eBags Gripe

so here's the deal. i signed up for one of those "do surveys to earn money" deals a while back. i recently got an email notifying me that some of my $90 that i had earned was going to expire so i'd better redeem it. rather than paying you cash, you have a number of gift card/coupon/discount offers to choose from. needing a new "nice" bag for school (i.e., north face backpack isn't quite stylish enough for me to bring to class too much longer), i figured i would go with the $75.00 ebags.com voucher. only after i selected this option did i notice the caveat - $75 off a $200 purchase. doh! so, i poked around the website and found some things that got me to $200 (harder than it sounds even with a $100 business case in the mix). i thought - hey bonus - everything is an extra 20% off. So, thinking that it would be approx $200 - $75, plus shipping, i figure my total will be somewhere in the $140 range. right?

wrong. apparently the $75 can't be combined with the 20% discount, so it was still going to cost me close to $200. Ugh! Not sure how to proceed. I suppose the best solution is to not do anything, but i hate giving up my $75, especially when i do need a new bag. maybe i could take a few items out of my shopping cart and see what happens. grr. i hate stupid fine print stuff like that. i could've gotten subscriptions to Maxim AND Computer shopper AND Shape AND a free year of the Blockbuster improved membership. Who knows that the fine print on those is, though!
