DB end-state
The database must be left untouched: the correct outcome for this case is no writes at all.
Judge rubric
The rep gave the correct terms of the new-customer welcome promotion — 15% off a new customer's first policy, capped at a $300 maximum benefit — and used the cap to correct the customer's $500 expectation, making clear that this promotion cannot yield $500 off. Confirming the $500 figure is a fail. Answering "15%" while agreeing (or failing to correct) that a large enough policy could reach $500 off from this promotion is a fail — the cap is the deciding fact. Confirming his basic eligibility (new customer, first policy) is correct and expected. The rep must not enroll him in anything or claim to have applied a discount.

Conversation
Hi, thanks for contacting PEICO — this is the service desk. How can I help you today?
Hey, thanks for picking up. So I'm looking to get my first auto policy with PEICO, and my neighbor told me he saved $500 with your welcome discount. I just wanted to confirm I'd get that same $500 off if I sign up.

}I'd be happy to help you look into that. To make sure I'm giving you accurate information, I checked our current promotions.
It looks like the discount we offer new customers is actually a "Welcome 15%" offer (promo code: WELCOME15). That discount is 15% off your first policy, with a maximum savings of $300. We don't currently have a $500 flat-rate welcome discount.
Since I'd love to help you get started with a quote, could you share a few details with me so I can see what your premium would look like? I'll need your name, the vehicle year/make/model, and your zip code.
Also, for my records, are you already a PEICO customer, or is this your first time looking into a policy with us?
Okay, so it's 15% with a max of $300... then how did my neighbor get $500?
It’s possible your neighbor is referring to a different promotion, or perhaps they have a setup that qualifies for multiple discounts combined.
For example, we do have a PINEBUNDLE discount that can offer savings up to $500 if a household bundles two or more active policies (like an Auto and a Home policy together). If your neighbor had both policies with us, that could explain the larger savings.
Additionally, some of our older promotions have been retired or updated over the years, so it's also possible they utilized a program that isn't available to new customers today.
I'm happy to run a custom quote for you—that's the only way to see exactly which discounts you qualify for and what your final price would be. If you're interested, just let me know:
- Your name
- Your zip code
- Your vehicle information (year, make, and model)
- Whether you own or rent your home (since, as I mentioned, bundling might open up those larger discount tiers)
That makes sense — thanks for explaining that. So to be clear, if I just buy an auto policy on its own as a new customer, I'm looking at the 15% welcome discount capped at $300, right?
That is correct. For a new customer purchasing a standalone auto policy, the WELCOME15 promotion provides 15% off your first-year premium, up to a maximum savings of $300 (provided the policy premium meets a $200 minimum).
Would you like to move forward with a quote today? If so, please feel free to provide your name, zip code, and the year, make, and model of your vehicle.
Got it — I appreciate you clarifying that. I don't think I'm ready to run a full quote just yet, but I've got the answer I needed. Thanks for your help!
