I'm neither mad, dissappointed nor sad about it. It's just like you said, a weird way to do things. Unlike maybe

Indeed a very good reason. Maybe the only right one to valid such an incentive.

Of course it was clear that a price drop was imminent. It was so since October. I am one of the people that used a discount code to purchase a Jolla so I didn't need the TOHKBD discount code anyway. But it is still a weird way of doing things.
