Yup, and keeping me coming back to their store is a win-win for them. $70 in free merchandise, in the grand scheme of things, is not a big deal at all. Having loyal customers is the key.
On another note...
In reality, it was THEIR MISTAKE. I know others on the forums disagree with me and reason that we were taking advantage of the system and exploiting a flaw. However, I believe this will make BB a better retailer and pay closer attention to their online ads. They have made mistakes in the past, especially with the off-contract pricing of some of their phones as of late, but maybe that's because quality control is sub-par on the website front. When they have to pay for their mistakes, money speaks louder than words in this case.
Just my $0.02 on that.
