You know those rebate cards you get sometimes, like when you buy a new cell phone, or maybe sign up for FIOS?
We signed up for FIOS and got a $150 rebate card.... We used it at WDW and then destroyed the card, and it turns out that this is what YOU NEED TO DO.
Why?
Because the story on the news was about a pastor who used all of his rebate, so he thought it was OK to leave the depleted card at the restaurant. But the real deal is that these cards can go into negative balances. Yep, in this case, the waitress "charged" another $300 on the card that the pastor thought was only good for $50. He was told that he owed the money. The TV station intervened and his charges were dropped, but I am sure this won't happen for most.
Apparently this is happening to many Verizon customers, as they give these cards out as promotions all the time. The story cited Citibank, and one other bank I can't remember as the primary "offenders".
So, here is your "heads up".
