Yeah no, they don't. Those kind of offers are based on the specific CFA store that advertises them. CFA Maplewood most definitely does not do that.
Looking it up a bit more, it seems a single location did this and then word spread, and...well...typical internet rumors 😬 My bad.
Will see if I can find out
I used to work at a cfa and I don't recall anything like that.
If that is a thing i also want to know.
