Say thank you and the next time you are near. See what you can buy for $50. You may find you need that Rolex calendar.

Negotiate the heck out of a new purchase, and when all said and done whip out that gift certificate

Request 2 Rolex ball caps and call it a day? To be honest I've never used any of these either. If I even wore ball caps these would probably be the last ones I would ever wear. Not because I don't like Rolex, I just think it might be the kind of advertising that mind end up potentially causing more problems or gaining more attention than what I would want. Actually the fifty dollars in hind sight would have been better. I've got a 1680 Red that I wear nothing but NATO bands, I could have used that towards a few of them.

Say thank you and call it a day.

What ever he negotiates you can bet that $50 bucks is already priced in.
