Actually, Healthy Choice lost out on more than just the cost of the miles.

Canned Foods Grocery Outlets is a close-out store. They purchase product that manufacturers can't sell elsewhere, and when they do, they pay a fraction of the original wholesale cost. Typically manufacturers lose money on any product sold in the close-out arena, be it to Grocery Outlets or any other retailer in the secondary market. More often then not manufacturers don't allow retailers such as this to take coupons, for an obvious reason... they already lost money on it once.

They gave Pudding Guy 1.2 million miles for purchasing products they had already sold at a loss.

I think you can bet your bippy that there will be some restrictions on their next promotion, regardless of how much free publicity was generated by this.
