ABOUT RETURNS:
7) Can I return products I've already received?
For a number of reasons, CyberRebate cannot accept returns of merchandise. Therefore, no returns should be sent either to CyberRebate's corporate offices or to the warehouse from which orders were processed. Any returns sent may not be properly received or returned to you. However, Capital City Bank, one of several banks that processed credit card transactions for CyberRebate, has begun requesting returns from certain customers. Click here for information on this process.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
8) Where is the rebate status information?
For a certain period following the bankruptcy, CyberRebate had posted customer account information, including purchase history and rebate information, at its Web site. That service is no longer available.
9) How was the lawsuit between CyberRebate and Paymentech resolved?
Pursuant to a Stipulation and Agreed Order Settling Adversary Proceeding (the "Stipulation") approved by the Bankruptcy Court on November 14, 2001, CyberRebate, Paymentech Merchant Services, LLC ("Paymentech"), which was one of CyberRebate's former credit card processors, and the Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors agreed as follows:
the litigation between CyberRebate and Paymentech was dismissed with prejudice;
Paymentech: (i) received $4,150,000 from CyberRebate and (ii) applied the $4,571,098 remaining in the reserve account maintained by Paymentech (collectively the "Settlement Amount") in payment of its claim against CyberRebate for chargebacks to credit card customers;
if the Paymentech claim, as ultimately allowed after all chargebacks are finalized (the "Allowed Claim") is less than the Settlement Amount, then Paymentech will refund the difference to CyberRebate's estate;
if the Allowed Claim is greater than Settlement Amount, Paymentech will not share in any distribution until the other unsecured general creditors receive a distribution of 10% of their allowed claims; and
to an exchange of releases including the termination by Paymentech of all liens against CyberRebate's assets
Well, I got some of my money back from some cards (i.e. nextcard visa) and I sued and won against Discover (Novus Inc.) but am awaiting the check in the mail or their appeal and I am currently awaiting my case against Chase Manhattan Bank. Chase may actually be WORSE than Discover as Chase almost never received any mail I sent them or any faxes I sent them (according to them anyway). So, I'd say I have had a varying spectrum of sucess. I'll keep plugin' away!
