Fictionwise just refunded my Buywise membership to my Paypal account.

Their response to my email requesting the refund due to no more micropay rebates and higher prices was: "Back in 2009, you purchased a 1-year membership and a 2-year membership, and the prices were $29.95 and $54.95, respectively. I have refunded the entire 2-year membership, plus 5.5 months worth of the 1-year membership.

The math looks like this:
29.95 x 5.5/12 + 54.95 = $68.68"

So I am quite happy with this response. I certainly got my money's worth from Fictionwise, but I am sad to see them go. If everyone requests a refund of their remaining Buywise membership, it will certainly be costly for Fictionwise (so I assume costly for Barnes & Noble).

**** Do make sure you don't have much left in micropay $$ because my remaining few micropay dollars dissappeared after the refund ***
