It's finally in my hands. The Western Digital / WD Easystore 20TB HDD. I'll be backing up my entire CD-R and DVD-R archive after I fully digitize my vinyl library. When that's finished, the ultimate undertaking awaits: digitizing my entire VHS collection.
I cashed in my milestone award with the company right before I was let go. $300.00 worth of rewards. I was told I'd receive them in early October, but it was nearing December, and I was still waiting. I can't even begin to tell you how frustrating it is when you can't speak to someone directly over the phone, but are told to e-mail a hands-off 3rd-party company with a.i. on the other end.
After two months of looping and repeated attempts through escalations, I finally got it. I checked my customer account to make sure they did send them, and...whoa! I have $600.00 in rewards?! Wow. Either they compensated me for all the trouble they put me through or it's an error on their part.
The HDD was on sale for $400.00, so what else to buy with the extra $200.00?
The SteelSeries Arctic Nova 1 is my first gaming headset at $60.00, and the Insta360 Link 2C webcam went for $150.00; the lowest price available for a 4K model.
I missed by $10.00, but I paid it out of pocket with no protection plans needed. This was all (almost) free. My rights to complain are null and void.
