I GUESS we could all cash out and wait 42 years for the award, maybe more!

ANYONE get their awards lately?

What a joke! HA!!

Didn't you get the email that states:

Question: What guitarist played with Michael Jackson in his video for the song,
"Beat It"?
You correctly answered: Eddie Van Halen
You were awarded 50000 points.

DON'T WE ALL WISH???

I got it TOO! I figure we should keep the emailed message that says we got 50000 points....isn't the customer always right and don't we have proof???

I redeemed points in Oct. for a $25 amazon gc....figured I would get an email with a code....figured "gee, how long could that possibly take?" It showed they "filled" it in Nov. Was hoping to use it for some Xmas presents. So far, I have not received it. I sent them a couple of emails about it....after the 4th message I sent, they responded and said that it is on its way, but no mention of how - email, snail mail. Now it is the 12th of Jan and STILL no gc!!! About a year ago this happend and I complained and complained and complained --- they refunded my points AND sent my Omaha Steak gift card!!!! They are SO unreliable!

I got it too! I really want to be honest and tell them about the mistake....but now I have enough points to cash out for lots of giftcertificates!

It would be cheating if I cashed out when I really don't have the points.

what should we do?

I got them too! I think I'm going to cash out & see what happens.

I am totally freaked out! Maybe it's an angry intern!

syrinia · #12 (**permalink**) 01-12-2002, 03:02 PM

I don't think we should cash out. If they are going to take away these points (which I assume they will), they will also have to unredeem all the blood-suckers that cashed out.

It's already obvious how difficult it is for dot-coms to keep their head above water. Do we want to drive them out of business?? I certainly hope not.

(Sorry, lecture over. I'm just worried about all the dolts who are going to cash out, ruining it for the rest of us honest people.)

I don't know about anyone else, but though my email said 50,000 points, my account was only credited with the standard 5. Has anyone noticed that the emails are only giving 3 points now?
