No PS discount for WF anymore?

[AprilBaby]

They told my son they are a preferred vendor so no more discount. Too bad, now he is going to buy at James Allen.

What does that mean?..

Would a PS discount make the price equivalent?

Frankly I don't think true H&A are worth the 5-10% premium, but if the price difference were only about $100-200 I'd sure go for it. Factor in upgrade policies and it's a no brainer for me.

I do think JA is the best for finding great diamonds that don't carry the curated premium.

It's an emerald cut so JA has the better selection. He was going to have WF get it In from them and it would be a bit cheaper. The upgrade is better too but whatever? He is going JA, they will be a bit less with a PS discount. Too bad they lost the sale.

No idea? Can you tell me?

As of May 21, 2014, all vendors have been asked not to offer any "Pricescope Discounts". This is explained in the following thread, the relevant part of which is excerpted below:

Update: 5-21-2014

Dear Pricescope Community ,

After careful consideration we have asked all vendors to discontinue using the term “Pricescope Discount.” While we certainly appreciate the spirit in which it has been offered, the trend of cookie-tracking for pay has brought with it the wrong perception about monetization and “kickbacks” to Pricescope.

PriceScope and it’s community are very important to us and therefore we feel these steps are necessary to protect and prevent such misunderstandings.

Thank you everyone for bringing this to our attention and for your understanding.

What bothers me is that at the first mention of "kickbacks" PS has them stop? That feed the conspiracy theories more than a denial and letting it continue.

All I see is that they're asking the vendors to stop using the term "pricescope discount". It's up to each vendor to determine what to call their "discount" now.

True, I was just responding to the question in OP's topic ("No PS Discount for WF anymore?").

If WF decided not to give any discounts based on what PS posted in that thread.. well.. SMH

I mean they could of explained to Aprilbaby's son that they no longer offer a PS discount, but if he signs up for their mailing list he can get _% off a stone.. Or something to that effect. Meaning, get creative and offer a different initiative..

Using that as an excuse.. ugh..

What do the experts think of this reserved diamond? It fits the parameters as far as I can see for an emerald cut of table 60-65%, depth 60-65. Can't find angles?

To be clear, (someone correct me if I'm wrong) but there is technically no more "PS discount" at any vendor, including James Allen.

Ask nicely and maybe JA and/or WF will give you a special quote. Just need to keep it
