Lucky for you, you got your $10/coupon cards back. I haven’t received anything yet from submitting since Jan 2 of this year.

If you cancel the service before using all of your rebates, are the rebates still valid? Do you have to stay a member to use the rebates?

You’ve done what? Cashed in the rebate coupons? Or duped them into giving you duplicate sets of rebate coupons (at once) and then successfully cashed in both the originals and the duplicates? That’s pretty impressive if you’ve being able to do the latter three separate times.

LOL — I absolutely love it. I haven’t heard about much of those check cashing promos here in Canada, but I hear they use it alot in USA — for stuff like switching people Long Distance and stuff like that — crazyness!

Yes, there is a cost, but it’s associated with your closing balance at the end of each month. I’m doing this with a card for which I’ve already maxed out the rebates, such that I’m not currently using it. No activity = no balance = no cost.

If I understand correctly, you get the rebate coupons for agreeing not to cancel the Credit Protector program? If so, isn’t there a cost to that program which would at least partly offset the rebate coupons? What am I missing?

I had to laugh when I read your post – I previously got those $50 rebate coupons and used them. I got another $15 check about 3 months ago, deposited it and made a note on my calendar to cancel (fully expecting them to try and keep me!) Well, no dice — they just let me go. Anyway, it was another $15 to send to my mortgage company.
