If you’ve cashed a rebate check or check for reward points recently, you may have just authorized a $150 annual fee to be charged to your account, or a monthly charge. \u00a0 Advanta is sending reward points rebates right now.\u00a0 And the Snuggie. You know, that comfy looking lounging robe they advertise on tv?\u00a0 Apparently the Better Business Bureau had to get involved after massive customer complaints.\u00a0 They say “rebate\u201d checks for $8.95 have been issued to Snuggie buyers, snaring them in with an old trick used by credit card companies.\u00a0 On the rebate checks, in fine print, it says that by cashing the check, you are automatically charged a $149.99 annual membership fee.\u00a0 Here are some links: Don’t Buy A Snuggie Blanket,<\/a> Don’t Cash the Rebate check<\/a>. \u00a0 Snuggie Scam: Pay $150 for A $9 Rebate<\/a> and Better Business Bureau issues warning over Snuggie scam<\/a>.

ADVANTA IS DOING THIS NOW: I wondered why I even cared about this, then just now looked on my desk and have a “rebate check” for “reward points” from Advanta, who I used to have a credit card with.\u00a0 The accompanying info had already been thrown away, so I could not read the fine print.\u00a0 However, I simply tore the check up so I did not end up depositing it.\u00a0 Synchronicity.\u00a0 The Universe rescues me in the nick of time once again.\u00a0 Vibrational match!<\/p>\n
