1 - they dont have to do specials. They do however tend to produce sales

2 - lots of products dont go on sale, so by offering the code - it allows buyers to pick their own sale

3 - not every weekend has sales, typically holiday weekends you'll see more of the coupon codes

I haven't got a coupon code for like 4 months. Where, when and how do you get them. I am subscribed to their newsletter but I don't seem to get it, ever.

I've always subscribed through the website. I would assume if you get the weekend sales notices you'd of gotten the email with the code:

FYI:

Take 20 off a 275 purchase - Good till April 6: EASTER2010

What a terrible way to respond to customer loyalty, followed up by unnecessary business rationale for having sales.

edit: just saw the code was posted. thanks for helping fish.

After going through my emails Discount codes were emailed to users on:
4/2/10 (20 off 275 order)
12/11/09 (10 off)

I also know of two other codes that were issued, and I'm sure there were more.

Not sure what you edited in your post or not. But I took the first post as semi condescending as they were expecting a special, which is why I posted what I did. Dont get me wrong I look forward to weekend specials, but I dont expect them and given this was a holiday week and we didnt get a wednesday special I figured there might be a big weekend sale, but I didnt see one. With baseball picking up, I would expect they've been pretty busy with wax sales, and now with pack sales I expect them to be even busier.

I guess it was a matter of interpretation, I saw it as a customer hoping for something, with the obvious intentions of spending, and simply wondering why the deviation from the norm. From a business perspective, it's a much better business practice to give the benefit of the doubt to the customer, not assume they're being condescending, especially when their obvious intentions are to purchase from you.

What I edited from my post was that it would much more productive if you just post the darn code instead of being rude to a customer. But since you posted the codes, I removed that part of the post.

Just calling it as I see it.

If you get the emails from them they do have a special but no specific box specials. I think it is $20.00 off a purchase of over $275.00. Discount Code is EASTER2010.
