An ethical question
If you are returning a product simply to buy a cheaper one of the same thing, at the expense of your credit card company (they bite the cost difference), are you being ethical and honest?

I once knew a woman who would go to a store on Friday and buy a $200 dress. On Monday morning she would take it back, claim dissatisfaction with the product and use the store's return policy to get her money back.

She thought she was being a smart shopper, too.
