So I got a game code from a purchase I made at Tigerdirect for a R7 Sapphire GPU and it came with a few game code card coupon. I didn’t feel the need to play any game until mos later and I mean long time after I purchased the GPU and I’ve decided to redeem those coupon code.

One in particular is the Battlefield 4. I scratched out the code, and entered that code on AMD website, but it said invalid. Now clearly I see that it said on the card, must redeem within certain period of time, but I thought I may try anyways today 🙂 Well it didn’t work.

So I tried to contact AMD and APU support responded and asked me to provide proof of purchase and the actual coupon code scanned clearly. I did all that and submitted to to AMD APU support, let see what they come back with. Below is the email I got from them initially. Stay tuned 🙂

Updated: AMD did not honor my game code redemption, no exception.

Hello,

Please send us a clear image, scanned photo or screen shot of your entire Unique Coupon code along with your receipt/order invoice for your product purchase so we can verify your code/account.

Thank you for your cooperation.

Regards,
AMD4U Support

I think I got a good deal on Tigerdirect for Mcafee multi access antivirus and security protection for my computer. The deal was 2 16gb usb thumb drives, and Mcafee multi access software for $60, but $3 tax which is no big deal.

I will get the $60 back if I enrolled in Mcafee automatic renewal for 10 months.

I tried to enroll but it didn’t work, it said something wrong with my credit card or information. I kept trying with different credit card and so on. In the end I thought because in my house address there’s already an account setup for auto-renewal which will expires in three weeks. So I waited and it expired, and I went back to the new account and tried the new renewal and it work. I don’t know if this is just a coincident where during the time it didn’t go through due to some technical difficulties for a few days.

So I got the information required for the $60 rebate, but it was 30 days period it mus post marked. However I don’t know what was the starting day for a post mark 30 days, is it the purchase date, ship date, received date or date I installed the software? I don’t know, will see. Stay tuned! see I get the $60 rebate 🙂

Yesterday I received a Rakuten email advertising the Amazon Fire Phone for $105 after Savings Coupons (instant) but the price didn’t come out to be as advertised.

Basically I clicked on the advertisement on the email which took me to the Fire Phone and it said $134 minus instant saving of $14, that come out to be $120 not $105. I thought I might clicked on the wrong link, or didn’t follow direction thoroughly, so I tried again and again with careful direction and even with different browser, still no go.

I ended up contacting Rakuten, but they made it harder to get a hold of anyone through the web, help chat is not available, and phone is available but waiting time. I managed to send them a message and got a confirmation email below. As of now no respond from Rakuten.

Rakuten responded, I don’t know what you talking about LOL

If you have a business account with Verizon, especially internet package, you can earn rewards through their reward program. You can earn $ here and there, doing survey or making payment, nothing hard and you get points and convert those points into rewards such as gift card, debit card, and so on.

For me personally I’ve been earning additional rewards by doing short surveys, watch short tutorials videos, making online payments, and I’m going to try to earn more by referring people to Verizon $50 per person. However I don’t think I will have any soon 🙂 This blog is very new and I don’t think anyone is reading my writings anymore LOLz.

I think Verizon Fios is the best internet I’ve used thus far, and I’ve been all over, from California to Texas, Pennsylvania to Germany and Taiwan, nothing beat Verizon Fios especially with the upload/download speed matching.

For me for reward payout I use the Debit card, and I use my paypal PayHere to cash it to my paypal account.

I have bad experience with both Expedia and Hertz rental car. I booked a rental car through Expedia.com and they charged me immediately including fees. When I arrived to get my rental car with Hertz, things appears to be smooth, but when I returned the car, and I didn’t check the receipt until I got home, and they somehow charged me again even though I gave them my paperwork printed from Expedia.com website at Hertz rental car counter.

I immediately contacted Expedia, and they said they will need me to send proof of the receipt I got charged by Hertz then they can look into it. I sent email with Hertz receipt, and I called Expedia to follow up, and they said they will refund me in 2-3 business days.

A week later, still no refund, so I called Expedia again, and they told me to call Hertz or expect a call from Hertz rental car. At this point, I’m a little upset because it appears that Expedia and Hertz are professional big business but making me their customer run around when they supposed to have communication in place to fix my problem.

Enough with the call, I went ahead and contacted my credit card company whom is Chase by the way. Chase sent me a form to fill out, which is very straight forward, I did, and sent whatever proof I have and within a week, I received reversal credit to my credit card from Expedia.

Several weeks later Hertz also sent me a refund which I believe is the fees Expedia pocket.

Overall, I think I wasted some hours and loss some trust with such large business that don’t care much about their customer when they could have done better. In my case, they should have communicated to one another, Expedia and Hertz instead of asking me to call each one. I will try to stay away from them, but if they have good deal I might have to use them again in the future though 🙂 It’s all about price for me, unless the hassle would damage me greatly, in this case, it doesn’t 🙂
