Academy won't honor their own ad?? Mojo Hen 3-D decoy

[stxhunter]

So I've noticed on a couple of websites that Academy sponsors, they have an advertisement for a Mojo 3-D Hen decoy for $29.99. I decided to check it out, so I clicked the banner and intended to purchase the decoy. When I clicked the ad the Academy website actually shows $69.99. I called customer service and they said there's nothing they car really do about it. I'm curious as to why this ad is being run and the price isn't being honored. Has anyone else seen this ad or experienced a similar problem?

I would think the attorney general would find that to be a deceptive trade practice

Well they could be like Cabela's and advertise something and then recall it once it was already shipped and on it's way to you.

I had an issue once with Academy...their ad was misleading and when I contacted customer service...they basically called me a liar.

You can look up the executive officers on google finance. Snailmail letters and they bent over backwards to make me a happy customer. it worked. Not to be used in all situations...but, they really ticked me off.

Surprised they didn't help. Sure not being able to see the ad was part of the issue. If you email them that screenshot they might be able to do more about it.

Ask them if they will price match an add, and then show them their add.

I told them I could email them the screen shot, but they claimed they couldn't receive emails. Customer service claimed they escalated the situation, but there's hasn't been any resolution thus far.

Go in store and they should honor it

Try printing it out and using in stores.
