   AA>It still sounds confusing.  Why do they say "up to $25" and then suggest   
   that   
     >e funds would be greater "if there is money left over"?   
      
   Like those offers that talk about, "Up to $500 and more.."   
      
   Or worse, like they say, "Up to $100,000 insurance coverage starting   
   as low as $20 a month.."  And later you find out that the $20 plan   
   only gives you $10,000 coverage..   
      
   A friend of mine signed up for one of those over the phone expecting   
   that $20 cost, but when the actual policy came it was almost $400 /mo.   
      
   No doubt she missed something in the sales pitch but I'd wager the   
   sellers are trained to fool people into doing that..
