They always say. “You WILL regret this. We’re not being funny.”
And after the last few, I’m coming around to believing them.
Maybe I’m wrong, I’ve never been in retail, especially not as a honcho, but I don’t forsee the 6 coupons for use over the rest of a yesr and a half to entice those who have been dropping like flies from the membrrship because (they say) they havent been buying enough things anywsy.
@troy Ahem. Assuming that one is foolhardy enough to purchase three unique Mehrathon items as required, and receives the six coupons at some point, can those coupons all get applied to one purchase later, or are they “one $5 coupon per purchase”? (I ask because I seem to recall that this was a thing once before.)
To clarify, because we always seem to end up with somebody who doesn’t immediately grasp the details:
Only purchases made from the Meh dot com site during the Mehrathon can count toward the IRK coupons-as-regret-reduction deal. Purchases on SideDeal, Morningsave, Casemates, and Hammacher-Schlemmer do not count.
If you buy an IRK and also make one Meh purchase during the Mehrathon, you will eventually get $0 in e-coupons to spend on Meh or SideDeal, because the deal this time requires three unique item purchases.
If you buy an IRK and also make two purchases from two different sale listings during the Mehrathon, you will eventually get $0 in e-coupons to spend on Meh or SideDeal, because the deal this time requires three unique item purchases.
About that “Unique Item” requirement: the three purchases must be from three different sale listings on the Meh dot com site. (Thus the “unique item” notations above.) By way of example, buying two different items from the same sale listing (like one pack of blue socks at 2:07AM and one pack of green socks from the same listing but bought at 8:43AM) only counts as one unique item for refund purposes. (“Unique” has a meh-unique meaning here.) You need a total of three purchases made from three different listings during the 'Thon in order to qualify for the coupons-as-amelioration-of-expense AT ALL.
Continuing on…
If you buy an IRK and also make three unique-item-by-the-Meh-rules purchases from three different sale listings during the Mehrathon, you will eventually get an email containing six unique-to-you $5 e-coupons that you can use to receive $5 off the price of purchase of other merch on Meh or SideDeal. This is not guaranteed to reduce your regret at having bought an IRK. (In fact, the regret is the only guarantee.)
If you buy an IRK and also make four or more unique item purchases from four or more different sale listings during the Mehrathon, you will eventually get an email containing six unique-to-you $5 e-coupons that you can use against purchases of other merch on Meh or SideDeal. Glutton for punishment, much?
If you buy an IRK and also make one purchase from each and every different sale listing during the Mehrathon, you will eventually get an email containing six unique-to-you $5 e-coupons that you can use against purchases of other merch on Meh or SideDeal, and at least one staffer will point and giggle at the list.
If you do not buy an IRK but you make one, two, three or more purchases from different sale listings during the Mehrathon, you will eventually get $0 in e-coupons to spend on Meh or SideDeal, and you will totally miss out on the opportunity to experience the genuine Regret™ that only comes from buying an IRK.
Items available during the Mehrathon but purchased before the 'Thon began or after it ends do not count toward an IRK refund. Sorry, any “oh, shit, can I cancel this thing I bought yesterday and rebuy it today during the 'Thon to get the IRK discount?” CS requests will get a sneer of derision (privately) and a polite response of “no.”
Hope that helps. (Powers that be, feel free to edit any errors.)

@LJeAYsy4LoqxEC Here’s the image you requested for “coupons made of regret”
So, does buying the IRK generate 10% cash back in the form of “stores cash” for members/VMPs?

@werehatrack Yep – we don’t allow coupon stacking, so you can only use one $5 coupon per purchase
And now, as usual…
