Well,
FW just added a couple of titles by Thomas Cahill (How the Irish Saved Civilisation) which included a rebate, even with Micropay purchase, so I used up some more micropay and brought my balance down to $67. My theory, use up micropay dollars as soon as possible since B&N is out to destroy FW. |

^ I can't see them refunding MP dollars, for the most part the are like 'bonus' dollars. hopefully you didn't pay cash for any.
I've got to figure out how to use my balance and use it quick. Things don't feel right here. |

I requested a refund for the unused portion of my BuyWise membership. I got this response less than 24 hours later:
As requested, we have returned the unused portion of your Buywise Membership...[remaining details removed] |

P.S. And a couple of short stories brings it to $0.05. Has anyone managed to make it come out even? Last edited by wayrad; 05-01-2010 at 07:22 AM. |

If you read on Fictionwise's MicroPay Help page at the very bottom it states:

I decided today to try to run down my micropay rebates as I had a huge balance on it.
Two things I found out - there are very limited titles available now that the 5 majors have pulled their books (which sucks!) and they have started using technology which checks your location against your IP address, so even if you have a legit US address but you are accessing from a different country, it will come back with a message saying that your actual location and your address on the system do not match. Between the geographic restrictions on books, the IP address checking and the limited titles, it was a push just to be able to use my micropay. They certainly are not making it easy for someone to spend money with them, are they? I'm sure FW must really be suffering from dropped sales. Even the title selections for what's new and their 100% micropay rebates are terrible. It used to be that there was always at least 1 of the 4 100% micropay rebates books I would want to get right away and take advantage of the rebate but now there is nothing. I'm just going to try to use up my micropay rebates as quickly as possible and then I'm not going back to FW again. It's just too bad as I have been a faithful customer for years. It all started going downhill after the B&N purchase. Doesn't B&N realise that we are now living in a global economy? Don't they know that (1) the world is not the US only and (2) people from other parts of the world would like to buy from them too, if they only let them. What are they afraid of? |

I have worked by micropay rebates down to 13c. I don't think I could get it any lower than that.
Good bye, Fictionwise. Last edited by langshipley; 04-30-2010 at 08:06 PM. |
