Link you posted is to the two items already together and wouldn't be eligible for return. Need to add from this link:

I am pretty sure this is not hackable it is a single purchase and must all be returned to get any money back. Did you actually do this?

Yeah, I did it. Once you add the 2 items, it adjusts the price to $99.50 each. Returned the batteries for $99.50 refund and kept the jigsaw for $99.50.

I did it with that link / tool because there are a few options to pair with the jigsaw. I only wanted the jigsaw and this option was the cheapest way to get it.

Um as someone else pointed out. You posted the wrong link. You posted a link to a bundle that is not hackable. The other poster posted the link to the hackable offer.
This is the link you posted. Not hackable

The other link is the exact same thing without the 2 batteries and charger already selected. That link allows you to choose what tool you'd like to pair with it. The link I posted was for the tool (batteries and charger) that brings the cost of the jigsaw down the most after returning the batteries and charger.

Okay show us your return receipt from that bundle then.
It would have to show on the receipt as two separate items.
That bundle is one item that comes with the batteries. A bundle.
Here is the SKU from the link you posted. 1010137645

No. If you buy from the link you posted. It will not be hackable. It's a bundle. All items will need to be returned. The other person posted the correct link that you add the second "gift" item. That should be the batteries that can be returned. Hence hackable.

When you follow that persons link, did you click "Buy One"? If you do, the next page it takes you to is the page I posted the link to

I agree with this. Back in August I made a very similar online purchase from Home Depot ("Milwaukee M18 FUEL 18-Volt Lithium-Ion Brushless Cordless Jig Saw with M18 5.0 Ah Battery") for $169.00.

I tried to return the battery and keep the jig saw, but the person on the service desk could not help. She was very willing to try, and even showed me the screen where she attempted to do the partial refund to prove that there was only a single item shown (i.e. Jig saw and battery) with no price breakdown.

I'm not disbelieving the OP's own experience, and maybe there was some trick I could or should have done when placing my order. But it would be helpful if "hackable" deals at HD posted here always included a copy of their receipt to show that their deal truly is hackable, and give details of exactly the steps they followed to get a partial refund. And if you didn't actually obtain a partial refund, make that clear in the post.

The bottom line is that "hackable" Home Depot deals are not always guaranteed to succeed.

It will work just fine if you do it with this link. It is two seperate items and will show as so on your reciept with the max refund showed for each item.

Right, fully understood. The general point I was trying to make is that there are ways to mess up a potentially hackable deal. That post is providing one of those ways, and does not accurately reflect what they actually did.

The verbiage in the OP is correct, and the link provided does show the jig saw that you get. So they are posting the truth, but it's not the whole truth. As you pointed out, they really need to be posting the link that allows someone to buy the batteries and charger in order to obtain the jig saw as a separate item, and leaving that link out is very highly misleading.

And of course, it they had shown their receipt it would have proved that they did not actually buy the item with the SKU shown in their link at all.

The real deal here. I'd stop reading posts after this as you'll just be reading the education of OP. OP could have just said, yes, that's the link, TY. Instead goes on to argue.
