How were they defrauded? Yes, I know that technically it's supposed to be 1 coupon per customer. And you aren't supposed to know what the percentage off is going to be. But a company that size calculates their sales promotions based on what the total discount given is going to approximately be. If the final number is acceptable, they continue doing similar promotions. If it isn't, they do different ones that they can afford. I doubt these transactions were a make it or break it point for B & N.

I'm sure you didn't mean it this way, but it sounds to me like you're saying that big corporations like B&N expect certain fraud and so it doesn't really matter in the scheme of things. But that's dangerously close to the justifications I have heard about shoplifting (it's expected and built into the cost of running a business, etc etc). It's a slippery slope IMO...

I feel like giving up the rat race and just becoming a handsome millionaire.
