Minneapolis, MN asked in Small Claims and Consumer Law for Minnesota

Q: false advertising or bait and switch?

I got a promo code from amazon for $100 off a monitor on a link they provided. There are 4 monitors shown but one of the monitors shown isn't one that promo actually works on because it isnt sold directly through amazon. Amazons model cost more and after the rebate is applied is only actually $77 off when compared to the price you would have gotten if you could have applied the code to the monitor that was shown in the promo link. Is there something actionable here?

A: Sounds like a lot of work for a potential $23 claim. Reach out to customer service?
