Petsmart ticks me off

Brad on Shopping - Tue, May 13 2008

Yep, title says it all. I forgot to post this, but a couple of weeks ago Petsmart sends this "card" to Boomer for his birthday. Basically says, "Boomer you are 2 today! Come into Petsmart to recieve your gift!" Below in fine print it reads, "Must spend $15 for promotional to be valid. Gift cannot exceed $3." I just think it's sad that I had to spend money to recieve what was supposed to be a nice little birthday gift for Boomer. What a scam! I shake my finger at you, Petsmart....tisk tisk.

I got one in August for my kitty -- who passed away two years ago last February

That's awful. Petsmart probably laughs all the way to the bank.

I received the same kind of postcard last March for my birthday. But I think it said 20% off of purchase but had to spend a certain amount of money (I think it was $50? - can't remember). By the way Brad.. Love your new Avatar. Congrats!

None of my hairballs get b-day cards from them... Not sure if that's a good thing or not.

That's not a gift! That's just a coupon!

Same thing happened to me in March for Zoe's birthday. Used to get a coupon for a free toy up to $5 worth...this year only got the "coupon". Don't understand their reasoning... Oh well, don't shop there much anymore any way (except for grooming only because I love Zoe's groomer).

agreed! Plus, three dollars??? That just sucks, their prices are so high, you really can't get anything nice for 3 bucks! BTW...CONGRATS BRAD!!! Doesn't it feel great!

That's a big, corporate owned company for you.

That would be called a coupon.... We don't get anything from them for any of my hairballs. Not a bad thing, apparently.

Thats classic. I did sign up for the Petsmart discount card so I should be glad that they are not wasting paper sending me stuff like that. I only go there when I am looking for gift ideas for the cats- gotta keep my options/ideas for them open.
