Topic Wiki

This thread is to discuss whether people feel that something is unethical, not to find out what the law*/T&C says.

Any Halachic questions should be posted here.

*According to CountValentine this includes religion, but unfortunately for him, the general consensus is that religion will always be entwined in this thread.

*Hint* If you have to ask, It's most likely not ethical.

Paying with a voucher is no different than paying with cash, and should be fully reimbursed.

If I got targted 60k hilton after 750 spend. It expired 3 days before I applied for 50k after 1k spend. I sm them for the 60k after 750. Right now I only spent 750 and I am waiting for them to get back to me (faxed in the offer). So if they honor it I might get double dipped. Should I spend now the extra 250 so it wont double dip or just enjoy?

Is it ethical?

I called a company to complain about not receiving a credit for a return that I thought I made through UPS. They issued a credit for me after some back and forth. I checked my trunk the next day and found the return. I was so positive I had returned the item 3 weeks before. Should I send it in anyways? Can I keep it?

How would this not be stealing?

I think t might be, hence the question.

Perhaps sending it back will just result in it getting "lost" in a warehouse somewhere due to the refund being credited and the case closed. Just wanted to hear others opinions.

They gave you credit based on the fact that you returned it. If that 'fact' wasn't true, then what's the question??
