every year - I mean, the store lost out on a 500 dollar sale (the necklace was 1,000 full price).

Gloey Posted November 6, 2005 Share Posted November 6, 2005 Well, you could try this. I hate credit cards myself, I always feel so in debt when I have a balance. Open a sears account, maybe they give a bonus discount for that, and then, go to customer service and pay off the balance right away with your receipt.

erh12275 Posted November 6, 2005 Share Posted November 6, 2005 From another NON-CC user I know how you feel. We recently moved to CA...and I can't even get on my husbands bank account because I don't have a credit card. He had a atm/visa card for our old account but that bank only issues one per account...so I don't have one...so I can't get a bank account. Sorry you missed out on the sale.

I had over 24 at one time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
