How bad do rebill offers hurt people?

[QualityContent]

Wait...

So your telling me that these re-bill offers actually re-bill you? And they actually charge you more than the $4.95 shipping cost to recoup costs and make a profit?

How dare they try and make monies when I just want to cleanse the shit from my colon.

Rebills only hurt people who let themselves get hurt. All charges are laid out for the surfer to read before they press the submit on the credit card entry page. If they don't take the time to read the fine print because they desperatly want their berries, then really who's to blame if they get charged more than they can afford to pay? Certainly not the affiliate, not the network, and not the merchant.

What's with all the "are we hurting people" posts that are popping up lately? You don't hear people moaning about the overpriced/undervalued garbage you get from late night infomercials (Q-ray bracelets, infinite versions of ab machines, get rich quick schemes, etc.) or the countless ads for psychics and other crappy services in the classifieds in newspapers.

A good part of marketing is selling crap to people who don't really need it. If you can't handle that, you should get out of marketing - regardless of what medium in which it is found.

Steve I agree with you 100% but the issue isnt that people arent necessarily reading the fine print -even if they do, the problem is nobody is answering the 1-800#s and nobody can cancel.

Not on ALL the rebills, but the bad apples in the barrel are for sure.

Hello friend,

I no think should worry.

I think that rebill offer general charge under $100 month.

I hear most American spend over $100 month on Starbucks coffee so no think it that bad.

Good luck bro

probably the best reasoning I've heard behind it

Yeah I kind of explained something that didn't need explaining in the last post but in my opinion rebills are not all bad and the ones promoting them aren't the ones doing the bad things it is the actual company who is selling the product as the referrer cannot predict how they will treat the customers. At least this is what I tell myself.

this sumit guy is hilarious and often very correct. I still can't figure out if he is for real or not.

I love these threads. People can't justify away the pain fast enough.

Rebills are almost always shady as hell, why all the fuss to vindicate. The money is obviously worth it so call it what it is.

Hello friend,

You make point very good.

I think the more soon accept fact rebill offer is just for scam money from other to make good money self the more money will make.

It just scam little money. Madoff scam billions and still many consider him hero so no should feel bad for scam little money.

It possible you do person good by scam little money from them with offer rebill.

After get scam by rebill offer in future they more careful and maybe avoid get scam savings of life by new Madoff thank to you.

Good luck bro

Who considers Madoff a hero??

Why is it all of a sudden OK to scam people for a little bit of money? If that was the moral baseline society functioned on then everyone would scam/steal a little bit and everyone would have nothing of their own (and they would in turn be forced to take from someone else)

The fact is in marketing there is an idea called Social Proof. That basically means when you see other people doing something, it becomes more appealing to you and you are more willing to do it. I would bet that if you described how rebills worked to any of the affiliate marketers promoting it on here 2 months BEFORE they every started off doing affiliate marketing, 90% of them would say it was shady and they would never do it.

But once they get into AM and join WF and see all the people talking about Acai and rebills on here and how everyone is do it, then most affiliates suddenly find it more acceptable and begin to justify it. But the truth is before they realized other people were doing it they were probably against the concept of it and would even likely say they would never do something like that. This is exaclty how Social Proof works.

The point is that people don't need start justifying to themselves that they are doing no harm whatsoever to anyone, or even no harm most of the time. It's just the opposite. Most of the time you are doing harm to people on some level and that should not be justified just because you see that other people are doing it.

Another thing to point out is that if you asked 99% of consumers pushing rebills to promote the same offers face-to-face on the street, they would never do it. Most people wouldn't go up to someone, look them in the eye, and knowingly sell them something that's a scam. So it's pretty gay when people get all tough on here and call everyone they scam "SHEEPLE" and say they deserve it when all those people don't have the balls to do the same thing face-to-face. They just hids behind their computer and act like they are some kind of smart businessmen and try and justify everything.
