Nice little DOTD M18 chainsaw along with a M18 6.0 Jigh output. I'm sure this one will sell out quick

Not saying it's a good use of the word or that I wasn't confused either initially. Probably it was intentionally chosen to be confusing as clickbait (conspiracy theory)

A common usage of the word "hack" is to use something (especially a computer system) in a way that wasn't intended but is nonetheless useful to the hacker. Many, if not most "cyber hacks" involve the hacker noticing a flaw in a system that can be taken advantage of *in a way that wasn't intended*.
This "hack" literally fits that definition. HD probably didn't intend for the "free gift" promotional system to be used as an extra X% off discount. (I'm sure they're aware by now and it probably just doesn't happen enough to bother fixing.)
Point is, that this is absolutely a correct usage of the word hack, unless you want to stick to pre-19th century definitions.

because HomeDepot doesn't care about the discount and ability to return the "free" item doesn't make it a hack in any way... you're literally following the clearly printed instructions given to you by the vendor.

if somebody figures out how to get this to work with the bundled items (like the OP posted), where it's one line item on the receipt... then total agree, you've hacked apart the bundle and got a prorated refund for one of the items by way of a hack.

right before or during when the item is generally used is the worst time in my opinion... they know you need it, no reason to discount

You're missing my point. It's about whether or not it is used in the way or for the purpose intended. If HD had intended to make this act like a discount, it would've been a lot cheaper (logistically) for them to allow users to opt for an additional 5% off or whatever, and not waste a lot of money shipping items that will be returned or not picked up.
Any "free gift" system like this is going to have the problem of how you handle returns. HD did it in this way (for various good reasons I could guess at), which opened up the possibility for the system to be abused to get an extra discount *without any intention of keeping the item*. Using it in this way is non-obvious to many people and obviously not how it was intended to be used, so it's appropriately called a "hack".

are you serious dude..? it's a line item on the receipt, clear as day. it literally tells you the maximum return value of each item, both online and instore. it doesn't get much more obvious than that.
you can tell yourself whatever you'd like... but this is clearly using the system as it was intended and outlined to the consumer. no in any way a "hack".
also, this thread isn't even for returning the battery and keeping the saw... the OP never updated/added it, it's just for the DotD. my guess is the few downvotes are from people that are either upset it's not the 16'' bar or it doesn't have the 12Ah HO battery.

not sure you know what a shill is...

"...non-obvious to many people" - this is objectively true, demonstrated by the fact that people ask how the hack works, and are often confused, in every similar thread - including this one - so yes I'm serious. Obvious to you does not mean obvious to everyone.
Battery operated impact driver/wrench. Wut?? No thanks.
Battery operated reciprocating/jig saw. Wut?? No thanks.
Battery operated weedwacker. Wut?? No thanks.
Battery operated RC car. Wut?? No thanks.
Battery operated car/truck. Wut?? No thanks.
see how your comment gets real silly, real quick grandpa..?
for all day work, nope, obviously it's not going to replace a gas power chainsaw... but for jobs within the allotted time/scope, the good battery chainsaws are actually beasts these days. it'll be nice not to grab my 20'' 455 Rancher for small jobs.

yes, peoples inability to understand what they're reading makes things a hack... that's what you're going with now? so in no way circumventing the system, you're just telling people how to do something they don't understand?
yup, hacking the world over there... update that resume, Anonymous is probably looking for new members!!!
