Apparently when you order from NewEgg now, at the final "confirm my order" page they have a little check box off to the top right, you have to uncheck or you get billed $10 for a magazine subscription.

I called immediately after I saw that and it doesn't show up on your invoice and they can't cancel it. They e-mail you a form you need to fill out and mail in order to get your refund.

Now I have to do it twice because I placed two seperate orders.

It is a free subscription if you order a Western Digital product. If you decline you are entitled to a $10 refund through some trickery. There is no extra charge. Read the fine print and stop spreading FUD. You need to change the title of this BS thread.

Included in your purchase is a 1-year subscription to PC magazine - a $9.97 value. If you choose not to receive the included magazine subscription, you may request a refund of the subscription value. You are only allowed up to 2 subscriptions/refunds if multiple orders are placed.

Why am I being offered a refund?

I agree to receive this offer and to have Newegg.com provide my information to Ziff Davis Media.

If this is true, then no more buying from Newegg for me. Not that I did that much to begin with but...

Soryr, don't see it. Just did a test thingy all the way to the end where the button says "Submit Order" and I don't see what you're talking about.

Aside from that, the page where you choose payment with all the checkboxes is sh1t. That alone makes me not want to order from them.

WTF? I just made two orders last week. If I get two magazine subscriptions, I am suing them in small claims and turning them in for fraud.

Did newegg change owner? I'd rather buy my stuff from outpost than newegg if it's true.

Sec, let me find it.

EDIT: What the heck? Did they take it down? I called and complained today and they emailed me a refund form.
