Thread: What's with this "cashback by redemption" ??

Have had several cash back offers. Never a problem.

i bought my laptop with $199 cashback deal.Had to wait 2 months for the cashback,when it came the check was for $149 so i rang them with a complaint and they said that they never had a cashback deal for that amount.
Luckily for me i had downloaded the deal on offer. I faxed it to them and rang them 3 days later, your check will be posted tomorrow they said, 2 weeks later i rang again to be told "it was posted this morning".i received it 3 days later.

i dropped norton also and enjoy avg free . works well for me . tried cash back . got a hp computer , kept locking up tried online help etc , eventually rang them to be told to return for refund or exchange!!! did so got an acer wich works well ,so far . about 6 weeks after purchase got an email from cash back . not what you would call customer service ! guess if you can wait it may work ?? but why do they need to keep your money ,for so long??

Another shonky 'Cash Back' offer I have seen going around requires you to pay for a 'holiday' at a specific resort, then you are given vouchers to 'spend' on services at the resort. So you end up paying i) an inflated price for the product you want, and ii) paying an inflated price for a resort 'visit' if you try to pursue your 'offer'.

And some people continue to fall for this!

I've had several cash back offers and never had a problem. I've successfully redeemed cash back offers from Norton and Quicken, and also got the free stuff that some of them offer instead of cash back. Works for me...
