ParticipantDefinitely issue the credit card dispute. That’s about the only way you’ll get some money back. Plus, its pretty simple to do and fairly hassle free.
Go to the Sky Point Digital web site and print the $929 ad. You’ll need to send a copy of it to your credit card company later on. Good luck.
ParticipantParticipantParticipantParticipantParticipantParticipantI would say it depends on whether your family member was hurt or not. When an airbag goes off, it causes a pretty traumatic impact on the person. I’ve known 2 people who had their airbags deploy and they both looked like they got mugged (bloodshot eyes, scratches, bruising, etc). One of those guys had his airbag accidently deploy while going over a speed bump and his face still looked trashed. I worked with the group that invented airbags and they had all kinds of horror stories about the damage it could do.
Over time, technology has gotten better and cars have gotten smarter about deploying airbags. So if your family member wasn’t hurt, its likely that the airbag didn’t go off by design. The car computer may have figured that the airbag would have hurt your family member more than the accident would. But if your family member’s head hit the steering wheel, then that’s a different story.

They may have high visibility roles but they are replacable just like any other actor. The point of the interview was not about good calls versus bad calls. It was not about Cramer the individual or any other individual that claims to be an expert on CNBC. The main premise of the interview was to ask what the nature of the roles on CNBC are. Are they financial news reporters? Are they consumer advocates? Or are they cogs in the wall street PR machine?
Suppose I interviewed David Lereah and focused on all the predictions he got wrong. I could certainly make him look an idiot. People could easily come to the conclusion that he’s a moron – End of story. I’m sure people would be relieved to learn that he was replaced by Lawrence Yun. With Lawrence Yun in charge, everyone can expect better predictions by the NAR, right?
The problem is that Lereah and Yun are indistiguishable from each other. They are both playing the same role. Unless you understand what that role is, you won’t understand why Lereah made such bad predictions. More importantly, won’t understand why Yun will be just as unreliable.
