[quote name='bloodwings']I'm surprised they let you. The point of offering a gift card is so you come back to the store and make more purchases. Why else would they offer a gift card instead of just putting the Xbox on sale for $99?[/QUOTE]
I agree 100% and I know that it's a common practice with FS (Like the $10-20 gaming credits you'll get on certain games some times) and I felt like an asshole pressing the issue. That being said, if you look at www.twitter.com/fs_gamer they're advertising it specifically.
That's pretty much the only reason he did it, but like I said, the manager was really pissed at me. It's like he had to give me the $100 out of his own pocket. The customer service girl was incredibly helpful though, and handled the entire situation like a pro. She was so friendly in fact, that even after they agreed to honour the deal, I almost told her to forget about it and just give me the credit card, but it was a gift and I'm pretty broke so..
