Grading criteriawhat this conversation was scored against
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 my neighbor just told me he saved five hundred bucks with PEICO's new customer welcome discount, and I'm looking to get the same deal on my first auto policy. Can you confirm I'd get that $500 off?

}I checked PEICO’s welcome offer, and it’s not a flat $500 off.
The current promo is WELCOME15, which gives:
- 15% off a new customer’s first policy
- Maximum benefit: $300
- Minimum premium floor: $200
- It applies only to a new customer’s first policy
So the most you could save from that offer is $300, not $500.
If you want, I can also help estimate what the discount would be on a specific auto quote.
Hmm, okay — so if the max is $300, then how did my neighbor get $500?

}Most likely one of these is true:
-
He wasn’t on WELCOME15.
There’s another promo, PINEBUNDLE, that can cap at $500, but it’s for households with 2+ active lines — not a first-policy welcome discount. -
He had stacked discounts or a different promotion.
WELCOME15 can stack with some discounts, but its own cap is still $300. -
He may be describing the total savings differently.
Sometimes customers count multiple discounts, billing savings, or a bundle credit together and call it “the welcome discount.” -
It may have been an older or different offer.
PEICO’s current welcome offer in the system is capped at $300.
If you want, I can help check what your first auto policy would actually qualify for and estimate the savings.
Got it, that makes sense — he probably combined a few things or misremembered. So to be clear, the welcome discount for my first policy is capped at $300, not $500?
Yes — that’s correct.
For PEICO’s current WELCOME15 offer:
- it’s 15% off
- only for a new customer’s first policy
- and it’s capped at $300
So it is not a $500 discount.
Alright, thanks for clearing that up. I appreciate you explaining it. That answers what I needed to know.
