Why does it take a minimum 3 - 5 business days to refund monies? This occurs with most companies/banks/CC. Yet, charge something and it shows up on the statement within 24 hours. Am I missing something here, or is this just one more way the Banks fuxk us over????
The banks require confirmation from the companies that you didn't make the purchase, you returned it, or there was some other error. And given that most companies process transactions at the end of the night rather than on the spot (which is how the banks like it) they won't receive the info until the overnight and then it has to go through their system etc.
kinda sad to see apple take almost 2 weeks to respond to this and not to really offer any gift to those who were charged. With how sue crazy america is I'm surprised their isn't already a class action law suit.
You assume that everyone that was affected bought on day one. It's possible they did not. And you assume that this email was the first time one of these went out. It is possible that it was not. It could be that they have been doing this for days but folks just weren't tipping it to the blog sites because they weren't all freaking out over it.
If memory serves Apple gave a guy a ipad because his wife said no, or something like that during the iPad 2 launch. Thats good press.
No it was an unfounded rumor that was never proven as being real. The blogs picked it up because they knew it would get them hits. Whether it was true or not didn't matter
the problem was that we had a Bootcamp partition and all my wife's scrapbook files were lost. We are talking thousands of dollars worth of items which she created and sold at craft shows, etc.,
So you reload it from your backup.
Oh wait, you never backed it up. How is that Apple's fault? How are they responsible for you and your wife being dumb. It's not.
