[quote name='steelsmack']OMG, you said you have a 4.2 on the internetz, it must be true... Come on dude (is dude proper for a eunuch?), no one with a 4.2 gpa would think that what I linked to isn't evidence. Heck, no one with a 2.2 gpa would think that way. I'd bet you haven't graduated anything, and your gpa is lower, MUCH LOWER, than you're pretending here (1.8?). Funny how everyone on the internet pretends to be really smart, yet no one actually is...
Like I said, they were called subscriptions before. And he apparently talked to them in a 53 minute window between posts, highly unlikely. Again, check the evidence and you'll quickly realize what a retard YOU are (again, if logical thinking was something you were capable of).
Yes, perfect sense, if he's trying to convince others not to get the cards so he can get them for himself...[/quote]
I think there's a misunderstanding here.
Read SuperSonic's post again, particularly the bolded part:
[quote name='SuperSonic128']I talked to them on the phone a while back.
(When I thought my check would come in within two weeks.) The first thing the guy told me on the phone was that there were diffrent kinds of cards. One redeemable for cash and for magazines, and one that can only be used for magazine subscriptions. If you had ordered a gift card before, the conformation would say magazines.com giftcard. When you order it now, it says $15/$25 magazine subscription.
There is a high chance CL read up on it and ordered the the ones that can't be redeemed for cash because it would make the cards worth more then anything on the site and people would just go out and buy the item.[/quote]
If I remember right, he sent his cards in quite a long time ago. So here is the apparent timeline of events.
1. SuperSonic orders tons of Magazines.com gift cards when they were up for the first time.
2. He receives them, then requests a conversion to cash from Magazines.com
3. The website says it usually takes 2 weeks. 2 weeks passed with no sign of the money, so he calls and asks about it. This is when an employee tells him there are 2 types of cards, one that can be redeemed for cash, and one that can't.
4. He reads on CAG that the gift cards are back up.
5. 53 minutes later, he sees that the gift cards have actually changed name, and lets us know that he is concerned that they have now switched the cards to the type that cannot be redeemed for cash (which makes perfect sense, since it was being abused)
I personally don't really care because I never planned on getting the gift cards for cash. Just my 2 cents. It doesn't have to be such a harsh argument of intelligence... we can all chill here, right?
