I don’t see what the big deal is.

If you don’t understand the concept of keeping one’s word I guess this wouldn’t make sense.
If they go broke and close stores down that’s not my fault, they should have done the financial and market research necessary to set the price point they set.

I just signed up for this deal a mere few weeks ago, if this came up after a year or 9 months I’d understand.
To push a deal aggressively and then change it a few weeks after they have hooked you in is just plain wrong and a bait & switch scam. A thorough market/financial forecast would include inflation.
They can change thier price, and do whatever the hell they want, they can declare bancrupt and use the company 401K and pension money to fund executive golden parachutes, they can raise the price every single month by $20 but non of that makes it right.

If we as consumers sit back and allow companies to pull this type of bait and switch crap while advertising false promises it won’t end.
I’m sure you’d have no problem with a mechanic agreeing to fix your car for $399 and then charging $499 for the same service when you come in to pick it up.

I for one will not allow myself to be an all day sucker and I’d like to warn others so they won’t be suckered in either.
It’s not communism it’s capitolism.

“If you don’t understand the concept of keeping one’s word I guess this wouldn’t make sense.”

If it was about “keeping one’s word” then it would make sense to me, but I don’t have to read the contract you signed to know that they reserve the right to change the price.

Now if they changed the price without notifying you, or charged you a different price than what you agreed to for services already performed, then I would agree with you.

Under these circumstances, I don’t see what the big deal is.
