Sure DL spelled out the risk that they can make changes to their eligible partners, but the promotion is explicit. Nowhere does it imply that if you make an investment, the value of the investment might decline. If I buy stock I take risk that is both explicit and assumed. Nowhere does a stock prospectus say "As long as everything goes according to original plan your investment will return 150% within 2-3 months".

Point: Promo does not equal purchase of stock. Bad Analogy.

And I never made any argument about the promo being dead or alive, just disputing the stock analogy.
