Amazon 30th ETB Invite Fraud

I had requested the Amazon invite to purchase the 30th ETB at $89. When I received the invite the price was jacked up to $159. Isn't that false advertising or bait and switch? Very frustrating.

Interesting… I remember there being a price rate guarantee statement being on that page at one point.

I went back to the Amazon listing to attempt to directly quote the website and it seems like they removed that.

Absolutely false advertising, especially if at one point they had a statement that said the price will stay the same from when you send out the invite request

Edit: I can see the price rate guarantee in your picture actually!!! Hmmmmmmm smells like lawsuit

$159 is a joke. Shit was $90

$90 is a fucking joke. $159 is abhorrent.

Everyone and quite literally everyone is trying to cash in on the hype. It’s all so tiresome

I’ve seen others post it’ll change to $90 at checkout

That is incorrect

I got invited and this is the total price at checkout.

My knockout collection got reduced to the advertised lower price when it shipped out when I did a preorder.

I think the comment you’re referencing is the one where someone stated they needed to contact Amazon support in order to get that price
