Almost got $500 worth of glasses for "free"
#1
In this month's Playboy, starring Leeann Tweedon, I found a "gift card" for $500 of free sunglasses at Red Star Worldwear. Of course it is a ripoff. Free $500 gift card? The glasses must be $300 each and the cost is 9% S&H. Still...

So I went to the site and I was surprised. Most of the glasses were $120 and lower. Not bad I thought. The glasses are cheap, but $9 shipped for a pair of "$100 glasses" isn't bad. Of course the glasses really aren't $100, but I'm sure they are worth the $9. So I load up my cart with 5 pairs of glasses worth almost $470 and go to check out. Way down at the bottom I see the catch, A prechecked agreement for two pairs of glasses shipped every other month and automatically charged $19.99. Nice try and I unchecked it. Price seems a little off though. They want $78 rather than $42. Turns out that even though they say the 9% covers shipping, it doesn't. I'm not paying $78. No new sunglasses for me today.
