Offers that are too good to be true

• cstejerean 19y ago
  As far as Blockbuster's no late fee policy, it definitely worked. I stopped renting from competitors. Even if you keep a title for more than 7 days past the due date and you get charged for it, you still have 30 days to return it for a full refund minus the $1.95 (i believe) restocking fee. This is far better than keeping something for a couple of days past the due date in most other places. But I agree with the rest, while I would like to see awesome offers with no fine print chances are I might not believe them. The "it's too good to be true" policy has worked out too many times for me in the past to start ignoring it all of a sudden.

    <..while I would like to see awesome offers with no fine print chances are I might not believe them.> Obviously, that's my point. And where I believe opportunity lies. Why you'd never want to foolishly leave critical caveats and limitations outside of your offers, we need to be cognizant that each element of fine print moves us closer to offering nothing more than a trick or gimmick. Food for thought.
