misled on best buy site

Has anyone here clicked on the page for Best Buy that has the Delphi Roady2 xm player for $29.99? The page shows right at the top "For a limited time get a free $25.00 Best Buy Gift Card when you purchase this receiver," but when I purchased the receiver I did not see anything about the gift card. I called the customer care line, and the person I spoke with said that the gift card was SOLD OUT??? How can you sell out a gift card? I cancelled the order because I see I can get it cheaper at Walmart, but it really frustrated me.

That is really weird. Don't blame ya for cancelling. And I am wondering if the gift card was being paid by the company(not BB) and they decided to only do so many. If that is the case they need to take it off the site.

I thought that deal expired? Anyway, does it still say on the page about the $25 gc with purchase? If so, PRINT OUT that page and also save it to your computer (File, Save As..). IMO, that's false advertisement.

 

Also, is there any fine print at all? I haven't looked personally..

I KNOW!!! Check out the site, it is the 1st product listed in the black friday ads currently available page. What was so weird was the girl trying to tell me the gift card was sold out, I could understand a little better if it was an expired promo or something. But anyhoo, I went ahead and bought the darn thing from Walmart.

If you click on the details link it says you have to put the giftcard into your actual order. Although it did say something about an MP3 player also. Too bad for me i bought one last week from Fry's and had opened it and the same day BB had this deal going on. Have you hooked yours up yet? I cant figure out how to run it into my car.

I bought this one for my dad, the one i actually own is the ski/fi model. We used the cassette adapter at first, then my hubby rigged it up to play on a radio station. I am beyond electronically challenged and have no idea how he did it!
