TigerDirect.com offers now and their own rebates for buying a product from them... I bit and purchased a Western Digital hard Drive that had a "$15" Rebate. Only the rebate was rendered by an AMEX Prepaid card with$1 deducted from the $15.. Leaving $14 when card issued. The real "fraud" is that the card is not honored when attempts are made to use it... And here is the biggie: Amex will deduct a service charge from it's value for every month not used.
So the "fraud" is a rebate that isn't there... And to add insult to "injury" TigerDirect lowered the price of the drives by $15 right after the rebate offer expired. So, if I had waited 5 more days to purchase, I would have got the drive for $15 less and no bogus Prepaid rebate card from AMEX. Amazing how anything with an "AMEX" label is a screw job.
Welcome to America! Where all businesses are run like prostitution... But without a " happy ending" as was with my purchase from TigerDirect.
