Topic Wiki

This thread is to discuss whether people feel that something is unethical, not to find out what the law*/T&C says.

Any Halachic questions should be posted here.

*According to CountValentine this includes religion, but unfortunately for him, the general consensus is that religion will always be entwined in this thread.

*Hint* If you have to ask, It's most likely not ethical.

Not sure where to post it.
Maybe in the "Is It Ethical" thread or in the "Is It a Good Trick" thread.
Asked to be refunded E+ seat upgrades on a canceled UA ticket, did online and over the phone and got'em twice.
I didnt intend on doing that, was just calling them to speed up the refund.

this one is actually a basis for allot of these unethical tricks where a phone + an email etc. ends you up with double the credit/refund/reimbursement.....

your ethics may vary

Best Buy sent out an email to certain costumers offering them $50 of off $100 if they use a mc.  someone spreads the coupon all over the internet  and clearly it will work in the store if you try.  Ethical to use it?

obviously they goofed by not making unique coupon codes but it was pretty clear as the day progressed that they had intended for it to only be good for certain customers and not others.

I won a dispute with card cash over a gc purchase (gotta love amex).

Do you think the gc is still active? If it is, is it ethical to use it?

If you fight it on the grounds you did not park illegally I would say that is unethical. The ticket is required to be filled out correctly and I see no problem challenging that.

Update: I fought the ticket, did not say that I was parked legally, just requested the the violation be dismissed based on the inaccurate info on the ticket. I got my answer by email: not-guilty.
