There has been some confusion of late regarding Fisionwise’s Micropay rebate program. One reader, Hiram Homer, sent me a personal email that I actually have on my computer.
Hiram Homer writes:
"Dear Dr. Bad Advice: I don’t really understand the Micropay rebate from Fisionwise because I'm somewhat slow and was wondering if you could help me to understand the program."
I felt very sorry for the man, so I sent him a personal reply, which I am now sharing with you.
Dear Hiram Homer:
"Yes, I can understand your perturbation, especially if you are somewhat slow.
"Basically, the 10% rebate is applied only until April 1, at which point the 10% becomes 20%. Keep in mind that if any books were bought before April 1 at the 10% discounted rate, the buyer will then be debited to his account an additional 15%, at which point AFTER April 1, the remaining 5% is then also debited from that same account or from your nearest relative's account. However, there is one further consideration to keep in mind: If you are a member, you receive an additional 15% discount on odd-numbered days, using the Julian Calendar. For example, if a book is $5.99 and you buy it before April 1, then the book will cost you somewhere around $6.25, give or take 50 cents. If, however, you buy the book AFTER April 1, then the book will cost only $7.32. Now, if you are also a member of Fisionwise, the book will cost you $8.25, but only if purchased during the vernal equinox, a considerable savings off the suggested retail price of $26.72. Keep in mind that all books must be bought during odd-numbered days for this to be effective, otherwise you will have to pay $23.98. Also - Dr. Bad Advice almost forgot, hahah – if you use your credit card to make purchases, then the price will only be $18.99, the actual price of the book in any bookstore. (In Canada, of course, prices are much higher.) You must also give one pint of blood on any even-numbered day. But that’s another story…."
I hope this helps you or any slow person in the world to better understand. You can also click on the link on their website, buried somewhere on some page and in really small letters.
Signed,
Dr. Bad Advice
