It lasted about 2 years. Their 'tech' people are useless. Never bought there again. Won't buy there, for any reason, ever. I'll do without first.


So I'm guessing your Reward Zone account must be revoked then, lol

Yeah, I'm pretty sure I abandoned them before they even started Reward Zones. I honestly don't know. Never heard of them, Never had one that I know of. If I did have one, I wouldn't use it. I did the same thing to Sears decades ago. The ticked me off & I told them to remove me from their system & if I ever got another mailer, notice or communication from them, of any kind, they'd be dealing with my attorney. Haven't shopped there since. Haven't missed them at all. That's just the way I roll. :-%

As for Worst Purchase, never use them, nothing but lower end products at high end prices.

The wife and I have an Epson ET-2550 we both share with our i-Mac's, I have a ET-2750 that I use with my PC as it has Photoshop CS4 installed on it, want to put the new CC Photoshop on my i-Mac, but since we just forked out $4500 to fix two cars in the last three months it's on a hold once again.  I have printed over 200 Blu-ray covers on my printer and the ink level is still above 3/4 of the tank for each color.  Just so everyone knows, the cost for all four bottles of ink to refill is $60.00 total give or take a couple of dollars.  Now we have said goodbye to those over priced ink cartridges forever.  If you don't want to spend a ton of money on photo paper, go to http://www.redriverpaper.com and look for 32lb Glossy Photo Paper (item #8500), 100 sheets per box, 2 boxes cost $48.00 plus shipping.  Just a note: it does come in other sizes also.  :roll

More Printer Companies going to Ink Tank Printers, Canon now has a whole line of them, from just a printer (G1200) to the whole kit and caboodle, Printer, Scanner, Copier and Fax (G4210)  You can see them on line at Canon, or most big box stores, i.e Best Buy, Staples.  ;)
