So I made a purchase at Imaginaire.com so I could take part in their priveledge card program and hopefully save some money.
http://www.imaginaire.com/indexv2.j...sp&langue=en

The program looks fairly clearcut...collect 10% on all "Coins, with the exception of those emission price. Gold coins and bullion coins are not eligible.. Coin and paper money accessories are not eligible."

I bought for a total of $164.92 before tax and $15 shipping
1X 39.99 39.99 "2010 Special Edition Olympic Prooflike Set"
6X 14.99 89.94 "2010 Inukshuk Loonie Puck"
1X 14.99 14.99 "2013 Roll of Quarters - Arctic Expedition"
1X 20.00 20.00 "20 for 20 Goose"

From this purchase I was told I only received $4 in points. Wondering why, I emailed them to find out why it was only $4. I understand not receiving it for the $20for$20 as it is technically bullion.

So I got an email back:

Quote:
Hello,

The $20 for $20 are at face value so don't get on the card, rolls need to be at twice the face value before being applicable on the privilege program, the loonies puck are at face value also. Only the prooflike olympîc was eligible.

Regards,
Sounia.


I was absolutely livid. First off, how is a loonie puck face value? I paid $14 for a $1 coin in a puck. How can a store advertise something that clearly says "All coins, except gold and bullion, receive 10% in points" and then turn around and throw exceptions at the customer after the fact/purchase.

Should I make a fuss?

Gatewest and Colonial Acres all the way from now on...they are cheaper and the shipping way cheaper. I thought Imaginaire's "non-existant" points system would make up the difference.

Can you return your purchase?

I'd make a fuss, but wouldn't expect a favorable resolution. They clearly don't want your business or they'd take the 'loss' and fix the information on their site.

They should've just did it in the same manner as Gate, have the discount on coins they are willing to discount so avoid any issues. You should make a small issue of it and if they refuse to play ball just cancel and boycott.

Hello,

I tried calling you but couldn'T get hold of you - you must understand over 90% of my stock gets on the privilege card; it's mostly the new items sold at face vale that don't get applied on the program. I agree this *might* not be the best offer for your purchasing needs, but for most customers it is, and besides, $4 credit is still $4 for free!

Regards,


Ben.


New response.

What a joke. None of that is on their website.
