Ofo's new way to return the deposit: if you want to return 99 yuan, spend 1500 yuan first
Nowadays, when we mention ofo yellow cars, we always draw an equal sign with the deposit. The ofo yellow car company, which still owes more than 15 million user deposits to date, recently launched a new trick to refund deposits: launch the "return money every day" activity on the APP home page, telling users to "return deposits directly without queuing up". It seems to give new solutions, but in fact? Is to continue digging.
Users participating in the activity will transfer their deposit to the "daily refund" account. Users must spend extra money in the ofo mall before they can get a refund. The deposit will be returned to users in the form of double refund. In other words, users need to purchase at least 1500 yuan to withdraw more than 120 yuan, which is equivalent to "getting back" 99 yuan deposit. This is similar to the previous game of exchanging deposit for gold coins. The "Daily Money Return" interface is divided into today's shopping, 9.9 yuan special price, No. 1 popular product, time limited second kill and large amount cash return zones. Each commodity is marked with the amount of cash return, which is not a variety of rebate platforms, or Taobao customers?
The goods in the "Daily Money Return" mall are from third-party e-commerce platforms or the fawn owned by ofo. Different categories and prices of goods have different withdrawal limits. For example, the milk worth 56 yuan is about 1 yuan, and the laundry detergent worth 55 yuan is about 2.88 yuan. This also means that users can return less than 4 yuan if they spend about 100 yuan. The cash back will not be received until the 25th of the next month after the shopping is completed.
In addition, ofo also sets a threshold for withdrawal. The total amount of cash back is more than 20 yuan, plus the benefit of double cash back for shopping, that is, 40 yuan can be withdrawn to WeChat/Alipay. however The double cashback benefit is not long-term effective, and ofo has strict restrictions on the number of withdrawals 。 The maximum withdrawal times of 99 yuan and 199 yuan deposit users are 5 and 10, respectively. When the cumulative withdrawal times reach the upper limit, the benefits will become invalid, and only 20 yuan can be withdrawn if the cumulative withdrawal times reach 20 yuan.
According to the exchange rule of "daily return of money": once the user authorizes to participate in the activity, the previous deposit will be transferred to the balance of the "daily return of money" account, and the platform will automatically give up the demand for the deposit depending on the user. The ofo platform has no obligation to return the riding deposit. Users can no longer return the deposit by queuing, but can only "get back" the deposit by cash back from shopping.
The number of daily refunds of ofo yellow cars is about 3500, and there are still about 15 million users waiting in line to return their deposits. According to this calculation, it will take 11.7 years for the deposit to be fully refunded.
Basically, it can be said that the deposit can't be returned. Mr. Dai, is the deposit going well?
