To be honest, it seems quite a good deal to me.
I quite fancied Lev Grossman's The Magicians, a current NYT bestseller (amazing what being marketed as a 'mainstream' novel can do for your fantasy brick). That was previously being sold by FW for $8.50, including the club discount, as I recall. There are two other books in my wishlist I'd quite like at $6.79 each (club price).
If I'd bought the three of them, including the Magicians, at the latter's previous reduced price of $8.50, my total expenditure would be $22.08. But with the 100% micropay rebate, then The Magicians - club price $17.00 - means the total cost of all three books is $13.58, with three micropay dollars left over.
Now, I'm the first to admit my maths is quite tragically horrible, but surely that's a pretty good deal? I'm the first to agree some ebooks are horribly overpriced, but when it comes to micropay rebates, the higher the price, the better off you are, as long as there's other books you already wanted to buy.
