No one already in TV is going to begrudge new comers from saving any amount of money.

And who cares how many posts per day she makes. You think she's making money on it somehow? Go read her other 4500 posts and tell me one time where PT wasn't caring or didn't try to help someone else etc. She's a great TOTVer and even more impressive when you get to know her in person.

PLEASE!
I started this thread to alert those that were building or thinking about building to a 4% discount if they did it North of 466A, and before September 30. It helped those it was intended for and I'm happy for my effort. Bless them for their savings, period.

Those are my words, and these are her's ( you only showed part of her quote )

Think about it. How many stores to do go to where you have to walk through a maze of impulse-item displays before you get to the check-out register. Grocery stores have always had impulse items at checkout, but now stores have a literal maze of items you have to walk through to check out.

Needing an appointment with the Design Center to get the 4 percent discount is like that too. Look at and discuss with our professionals every single upgrade available for your home and you'll get a four percent discount. I wonder how many people who make those appointments with the Design Center leave spending more rather than less than they expected before they got their discount.

I'm not knocking it. It's good marketing. And you are getting somethign of value for your money.

But understanding the game before you go in could save you some dough.

I'm just saying.

Now I wonder if she had posted the original thread first if she would have included that statement that some may have been confused by. I think I put out a good post that helped folks, and I will never have 4500 posts on here because I get out some and enjoy TV.
