Infogoround.com For No Cost

I signed up for infogoround.com a few months ago.  I was looking at hiring out some writing and thought I would try this because it might be easier than dealing with a bunch of writers.

It is kind of an interesting program, on the plus side there are currently about 600 articles to choose from.  At first this sounds like a lot but most of the articles are written on topics that are very diverse.  

So if you have a business website and your looking for articles that are relevant to what your site is about there may only be a hand full. All the articles about dogs, women’s shoes, and eating healthy will do you no good.  Unless you have some really tricky way of working them into your business site.

When you sign up, the sign up page says:

• How To Get Everything You've Just Read About For No Cost!


• ...You may submit up to 1 article (400 word minimum) for each or any month of your IGR membership.  For any month during which you choose to write and submit an acceptable article, we'll issue a full rebate on your membership fee for that period - making your IGR membership completely free.

This is where I have a problem, I guess I have been running into a lot of misleading advertising on the internet lately, maybe I should be expected it because it sells.

But that does not make me feel any better about it.  Anyway, I signed up and I wrote one article each month.  I have made 3 payments and I am 2 weeks away from making my 4th payment. And I have received nothing in the way of my full rebate, I wrote an email and asked if this was how it was suppose to work, they answered and said your right on schedule.

So, what actually happens is you make 4 payments and they give you the 4th payment back. Then after that if you discontinue your membership you no longer qualify to receive payments.  So their statement that you get everything for no cost is not true, you make 3 or 4 payments then you get one back.  

Could they charge you 6 payments then refund one and call it No Cost? How about 12 payments?

I think not paying for 3 payments, and they are really stretching the heck out of the truth, at 4 payments they are misleading you. I could be wrong it could be 5 or 6 before I am being misleading.
