Not a lawyer, but…
1I’m not trying to be a jerk, but as I read this: GOOD NEWS: If you spend $99.99 (or more) on stuff in this Meh-ration, you’ll be refunded $50. In other words, you get your IRK for free if you buy a bunch of stuff here. — I’m pretty sure I don’t have to buy the IRK to qualify for the refund?

You only get the refund if you buy the IRK and spend $99.99 in today’s meh-rathon.
@Thumperchick
Doesn’t say no purchase necessary.
@Thumperchick were is the official terms and conditions?
If I buy 2 irks, will i get one refunded?
@joshifer92 No because they are not for sale on meh.com
This is very misleading, though.
If you spend $99.99 (or more) on stuff in this Meh-ration, you’ll be refunded $50.
@medz the IRK is $50. We’ll refund your purchase if you spend the qualifying amount on Meh. There’s no contest or gamification at all.
@snapster FTFY
BAD NEWS: There are no IRKs in this Meh-rathon.
GOOD NEWS: We’re selling an IRK as the daily deal over on SideDeal.
BAD NEWS: It costs $50.
GOOD NEWS: If you spend $99.99 (or more) on stuff in this Meh-ration, you’ll be refunded the cost of the $50 IRK. In other words, you get your IRK for free if you buy a bunch of stuff here.
@medz @snapster
If I pretend to buy a $50 IRK, and I pretend to spend $100+ at a Meh-Sidedeal-“whatever site that’s Mercatalyst-ish” today …
[Or, if I pretendedly spend according to whatever the refunded-IRK-purchase-cost offer is …
(I’m so far today way too lazy to grok the offer)]
…
Will Meh then pretend to refund me the pretend cost of the pretendedly purchased IRK?
I’m totally game^ for this if Meh will play along.
^(Pretendedly)
You get refunded the price of the Irk, not a discount on your $100+ purchase(s.)
I don’t know why people are so confused by this.
@Kyeh If true, that’s how it should read then. It doesn’t. Just says you’ll be refunded 50 bucks.
@Kyeh
Possibly, we’re confused because it’s all unclear to some of us (in the fine details).
Or, possibly, we just enjoy being confused.
Hmmm.
@medz They need to hire you to write for them.
@f00l I dunno - I guess I didn’t delve into it that deeply, because it seemed pretty clear to me; I guess I wasn’t thinking outside the box or whatever! (Outside the Irk bag??)
@Kyeh @medz
Meh/Mercatalyst does need to hire me … and they need to pay my astronomical and fantastic rates per word.
I promise much obnoxious verbosity, nauseating “grammar”, and so many wasted/pointless dangling participles or other writerly faux-pas!
And so many other alliterate treats!
I promise to br completely-outerspace-wankers^ regarding any important or critical point needing to be communicated.
^(My confirmed speciality)
/giphy “word salad”
@f00l @medz Per word - they’ll need to sell a LOT of $50 Irks to afford you! Although you’ve been pretty silent recently.
@Kyeh @medz
I can talk when I get greedy.
/giphy greed
Irks at fifty dollars aren’t worth it — at least the last few I snagged weren’t worth even $10 imo.I guess it you want to spend $ 99.99 at Meh then buy the $50 side deal irk then it’d be free. However, don’t see anything I want to some almost $100 on here.
@AttyVette that is an entirely reasonable position to take. I missed out on the qualifier I intended to go back and buy:
@AttyVette @snapster Don’t you have an inside guy that will send you one?
@sammydog01 @snapster no —sorry I have no one on the inside ( or outside for that matter) either at meh or elsewhere . No one knows me there and I wouldn’t expect them too. I rarely come over to meh or woot either, as quite frankly, my life is too stressed to dabble in any “fun” right now ( if you call trying to snag Irks or BOC’s fun ).
THIS IS WHY WE CAN’T HAVE NICE THINGS
Meh is trying something different (I don’t like it). However, it is giving some people the chance to throw-away their money; it might even make a few happy.
But there’s always someone who wants to pick-to-death a new idea. It may not be perfect, but at least Meh is trying and not ignoring us like they did for quite some time.
I’m all for constructive criticism – CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM, but geez, give us a break with all of this negativity.
@barnabee
Rando Meh Worker: “Hey, boss. Do you think this Cyber Monday thing will be confusing to anyone? I mean, I would hate for somebody to spend $100 thinking they’ll get $50 refunded, but then they don’t.”
Meh boss: “Fuck 'em. We gotta find some way to sling this QVC shit. Got me? Alright. Say hello to your mother for me.”
@medz I like you, I really do. But it seems like every time you post nowadays you are
bitchingcomplaining about something around here.It’s getting old. Hell, I’m getting old. I don’t think the two mix well together.
@barnabee sorry you feel that way. I just need to move on, find a new hobby.
@barnabee @medz Go look at the irk link at Sidedeal. I’m sure you’ll argue that Meh doesn’t say to visit there but they were very specific.
@barnabee @medz
@medz Maybe a lot of us need a new hobby.
@barnabee @medz I should go pull out my knitting.
@sammydog01 I guess it was too much to ask to put those details on the mehrathon info too…you know, since that is where it tells people to spend $100 to get $50 refunded.
@medz What happened to your new hobby? I recommend knitting.
