Circuit City Excluding Whatever It Feels Like From $15 Coupon

Today I received a coupon in the mail from Circuit City inviting me to "save $15 on my next qualifying purchase of $100 or more*". I really wanted to pick up Guitar Hero 3 for the Wii and figured this would be a good time to do so. After tallying up a purchase of $110 on their website, when I tried to use the coupon I was told it was invalid. Confused, I called the 800 number to place the order assuming it was just a glitch with the website.
After getting my items added with the sales rep on the phone, when it was time to use the coupon I was again told that it was invalid - this time, however, I was a given a reason. The sales rep told me that the coupon was not good for video games or movies (I was ordering a game and the flight of the conchords DVD). I told the rep that the coupon stated neither video games OR movies as restrictions for use and he got a manager. Three managers and supervisors later, they wouldn't budge. Needless to say, I didn't make the purchase through them. I told them that I had previously worked in retail, knew that they had the power to manually take $15 off of my purchase if the coupon wouldn't go through, and would not be making my purchase unless they honored the coupon as it was stated in their own promotion.
