Pre-Orders

In July I pre-ordered some spoken word CD's from a company which are not going to be available until January 2014. All the pre-orders are paid for in advance - I used my Mastercard to pay for them.
This weekend they are running a promotion with a 15% discount off this range - it includes past releases as well as all advance pre-orders
Whilst this is obviously good for new orders I feel more than a bit annoyed to not be able to have the discount. Am I entitled to ring up and ask for the discount in the form of a refund or credit note?
Is this the risk you take when pre-ordering and paying in advance?

At the moment I feel like I either want the discount or failing that I want to cancel but I don't know if I can.

    It's a risk you take as with any purchase.

    If they increased in cost, would you be happy to pay the difference?

    How did you order them? Instore or online, if online then cancel under DSR and re order.
