Review: Unauthorized charge from this company which they refuse to reimburse

I joined Great Fun when they were advertised on [redacted].com. The rep told me they would send a $40 rebate for [redacted] along with a voucher for gas. This was a month ago and I have yet to receive any of this. He said they would charge my credit card $1. They charged me this amount twice. I called to cancel my membership and ask why $2 was taken out and the rep made it very hard to cancel the membership, instead trying to get me to extend the membership. He also said there was no way to refund the extra $1. That is really outrageous and it also makes me question [redacted]' judgment by partnering with companies like this who make false promises and take money from people's bank accounts.Desired Settlement: I want my $1 back.

To facilitate cancellation, a toll-free number is printed on all membership materials and appears on the credit/debit card statement at the time of the billing along with the name of the service to identify the charge.

Our records indicate that Ms. [redacted] was enrolled in both our Great Fun and Shoppers Advantage services on June 26th, 2013, after making a purchase from [redacted] and then responding to an offer to receive a rebate on her recent purchase by calling a toll free number. Upon calling the toll free number, Ms. [redacted] was presented with the option to enroll in Great Fun and Shoppers Advantage, which our records indicate she accepted. According to the terms of the agreements for Great Fun and Shoppers Advantage, if Ms. [redacted] did not inform us that she wished to cancel the memberships at the end of the trial periods, she would be charged the current monthly membership fees.

Great Fun and Shoppers Advantage go to great lengths in order to ensure that an authorized person agrees to the memberships. Our records indicate that Ms. [redacted] provided her date of birth to the representative confirming her authorization to enroll in both of the services.

In order to avail herself of the promotional offers, Ms. [redacted] was required to return the rebate vouchers that were included in her membership kits or sent to the e-mail provided during the enrollment process along with her corresponding receipts. Upon receipt of the completed vouchers and receipts, the rebate checks would have been delivered within 4-6 weeks.

We regret that Ms. [redacted] did not receive her rebate vouchers in a timely manner. In order to uphold our high level of customer satisfaction, we have requested for the vouchers to be sent to Ms. [redacted] again. She should receive these items shortly.

Please be assured that we make every effort to ensure that members are satisfied with their memberships in Great Fun and Shoppers Advantage.

We apologize for any inconvenience that Ms. [redacted] may have experienced and hope that this matter has been resolved to her satisfaction.

(The consumer indicated he/she ACCEPTED the partial settlement response from the business.)

If the company comes through with what they claim to give me (the vouchers and $1 refund) then I'll be happy, but they've promised this before so I'll just wait and see if these things actually end up happening. The rep had also promised me a gas voucher and the company hasn't said anything about that.

Review: I was charged an $11.99 automatic withdrawal from my checking account that I did not authorize and it resulted in a $35 overdraft fee.

I purchased a CD at FYE and a week later an automatic withdrawal hit my account for a VIP service I did not authorizeDesired Settlement: A refund of the $11.99 and of the $35 overdraft fee that was charged to me as a result of that unauthorized withdrawal.

I spoke to [redacted] last week on the phone and was assured that the $11.99 would be refunded to my account and as if this date, it has not been.

I do not have an order or account number because I was never informed that I was a member. I had an 11.99 withdrawl from my bank account and a resulting $35 overdraft fee. I never asked to become a memeber and was misled by FYE employees.

Review: I purchased a pair of tickets for an event from Ticketmaster on 12/07/2014, and a pop-up ad told me that I could get a $30 refund from Great Fun (aka Affinion Group, Inc.) by calling and signing up for their savings program. I called on 12/08/2014, and was told that I was actually eligible for two $30 refunds from my Ticketmaster purchase. I was also told that there was an initial fee of $1 for the first 30-days and that I would be charged $16.99 for every month thereafter. They said that I could sign-up and then cancel right away and still receive the refund. Thinking that they might not send the checks if I cancelled right away (despite what they said) I kept my account active for a few weeks.

On 12/18/2014 I received a "welcome" letter from Great Fun that clearly states "Your membership begins when you receive this letter" towards the bottom. I thought it was odd that they would say it starts when I receive the letter, but that's what they said so that's what they should honor. Anyways, on 1/5/2015 I received a letter stating that my rebate claim of $30 had been denied because they had already paid on it. I called them the next day, and was told that the second rebate could only be used on a future purchase. I then told them that both the person that had initially sold me the plan AND the e-mail I had received from Great Fun say nothing about a future purchase. Eventually, they agreed to send out the second check because the person had misrepresented the offer.

On 1/9/2015 my credit card was charged $16.99 for the first month's fee, as Great Fun was claiming my start date was 12/8/2014; which is the date I had called in initially. When I called to complain on 1/13/2015 that I had been charged but was still within my 30-day period (based on the 12/18/2014 date that I received the "welcome" letter), I was told that they were sorry for the delay in sending the letter and there was nothing they could do for the fee I had already been charged. They offered to provide me with another 30-days of their service for free, but since I never intended to keep it in the first place I declined so I wouldn't end up getting charged again.

I believe it was Great Fun's intention from the start to delay and slow down any checks/communications to me, in an attempt to get my account outside of the 30-day trial period so they could charge me the fee.Desired Settlement: Based on the letter I received on 12/18/2014, I had not exceeded my 30-day trial period as of 1/9/2015 when my credit card was charged. I feel that Great Fun (aka Affinion Group, Inc.) has a responsibility to credit back my credit card for the fee that they inappropriately charged while I was within my 30-day trial period.

Review: FYE Back stage Pass, at [redacted] provided me with a promotional membership with the promotion that I can get discount in the store and after 2 months I could get a $20.00 gift certificate and cancel my account. I took the account in December 2011 and in early June 2012 I completed the form and took it to the above address and requested for cancellation of the membership. They have asked me to send the requests to FYE office and I wrote to FYE requesting for the $20 gift certificate and asked to cancel my membership. I called them again asking to cancel my membership. FYE back stage pass has neither send me a gift certificate nor has cancelled my membership and continue to bill my credit card 11.99 every month. I find deceiving business practice.\par

Desired Settlement: Refund I like FYE to cancell my membership and return the membershipfee they are charging to my account since June 2012 ( todate $130.89) and also send me my $20.00 gift card. Thanks. )

Review: Shoppers advantage claims to be a 3rd party vendor. They sign you up through other businesses and say that if you submit a rebate online from them it automatically enrolls you into their program. They have been deducting $16.99 from my bank account monthly. I had called twice in the past to cancel, believing it had been taken care of. Unfortunately, they continued to bill my account and I didn't notice. I have never received a single service from the company. They claim to provide "discounts". They have now stolen hundreds from my bank account. I had to wait on hold for 30 minutes to finally get in contact with a supervisor.Desired Settlement: I believe since I never used this service, I should be refunded from AT LEAST the first time I called to cancel the service

Review: I noticed something on my credit card bill for a few months that had some random description but always the same description for $19.99. With all of the things I get billed to my credit card automatically each month it took me a couple months to look into it and see what this was. I called my credit card company and they got the mystery company on the phone and it turned out to be something called greatfunsite.com that if you go to you can get coupons from. The woman said that I had hit the keypad on my phone requesting to be part of their program when I had called another service about something else (which she was not able to tell me what was) and that they had been billing me since 2011! Shame on me for not noticing for so long, but I had never gotten so much as an email or a letter from this company billing me, probably because they didn't want to let on that this was going on. The woman said that I would have gotten a free $40 debit card, which I never did, or any sort of welcome to the club membership packet, because I would have canceled it immediately. She said she would send me proof that I had signed up and they sent me something saying I signed up for Great Fun on 8-19-2011 after calling an 800 number to request information regarding my credit card account through an automated service. I told her I had never gotten anything in the mail regarding a free $40 debit card or anything and so they sent me a free $40 debit. I don't think they would do that if they had already as it would destroy their profit margin of recurrently billing unwitting people. The $19.99 billing started on 10-10-2011 and continued so far 3-10-2014 so far for a total of $599.70 that I never agreed to and did not know about. I had never visited nor heard of www.greatfunsite.com The woman I contacted there agreed to credit me back $239.88 which was credited back in my April 2014 credit card statement and I was canceled from their program. This does not appease me, I want back every cent that they have taken from me..Desired Settlement: I want every penny back that they have ever taken from me, and I wouldn't mind having them pay me back double for the mental anguish this has caused me.

Review: I have been a customer using Privacy Guard credit monitoring and reporting for over 10 years. I have relied on this service to ensure that our credit report is accurate and have used it to find and resolve several errors that had a significant negative effect on our credit score. Now out of the blue, with no notice (they said they sent a letter but we never received it) my service has been canceled with no explanation and no offer from them for any type of alternative service. I was told that it was a joint decision between my financial institution (they would not say which one) and their company to no longer offer this product. My monthly payments have always been paid on time via auto charge to my credit card so there has never been an issue related to late or non payment. I have never been told by any for profit business that they are cancelling a service they were getting paid for and that they did not have any alternate services to continue to make money from me. Even the cable, internet and phone companies will always offer some new product or service when something you have been paying for is no longer available.Desired Settlement: Reinstatement of our service or and alternative service be offered.

Review: I received two separate payment due notices in the mail today for a unknown company that I suspect is a scam. As I have been a recent victim of credit fraud with my debit card, I am very concerned that I am being scammed again. One payment notice says id # [redacted] for plan name "Shoppers Advantage" and a monthly billing of $ 21.95, due Dec. 29, 2013. The second payment notice is for id # [redacted] for "Great Fun" and a monthly billing of $ 19.99, due January 1, 2014. They are asking for credit card authorization to be completed mailed back. The completed form is to be mailed back to "Processing Center" [redacted].I called ###-###-#### and complained I did not order these services. I asked what these billings are for and was told " you ordered them on tv" which is not true. I asked five times what these services are and no one would answer me. I was given a cancellation # [redacted] and send to a female supervisor who I suspect is India. I asked repeatedly again, what these services where, and she said I needed to verify my name address, email address, phone number and I refused. The woman knows my name, address, and email address, which is very concerning. She claimed she would mail me my "enrollment form" as proof I ordered these services. I do believe this is an outrageous scam. Can you please investigate these payment due notices and let me if I need to report them to the three credit bureas? Thank you, [redacted]

Review: Signed up for Great Fun service attached to [redacted]. Cancelled service and was signed up for another service called Shoppers Advantage.

Upon cancellation of Great Fun I was charged by another company called Shoppers Advantage. I contacted Great Fun regarding the charges who were aware of Shoppers Advantage and connected me to them. I was able to cancel service and was told I was going to be issued a refund. I am making a record now in case I do not get refunded my money. However, it should be noted that the business practices of Great Fun/Shoppers Advantage are predatory and unscrupulous.Desired Settlement: The refunding of the unauthorized charges by Shoppers Advantage.

Review: [redacted]

I am rejecting this response because your terms and conditions which were read to me by a representative of Great Fun didn't specify an additional trial membership. If, upon cancellation, I was informed of a partner membership I wouldn't be taking this action.

Review: They have been making unauthorized charges against my bank account going back to 2005, approximately $365. These charges appear on my statement and look like bank service fees. I have never used any services from this company and have not authorized them to collect any funds.I have no idea how they got my bank information and I am inclined to contact the authorities.I do not know who these people are and I have never had contact with anyone from this company, outside of today when I received a "Membership Renewal Notice" from this company... WHAT MEMBERSHIP???Desired Settlement: I want all of these charges refunded by certified check with interest.

Review: I was told after giving them my personal information, as well as my credit card information, that I would be sent (via email) any and all information about my account and our agreement that they would charge me $1.00 for a 30 day trial membership. During which time I would receive a $25 rebate, as well as several other similar offers (including another trial membership from their sister-company "SHOPPERS ADVANTAGE"), and that I could cancel at any time during that 30 day period. If cancelled, I would not receive ANY further charges, but if I chose to stay with them, I would be charged $16.99 per month, thereafter. (there were similar circumstances pertaining to the "SHOPPERS ADVANTAGE" agreement.)After 24 hours or more, I noticed that I had never received any such information in my email. I did a Google search on this company and it's affiliate company. The following are a few examples of the types of reviews That were posted on various websites about this company and their fraudulent claims and practices:joe answered 8 months agoTHIS IS A SCAM!!! THEY ARE FRAUDULENT. I WAS ASSURED THAT I'D RECIEVE MY $100 IN REBATES IN 2 WEEKS. ONE MONTH WENT BY, I CALLED---THEY SAID THEY MADE AN ERROR & THAT MY CHECKS WERE "IN THE MAIL". I NEVER GOT A THING!! I CANCELLED IMMEDIATELY AFTER THAT. THEY ARE LIARS & CHEATS. THEY DO NOT SEND ANYTHING BUT USELESS BS COUPONS. NO REBATES CHECKS EVER COME!!!!!!!!!!!!I was very careful with all internet scams, but dont know why did I sign up for great fun.I signed up for great fun when I booked my flight through spirit airways.Please do not sign up for great fun. What they will do is silently sign you up with their affiliated company which is Shoppers adbvantage. They say first month is free and after a month the then market rate. I did not wait for a month to cancel, I have cancelled it the next day itself and also emailed them the confirmation number the agent gives on the call.I even got a response email about the cancellation and 1$ refund.I have also informed my bank about this so that they can dispute the charges later.If anyone of you signup for these services, please dont wait for a month, cancel it immediately.Desired Settlement: DesiredSettlementID: Other (requires explanation) Ideally I would like to receive the rebate that was initially offered and have my membership/account for both "Great Fun" and "Shoppers Advantage" closed, right away, so that there will be no additional charges to me (other than the original $1 that I had agreed to...

Review: After buying concert tickets online I was continually getting phone calls from this company wanting me to agree to "discount" services and receive a free gas card FREE and I could cancel anytime but if I decided to keep it I would be billed AFTER 30 days. Within a few days of the phone call received another phone call from the same company and I thought I was talking about the same service. I attempted to call to cancel the service but took me several days to make contact to request cancellation of any service I was enrolled. I am then billed for two separate services - "[redacted] and TLG Shopper". I again notified the company to stop billing me yet I am still getting billed 3 months later and now have to close my entire bank account out to prevent further charges as the bank reports the card is through [redacted] and they are required to pay the charge requested.Desired Settlement: I want the money back the company has charged my bank account and be forced to make contact with them to cancel prescriptions more accessible for others caught up in their scheme to take money from people.

I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID [redacted], and find that this resolution is satisfactory to me although I NEVER received any $25 gift card from them as they claim and when I cancelled with this company it was for anything and everything I was enrolled in which should have kept them from billing anything to my debit card. It is companies like this that takes advantage of people through their manipulation and persistent phone calls that prevents people from being able to buy anything on line and they should be shut down.

Review: First of all, in order to file this with the Revdex.com, I looked up a zip code for [redacted] since the one on their form [redacted], wouldn't work. I have no idea how this company (BENEFITS PACKAGE) got my checking information but they have been deducting $5.00 a month for years. Once I contacted them it took them nine months to send me a letter offering me credit card protection, key ring protection or a Savers Club Book? I have gone on their web site to cancel my membership, but it never gets cancelled.Desired Settlement: DesiredSettlementID: Refund

When I found out BENEFITS PACKAGES had been deducting $5.00 a month from my checking account since 1992 possibly and they would not describe what they were doing for me, I was alarmed! They told me to wait until I received information in the mail. I have been going on their website to cancel their taking money out of our account monthly to no avail. Possibly 23 years of $5.00 on month is $1,380 and could go to good use.

Review: Great Fun was offering a FREE $30 rebate for concert tickets. I was then charged a $1 to enroll, I could try their services for a month. I could cancel at any time-----I did.

What they did that was very wrong, is automatically enroll me in something called "shoppers advantage" ... I did not request this, nor would I have ever accepted this. The entire call is misleading, false and a hassle. They should be put out of businessDesired Settlement: In no way should they be allowed to do business this way. It is a sleazy company. No way should I enroll for one company and then be in another company (same address) and have to make TWO phone calls, run around, threaten them with a Revdex.com complaint to get them to un-enroll me
