When something seems too good to be true - yes, unfortunately, it usually is.
I have vouchers for a wine club here in Singapore (Reserve Wine Club with my Platinum Amex) and they promise S$50 off your purchase providing you spend S$250 or more.
So I checked the price of Moet - yes I like a sparkling tipple or two. And when I bought 4 bottles applied my discount it worked out at a very nice S$59 per bottle. A bargain.
Or so I thought...
Nowhere does it say I can only buy certain types of wine. But then I get an email from the Sales Department stating that the coupons are not valid for this type of purchase. WTF?
Read the small print - that's all I can say.
And did the company in question (Rubicon Wines) honour my purchase?
Did they hell...!
I feel another boycott coming on. How dare they make me pay full price for Moet - it's not that bloody good.
Now Bollinger?! Now that would have been fair.
Don't you all agree?
