I decided to try this offer, because well I like jewelry anyway...and to recieve credit for this one you have to of course make a purchase. Well I bid on a bracelet for  $6.00 and won, which I didn't think was too bad when Fusion's payout for this offer is $12.00, now I knew of course I'd lose a few more dollars from shipping and handling and for a little bracelet like this was expecting the total outcome to be around $9.00 or something...but then I go to check out and s&h is like $11.00, for little ol bracelet that I'm sure doesn't weigh that much! so total is like $17.00.

I currently only have $13.00 on my prepaid card, and don't wanna add more money to it for a couple of weeks. I wonder if there's a way to tell em I don't want it anymore...jeez $11.00 s&h for a bracelet that that weighs probably less  than my hydroderm free sample in which I paid $4.00 for s&h, and could probably fit in a regular size envelope or something...probably doesn't need a big fancy box to go in...man, I loved the bracelet actually, but even if Fusion didn't payout 12.00 for it, I still don't know if I'd be happy with that cost of s&h.

the S&H always gets ya...some of these companies are even getting slick when they claim to offer 'free' shipping...they forget to tell u that they are still gonna charge u for 'handling' and how nice of em to throw in an 'insurance fee'...knowing damn well if my product gets to me tore up looking they are gonna get that mess back regardless..lol..

You aren't supposed to use Prepaid cards anyway to fullfill offers here at FC.

You are only supposed to complete offers you are interested in. And using a prepaid card is against the rules and when the advertiser turns in the list of accounts who have used them, we have the close the account to keep in good standing with the advertiser.
 


Just thought you'd like to know so you don't get into trouble.  :wave:

I can understand why using a prepaid card might irritate some advertisers if it's a free trial and they want the chance to screw you when it's over and everything (and they can't really if it's a prepaid card), but making a one time purchase with a prepaid card that has sufficient funds on it, should not be a problem for Fusion or the advertiser, because they get their money. However, I won't use my prepaid card because I know there's not sufficient funds on it...in fact I dunno if I'll use ANY card to pay that ridiculous s&h costs.
