It's funny...at the Cineplex there's a Treats & Seats deal where you get 1000 Scene points along with the combo. So I get that for $25 and tell my wife, "See, we're getting this popcorn and drinks for $7 because the next movie for one of us is free!" (1000 Scene points translates to a free movie, which I use for IMAX 3D, thus negating the $18 cost.)
But then SHE tells me that the we're still spending $25, so either we're paying full price for the next movie, or we're paying for the popcorn and drinks. Either way, we're spending $25. It breaks my brain thinking about it, but she's right...I think.
It's kind of the same logic with your free statue, where any money you would have saved here is being spent now, so any money you save with your "free" statue later could've just been bought with part of the money used for this item! Like if this would've been $200 after taking $250 off with rewards points, then a future statue when you finally saved up another $250 in points to make $500 would still have been $250 as well as $250 worth of rewards points. I'm pretty sure in the end you're still spending the same amount, it just depends on where the discounts are being focused on!
Or I've just completely lost my mind!
