How does it work if you get $75 back and the battery costs $129 ?

How does it work that you can return a battery that was given to you for free?

What do you do or say when you return a battery?

Got this for 72 last time this had a hackable deal, this isn't bad but if you're not in a rush, I bet you could catch it down the line for a little more off.

They allocate a price for the vacuum and the battery. When you return one item, you are not required to return BOTH (Lowe's is like this i believe) but rather you return a single item of the promo deal and they refund the allocated price.

In this case, you pay $149+tax. They allocate $79.86 to the vacuum and $69.14 to the battery. If you return battery, you get the vacuum for $79.86+tax. Not sure where OP got $88 from -- disregard he included tax which you should not do when posting deals.

My bad, it's my first post. I figured people would look at the receipt photos I included and see it's with tax.
(Looking at the post right now, I don't see my receipt photos for some reason)

Lol I wasn't getting on you. Was just doing some math and noted my math didn't correlate. If others are like me, I don't look at any other pictures anyways. You did mention you included tax which is good enough -- i just didn't read that until I typed my message and tried to figure out why we weren't aligned. In general, you don't post after tax because it's so discretionary and everyone has a different tax rate.
