Legal Question in Consumer Law in Indiana

Is it all right to advertise something you then choose not to give? Harrahs advertises they give offers based upon rate of play. I stopped receiving offers last July and still do not receive any. Their first explanation was that my name was randomly drawn not to receive offers. The last communication ended with the representative screaming at me that they do not have to give anything regardless of what I read. He said I redeemed too many offers.

Generally, if there is no disclaimer or restrictions on the published advertisement, or if there are and you do not fit that description they generally must honor the advertisement. For example, Staples, Office Depot, Office MAx often offer a coupon for $10 off if $50 is purchased. However, they usually have a restriction, does not include tech items, computers . . . If they run out of the product, then they are required to provide a rain check, unless they stated limited supply available.
