Affinion Group, Inc.

Revdex.com:
I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID [redacted], and I accept it. It is not satisfactory, although the charges have been credited back to my card. Their tactics are nothing less than a scam, and they should be put out of business.
The response from the company was, at best, nothing less than a bunch of half-truths, that completely insult my intelligence and dignity. I, whole-heartedly, disagree with the response that was given. Giving the representative my birthdate DID NOT mean that I understood that I was agreeing to joining two separate clubs. It meant that I was agreeing to try [redacted] Advantage for 30 days for one dollar. I did not hear anyone switch gears and throw in the name Shoppers Advantage. The representative, who kept talking over me, did mention the $20 gas rebate; but I NEVER heard her mention Shoppers Advantage or more charges. I think I would have noticed had she indicated that, FOR AN ADDITIONAL CHARGE TO MY CREDIT CARD, I would be enrolled in another trial scam. She just kept saying, for one dollar, I could try this for 30 days. Then, if I canceled during that 30 days, the hotel and gas rebates were mine to keep. Again, she talked over me a lot, when I tried to say , "NO", so that would have been the only time she could have slipped anything in about anything else. When she started talking over me, I should have just hung up the phone. I should have known it was a scam, when she wouldn't take "NO" for an answer.
As for their comment about trying to help their customers by cancelling as soon as possible, that simply is not true. The very next morning, I called the original phone number back, so I could cancel. The representative told me I would have to call customer service. I called customer service, and they said they didn't have the information - enrollment still had it. I called enrollment and they couldn't access it, although it was in their computer system. That's when I told them I would be contacting the Revdex.com. It takes threats and following through with them to get a cancelation processed as soon as possible.
I hope their license to do business is pulled, at least in our state.
Sincerely,
[redacted]

A Business (SCAM) by the name of [redacted] has been charging me $16.99 a month for 27 weeks totaling $458.00 for a membership fee that I didn't sign up for! I flew on [redacted] on 1 flight only and used my husbands [redacted] to pay for the flight. That was Sept of 2014 and they have been charging me ever since. I took over paying the bills this New Year of 2017 and noticed the charge. My husband thought it was something of mine. I googled [redacted] and there are thousands of websites and complaints with the same charge. I have called them to cancel and get a refund. They said they would cancel and only give me 8 wks refund. The other complaints said they gave a cancellation # but continued to charge their account and never were issued their refund. I called my banks fraud department and they can only go back a 12 months and stopped all charges. There are thousands of sites complaining about this same exact charge!!!! I am out $458.00 now and extremely upset! I want a refund back. This is a major SCAM! Please help and let others BEWARE!!!!

I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID [redacted], and find that this resolution is satisfactory to me.

I sent an email with a copy of the receipt to the email address and requested a confirmation email. I appreciate that they are sticking by the offer their representative made. I feel they need to train better cause as I said previously I went into detail with him over the rebate. I will not do business with this company and I will recommend that no one does. Thank you

Complaint: [redacted]
I want to reject this offer until [redacted] receives the refund.  He has cancelled that credit card, and a refund to it will not be possible. I am appalled that this company charged this to Bill's account for years.  Thank you so much for your help in resolving this matter. Without you the account would have been closed but the company would have kept the $959.93.  We are old, retired, and frugal, but easily fooled evidently. Thanks again for your help.  [redacted].
