This guys looks like he could work for Microsoft, but I just don't see him being a Bombardier guys, so I better make sure."
And no, at that point, the jig is up. You've lost. You can't just switch to the Costco code. Either pay the walk-up rate or literally walk with your tail between your legs. There are so many legitimate ways to get a great rate, why bother taking a chance using a discount you're not authorized for?
Thanks, that is what I needed to hear. I am going to be paying about $50 more using a code I am authorized for but that is still better than paying hundreds more when they likely deny my code at the counter.
