How did I get a good discount

In this post I will tell you how due to an oversight of the programmers of the company, I received an excellent discount on classes at a well-known site.

Once again, I thought about the need to learn the language, and I even came across a megapost of Puzzle English. Gathered information from friends - people like it. I decided to try it myself. Fortunately there are free classes.

Since I was all arranged, I decided to pay a subscription. I remembered that the company had a blog on Habré, where they gave discounts nice bonuses and discounts. I found the last post, clicked on the promo link and was happy with the inscription:

In addition, there was a “Spring Sale”. And although usually, the shares are not cumulative, in total, it shows me the amount minus 700 rubles:



I paid, was glad of such generosity and successfully went to study. I go to the main page and see the message:



My coupon has not disappeared and I can continue to pay for goods with a double discount. If interested, the button leads to a link: puzzle-english.com/buy , which is redirected to a link with a discount: puzzle-english.com/spring_sale , where the price to be paid is always 700 rubles less. I couldn't do anything about it. I bought myself the next course, again moved to the cart and again there is a discount price.

It turned out even an absurd situation - I could choose a product for -201 ruble:



Unfortunately, the payment does not give, gives an error message and 201 rubles to the card is not received. Although it would be quite convenient.

I checked the work of the coupon on a new account - I registered, activated the coupon, the amount is shown minus the coupon. Since the site has the ability to buy gift certificates, I could buy them for a fairly large amount and sell quietly somewhere. For example, “Training words” without a promotion costs 1490 rubles, and with all discounts - 45.

What is the moral? When laying out a coupon somewhere, do not forget to limit the time of its validity and the number of uses for one user (of course, indicate this in a note). Do not forget to check if discounts should not be summed up.

Well, it is worth hiding technical links that are easy to get into (I did not completely copy the word gift).

PS: I transferred all the information to the technical support service. I hope, while moderation will pass, they will eliminate the defects in the work of the coupon. I do not publish the link to the coupon, because they can replace the link in the article, and not correct the work of the current link.
