Nope, and surely won't either.

The site says
How does it(Fatpeas) all work
It's really quite simple. Our retail partners are prepared to share a percentage of their marketing budget to secure your business.

When you shop using our links, we receive a sales commission. We pass ALL of this commission back to you making us the highest paying cashback site in the US.
This seems like a rather silly 'claim'

$5 subscription held annually from your Fatpeas earnings - never charged.
What???? Does that make any sense to anyone? I don't understand.

Here is a quote from a member...
This is the best site. I get 100% cashback on the best deals and I'm paid on time, everytime.
Duh...I guess everything is then FREE all of the time...huh?
What am I missing?

I think what they are trying to say is that they keep 5 bucks of your earnings every year, but if you don't make 5 bucks they won't charge you the difference.
For example, say you "earn" 8 dollars in the first year, you'll get a check for 3 dollars.
The second year you only make 1 dollar. They'll keep the dollar but won't charge you the extra 4.

They probably also make money by selling your personal information and shopping habits. If you sign up, be ready to receive a lot of spam to your email and a lot of phone calls from solicitors.

One of my favorites! My favorite in the whole site is the fountain/falls made of copper pipe and old faucets. What makes it twice as nice are all the fake fish and other junk that surrounds the pool. I've taken lots of inspiration from this site. Nell

The active insecticide in this preparation is Imidacloprid. This is the same ingredient in the topical "topspot" flea and tick preparations (like Advantage and Advantix) used on dogs. This ingredient is toxic to cats. This insecticide is also marketed under the names "Marathon" and "Merit". One is for home gardening use on ornamentals, the other is for professional nursery use. I forgot which is which, both are VERY expensive. This is also the same ingredient Bayer puts into their "Rose and Flower care". The Rose and Flower preparation also has a fertilizer component, because it has been shown that the simultaneous application of a nitrogen fertilizer aids plants in uptaking the insecticide. The rose prep also has a second, different insecticide added. That is basically the ONLY difference between the tree and shrub prep and the flower and rose prep, except for a very very important difference: CONCENTRATION. The tree and shrub prep is over 4 times stronger than the rose and flower prep. You have to pay attention to how you are diluting it. I have used both of these products for scale and mealybug on heliconias, calatheas and gingers and frankly been very disappointed in their ability to get rid of these 2 predators. I have found that using something non-toxic like Neem Oil has worked 100 times better than this particular Bayer insecticide.

Thanks for your comments! I'm putting together a draft/test invitation for an upcoming performance and will try it out on a few chorus members. I'm using evite, and so far it seems pretty straightforward. I am having a bit of trouble figuring out what the "reply style" settings do, but I'm sure that will be more obvious once I send the invitation and receive responses. roselvr--We all share our email addresses already, so I don't think there are any privacy issues. We send each other mass email all the time, and we rarely use BCC. Our chorus is somewhat "closed" to outsiders; we don't communicate with the public through email (just through song!).

Has anyone used Biyork flooring before?

Roxanne I'm sorry you're in the same boat. They are no longer responding to emails and have basically used the report their former claims person put on about our vacuum and standing behind that for any issues. We've moved Beyond The White surface scratches, we actually have cracks that are starting to appear, in addition to the delaminating planks, and now we're seeing some of the peeling or stain dropouts like Kathy has. If they seriously want to stand behind a vacuum causing all of this damage to engineered hardwood, what does it say about their product? Funnily enough, they included a paragraph in their warranty with regards to vacuums after our issues cropped up. Unfortunately for them, it's not the warranty that was in place when we purchased the product. Their customer service is absolutely non-existent. The warranty isn't worth the paper it's printed on and they're flooring is absolutely abhorrent.

Some people come on here and say that they really appreciate the payback that they get when using their credit card.

Which many other posters don't seem to disparage.

But which bugs me, a cash customer, somewhat, as the stores must raise their prices in order to pay not only the credit card company's fee, but the additional amount charged in order to pay the cashback ... and which I also help pay for.

What's the difference, here?

Though I don't see how, when you, if you are affiliated with fat peas, use the store, that the store knows about the relatonship relative to your purchases ... and chooses to pay the commission to fatpeas: how does fat peas know about the sale, and that they are being stiffed, should the store not choose to pay? Does the affiliated customer pay through fatpeas? Put in an order and pay through them?

Which would make them just another credit card issuing co., wouldn't it?

Which curve in this road did I miss? [Landed in a soft ditch ... no damage to the car ... but I had to get tow truck to pull me out].
