Cyberrebates!!

[markgm]

Woohoo, I got $598 from the cyberrebates settlement. Now the book can forever be closed on the dot com era along with the chapter on getting paid to surf.

Holy crap. Havn't they been out of business for like 5 years now?

So you must have purchased a lot of junk from Cyberrebates then.

At first it was a good deal, they'd give you random crap for reasonable prices (around msrp) and you'd get your rebates in maybe a couple months time. Then they got evil and started charging around 500-1000% msrp (60-70 bucks for a normal candle) and rebates became more and more delayed. My family purchased a few things at the beginning of the craze and then stopped, my aunt got stuff right before they went "bankrupt" and spent a lot of money there. You can definitely spend a few thousand if you got carried away (10 candles? books? laser pointers?)

All before my 21st birthday too! But I do now have The Matrix on DVD, um, uh, also the, well, I'm sure it was money well spent. I got most of it back from my credit cards, but I was stupid. This was when I was making $500 a month from the "get paid to surf" programs. I figured if those worked than this would too. Oh if only I had the spread sheets showing how I'd never have to work again!

Is that 8 cents on the dollar figure right? I've got a buddy that was out a couple hundred bucks.

Yeah, he would have had to file a claim last year. The case is closed unless someone doesn't cash their check, at which point there will be another refund of .00001 cents or something.
