Stuck in a savings squeeze after spotting a coupon glitch
The store's website let me apply the same discount twice by accident. It cut my bill in half, but it doesn't seem right. Do I tell them or just take the win?

Calling it a glitch might be giving the website too much credit. Stores usually fix those mistakes before shipping, so you might just get a cancel email. Even if it goes through, they could charge you later or ban your account. Taking the discount without saying anything might feel good now, but it often comes back to bite you. Not much of a win if you have to explain it to customer service next week.

What if they just ban your account later?

My account's been active for like eight years through all kinds of promo codes... never had a ban. Brian_smith6, they usually just cancel the order if it's a real problem. A full account ban over one messed up price seems like a huge overreaction for any big company trying to keep customers.
