Last Year I bought a printer from Epson and got a rebate for $20. Except instead of sending me a check, they sent me this weird debit card for www.myecount.com. So when I was cleaning out my office, I found the stupid thing and tried to use it. No go. So I went to their website.
Turns out they charge you $3/month for every month you don't use the card.
I now have only $5 on the card, which is going to be almost impossible to use.
So let me get this straight. Instead of giving me $20, Epson has given these guys $15?
Idiots. Once burned, twice shy. I won't be trusting Epson for a while now. Don't these guys know it takes a long time to gain a customer's trust, but only an instant to lose it?
Those HP printers are looking better now...

Don’t forget Brother. I’ve got a Brother laser hooked up to my router (letting me print from my wireless laptop) and a Brother color fax. Both work like champs.

This has been a problem long and wide enough - mostly noticed with phone cards - that I think it has been made illegal in the last month or so. Alas, not retroactively…
