This is probably superfluous at this point, because the explanation given on the IRK page has been honed to be razor-sharp now, but here’s my Completely Unofficial Explanation Of Certain Things That Rules Lawyers Might Want To Quibble About:
Only purchases made from the Meh dot com site during the Mehrathon can count toward the IRK partial refund. Purchases on SideDeal, Morningsave, Casemates, Hammacher-Schlemmer or any other as-yet-unmentioned stores-dot-com site do not count.
If you buy an IRK and also make one Meh purchase during the Mehrathon, you will eventually get $0 refunded to your method-of-purchase, because the deal this time requires three unique item purchases.
If you buy an IRK and also make two purchases from two different sale listings during the Mehrathon, you will eventually get $0 refunded to your method-of-purchase because the deal this time requires three unique item purchases.
About that “Unique Item” requirement: the three purchases must be from three different sale listings on the Meh dot com site. (Thus the “unique item” notations above.) By way of example, buying two different items from the same sale listing (like one pack of blue socks at 2:07AM and one pack of green socks from the same listing but bought at 8:43AM) only counts as one unique item for refund purposes. (“Unique” has a meh-unique meaning here.) You need a total of three purchases made from three different listings during the 'Thon in order to qualify for an IRK refund AT ALL.
Continuing on…
If you buy an IRK and also make three unique-item-by-the-Meh-rules purchases from three different sale listings during the Mehrathon, you will eventually get $15 refunded to your method-of-purchase. This is not guaranteed to reduce your regret at having bought an IRK. (In fact, the regret is the only guarantee.)
If you buy an IRK and also make four or more unique item purchases from four or more different sale listings during the Mehrathon, you will eventually get $15 refunded to your method-of-purchase. Glutton for punishment, much?
If you buy an IRK and also make one purchase from each and every different sale listing during the Mehrathon, you will eventually get $15 refunded to your method-of-purchase, and at least one staffer will point and giggle at the list. (Presumably. Perhaps more than one. They’re not likely to be explicit about this.)
If you do not buy an IRK but you make one, two, three or more purchases from different sale listings during the Mehrathon, you will eventually get $0 refunded to your method-of-purchase, and you will totally miss out on the opportunity to experience the genuine Regret™ that only comes from buying an IRK.
Items available during the Mehrathon but purchased before the 'Thon began or after it ends do not count toward an IRK refund. Sorry, any “oh, shit, can I cancel this thing I bought yesterday and rebuy it today during the 'Thon to get the IRK discount?” CS requests will get a sneer of derision (privately) and a polite response of “no.”
Hope that helps. (Powers that be, feel free to edit any errors.)
