Darkman124 03/09/18 10:07:19 PM #1:	@KILBOTz @The_Admiral @Asherlee10 @chill02 Story time. Back on black friday, I announced that LG was selling the best HDTV on the market at a greatly reduced price--the OLED65B7A was going for 2300. as i am a cheap person, that wasn't quite good enough for me. my wife's discovercard has a unique price protection policy, one that BEGS for (legal) abuse. they allow for price protection claims within 90 days...but accept online ads as evidence. Including from non-authorized sellers. I used this ad: http://www.tvsuperstores.com/LG_B7A_Series_OLED65B7A_-_65_OLED_Smart_TV_-_4K_UltraHD_998.html If you buy directly from this vendor, you dumb. But discover, after a lengthy investigation, running to the very end of its duration period, ultimately accepted the claim that they had a price $500 (or more) less than the black friday price from an authorized seller. Discover allows you to submit a price protection claim several times per year. Only once per item, obviously. This is completely legal. It feels wrong (who am I kidding? no it does not) but my check has been cut and is in the mail. You're welcome. --- And when the hourglass has run out, eternity asks you about only one thing: whether you have lived in despair or not. <cite>Darkman124 posted [p:897508558] in discoverca...
