A Quill.com coupon was cut loose on SD.net. I killed the coupon ($100 off $200) within 2 posts of the original. The thread went up to 33 pages of people trying to say "DON'T CALL". LOL ... no orders got through.
I was praised for saving the company an estimated $500,000.
h:
The original intent of the coupon was a bad marketing attempt to draw in a specific segment of customers. (high profile accounts) The coupon got posted and the carnage ensued.

Instead of Quill accepting the order ...
- Shipping some
- Having to email countless others saying that "it's our bad".
- Having teams of people manually rework thousands of web orders
- Trashing our BizRate numbers
It'll show online "coupon not valid". The end.

Absolutely. It takes me 3 minutes to tunnel into the office from home. By deactivating a bad coupon, I can save an entire building's amount of grief.

So technically, all that surfing for deals isn't only for your benefit
You should get a compensation for that

One of my side duties is .com support. The thing is, nuking a coupon saved so much money that people don't complain about me being on SD.net. They always come to me now if something is ordered in too high of a quantity, or if there's a weird order anomaly happening.
