How would you interpret this ad?

[harbie]

London Drugs has a Philips electric shaver on sale for $179.99. There is a coupon in store that says:

Save $20 on the purchase of select Philips Shaver when you bring in your old electric shaver.

No where on the coupon even in the fine print does it say that it has to be another Philips shaver.

Do you think I could bring in any electric shaver? Would you press the issue if they refused?

I reeeeally want to get it cause I also have a $20.00 off from Smart Source and I would be able to stack.

Could I just take it to Zellers and price match?

What do you think?

UPDATE:

I just got back from LD and used both coupons and my dad's old braun shaver without any problems! I got the Artic shaver Reg $269.99 on sale for $199.99 plus 2X $20 coupons off .

I wouldn't really worry about it until you go to London Drugs and try it. Is there some reason you think they will only take Phillips shavers? They will probably take any shaver as they want you to use theirs.

the guy that gve me the coupon said something about it having to be a Philips shaver but I was walking away so I wasn't too sure. I guess I just want to know if I should push the point or just walk out? I want to make sure I don't look silly.

Zellers has all their electric shaver/razors on sale Saturday December 20th only for 1/2 price. You might get an even better deal there!

It couldn't hurt to take it in and ask and point out the discrepancy politely.

I understand the ad to be encouraging others to bring in ANY electric razor... they're encouraging you to switch to phillips, so I don't see why it'd have to be a phillips to begin with.
As another poster said, check out the Zellers sale first.. it may be even cheaper [and you can donate your old razor!]

I would interpret it as any shaver as well. If it is a typo on their behalf, it isn't really your fault, right? Good luck!

[mpbabes]

I interpret that to mean any electric shaver...I agree with what one poster said that they would probably be happy to get an eletric shaver from another company since it means they got you to switch brands.

[GottaLoveFreeebies]

I would say it means bring in whatever you have....they want you to buy their shaver so I am sure that they are not going to turn you away from buying their product if you bring ina different brand! Future Shop does this once in while - bring in your old tv and get $100 off. The tv does not even have to work! Worth a try if you think it is a good deal!

I missed the Zellers sale but am going to try LD and if they have a problem them I will got to Zellers to see if they will price match. It is a great price since it is normally $239.99 down to $179.99 with the $20.00 rebate PLUS I have a $20.00 coupon from Smart Source!

Now if the snow would just stop falling I would head out and get it!
