Ebates question...

[aphex]

Well (as im sure many of you know) i cancelled my digital camera order from dell after they delayed it for a month. The thing is, ebates just sent me a check for $10.20 (2% of the cost). I just checked my ebates account a minute ago and my account is now listed at -$10.20.

Does this mean i should cash the check and all future ebates purchases will go towards working off the negative balance?

Yes. So what *I* would do is to open a new account

how long does it take for ebates to show the amount you're gettting back from a purchase? I only used it once, and that was like two years ago, so I can't remember..I used ebates for two orders last week and nothing has showed up..

I recently received my $155 eBates.com check, damn I love free money!

If it were me, I'd e-mail their customer service and let them know what's going on. Advise them you'd like your negative balance to be corrected to show 0, ask them to place a stop payment on the check and either destroy it or mail it back to eBates, just don't cash the check.

As a moral issue or to protect my ass?

Unless you're really dirt poor then I wouldn't cash the check. I would just e-mail them stating you received a check for $10.20, issued xx/xx/02 check # xxxx and you're going to destroy the check because your Dell order was cancelled and you have a negative owing balance, kindly ask them to correct your balance to reflect 0.

I'm in the same boat as Aphex. Dell cancelled my orders and i still get 2% back. They told me they stopped payment already.
