Ways to get it wrong
Using 'ventas' instead of 'ofertas'
'Ventas' means sales in the sense of selling goods, not discounts.
Forgetting the 'n' in 'tienen'
Saying 'tie-en' instead of 'tie-nen' can sound like you're asking 'do you have' to one person.
A small cultural note
In many Latin American countries, 'ofertas' are very common and often advertised prominently. It's perfectly normal to ask about them.
