Dear Fellow Mastodons,

Please give me your honest opinions regarding your perception of what's being offered here.

Apparently I misunderstood the offer & was treated like an idiot when I questioned it. https://mastodon.network/media/7ZNaxMUd6E5nSSylZok https://mastodon.network/media/DeA-iPRoX-SBCmHwMF0 https://mastodon.network/media/iyGMMPZwo3TwX9E-_v4

@Euphoria I don't think it's worded very well. The actual sales page could be interpreted as spend $20 and get $40 credit PLUS a bunch of flowers like the ones in the picture.
They should have said 'get $40 credit so you can send a nicer bunch of flowers'

Thank you so much for your feedback!

Do you think the flowers are to be purchased right there at the BoingBoing site, or elsewhere?

@Euphoria From the screenshots it looked like BoingBoing - there was nothing to really suggest that it was elsewhere.

Thank you very much! I just wanted some confirmation that I'm not as stupid as the first feedback I received from "Support Heroes" suggested I was with "There should not be any misleading statements/ads because the title itself is clear that it is a $20 coupon code for $40 off of the vendor's site. Please see below for your reference:" which showed me instructions I had misinterpreted to mean I would be buying discounted flowers then & there
I wrote back explaining why I was confused
