Thief: Deadly Shadows (XBX) $19.99!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ikill2game]

ok, i know this deal is mentioned in the $5-$20 off circuit city thread, but alot of people might overlook it since it is such a small part of that huge thread, so i'm making a separate post about it.

THE FACTS:

- this week circuit city has thief on sale for $34.99.

- circuit city accepts competitor's coupons.

- target has an online coupon for $15 off thief for xbox (http://www.getintothegame.com/bonus_level/coupon.aspx?catID=85&itemID=115608) that you can print out.



THE PLAN:

- print out this coupon (http://www.getintothegame.com/bonus_level/coupon.aspx?catID=85&itemID=115608)

- take it to circuit city

- get a copy of thief (for xbox)

- take it to the service desk

- hand them the game and the coupon.


then you should be walking out of there with a copy of thief: deadly shadows for xbox for only $19.99 + tax (just like i did last night)!

[legion_stxds]

But will it work?

[epobirs]

OF course it won't work. If you wanted to work would you take up being a thief? You do crime to avoid honest labor that might be described as work.

Apparently.

[legion_stxds]

No... does circuit city really honor other retailer's coupons?

[sj41]

No... does circuit city really honor other retailer's coupons? :roll: He just said they did.

[jmon22]

Yes Circuit City accepts other retailer's coupons's. I don't know what is up some of the posters *** in this topic, but if you don't have anything good to say about a deal, don't say anything at all. Where are all of the deal's that these guys posted?? So don't criticize someone elses.

This is indeed a good (maybe great depending on how much you want this game) deal on a pretty much brand new game.

[yeahokthenfu]

This is a oood deal but i cant afford anymore games, spent like over 200 in the past two weeks

[bignick]

My CC sucks about matching competitors coupons. I took one in, and was told no, they would only use the coupon off the regular price. BASTARDS!

[ikill2game]

No... does circuit city really honor other retailer's coupons?

i read about them honoring competitor's coupons a long time ago over on vgtalk.com. one of the members there said he worked for circuit city and that it was store policy to accept competitor's coupons. so i decided to try it out for myself:

circuit city had (and still has) gladiator: sword of vengeance for xbox for $19.99, so i brought in one of those best buy coupons that come with the gamer's gift card. the coupon is good for $5 off any video game or video game accessory priced $19.99 or more. i brought the game and the coupon up to the service desk and it worked like a charm.

since then i have used about 8 of those $5 best buy coupons at 2 different circuit cities and i've used this $15 thief coupon. if they would have had more than one copy of thief i would have used even more of them and sold the extras to you guys.

i've even used the $5 best buy coupons when price-matching, for instance fry's had futurama for xbox regularly priced $19.99, but fry's doesn't accept competitor's coupons so i wanted to try circuit city to get an extra $5 off. my local circuit city didn't have any in stock, but the one over in arlington (20 mins away) did.

i drove over there, got the game off the shelf, brought it to customer service, told them that fry's had it for $19.99. they called fry's to verify, then rang it up. i then handed her a $5 best buy coupon. she told me they didn't take those, but i already knew they did from using them at my local circuit city, so i told her that they do. she went and asked a manager and he said that they did. futurama xbox was mine for $14.99 + tax!

[legion_stxds]

Well... Target's price point is $49.99 - $15 off coupon = 34.99 (http://www.target.com/gp/search.html/ref=sr_bx_1/602-9109838-9918235?url=index%3Dtarget&field-keywords=thief) which is what circuit city is selling Thief for. I was under the impression that they would just meet their competition's prices. Dunno could be wrong... but hey!?

[ikill2game]

Well... Target's price point is $49.99 - $15 off coupon = 34.99 (http://www.target.com/gp/search.html/ref=sr_bx_1/602-9109838-9918235?url=index%3Dtarget&field-keywords=thief) which is what circuit city is selling Thief for. I was under the impression that they would just meet their competition's prices. Dunno could be wrong... but hey!?

if this was a pricematch deal, then you would be correct, but it is not. it is a competitor's coupon deal. the coupon clearly says $15 off of thief for xbox. circuit city has thief for $34.99. since they accept competitor's coupons and and the coupon says $15 off of thief for xbox, then they don't have much choice.

now if the coupon said $15 off of the normal price of $49.99, i could see why you would say that, but it doesn't, it just says $15 off.

furthermore, since myself and several others on this site HAVE ALREADY DONE THIS!!!! i really can't see why in the hell you are being so INCREDIBLY skeptical!

if you're really that much of a chickenshit, just come to terms with yourself and stop spreading your seeds of doubt among the others here.

[ikill2game]

My CC sucks about matching competitors coupons. I took one in, and was told no, they would only use the coupon off the regular price. BASTARDS!

even if that were the case, you could still get it for $24.99 since the price sticker on the copy i got last night was $39.99. circuit city is having a sale this week, $5 off all video games, that's why it's ringing up $34.99.

just take the coupon in and try, if they say they can only do it off the regular price, say ok, give me $15 off the regular $39.99 price.

[JasonTerminator]

Is the $35 price at CC in this week's Sunday Paper, or is it just in store?

I don't see it in my ad.

[legion_stxds]

Wow.... would have never thought you would be so emotional over this. LOL Anyway... I have to drive about an hour to go an try this where I live and at the current price of gas that gets expensive so I was curious as to wether it would work. Moreover, the game has a major bug... and that is reason to consider whether or not I should buy it at a higher price. So cut me some slack and please don't think I'm attacking you... cuz in the original post you never said you had already tried it.

[ikill2game]

i haven't looked at the ad, but the official circuit city weekly ad post on this thread (http://www.cheapassgamer.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=17922) has it listed in it.

[optimolife]

But is the game worth it?? Have you played Chronicles of Riddick? is it anything like that ?

[ikill2game]

yeah, i wouldn't do it if i had to drive an hour. but i did say that i had tried it in the original post, you just need to read harder. i did it last night with no complications at all, but my local circuit city is pretty cool like that.

[JasonTerminator]

WTF, that thread says it's the PC version, and the coupon is for X-Box.

How the fuck did that work out? And the PC version isn't on sale in my ad either.

[legion_stxds]

Ah... (Just like I did last night) Duh....
<--- I'm a MORON!

[JasonTerminator]

Nevermind, it's a storewide drop. I just called and found out, so I'm outta here!

[jrutz]

Wait, I'm totally confused right now...

So are you saying now that Thief: Deadly Shadows (XB) has officially dropped to $20 storewide? Including Best Buy/EB/Gamestop?

Jeremy

[ikill2game]

WTF, that thread says it's the PC version, and the coupon is for X-Box.

How the shaq-fu did that work out? And the PC version isn't on sale in my ad either.

no no, you are looking in the best buy section under PC games. find the circuit city section (in the very first post of that thread), then look at the ps2, xbox, and gc sections under circuit city. notice the very first thing listed in each one of those sections is "Save $5-$20 on all games!". well, circuit city's normal price on thief for xbox is $39.99, so $5 off is $34.99.

[ikill2game]

that would be some kind of awesome! $15 off $19.99... the thought of it is making me all hot & bothered!

[shipwreck]

I now see why there are always those reading comprehension portions on standardized tests. I can't read this thread without cracking up.

This is indeed a good (maybe great depending on how much you want this game) deal on a pretty much brand new game.

You need to re-reead that sequence of posts, reflect on the name of the game in question and try to consider the context. You can also try this with those movies and TV shows labeled 'Comedy.' You'll find they're much more interesting that way.

[jmon22]

Yeah I understand what he was meaning now that he edited it, but before it sounded like he was just being a nuisance. Sorry for anyone that received any unkind words from me for no apparent reason.

[legion_stxds]

No hard feelings....

[ikill2game]

But is the game worth it?? Have you played Chronicles of Riddick? is it anything like that ?

i imagine it is worth $19.99. it got an 80% review at $49.99. i have chronicles of riddick and am currently playing it. i haven't played this new thief yet, but i did play the original thief many years ago and it was one of my favorite games back then.

it's not easy to compare it to riddick since the games are so different, but here's some similarities and differences.

in riddick you are trying to sneak out of a place (prison to be exact). in thief you are trying to sneak into places (several) to relieve them of all the valuables.

you are encouraged in both games to hide the bodies of your victims in the dark so you don't get found out.

you do alot of hiding in the dark in both games, waiting for the oppotune moment to strike.

it is similar to riddick in the level where you are trying to sneak into the mainframe to get to the dna encoder. after that it gets very different, however. thief is set in medieval times, so there are no guns. once you get the guns in riddick, you don't have to worry about sneaking as much.

i guess it could be if it had actually gotten a price-drop. but since it hasn't gotten a price drop, i'd have to say... what the fuck are you talking about?

[legion_stxds]

Yeah so true... Kotor is super buggy and I paid full price (Would still pay full price... I love playing it)... though that was before I started to lurk here.

[Stryffe2004]

I went yesterday and tried to do this and was not able to do it. A friend went yesterday to a different CC and was able to get it for $18 and some change ($34.99 - $15.00 + 10% off). My mistake was asking. I went the first time and asked them if they match. I went today and TOLD them that I had a price match. She took the coupon, subtracted and and I was off with Thief for about $22 after tax.

[legion_stxds]

Awesome

[Sporadic]

Damn and I am dead broke. I guess I will have to pull 20 dollars out of my ass somehow and get this.

[jshorr]

This is great for friendly CC's. The CC's near me would never allow it. They'd just say that it can't be done on sale items. Unless there's something to the contrary in writing the store manager can just say whatever they want....

[mtxbass1]

I can verify this today, as I was able to pick up Theif 3 for $19.99 at my local circuit city via the competitors coupon price match.

[alongx]

Yes Circuit City accepts other retailer's coupons's.

Unless coporate policy changed drastically in the last year and a half, it isn't common practice to accept competitor's coupons. When I worked customer service in a CC, it was prices only, and only when competitors had it in stock. Coupons were turned away. It could be that you happen to have CC's where employees/managers don't give a shit and just take it and adjust prices anyway - I do know that since I left they stopped requiring managerial consent to every price match.

[Renzokuken]

Oh man i really gotta try this. First Best Buy gives me shit and maybe Circuit City will too.

well, there are 2 members on vgtalk that are both emplyees of circuit city and both of them have said that it is store policy to accept competitor's coupons. furthermore, i have tried it at 2 circuit cities near me and the managers at both stores said that they do infact accept competitor's coupons when the customer service people went and asked them if they were supposed to take the coupon or not.

likewise, i have read on here that some people have tried using competitor's coupons at their circuit cities and have been turned down. that is sad. atleast there are quite a few people responding to this thead saying that they have been able to do it.

[everdave]

I JUST TRIED THIS AND IT WORKED PERFECTLY

And you do not have to go to the service desk. Also, while you are there look for games on sale - every game is at least $5 off the sticker price until June 12th!!!

I got lots of 19.99 games for 14.99, I got Riddick for 44.99, I got Thief (with the coupon) for 19.99 and I got 2 9.99 games for 4.99 (including Um Jammer Lammy) - works on PC games too!

Finally CC has some deals going - I havent darkened their doors in a long time!

Check it out before Fat wallet bastards pick this deal up!

[thekleaner]

Tried it at 3 Circuit Cities here in the dallas area....none would do it. :x

[Strider Turbulence]

I"m trying this tommorw. I gots rejected from a Wario World PM the other day but I'm gonna cause a scene if they won't take the coupon.

[Renzokuken]

Is there a written policy about CC accepting competitor coupons? I need some verification on this so i dont get screwed tomorrow.

[optimolife]

I'll let you know how it works out for me tomororw, gonna try first thing in the morning.

[pimp tyranny]

is thief made by the guys who did Deus Ex and Deus Ex: Invisible War?

love those games

[lain21us]

That's really great that somebody knows two random people who work at CC and INSIST that they accept competitor's coupons. However, I've yet to see ANYBODY, ANYWHERE produce this mysterious document detailing this policy. In contrast to the words of these people, I can state for certain that I've been to every Circuit City within 10 miles of San Jose, California, and none of them has been willing to take a competitor's coupon. This is a good deal if your CC will, but let's be real here. I think it's fair to say that this is definitely YMMV.

[The Successful Dropout]

my cc's wont take competitors coupons...if only someone someone could obtain an actual in-store policy website or something so i could print it out and show them....

[The_Continental]

I did this several days ago - worked like a charm.

[Fodder]

Yes Pimp, it is.

[thekleaner]

The 1st CC that i went to said they didnt accept coupons, i argued but to no avail....The 2nd two both accepted the coupon but checked the web and said that at 34.99 (the current CC sale price) is the same as the price at Target with the coupon (49.99 -15.00) so i couldnt use it. :evil:

[optimolife]

Just walked out of CC with Thief for $21.19 after tax.

At first the manager never heard of CC taking competitor's coupons but I insisted I use them ALL the time (not true), he made a quick call and was told to take it. It was marked $39.99 but I got it for $21.19, thanks to whoever figured this out.

BTW they have a big sign behind the cust service desk that says CC will gladly match any competitor's price.

[dennis_t]

This worked for me yesterday. Actually, it ended up being $18.49 due to some weird computer calculation that I didn't quite get.

Thanks for the deal!

[jrutz]

For all you New Yorkers, I just went to the Circuit City in Union Square and they wouldn't do the deal. The woman looked at the printout and said: "We don't pricematch on competitor's coupons, rebates or special promotions." End of story.

They did have about five Soul Caibur IIs for Xbox, $14.99. I left some for you guys. ;)

Jeremy

[Kaijufan]

Nice deal. Too bad the closest CC to me is over 100 miles away. :x

[jrutz]

You know if you want an even better deal:

Buy Full Spectrum Warrior. Circuit City is giving a $10 gift card with purchase. Being that FSW is $45 with the $5 discount this week, that's not too shabby of a deal.

Then turn around and use the $10 gift card on Thief and walk out with it for $10 and change!

Jeremy

[indytgn]

Worked for me today. I called first and they did not hesitate to say yes.
Also, mine too was $18.49 before tax. Along with the $5 discount, then the $15 coupon, they are price matching!! So another $1.50 off to get to $18.49! With tax, I spent $19.69.

BTW, this was in Minneapolis.

[bsesb2003]

Has this worked for anyone in the NJ CC"s, thanks.

[GameDude]

I was thinking about this just the other day. Since I saw this thread, I thought it'd be worth it to try. Yep. I got it for like $18.60 after tax today. w00t!

[alongx]

well, there are 2 members on vgtalk that are both emplyees of circuit city and both of them have said that it is store policy to accept competitor's coupons. furthermore, i have tried it at 2 circuit cities near me and the managers at both stores said that they do infact accept competitor's coupons when the customer service people went and asked them if they were supposed to take the coupon or not.

Like I said, that was how CC was when I worked there. Thanks for enlightening me on this, I really didn't think they'd accept coupons and stuff.

[ikill2game]

congrats to all who were able to get in on this! :applause: \:D/

my sympathy to those who got rejected :-({|= :cry:

and to all those who are either too fucking stupid :dunce: or just too scared :baby: to even try, ROTFLMAO! what a bunch of losers! #-o

[Sporadic]

I called my CC and they said they only that the coupon off of the company it comes from price. So Target has it for 50 it would drop the price from 50 to 35. Fucking stupid if you ask me. I will try the CC in Vero Beach before i give up (I called the one in Melbourne....looks like they got tipped off to this deal. I didn't even mention that it was Thief 3 I was going to use it on and they used it as the example)

[andrew333]

my cc did this for me so i got it for $19.99 plus tax, yay

the manager did tell me that store policy did not provide for the acceptance of competitor coupons but that he would do it just this once since it may have been done for me in the past, pretty cool i thought

[Jonny Polychronopoulos]

I was surprised it worked for me considering how awful Circuit City's customer service is in general, and that they still had copies. Unfortunatley they didnt take the ten percent off but really I can't complain- at $22 its about as cheap as it will ever be for at least the next year. Nice work guys. Now we just have to figure out something similar for Riddick and FSW.

[Renzokuken]

crap, i jus called my circuit city and they said they dont accept it. Should i go anyways?

[MIX_MASTER_ICE]

Sorry, but this wont' work. The topic creator is likely a liar. CC won't accept theirs or any other competitors coupons on items they have on sale. This would work on a CC non-sale item, but it's a no-go on their sale items. BB and most other stores are the same way. Nice try :lol:

[optimolife]

MIX_MASTER_ICE are you stupid? read all the posts, plenty of people got in on this deal, including myself.

[hohndog]

I've used the GGC at CC many times and you actully get $5.50 off since they pricematch %110 of the difference. The GGC is pretty much a coupon. I'm going to pick up TDS with the Target coupon tomorrow. Thanks for the post. Great deal.

[controlcommerce]

The coupon expires on the 20th. Any word when CC will expire the $35 sale? I'm going to have to wait until Monday to try this. Will it be too late?

[ikill2game]

The coupon expires on the 20th. Any word when CC will expire the $35 sale? I'm going to have to wait until Monday to try this. Will it be too late?

i think the sale is only good thru tomorrow, so you better come up with $20 quick if you want to do it.

[controlcommerce]

Damn, looks like I have to pass on the deal. Thanks you very much anyway ikill2game. Keep up the good work man.

[Galanthas]

Not true. It seems it's a YMMV type of thing. I purchased PGR2 and Crimson Skies when they were on sale for $24.99. I paid $20.66 each after using the Best Buy Gamers Gift Card coupon there. I wouldn't say it was their store wide policy, but I have never had a problem using that particular coupon at the CC near me. I haven't tried any of the Target coupons as of yet though.

[legion_stxds]

I went to the city to see Riddick (kicked ass!) and though hey I would try to get Thief while I was there. I got shut down... (Damn their bastardly ways) the clerk called target to see what price they sold Thief for... turned out because Target only sells it for 34.99 that was the lowest they would go. So I told them I would buy it from Target then... they just stared at me... oh well. Damn their bastardly ways. Looks like it is gonna be per store guys. Good Luck All!!!!

[n00bie]

If your Circuit City won't take the coupon just take it to target and buy the game for $34.99. It's worth it.

[Renzokuken]

If your Circuit City won't take the coupon just take it to target and buy the game for $34.99. It's worth it.

If thers an opportunity to get a cheaper price, the Cheap Ass Gamers will put up the good fight to get it.

I finally been collecting up money from loose pocket money, and allowance, ended up with a little more than $20, yay, finally get to cash in, thanks! :)

Yeah I don't blame you, but don't miss out on a great game because you can't save $20

[new2dagame]

My local CC says that they accept manufacturer's coupons but not competitor's coupons. This is the answer I got after she asked what competitor it was and what video game it was for.....CC is now on my suck list.

[icruise]

I called my CC and they said they only that the coupon off of the company it comes from price.

This sentence makes my brain hurt. :shock:

[mick16]

Just went to Circuit City in Madison Heights, MI and picked up Thief for $18.49. Price started at $34.99, he then deducted $15 with the coupon and finally gave me 110% of the price difference. He punched in some code on the register which brought up a menu of like 12 competitors which included Best Buy, Target and Wal Mart plus some others I can't remember. He picked selected Target and put in a note of instore coupon for $15 . No hassle or arguing with store managers.

Also picked up Alter Echo for $4.96 and Metal Gear Solid 2 for $9.99. 3 games for under $35 is a nice day!

[hohndog]

Ok, just got back from CC and walked away with Thief for $18.49 after the Target coupon. The clerk initially told me they don't accept Target coupons. I told him they do, and that I've used competitor coupons there many times. He called over a Manager who punched in some sorta code and told the clerk to price match the coupon. Bingo. A little hassle at my CC, but in the end, I left smiling. :)

[JasonTerminator]

I did this on Thursday and it worked like a charm. The service desk is your best friend, people!

[Mishimaryu]

I snaged this one for 12 with the target rain check plus coupon.

[GSJaia]

My Circuit City (Paramus, NJ) just told me that they do not accept coupons from the competition.

[jtkauff]

Just got back from the Orem, UT CC and after not seeing Thief: DS on the shelf, was told that CC does not carry the game. I asked two different employees if they could look the game up in their system (they kept referring to a month-old printed list of game titles they carried), and both referred me to the website, saying they couldn't look up anything in their system but I could at home on the website. I ended up pawing through all of the Xbox games on the floor (which were nicely unorganized and had titles covering other titles), and gave up after looking for someone for 10 minutes to open the locked "new games" case, which seems to be more of an Xbox overflow than anything else, as nothing in said case was actually new.

In all the times that I've gone to CC in the last two or three years (in multiple regions of the country, too), I've never walked away happy. Every single time I've been given misinformation, they've been out of stock on an advetised item (right after the sale started), or I've had a horrible time finding assistance on a simple matter such as this.

YMMV indeed.

jt.

i just got back from the local CC and they were big dicks about the whole thing. keep in mind that ive used the $5 best buy coupon there numerous times.

the guy said that since target has it for $50 and itd be $35 after the coupon, i couldnt use it at CC since thats what its already set at.

why in the hell wouldnt i just buy it at target if i wanted it for $35?

i hate that place

In all the times that I've gone to CC in the last two or three years (in multiple regions of the country, too), I've never walked away happy. Every single time I've been given misinformation, they've been out of stock on an advetised item (right after the sale started), or I've had a horrible time finding assistance on a simple matter such as this.

YMMV indeed.

yeah, i fukking hate them too. ever since they screwed me on a $100 mail-in-rebate, the only time i shop there is if i can screw them back (like this deal). i'm very happy that i got alot more people to screw them over b/c of this thread! \:D/

The first time I asked CC if they took competitor's coupons, I think I got the store manager (or one of the managers). He asked to see the coupon and then said "sure" before walking off. It didn't seem like a big deal to him, as he didn't have to instruct a cashier on what to do or anything. I left to get Mario Golf off of the shelves and returned to the customer service desk. I handed the person behind the counter the BB GGC coupon, and her rejected it, despite standing right next to the manager I asked just moments before. I had to remind him "Hey, the guy I was talking to a moment ago said you took these..." Then, everything went through fine.

When I went in this afternoon for Thief, I just asked "Do you still take competitor's coupons?" And, the girl at the register nodded and pushed everything through for me for $18.49. She had to type in a lot of crap to get it done, though. That's probably why so many people on here get stonewalled.

I went to Circuit City today and had success using the coupon. The manager on duty said they don't usually take other store coupons but I guess she made an exception for me.

[Dustin Echoes]

Worked for me today, no problems! Came to 18.50

[Strider Turbulence]

Mine should have been at that price too I think but I didn't remind them about the 10% PM. I was kinda glad they took the coupon and PM a bunch of $4.99 Best Buy games to risk pissing them off.

[s0undwav3]

Umm my Circuit City in Fairfax, VA takes competitor coupons and I got this game for $19.99, all I had to do was ask the store manager and tell him that Target was out of stock and I would have just bought it there. He took it without hesitation. My circuit city also accepts the Best Buy Gamer Card every time. It's soo good to live near a good CC. This was also one of those where I could pick up soo many .01 games - especially the Clone Wars/Tetris Worlds bundle that I sold on ebay (15 copies) each over $25 bucks.

I'll try it next week I done bought 4 this week :?

[hosewater2]

What are the odds CC will even have this in stock? Maybe its just my store but anytime a game is on ad they are guaranteed (i.e. 100% of the time) out of stock. And I don't do raincheques.

Just left Circuit City here in Tulsa, OK 10 minutes ago and they would NOT take the coupon. Had them ask the manager and he said no, and they never have.

For those that had it work, good for you, but it will not work for everyone. Worth a try I guess. But I would call before I drive over there.

[crawlingpeter]

wait, you can still get it for $20 this week too? i thought CC only had the $5 off last week.. ?

[Josef]

You can probably get it got $24.99 this week. Still not a bad deal. I believe the coupon expires June 20th.

[tenzor]

how much is theif 3 now at CC before using the coupon?

[optimolife]

39.99

[Arrogant Blu]

I tried at my CC (Southlake,GA) and the buttfaces wouldn't honor the coupon. They couldn't get past the fact that it had been printed. I first went to the service desk and the lady kept saying that I must have photocopied the coupon since it was not on "Coupon Paper". I tried to explain to her that the coupon was on the internet and had to be printed. She refused to let me use it so, I went to another guy who was just walking around. I asked him if would do it, he said he had no problem doing it, but he had to check with his boss. Turns out that he ends up talking to the same lady and she once again refuses. He said that he would do it, but he'd get in trouble with her. He said it was stupid for them not to take since the game was going to be cheap in a little while anyway. If you know any other places that sell the game for cheap and will take the coupon please tell me.

[epsilonomega]

Sweet deal, I'll pick it sometime this week.

[jousley]

Picked mine up last week from the CC store in Eastgate Ohio. The lady that rung me up was nice enough, but she wouldnt take the coupon off the sale price of $34.99...but she DID accept the $15 off coupon against the normal price of $39.99 and gave me the extra 10% off so it came up to like $23 something. I was going to argue a bit more about it, but figured it was still a great deal and to drive to the next nearest CC store would have cost me the difference in gas.
