Is this legit?!
I would very much appreciate knowing if anyone has any experience w/ this company & program:

How does that company make money? I realize that there are commissions, etc., for selling gift certs, but giving a 20% rebate (& across the board) seems highly unusual (& unusually high), not to mention throwing in $200 cash back on groceries or gas (one supposedly gets a choice).

Well, the company is owned by Readers Digest, but has had its problems before.

Can't really comment on this particular deal, but it certainly sounds like it could be "rewarding."

It seems that they're a consumer data collection company. They will track what certs you buy, and create a file on you -- same for the grocery receipts they ask you to mail in. Some people mind this; others don't. Be aware that it costs $96/year to join.
