From Friday, May 25, 2012 at 12:01 pm (noon) Pacific through Monday, May 28, 2012 at 11:59 pm Pacific you’ll get an instant rebate for half your Station Cash back when you purchase almost anything** in the EverQuest II Marketplace! Everyone likes having more to spend, and now’s the time to grab that item you’ve had your eye on. As soon as you do, you’ll find 50% of the cost of the item (clearly displayed to you in game) immediately refunded to you… maybe you should look at another item on your wish list!
Jump in game and explore the Marketplace. Whether it’s an Experience Potion or the latest Heritage Armor, it’s now twice the deal it used to be!
** Recurring subscriptions are not eligible for the 50% rebate.

Err all your time conversions are titled PDT 😛 And in order not to make you feel so bad: Thanks for your hard work !
Interesting that they specify that recurring memberships are not included but don’t mention non-recurring time. Does this mean you can use SC from the last triple bonus sale to buy non-recurring game time and then get half of it back? Are expansions also included? A rebate is less of a bargain than the triple SC, but this could be a huge bonus for those of us who have balances on hand.
I assumed memberships would not be included but am curious as well.
So by them saying “As soon as you do, you’ll find 50% of the cost of the item (clearly displayed to you in game) immediately refunded to you…” mean you have to have the full amount 1st, then when you press buy you get 50% of it back?
That’s how it worked last time, Landiin. When it worked.
So anyone tested if Non-recurring subscription got the rebate?
Ya, a guildy just got a 3 month sub, and got half his SC back. And yes Landin, it’s so you actually have to spend the monetary value of the SC, you just are getting more digital goods for your money, but this way they still get your money up front.
Yeah I just got sub till 10/13/13 from 6/15/12 for 11K station cash so 16 months for 11K and I don’t even play anymore but went in to waste it..
Rebates confirmed on both AOD and non-recurring subscription time. Since I got that SC on triple bonus sale, I effectively paid something like $13-14 for the expansion and three months of subscription time.
I bought 2 years of game play. Very cheap considering I bought my SC during the last triple SC day. I think it worked out to about $1.50/month.
