What product on a commercial isn't a BOGO? They say the second is free for separate shipping and handling.

 

This guy is making a product in America keeping people employed I say good for him.

As much as I dislike the MY PILLOW product, it appears he didn't grease the right palms, donate to campaign's and pay to play.

 

Of all the stuff is sold  and things that are truely dangerous and  inappropriate this seems frivolous.

How stupid were these clowns? You cannot promote deals that do not exist. I have no sympathy for those who play games in advertising to consumers.

I think the BBB has a point.  If the offer is always BOGO then it's not really BOGO.

And I've never seen a My Pillow commercial that wasn't BOGO even though you apparently need to use the code offered.  There is always a BOGO code offered so that's always the price for two pillows. That is misleading advertising.

How many shoe stores advertise always BOGO. Do all of their adds say if not of equal value you pay for the most expensive.  Did they ever get in trouble.   It seems that big business is going after !Ittle business when they appear to entering the competition arena.  Some people do not want the little businesses to succeed.

 

Our BBB no longer carries the clout it used to.  Hasn't for some time.  Maybe the parent office feels the need to flex their muscles to show power and increase their budget.  IMO

"I just don't "get" all the controversary..."

The controversary (3 lawsuits) is over the "advertising" practices as well as the "false" claims made by Mike.  NOT in the quality of the pillows.  No complaints there.

@Gram W  I am not aware of any quite frankly.

When I bought my pillows, they were not BOGO, so it has not always been the case. This was at least 4 years ago.  By the way,  I hate them.
