You joined after unchecking a bonus offer, then it went through, then you hit refresh?

You make an excellent point that I could rest easier on the surfer customer service if I included a warning on text upsells. There are still banners, but I might feel better. Frustrating stuff.

That is not exactly how it happened, although you are correct that it shouldn't be an issue except in situations where a page doesn't fully load. (I don't think I can describe it in more detail without outing the sponsor and I'd rather just get people's opinions on the situation for now.)

As I just had a Time Warner service call today and they had a truck parked outside all day yesterday, I think the page loading issue which caused me to refresh was wholly an ISP thing and not at all the sponsor's fault.
