UNABLE TO USE DISCOUNT CODE AND REDEEM BIRTHDAY GIFT, EVEN THOUGH THEY ARE COMBINABLE.
This was a frustrating experience. I had a teacher discount code, and I also had a birthday reward I was eligible to redeem. Normally, I know you can't combine or stack offers and discounts, but in the email I received on Sunday reminding me to claim my birthday reward, it specifically said "this offer is combinable with other offer codes". I met all the other eligibility to redeem the birthday reward. I had over $45 in my cart, it was within 30 days of my birthday, I was signed into my account, however, when I went to My Rewards to redeem it, it would not let me click on redeem. I even removed the discount code and then tried again and it still wouldn't give me the option to click on Redeem for the gift. I began a chat with customer service. The agent told me the offers were not stackable or combinable, so I explained - and also sent a screenshot of the email - that it says it IS combinable. She looked into it, said the birthday code wasn't working, and if i place the order and give her the order number, she would then ship out the birthday gift separately. But she said she could not do that if I ordered using the teacher discount because they were not combinable. Even though I it said they are, and I sent a screenshot of the email saying as much. She wasn't sure why it was doing that, but she said that was the problem and apologized for the confusion. I feel that isn't "confusion", but more along the lines of false or misleading advertisement, so instead of ordering without the discount, and having her ship the birthday gift, I just placed it with the discount and might try later to redeem the birthday gift. It clearly stated they were combinable and I WAS able to redeem my points for a free item (but not the birthday reward), and also use that discount code. I realized it would let me do that after I had disconnected from the chat, so I was unable to tell the agent that. I'm fairly certain it's a glitch in their website, but it's very frustrating. The stuff is way too expensive to not use every type of discount you have when you can - ESPECIALLY when it says they ARE combinable.
