I ordered a DVD burner on newegg today. At the last step of checkout
it said....
<snip>
"Included with your purchase is a 1-year subscription to PC Magazine
(or Electronic Gaming Monthly) -- a $9.97 value. You will receive 1
year of PC Magazine with no obligation to continue. If you do not
agree to receive this offer, you have the option to request a refund
of the subscription value. Accepting this offer will not affect the
price you pay at checkout. Limit 1 subscription per household."

[Check box]

"I agree to receive this offer and to have Newegg.com provide my
information to Ziff Davis Media."
<snip>

I didn't check the checkbox. The 9.97 was not included in the amount
charged to me.. Now the question is this. How does this work? Did
newegg send my billing info to PC Mag and they will charge me in 1yrs
time.. Or did they charge me already.. If not what is this refund
request
about? Has anyone gone through this before?

I have gone through this game before with Newegg. If you did not check the
checkbox you will not receive the magazine, now will you be charged for it.
Beats me if they sent your mailing information onto Ziff Davis.

Should be

"nor will you be charged for it. "

Happy thought for the day: does Ziff Davis Media renew your
unwanted magazine subscription each year automatically charging your
credit card account information supplied by newegg ?
 
Tigerdirect did the same thing to me a few years ago
I did not ask for the magazine or even know it would be sent.
I made my purchase to tigerdirect on a credit card I was about to
cancel. After I received the item it was not what the salesman said
it would be so I sent it back. I cancelled the credit card and about
2 months after canceling it I get a bill from the CC Co. for the price
of the subscription.
I called the CC people and they said YES you can be billed on a
cancelled CC if you bought something with it.
It was a real SNAFU and a bitch to fix. I gave up on Tigerdirect
after that.
I was getting excellent results 25% of the time, half assed results
about 50% of the time and Snafus about 25%. Anyone know if they have
gotten better?
I would guess Newegg covered the cost of the magazine unless you send
the stuff back. But I'd watch to make sure they don't charge you next
year. I'm sure someone in the mouse print you clicked it was OK to
send you the mag.
