Well, I'm glad we have some lawyers helping us idiots out!! Your knowledge of the FCBA seems a bit lacking. I wouldn't be suprised if the cc companies lose this one in the end, especially the ones that profited from cyberrebates scheme with partner advertising. It's new ground and very interesting stuff for those who care to think about it!!]</font>
You are probably right, with a defense like the credit card company made me do it because they put a flyer in the bill sending me to the cyberrebate site, and there I figured I just had to pay ten to forty times what I knew it was worth will most certainly work.
I can't believe that anybody can be shocked that it happended, and try to put the responsiblilty on anybody else but their own greed. It was the credit card companies fault? Don't think that one will hold up. Get a jury of local working people to whom $6,000 is four or five months wages and try to explain to them why you bought the monitor, and how it was Amex's fault.
Don't get me wrong, I have a lot of stuff in the house from cyberrebate, but that was back when the prices were only 10 to 25% above the going rate, and I was concerned back then about not getting the rebates. $12 DVD's at the local electronics store selling for $200, ande $150 monitors selling for $6,000? Time to stop playing the rebate game, something was about to give.
