Hi,
I just read about checkout51? But sounds like it will charge money after sign up if your account “inactive” for a year. So, is there anyone know how to cancel the account if I am no longer want to use anymore? Thanks.
Misty Nicole Overstreet-Roberts (The Lady Prefers To Save) says
No, ma’am. Checkout51 cannot charge you, as you are not asked for any account information. Its a rebate site, not a charge service. You can find out more about it on their policies, on my previous post here http://theladyprefers2save.com/?p=1941 I personally love Checkout51, after learning about it on MSM!
