Step 1
It's not unusual for shoppers to get their money back on purchases that don't work or fit. But now, companies are tossing out refunds to customers for a new reason: They've lost their jobs. Have you checked out the relaxed deals on mortgages, car payments or a new sport coat lately that are among the deals to be had for customers who are unemployed or worried about losing jobs? Read on, folks, read on.

Step 2
Biggest Deals: Car makers. Zero percent 48 month financing. One company says it you don't like the car or can't make the payments within a years time, due to job loss or disability, bring it back.
Drugstores: Walgreen gives free in-store clinic visits for the unemployed and uninsured for the rest of 2009.
Men's Clothing: Joseph A. Bank refunds the price of a suit if you lose your job plus you can keep the suit. What? -
Step 3
Jet Blue Airlines: is giving back full refunds for hotel reservations and plane tickets purchased during their $199 special ending April 9th.
So what's the motivation, here. Simple! Consumers have clamped down on spending and are saving $$$. Hence, more and more businesses are trying to entice the consumer to dust off that check book/credit card, and start buying! -
Step 4
Movies: You need to think twice about spending upwards of $12 bucks each for adult theater movie tickets. A family of four could easily spend $50 bucks if includes sodas, candy and a box of popcorn so huge if dropped on the floor might cover an entire small child. I go to Blockbuster and for $12 a month, can watch as many movies as I like. Sure, it's not the new "kids" movies, but you can wait a month until it hits the stores and save a ton of money you can use for groceries. Think about it.
