As we all did back then. Our first one was the Mardi Gras in 1980

Apparently none of you can math. Just FYI:

 

Buy one, get one 60% off = 30% off each guest

Buy one, get one 50% off = 25% off each guest

30% off each guest =Buy one, get one 60% off

25% off each guest = Buy one, get one 50% off

When it was Buy 1 Get Second guest 60% off :')

 

That would be 30% off.

You're the consumer and your choice is to not shop at RCI 😉

 

What is your point? Consumers have rights to not be misled. By allowing this to happen you are encouraging it to happen.

That would be true if both guests pay the same;  they almost never pay the same!  Any deductions/reductions/etc. come off the one that will be advantageous to Royal.

I think it would be better for the economy as a whole if companies would stop using these confusing, if not deceptive, pricing practices. Everyone is doing it now. I'm sure all of us have been bitten by it at one time or another--only to be referred to some fine print. The only thing it does is it makes us more reluctant to purchase anything big. It sows distrust. It ends up harming all companies--not just those that abuse the trust.

You do realize you are responding to a nearly 3-year-old post, right?

Took the poster 3 years to figure out. Must be a tough math question.
