Not only that, but because of what I personally think was the abuse of this promo, by turning it into commercial ventures-- possibly contributing to it's premature discontinuance, some folks who were simply following the rules will now have to invest valuable time into making certain that they get the 450 instead of the 150 per $. Phone calls, e-mails, etc. just to insure they get what they were on track to get just a week ago-- no fuss, no muss.

I purchased some (many) magazines a few days ago, but they are "posting" at the the "new" rate of 150 per $. I don't doubt that eventually I will prevail in getting that fixed-- but, IMHO, the abuse of this promo will cause unearned grief for those who followed the rules.

Just my €.02
