Ashford.com - help me with my math

I purchased a Breitling at Ashford.com on 12/20/2014.
The price was $3710.70 BUT I had a coupon for $250, so I ended up paying $3460.70.
On 12/24, they dropped the price to $3048.40, the difference being $412.30, right?
So I called Ashford and they said they had a price match guarantee and they would refund me the difference of $412.30.
Awesome!
But they didn't do that.
Instead they refunded $162.30.
So I called again today and they said they subtracted the $250 from the refund. WTF???
Is my math that bad? $3460.70 - $3048.40 = $412.30, right? Am I missing something here?

Obviously. But math is the only constant in this universe, so...

Have they said that your coupon that you used on the original purpose is not valid on the $3048.40 price? That seems to be what they are trying to do. But yes. $3400-$3000 is $400. Your math is sound.

It's kind of like trying to return one piece of the buy one get 7 free at Jos A Bank.

ashford definitely made u scapegoat. Dear Mark i have a free advice. You could have find the watch you liked on TRF with better deal rather than visiting bobs/ashford/joma..etc they had to hike the price in order to maintain their business which you are the looser finally.

No they did not. The watch I got from them is a limited edition and the price I paid was the lowest anywhere around. Contrary to what you might think, sometimes you CAN get a better price outside of the forums, and I am hardly a looser.

I was just hoping they would honor their low price guarantee as they told me they would. It was still a great price, but $412 is $412.

Pretty certain he meant 'the loser' in this deal, not 'a loser' in general. No offence was intended, I'm sure.
