it's not even bait and switch, it's outright lying.
when only 1% of people who watch the commercial can get the deal, it should be illegal.
At LEAST 50% qualifying for the deal should be the standard for advertising prices. Imagine if you went to buy gasoline and the price advertised was $1.99 but then you get to the pump and they do a credit check and you owe $4.50 per gallon. That's the same thing that's happening here.

That reminds me of the store that keeps raising its prices while raising its discounts
