$200 free gas update

[jowaju]

Just received my DiscountsUSA package, the $200 in free gas they advertised is actually $255!!! There's a survey form in the package that says the following "As a special "Thank You," we would like to offer you $255 in gasoline rebate certificates, as our gift to you. Please fill out and return this survey and you will receive 34 coupons, each good for one $7.50 rebate each 10 days. Please allow 4-6 weeks for delivery. Please print legibly"

There you go folks, looks like it will take a good year to finish these off. Well I gotta fill this out and send it in, then I'm off to go Test Drive that Buick Regal http://www.gotapex.com/ubb/smile.gif

What was the deal? Is it still available? What is the URL?

AHA! Forgot to read the fine print on this, you gotta be an active member when you try to use the gas rebates, and the signup fee is $96, so you still get $255 worth of gas for $96, but I'm gonna pass on this one.

I <u>KNEW</u> it! When I signed up I was positive that it would be a scam like that where you had to stay a member. So, in order to use all 34 coupons, you'll have to stay a member for 340 days, practically a year. But hey, they have forced advance billing for the whole year http://www.gotapex.com/ubb/rolleyes.gif Arg man... So how do the rebates work, do you need to include a receipt of some sort? Most of the time I pay in cash, but if they need a receipt it might be easier just to charge it. Hrm... food for thought, thanks for the update.

Well I dont rightly know how you redeem the rebates, cuz they didnt give em to me yet, you have to fill out a friggin survey agin, and send it in, then wait another 4-6 weeks for them to deliver your rebates. F$@& it! It's not worth it.
