I was reading about a deal recently where people who sign up for A Costco membership could get about $50 worth of coupons which would essentially make the membership almost free of charge. However, for people who are already a member or are looking for renewal deals they would be out of luck. To get around this, since the deal is simply tied to a person and not an address people would simply sign up for a new membership with a different member of the household and allowing their current membership to expire.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s almost like going to the supermarket with the family and having multiple people purchasing limited quantity items where each person goes to different checkout lines as if they are a different household customer. The thing I was reading was how some people feel that is wrong whereas others just see it as a way to save more money. What would you say in this case?<\/p>\n
Obviously it goes against the intention of what the company is trying to enforce. But I suppose a lot of people do have the mentality where it\u2019s not hurting anyone per se.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
