Ok this deal might sound a little complicated, but it's well worth the time. Right now Amazon is having a promotion on these Spiegelau wine glasses, and if you get one set of Spiegelau Authentis Collection Red Wine Glasses, you get the Spiegelau Authentis Collection White Wine Glasses for FREE. Basically, you pay $29.99 for a set of white and a set of red wine glasses. But wait, there's more on top of this. If you get TWO sets of each, so making up a total of four sets, the total is now over $99 before the special discount, and now you qualify for a $20 gift certificate since you spent more than $99 on tableware. Here's the math: $29.99 x 4 sets = $119.96 - $59.98 promotional discount - $20 gift certificate = $39.98 total for ALL FOUR SETS! Since now many of us are waiting for company dinners and gift exchanges and all that, this come out to be a great time, as you are basically paying $10 per set.

• Click here, scroll down to Best Value and click on Buy both and save to get one set of each for $29.99. AMAZON
• Then on the following screen, click on Edit shopping cart on the right, and change the quantity on each item from 1 to 2.
• Now click on Update in the middle of the page, and it should show up as:
  • Subtotal: $119.96
  • Additional Discounts & Promotions (Subtracted at checkout) $59.98
• Then just sit home and wait for your gift certificate to come in 4 to 6 weeks after the purchase, as long as you don't cancel or return any of the qualifying products! The subtotal is the one that counts, not the final price. Since our subtotal is over $99, the gift certificate should be fine.
