Jet sounds pretty disingenuous to me. "We're basically not making a dime on any of the transactions." - If that's how you really feel then take the word basi

Jet sounds pretty disingenuous to me.
"We're basically not making a dime on any of the transactions."
- If that's how you really feel then take the word basically out. You are making money off transactions but you would very much like to give the impression you aren't.
Their example of "How Jet Works" involves supposedly wholesale prices that somehow get magically discounted and a shipping arrangement that somehow magically works that, if you pay with a debit card, saves you $6 off your contrived amazon order...
Then it goes into a story about the guy who's starting jet and how he is and always has been a money hungry, cut-throat business man looking to make millions and then sell. Nothing about his "bio" sounds very consumer focused.
Exerpt from the site:
"Refer friends to boost your Insider rank. The more friends you refer, the more perks you unlock."
Yeah, no thanks. Costco is consumer focused, amazon is consumer focused, this is money focused and the businessweek piece is a complete puff job.
- xur17 12y agoI think the point is that they want to make all of their money off the $50 yearly charge.
