I have a new order number and the summary says that I must pay by phone? The full amount? Oh well, I guess another phone call is in order.
The wonderful thing is they combined two of my orders... I had used two diff emails in order to utilize coupons... now the coupons have expired as well.
WHOAS US!

I like to justify my case on the board and not send hate e-mails. Others should follow suit.

This guy has had over 3 hours to put this order through. He said on the phone that he was doing right then. I can't believe how poorly their CSRs and supervisors have handled this. I even sent this guy a follow up email, and he has not responded to it yet. Guess I'll have to call again. I knew this would probably happen, I just had that feeling that it wasn't finished yet.

I was looking through my old emails trying to find a dell order number and came across this email. It shows that the flooz was spent at B&N, and also lists them as the contact about the order. This should help prove that the flooz was removed from the account, contrary to what they are saying.

Which wouldn't be the case if B & N didn't get Flooz right away on the transaction (like Tower and everyone else does). B & N is lying to us so that they don't lose so much money from their "Flooz" being just as worthless as the Flooz left in all our accounts.

If anyone happened to save the portion of the B&N help page talking about payment with flooz that was up prior to August 3, I'd love to get a copy.

OK, I just faxed the letter to the corporate headquarters of Barnesandnoble.com, Inc. in New York. We should hear within a couple of days.

But part of it is knowing what is the right kind of case. And this is the right kind of case.LBPound23 -- Thanks. With any luck, B&N will do the right thing and just come through on the orders like promised. But if they don't, this will be a decent case.

I called today, talked to the supervisor "Kimberly I'mnotallowedtogivemylastnamehereismyextension3728" and got absolutely nowhere. It started to actually get amusing at the end of the conversation, because she kept saying one thing and then in the very next sentence she would say she didn't say what she said.
