A reminder, recently many people have been asking about rebate binding issues, and here’s the clarification—the rules have changed.

The core change is this: now, an ID card can basically only be bound to one rebate relationship. Sounds like no big deal? But here’s the problem—if you have already unbound it, or previously deregistered and started over, registering a new account with the same ID will result in no rebate at all. You won’t receive any fee refunds.

So don’t be fooled into deregistering or re-binding—that’s a trap. Some folks have fallen for this, only to find out after deregistering that their new account doesn’t get rebates, and it’s too late to regret.

Want to regain rebates? The only way is to use an ID that has never been registered before to open a new account. That’s the only way to rebind for rebates. There are no other shortcuts.
