The fine print reads, “The Ultimate Black Friday and Cyber Monday Golf Bundle.  USE Code “BlackFriday” at Check Out.

What would you expect if you read that ad?  I was anticipating that it would be percentage discount on the purchase of the SQAIRZ golf shoes which advertise that the shoe will “improve your balance and stability while creating a ground force connection that increases torque, swing speed and distance.”

When one entered the discount code “BlackFriday” and check out, it shows the value of the deal at $0.00 as shown below:

Instead, if you bought the golf shoes at retail, you received “a golf hat, socks and a golf shoe bag?  These products I have no interest in or any need for.

I question whether that qualifies as the “The Ultimate Back Friday and Cyber Monday” deal.  Don’t know how this promotion strikes you, but for me, I felt I was mislead and hustled.  While I was inclined to buy the golf shoes, obviously, I passed.

What do you think?  Please comment below.  Really appreciate learning your perspective.
