KB-Toys will offer a 30% discount for any purchases over $30.00 between October 8-14th. In case you are wondering, this discount came from a court settlement with KB-Toys.
Link Here
---------------
Defendants will distribute the Net Settlement Fund by providing a discount at the cash registers of all KB Toys, KB Toy Works, KB Toy Outlet, Toy Liquidator and KB Toys Express stores nationwide, including Guam and Puerto Rico, equal to 30% off all qualifying purchases of $30 or more during October 8-14, 2003. This distribution (the "In-store Distribution") will be done without requiring a request of any store customer and will be separate and apart from, and in addition to, any previously planned promotional events for 2003. Defendants will not advertise or otherwise promote the distribution in advance of the In-store Distribution. Signs detailing the terms of the In-store Distribution, however, may be displayed in or around the stores during the In-store Distribution and up to 48 hours in advance of the In-store Distribution.
If the total amount of discounts received by customers during the In-store Distribution is less than the amount of the Net Settlement Fund, Defendants will make an in-kind donation of toys, valued at Defendants' then regular retail price for such toys, in an amount equal to the remainder of the Net Settlement Fund (the "In-kind Donation Amount"). The donation, if any, will be to no more than four nationally recognized charities mutually agreed upon by Plaintiff and Defendants and will be made prior to December 31, 2003. Defendants will pay the cost of delivering the donated toys to no more than four locations. Defendants shall not be required to make more than one delivery to each location. The cost of delivering the toys will be separate and apart from the Settlement Fund.

I didn't read the entire thing. The note is for people who bought from one of those stores
"during the last five years, for which both a current purchase price and a higher comparative or "reference" price were displayed for the product."
I guess some people got screwed by misrepresentation of price. Only these people can buy at 30% discount and not everyone? Apparently not.

If I had lost money at a store somehow, I'd just want the money back. It sounds like 'b.s.' to have to spend more money in order to get a 30% discount. In theory a minority group of people could buy enough goods to equal the settlement amount in discounts, and the majority of other victims wouldn't get any money as a result of the law suit. Shouldn't they comp all the victims appropriately, rather than disproportionately comp those that rush to spend more money at KB first, and not comp the rest.
