Wow... sometimes things are better left unsaid really... I know it's just the internet, but why make yourself look so selfish.

Karma karma karma, you'll always get what's coming to you. ;)

probably because they don't regard being selfish as a character flaw or something negative to be hidden.

But hey, they STUCK IT TO THE MAN!

WHY $100? WASNT THE PRICE DROP $200?
 
Wasn't there a huge thing where the FBI came after those people who made fraud claims during Hurricane Katrina's disaster... hmm :D
 
I bought an iPhone, and, uh, I took it out of the box, and I, uh, took the empty box back to the Apple store, and I uh, got a refund, and I uh still had the IPHONE AT HOME! And then I got an Apple iRebate AND 200 from AMEX, too!

I REALLY STUCK IT TO THE MAN!

















No, I did not.... and I hate to be giving this idea to some of the members of this board with little to no conscience.
 
I would guess they figure the $100 from Apple should be included in the equation. I am not sure why some people are saying this is shady. It is a feature of the AMEX card, not some sort of scam.

They only gave me $100 since I got $100 from Apple.

I don't think they are saying that I scammed anybody. They are saying those who got more than $200 back did. But, what do I know. :)
 
Well, i guess it makes sense now... the price wsa dropped $200.. Apple refunds $100, AMEX: $100... o.k o.k.. i feel ya now...
 
Amex Question

Hey guys,


Just noticed this post. I'm a card holder, how do you get the Amex refund ?
 
getting $100 from Amex seems ok since they are just covering what Apple didn't cover, so its perfecly legal :)

Now, for those of you who are proud of pulling a scam and stealing... maybe you should go post at the pirate thread, har har!

Remember to buy steal an eyepatch and wooden leg on your way out.
