I received a letter from GE today about purchasing new water filters. I haven’t had my fridge that long so it seems a bit extreme to want to change the filter out already, but two things caught my eye:

  • There’s a promo code to make it look like you’re getting a deal
  • The code expires in a month

Ultimately, you’re neither getting a deal, nor need to worry about time pressure to order something, because a quick glance at the Home Depot website shows the filter being sold for less than in the GE letter.

When I see discounts and expiring sales, I always assume they’re disingenuous sales tactics.
