Solve : Creative Labs Charges "Maintenance Fee" For Rebate?

1.	Solve : Creative Labs Charges "Maintenance Fee" For Rebate?
Answer» Creative Labs has found a great new WAY to minimize the risk that a customer will ACTUALLY benefit from a rebate offer. In Rick's case, they sent him the rebate in the form of a $10 debit card that was SUPPOSED to be good until July 2009, but when he went to a Best Buy to USE it last month, it was denied. The reason? He'd been charged a $3 "maintenance fee" every month since January. LinkWhat happened when it was all gone? Did he owe money?Quote from: computeruler on May 14, 2009, 03:25:06 PM What happened when it was all gone? Did he owe money? No, only a BANK would do that! I continue to buy products which offer rebates, but the rebate concept has lost its allure, to me. I've passed up many products which sole inducement was a rebate savings -- it's rarely worth the hassle, anymore. He had 6 months before the monthly fee kicked in.
