I received an e-mail from a friend telling me that Spanx was having a promotion and that you could order one of their$62.00 bra-llelugia bras for $4.95, the cost of shipping. It was a one day only special. That afternoon I ordered a bra. I sent the coupon code, laurieannbra, to my daughters, so that they could also order a bra. I went through the order, used the code and all was well. The next day I received an e-mail from Spanx thanking me for my order, however there had been a mistake and the coupon code was only to be used by the CEO of the company, Laurie Ann Goldman, for her personal use. So, my order was cancelled, but they would offer me 30% off on any of their products but it had to be used by a certain date, which was 1 week from that date. I then looked at my debit account and saw that the $4.95 had been debited from my account. I called Spanx and was given the same story about the CEO and that the money wasn't really deducted it was on "hold" and would be taken off hold if the order wasn't sent. <br />
This whole experience has been very disappointing and unbelievable that a company like Spanx would first of all use a code for the CEO to purchase bras and that the code would be negligently given out to the wrong people. I think it was a scam from the beginning and that they are trying to drum up business with their 30% off. I will not be buying anything from Spanx ever again.
