PointClick and Onvia is Working!

DO NOT PURCHASE FROM ONVIA WITH THE HOPES OF GETTING REIMBURSED FROM POINTCLICK OUTSIDE OF THEIR DESIGNATED TIME!!!

I wrote:

Hello,
I was about to check out from onvia this morning when it was taken off the site. If I continue with my order today will I still get 10% off or do I have to wait until tomorrow morning to order?

Thanks.

David,

Thank you for your email. Onvia.com is only on in the mornings and you must wait until tomorrow morning to access the site, purchase and request a reimbursement.

Sincerely,
PointClick Customer Support

Granted, you may get lucky and they may actually send your check with the reimbursement and the email i got it just to scare people...but I wouldn't mess with it over waiting a few hours (16 hours from now you can order from onvia and get 10% off...starts at 6AM).

Hope this clears up the speculation.

I don't think PointClick cares about when have you ordered from onvia.com, as long as it's on their list. They can't check if it's exactly at 6AM MST.

I submitted a request and didn't send in the receipt, yet got approved!! But I'll cancel it anyway, cause I entered the wrong amount.

PointClick could check it if they wanted to. Nobody ever said to enter your order at 6am MST or 8am EST exactly. There's a window of opportunity for a couple of hours. The point is why risk it if you could do it again tomorrow morning.

Pls don't screw Pointclick on Onvia deal.
This is a great deal 10% off on Onvia,
what is so hard to click thru Pointclick
when you want to get the discount ?
(ok maybe you have to wake up early
6am depending on where you are, but
it is 10% off).
Some said that if you don't get thru
pointclick, they won't be able to claim
the reimbursement from Onvia, although
Pointclick probably won't get thru all the problem
not reimbursing Pointclick members (so Pointclick
got screwed, and if you all keep doing this, don't
be surprised if one day Onvia is no longer
listed in the reimbursement site).

Doing this, will help Onvia stays on
Poinclick and help US (the customers)
get the GREAT deal.
Onvia is one of the best online site.

Well said ccc,Follow the rules and you will be reimbursed.I've never had a problem with not getting checks.

ccc, exactly. Wait a few more hours and order it the following morning...1 day isn't gonna make or break you (if it does...you are extremely sad). For all the people not waiting and doing it in an undesignated time, you are just ruining it for all of the rule abiding members here! :|

BTW, Pointclick may know when you ordered by looking in the confirmation email you have to send, I dunno about onvia, but some stores state what time the order was placed.

I'm waking up at 6AM tomorrow to order it then do pointclick, then I am going back to sleep.
