Corsair Rebate Shaft Fremont California
I received a rebate Visa card from Corsair, drawn on MetaBank. I misplaced the card shortly after receiving it, and by the time I found it, the card expiration date was still good, but the funds were gone, because "Fees Apply". So, contrary to the statement on the front of the card, "Funds Do Not Expire", THAT is a falsehood. The funds DO expire because the fees use up the balance by the expiration date on the card. So Corsair makes money twice, 1) on the original purchase, and 2) when they don't have to honor the rebate. A win-win situation for them, a shaft-shaft situation for the customer. I even attempted to get this card reissued, or reloaded, by talking to someone at Corsair. It was denied because the yo-yo that I spoke to said that his computer wouldn't allow him to do it. Well, my pocketbook isn't going to allow me to spend any more money on ANY of their products either! I NEVER will buy another Corsair product. EVER! PERIOD!
When I attempted to use "leverage" by telling them I was going to find a place and post a NEGATIVE feedback report about this incident, they just blew me off, like I was making an idle threat. They'll NEVER see another penny of my money. I assured them that I would create enough hate and discontent to cost them twenty times the $10 that was on the card. Still didn't phase them.
