What is a Loyalty Discount?

The new guy at TREK said he call Vince back and he did.  Told Vin that he was in luck because he qualified for TREK's 'loyalty discount' and for only 2200 dollars he could buy a replacement frame to replace his relatively new cracked TREK carbon fiber frame.  I wonder who wouldn't qualify for a loyalty discount since this is the first thing Vince has ever bought from TREK and will never buy anything again.  As flattered as he was, Vin turned down their generous offer and asked if it could be repaired.  In a "yeah right" tone of voice the new guy told him it was gone forever.

Below is proof that a carbon fiber frame can be successfully repaired if you're Vince and have a couple sheets of unidirectional and woven carbon fiber, epoxy putty and lots and lots of sandpaper.

ps.  please notice my edits and new pics in the eggplant bathtub post below too.
