100% rebate on Spiderman & Star Wars eBooks
http://www.fictionwise.com/
Want two free eBooks? You can get a 100% rebate back on two titles at Fictionwise right now: a Spiderman book or a Star Wars book. The down side? They're only available in "secure Mobipocket formats".
"Fictionwise Launches 100% Rebate Promotion with Credit Card Purchase. With Star Wars and Spider-Man battling it out in the theatres, we thought it would be a fun idea to have these eBooks fight it out as well. Enjoy a 100% Micropay Rebate on Credit Card purchases when you buy either or both of these Mobipocket Secure eBooks!"

Amount of purchase issued as a credit for future purchase
I actually don't mind this because I want to support eBooks and am interested in these books (especially for the $9.95 total price) but I don't think they were very clear on this:
Your credit card is charged, and a $9.95 credit is applied to your "Fictionwise Micropay account" which you can use to purchase additional material.
The have a lot to choose from but I just thought everyone might like to know what to expect...

Waitjustasecondhere - that's not honest at all! I saw no indication of this. That's not a rebate then - it's a CREDIT. Deceptive. :evil:

I don't see a problem with this.
I thought Fictionwise made it clear where the rebate goes; "Enjoy a 100% Micropay Rebate on Credit Card purchases when you buy either or both of these Mobipocket Secure eBooks!"
Since I'm a regular Fictionwise customer with some pennies sitting in my Fictionwise account doing nothing, I had nothing to lose.
This is a Great deal for Fictionwise customers and those who intend to be Fictionwise customers.

yeah, right
I agree with Jason, its not very clear that its a credit not a rebate. That's a good way to lose a customer's business before they ever even make a purchase.
What exactly is "Micropay" anyway? In any event, it is not a rebate. Sounds like a "macro-screw" if you ask me.
