CAGiversary!
I was looking for some books and, looking at my cart, noticed an offer that let's you choose from several free magazine subscriptions (supposedly a $10 value). However, the small print below it states that "If you decline your magazine subscription you may receive an allowance for its stated value."
I'm curious about this offer since Buy.com is still running it's Google Checkout $10 off $10+ promotion. Even with around $4 shipping for an item, a $15 book would be $19, $10 from GC nets $9, and the rebate would yield -$1, meaning I make $1. Am I missing something?
As far as I can tell, the Google Checkout discount wouldn't show up on Buy.com's invoice, so the order total would still appear to be above $15 for rebate purposes. Any thoughts concerning this scheme?
