It's a great sale and opportunity, however the pre-hype was misleading nonsense which makes the payoff disappointing.
Both these things can be true.

it's nice to have something off the price for one month. and yes, the price structure is nicer than the old 329 per course. but agreeing the PR for it seemed like something else could have been in the works. doesn't mean the discount is not appreciated.

Everyone doesn't know it was $79 for awhile. It's no longer that price. Unlike this forum, people on social media seem happy with the discount.

Sure sounds like the discount isn't appreciated by several people here. The fact that people are disappointed over a 25% sale says a lot about them.

Its a lesson in over promising and under delivering. Their marketing team should take note. If they just announced a 25% sale, everyone would be fine and happy with it.
Instead they acted like something groundbreaking was on the way.

Yeah, I was hoping for a Buy one month membership, get another month membership free!
I think that's a good deal, 50% off, since they previously had the HALFOFF coupon...Oh well.

I don't think it is. I think this was a joke based on how overhyped the 25% off coupon was. If you want marketing for a BSBA, you could contact an advisor about whether they'll accept this certificate on Coursera: https://www.acenet.edu/National-Guide/Pa...0d3a378a3a
