| GOOD QUESTION
how does cyberrebate do it? obviously, they CANNOT pay a rebate to everyone... they operate on the assumption that some rebates will not be paid for whatever reason... they charge you $150 for a DVD, then use that $150 to pay off other rebates... since the DVD only costs them $15, if 1 out of 10 people doesn't get their rebate, cyberrebates breaks even.
This is nothing but a PONZI scam... if you are not familiar with PONZI scams, do a search on the web.... participants in PONZI schemes are all very happy (in fact they are usually a scam's best advertising) until the scheme breaks down because enough cash flow isnt coming in to pay off the previous participants...
it is only a matter of time before people get screwed by this company...
