So...... A local sports team is having an online holiday sale.

Go to the webpage, and it pops up a virtual "discount wheel". Enter your email address and spin. Sure, fine, whatever, you'll need an email for me to order anyway.

Spin, and see "10% off order of $50 or more." Okay, that's fine, I was probably going to spend about that.

But it's as a "coupon code to enter during checkout."

The code?

20WHEEL10.

Hrm...

In the graphic, I see another item "$25 credit on orders of $75 or more."

Increase my cart to $75, try "20WHEEL25" - oh, look, I now have $25 off.

Open main page on different browser to avoid cookies, spin, and get "50% off orders of $99 or more."

Increase to $99, "20WHEEL50" - yup, 50% off.

But the last "good result" wheel option is.... "$75 credit on orders of $100 or more."

Add $1.

"20WHEEL75"

Yep, $75 off.

Checked a bunch of other numbers on the end, but $75 or 50% are the best.

Although there is a $20 with no minimum.....

Aaaand apparently I can place multiple orders with different codes...

And they have "free local pickup" as an option, so I wouldn't even have to pay shipping.

Oh dear...

Do I want to bankrupt my local team? (Or risk my one already-placed order with things I actually want getting cancelled due to abusing the system?)
