What a great deal! Based on this statement, “You must make a qualifying purchase of $19.99 before 2/28/2010 in order to be eligible for the sign-up bonus”
…Do you have to spend 19.99 in addition to the flowers/candy in order to qualify? TIA!
Hi Danielle,
No, the $19.99 includes the cost of the flowesr and chocolate. So you don’t have to buy anything else. Just the flowers and chocolate.
Mercedes
except there’s a nasty $14-$20 service charge – so you have to spend that on TOP of the $20 – making the flower total – 34.98-39.99
Thus really actually spending 15-20 for the flowers and chocolates anyways.
i just was going to say the same thing….think i’ll sit this one out.
The delivery fee is high enough that it should be noted in the “deal.” Makes this a deal breaker for me.
I just tried this and there is a 19.99 service charge (I imagine this is the shipping fee). I think I’ll wait. Thanks for sharing this with us, though!
Yeah – the delivery charge is a deal-breaker and I feel “conned” by ebates. They got me ti sign up holding out a carrot that exploded when I went for it. I called FTD and asked the man who answered to let his company know that they irritate potential customers when they pull stuff like that.
