Hi all,

Does anyone know whether the $10 download credit that comes with
Vision Premium pack covers the "subscription" fee for some of
the downloadable apps that charge per month?

Examples of these would include the downloadable Yahoo Messenger
chat app (which is $3.00 per month, IIRC) and the detestable Power Chat app,
which I accidentally downloaded and is charging $2.00 per month (I cancelled
the subscription within minutes of realizing it sucked... but of course
I'll be charged for this entire month).

Does that $2 come out of the credit, or is that charge separate from the
download credit??

Last month, I subscribed to the History Channel Trivia Game, @ $2.99 / mo.
In looking over the last bill, billing cycle to 11-12, it's showing the
charge, and a credit for $2.99 under the Promotions, Credits & Adjustments
section.

As for your credit, it should show up in your next bill, under the same
section as listed above.

Yes, subscriptions are counted in that "cash-back" credit you get. So
that Yahoo app will charge *and* credit $3 every month you have it.
Until you unsubscribe.
