Whichever, I am now inconvenienced >by trying to get the charge removed from my bill. I took their two-month trial and didn't have a problem. In fact, their advantage over Transmedia - which gives you a separate credit card from the one that is billed - is that it's hidden. I could go to places with coupons from The Reader (Chicago's Village Voice/NY Press-style weekly) or other alternative papers, charge the bill, and get the DAC rebate too. But in the end, it wasn't worth $50/year for me ... Also, I did this a year ago and can't vouch for the state of the program as it is now. However, you still have your credit card receipts to mail copies to DAC in your dispute, right? It also seems to me that you are still liable for the dinners you ate. gld -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Je me souviens ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Gary L.
