Default Does the microsoft scam still work?

If you know what i'm talking about, do they still not ask for you to ship it?

Still works sometimes, on bigger products they'll still ask for you to send it in though.

Well i've hauled in $500 + using this..
What's the limit? Last time i tried, they didn't ask me to send in a $100 keyboard, but that was over a year ago.
Thanks.

(F.Y.I office depot will take any keyboard back for store credit, without receipt.)

You call microsoft and tell them your keyboard broke. They will ask for a PID number...you can copy one of the back of a display model at OD, Staples, etc. Give that PID to them and they would send you a new keyboard completely free.

People abused the system and they now require you to send in almost all products...

any1 know any products u dont have to send in??
