Read recent article on web saying new tax law has something called a "consumer bonus program" worth up to $3700/yr. What do you know about this? Implied: valid for 2017

Never heard of it.  Can you post a link to the article?

Probably referring to the debunked "Consumer Rebate Program" which is in actuality the itemized Sales Tax deduction.

Yes, that is the same group that is referred to in the Snopes website.  Same bogus message, same bogus group 'The Oxford Club'
