I end up with the product, which I always return for a full refund. This of course means I don't end up with any net spend, but it's still a great deal on its own.
You should keep the volume low so you aren't flagged as a "serial returner" by the merchant. They could ban you from future returns. If the merchant subscribes to The Retail Equation, other merchants could blackball you, too. That said, I'm still going to try it.
