Then I want to redeem some of those points to get my free gift. 25 Star Points is equal to $10 right, up to a limit of $100 per purchase per customer. Next I have this coupon. It gives me 20% on two toys. However the expiry date is today's date. Does that mean I can still use it today, or does that mean that yesterday was the last day for using it? Also, I understand that Citigroup credit cards entitle me to a discount of 10% on all Barbie toys this month, so could you give me the 10% on that Barbie doll. Do you give me 10% discount on the Barbie doll, and another 20% off the discounted price because of the voucher, or do you give me 10 + 20 = 30% discount on the original price?"
Etc.
