Review: I joined Greatfun and it was going good, a few weeks into my membership I received 2 coupons for $30 rebates on any purchase so I sent both coupons in with the receipts and today I received a letter saying my rebates were denied due to already being credited which makes no sense since I never received the $60 from it I ask Greatfun award me the $60 owed to me for the rebates I sent inDesired Settlement: Reward both $30 rebates

Business

Response:

Thank you for your correspondence regarding [redacted] concerns with his Great Fun membership, a service provided by Trilegiant Corporation. Our records indicate that [redacted] was enrolled in our Great Fun service on November 28, 2014, after making a purchase from [redacted] and then responding to an offer to receive a rebate on his recent purchase by calling a toll free number. Upon calling the toll free number, [redacted] was presented with the option to enroll in Great Fun. The offer for joining Great Fun was $60 worth of purchase rebates. In order to avail himself of the promotional offer, [redacted] was required to return the rebate forms that were included in his membership kit or sent to the e-mail provided during the enrollment process along with his corresponding receipts of purchase. Upon receipt of the completed rebate forms and receipts, [redacted] rebate checks would have been delivered within 4-6 weeks. [redacted] previously filed a complaint indicating that he had not received his rebate forms in a timely manner. In order to uphold our high level of customer satisfaction, we asked [redacted] to either e-mail or fax his receipts to my attention, and I would have his rebates processed by our Claims department. On December 16, 2014, I received a receipt from [redacted] for a purchase from [redacted]. This receipt was forwarded to our Claims department, and a $60 check was sent to [redacted]. Our records indicate that this check was cashed on January 14, 2015. The rebate forms that [redacted] received in the mail were for the original rebates that he was offered as an incentive for joining Great Fun. Because these rebates were already paid to [redacted], his following rebate submissions have been found to be ineligible for payment. We regret any misunderstanding concerning the terms of the promotional offer. [redacted] can be assured that his Great Fun membership was canceled on January 1, 2015, and he will not be charged a monthly fee for the service. We apologize for any inconvenience that [redacted] may have experienced and hope that this matter has been resolved to his satisfaction. Sincerely, [redacted]Customer Relations

Review: [redacted]I am rejecting this response because:Please note the $60 rebate for [redacted] are not the rebates I'm speaking of, a few weeks into my membership I received 2 coupons from Greatfun for $30 off a past purchase when I sent them in and a receipt, so I sent those in and received a letter weeks later that I was denied because I supposedly have already got paid for them when I did not. I have cancelled my membership since then [for good reasons from the looks of it up] but was planning on resuming it later this year after I situate my taxes as from a first time user view it looks like a great program but obviously they need to work on their organizing, I've purchased things with the intent of receiving that $60 so I am going to need that in order to pay off my purchases you can make up whatever excuse you want but that doesn't change the fact I received two coupons from Greatfun for $30 eachSincerely,[redacted]

Consumer

Response:

Review: [redacted]I am rejecting this response because:As stated before the $60 I received from [redacted] is totally different from the 2 rebate coupons you guys sent me so quit trying to divert attention to the first deal, it's the coupons I received in the mail after I received the $60 from [redacted] that I want to take advantage of I made purchases based off these two rebate coupons so I expect to receive the money owed to me in a timely fashion these coupons came the first week of January and sent in then denied by you guys because you tried saying I was already credited for them when I was not the $60 I got from making a purchase from [redacted] isn't the same as the 2 rebate coupons you sent meSincerely,[redacted]

Response:

Thank you for your correspondence regarding [redacted] additional concerns. The offer given to [redacted] for joining the Great Fun service was $60 worth of rebates. Per the terms of the offer, members are eligible to redeem these rebates only one time. In order to avail themselves of our promotional offer, members are normally required to return the rebate forms that are included in their membership kit or sent to the e-mail provided during the enrollment process along with their corresponding receipts of purchase. When [redacted] previously filed the complaint that we received on December 12, 2014, indicating that he had yet to receive his rebate forms, we requested for additional forms to be sent to him. However, in order to uphold our high level of customer satisfaction, we also gave [redacted] the option of either e-mailing or faxing his receipts directly to me without the rebate forms included so that I could have his rebates expedited. On December 16, 2014, [redacted] e-mailed me a copy of his receipt for a purchase from [redacted], and a $60 check was sent to him. After [redacted] e-mailed his receipt to us, he received the additional rebate forms that we had requested to have sent to him. He has attempted to submit these forms for additional rebates to which he is not entitled. Please advise [redacted] that he may call me at [redacted] to listen to a recording of his enrollment call that verifies that the rebate forms that he has received and tried to submit are the rebates that he was originally offered for trying the service. These rebates were already paid to [redacted] when he e-mailed us his receipt for a purchase from [redacted]. We again regret any misunderstanding regarding our promotional offer. [redacted] Great Fun membership was canceled on January 1, 2015, and he was not charged a monthly fee for the service. Sincerely, [redacted]Customer Relations

Review: 10423077I am rejecting this response because:My problem with this is the rebate forms didn't come in a timely fashion it seems you guys wait till close to the end period of membership before these rebate forms actually appear I think that's pretty scandelous to do just so you can get people to continue your service if you do not credit me the $60 owed to me I will make sure people know about your shady business pratices, this includes review sites and your [redacted] page, you sent the forms out late? okay that's fine problem is you sent them out weeks after you credited me the first $60 so one naturally presumes that their entitled to the rebates sent out, this is a error on your guys part not mine Sincerely,[redacted]

(The consumer indicated he/she DID NOT ACCEPT the response from the business.)

I received a note from the company attached with the activation form signed by me on 8/6/07. Two things were not provided to me in order for this to be a binding contract. 1. I was never provided from the company a rate schedule indicating how much was to be withdrawn from my account. 2. In the time this money has been withdrawn from my account I have not received a certificate of insurance to indicate coverage under this plan. The company letter notes that a certificate of insurance was mailed to me on 1 August 2007. I signed this document on the 6th of August 2007. This whole process is nothing but a scam.

Consumer Response /* (3000, 17, 2013/06/02) */

(The consumer indicated he/she DID NOT ACCEPT the response from the business.)

I do not accept their response for the following reasons:1)If I signed the Activation/Enrollment Form on August 6, 2007,How is it possible to enroll/process/issue a Certificate of Insurance to me on August 1,2007? 2) According to Affinion/Hartford documentation, I was signed up for $101,000 of coverage.$1000 was to be paid up front by [redacted].Total amount of coverage was $101,000. The Rate Schedule from Hartford dated May 24, 2013,clearly indicates that for a family coverage is $15, charged quarterly to your account not the $45 amount charged to my account for the past six years. Close examination to the rate schedule reveals that a family covered under the $300,000 policy would pay a $45 dollar premium to be paid quarterly. Both entities in their corresponces have been adamant that I had signed up for the $100,000 policy and furnished copies as proof. All I ask is that the Revdex.com kindly request the agency return the $720 dollars I was overcharged for. Also,in closing, please note that Hartford's representative insinuated that the above mentioned contradictions/discrepancies were the "result of a scrivener's error." The use of this terminology only shows that someone higher-up is trying desperately to shift blame.It does not negate the fact that the proof is in their written correspondence.

The complainant should be in receipt of our response by 6/19/2013.

Thank you,

Review: After making an online hotel reservation transaction, an ad for a $25 refund popped up. I thought it was a part of my regular Rewards program, so I called the number to collect the refund. [redacted] said I would receive $25 after enrolling in [redacted]) for $1 & would continue to receive such benefits. I told her I didnt travel much, & didnt want to do it. She insisted that I should take advantage for $1, since I could cancel at any time during the 30 days, and the $25, an additional $50 toward travel, & $20 for gas, would be mine to keep, no matter what. I said no again, & she kept insisting I wouldnt lose anything. Finally, I said ok, for $1, I would do it. Yesterday morning, I got a bad feeling, & called back. [redacted] told me they only did enrollment & to call customer service at ###-###-####. [redacted] said they couldnt cancel my membership because they didnt have my information from enrollment. I spoke with his supervisor, [redacted], who said the same. I called enrollment back & said customer service said enrollment still had my information. [redacted] said she couldnt because they didnt have the information, since it was sent for verification. Sarcastically, I asked if they had someone running around with a paper & pencil with my information. [redacted] said it was on the computer. I asked why she couldnt cancel it then, & she said I didnt have a # yet. Id have to call CS when I got their info. I asked if enrollment were a [redacted] & she only said they were partnered with [redacted]. After a few tries, she said her companys name was [redacted]. I got 2 separate emails from 2 companies, 2 member #s, & 2 #s to call to cancel, along with 2 $1 charges on my credit card. I called to cancel [redacted] & [redacted] said I would have to cancel Shoppers Advantage separately. I was transferred & spoke with [redacted] to cancel that. I said I hadnt agreed to membership with them, & he said I had when I agreed to the $20 gas card. I told him to cancel immediately. They are very deceptive.Desired Settlement: As a matter of principle against such deceptive practices, I want my two $1 charges on my credit card reversed. It isn't much money - it's the principle. I didn't agree to sign up with [redacted] & Shoppers Advantage. If I hadn't caught it & called both to cancel, they would be charging $16.99/month for Shoppers Advantage, because I didn't know I was signing up for multiple memberships. I should ask for my "yours to keep, no matter what" gifts/refunds. Too good to be true ALWAYS is.

Response:

Thank you for your correspondence regarding [redacted] concerns with her [redacted] Advantage and Shoppers Advantage memberships, services provided by [redacted] Corporation.

By way of background, [redacted] Advantage and Shoppers Advantage are part of an established membership-based discount service company. We jointly market our memberships with our clients to their respective customers. We always obtain authorization from a consumer to post charges to a customer’s account prior to billing and enrolling the consumer in the services. An individual member may join [redacted] Advantage and Shoppers Advantage in a variety of ways, however in all instances the member must affirmatively agree to enroll and be billed. To ensure that consumers are satisfied, we process cancellation requests promptly.

Our records indicate that [redacted] was enrolled in our [redacted] Advantage and Shoppers Advantage services on July 9, 2014, after making an online hotel reservation, and then responding to an offer to receive a rebate on her recent reservation by calling a toll free number. Upon calling the toll free number, [redacted] was presented with the option to enroll in both [redacted] Advantage and Shoppers Advantage, which our records indicate she accepted. The offer for joining [redacted] Advantage was $75 worth of rebates for travel reservations. The offer related to Shoppers Advantage was $20 in rebates for gas purchases.

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

Please be assured that we make every effort to ensure that members are satisfied with their memberships in [redacted] Advantage and Shoppers Advantage. As such, [redacted]’s [redacted] Advantage and Shoppers Advantage memberships were both canceled on July 11, 2014, and a refund for each of the $1 trial fees will be issued to her credit card account.

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

Sincerely,

Response:

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,

Review: With out autherization the insurance company began taking money out of my bank account for the insurance on a regular basis . I called and told them no asked for this and they said they would send a letter to be filled out and the money would be returned to account and they did then out of the blue almost a year later it all started again . Called again and got the same answer but this time after filling out the forms they refused to cancel policy our bank sent them a notorised letter and I sent another one of there form letters again the next day . Now 2 weeks later I received a letter saying they have no record of me and snt a different form wanting even more information that I do not have and have never had about a policy number and group number so this time I called to let them know I was turning it into the Revdex.com , if they continue to take money out of my bank account I will be back in touch with you . How many times do I have to tell them I never asked for this insurance and ask to have it cancelled am I required to ask this before taking action ?Desired Settlement: DesiredSettlementID: Refund

$ 82.50 dollars returned to my bank account and insurance canceled

Review: Travel Advantage was an option as an additional service when I booked an airline flight through [redacted] Feb 2014 but it was totally cancelled and I didn't choose to take this option. I was billed $16.99 through my online bank account monthly for 9 months costing me $152.91 for nothing. When I called the 800 number listed on my account to find out what the charge was for I was told that I didn't call to cancel within 30 days and an original email was sent to my email and my account continued to be charged until I called today to cancel. I want my money refunded for services I did not use or want.Desired Settlement: I want $152.91 refunded to my account asap for services I did not want or use. I cancelled my airline flight and plan and didn't even go on the trip.

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. After researching her concerns, we found that Ms. [redacted] was enrolled in our Travelers Advantage service on February 26, 2014, after being transferred to one of our representatives by Allegiant Airlines. Travelers Advantage goes to great lengths in order to ensure that an authorized person agrees to the membership. If Ms. [redacted] did not inform us that she wished to cancel her membership at the end of the trial period, she was charged the monthly membership fee. The terms of the agreement provided that, in order to ensure uninterrupted service, the membership would be renewed each month at the then current membership fee. Please be assured that we make every effort to ensure that a member is satisfied with their membership in Travelers Advantage. As such, Ms. [redacted]’s membership was canceled on December 5, 2014, and a refund of $153.91 is being issued to her debit card account as full reimbursement of the fees that she was charged for the service. We apologize for any inconvenience that Ms. [redacted] may have experienced and hope that this matter has been resolved to her satisfaction. Sincerely, [redacted]

Review: I have cancelled with this company multiple times, and each time I'm given a "cancellation code" and yet the following month I am charged again. They do not want to cancel, so I have to spend a half an hour on the phone with them demanding that service please stop. I have never received any products (coupons or otherwise), so essentially I am being unwillingly charge 16.99 for nothing. I have researched online that I am not the only one with this issue. After they promise it has been cancelled, and I'm charged again, they inform maybe its from their 'sister company' but the charge originates from them (as stated on my bank receipts). I have asked to speak to management and my request is ignored, and instead spoken over with more sales pitches.Desired Settlement: I just want my money back and for them to stop charging me. I have received no product, so I do not understand why I am being charged.

Review: I called to cancel the Travelers Advantage/Shoppers advantage membership under Triligent corporation Today I was reviewing a credit card statement online and saw a charge for $16.99 from Triligent Corporation and so I pulled up an old email, actually a few of them since their phone number was not in their first email, and telephoned to dispute the charge. The first number I called prompted me to ask for an agent, which I did but after waiting a few minutes in silence, I knew no agent would come to the phone. I searched through other emails they'd sent and found a different number and reached a human. He then began to tell me I was enrolled in some program. Cut in advised I never signed up for service and wanted whatever account cancelled immediately and a refund. It took me forever searching on line to find a website and see exactly what this company was all about. I have never been on that website and I put what numbers I found on my bank statement see if any was a membership number. Said no acct found. This company Triligent corporation needs to be fined I have no idea of how long they have been taking $16.99 out if my bank account. Online there are many websites with complaints about this 'SCAM COMPANY'!Desired Settlement: I would like all the 16.99 charges back

Review: [redacted]

I am rejecting this response because:

I'm happy with my refund the customer service I received from rep was extremely unprofessional when I called to inquire about the charges on October 3 2013.

Review: I reserved a ride online with [redacted] about May 28 this year. A pop-up the came up for Great Fun. I signed up for it thinking I could save money on something worthwhile. By June 26 I became aware that they were charging $16.99 for a service that provided me no benefit, so I cancelled my membership (cancellation #[redacted]). Then 9/17 this year I was charged $16.99 by TLG*Buyers. I cancelled my membership with them today, 10/11, but they will not refund the money they charged me, even though I was not aware that I had signed up for TLG when I signed up for Great Fun. I have seen complaints online from others who have been taken in by this ad, and I just want to report that it is the nearest thing to a scam that I have ever been roped into. I would appreciate it if you could look into this. It seems deceptive to me.Thank you,[redacted]Desired Settlement: Refund if possible; sanction and report by Revdex.com at least. For your information, my Great Fun membership number was [redacted] and my TLG number was [redacted]. Cancellation numbers were [redacted] for Great Fun and [redacted] for TLG.Thank you,[redacted]

Review: Beginning 05/14/2014 "[redacted]" held 2 $1 charges on my debit card (associated to my checking account). Beginning on 06/25/2014 "[redacted]" began a $16.99 monthly charge. I noticed this charge on 08/07/2014 and called them. Through a customer service representative, I had to dispute with the office manager for a refund. The manager only wanted to refund one month. The next offer was 1/2 off each of the 3 months June, July, August 2014. I refused. The manager finally agreed to a full refund when I said Revdex.com. A credit was made same day but only for 1 amount of $16.99; at which time they waited 19 days to recharge (2x in 1 month) me the $16.99. They have taken $16.99 from my checking account every month from June 25, 2014 until (presently) April 29, 2015. This does not include the 2 $1 fees from May 2014.Desired Settlement: I fully expect a complete refund of $188.89 (INCLUDES 11 MONTHS OF DEDUCTIONS AT $16.99 PER MONTH FROM 06/25/2014 THROUGH CURRENT 04/29/2015 + ORIGINAL $1 (X2) FEES FROM MAY 2014. This amount will be increased (beyond April 29, 2015), determined by time of settlement.

Response:

Although the business is neglecting one of the initial $1 'holding' fees assessed, I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID [redacted], and find that this resolution is satisfactory to me.

Sincerely,

Review: I signed up for Great Fun on 3/3/14 when I bought 2 concert tickets from [redacted]. I was promised a $50 rebate for each ticket. If I signed up for Shopper's Advantage I would also receive a $20 gas card, so I signed up. My Great Fun membership number is 97734312 and my Shopper's Advantage membership number is [redacted]. I called on 4/2/14 to follow up to the rebates since I hadn't received anything yet and was told I would receive them within 14 business days. Called on 4/22/14 to follow up again and was told I would receive them within 14 business days. Still nothing from both Great Fun and Shopper's Advantage. On 5/1/14 I cancelled my memberships to both because my free trial ends on 5/2/14 and was told the rebate forms have been processed. I'm not sure what that means, but I still have received nothing and they haven't held up their end of the deal. My cancellation number for Great Fun is [redacted] and my cancellation number for Shopper's Advantage is [redacted].Desired Settlement: On the last 2 calls I made, Great Fun said what they were sending me was a rebate form that I would fill out and send back in with information regarding my [redacted] purchase. At this point I'm sick of dealing with them, I just want my $20 gas card and two $50 rebates in a check. My order number from [redacted] is [redacted] ordered on 3/3/14 if it needs to be verified.

Review: I purchased 2 airline tickets on 2/26/15 from [redacted] and an offer popped up for a $50 rebate. I signed up for the rebate with Shoppers Advantage. The cost was $2.00 for a 30 day membership and I was promised that I would receive my $50. However, after 2 weeks I did not receive it and called the company. I was informed that the form was emailed to me and I would also be mailed a form for the rebate as well. I did not receive an email with this information and it was never mailed. After 10 business days as promised I called the company again to inquire and the lady said I would receive the form for the $50 rebate the next day and it would include 2 $50 rebates. The lady said all I had to do was send in the rebates for 2 different airline flights and I would be issued the money. I still have not received this form and it has been over a month. I want my $2.00 back and my $100 as promised because this is a scamDesired Settlement: I would like my $2 back plus the $100 as promised because I have been scammed

Review: I purchased a set of [redacted] headsets from FYE on Dec 20, 2013 for my grandson. At that time I was unwittingly enrolled into some type of membership discount program. I discovered the deduction when checking my statement. I had no idea what type of service this was nor do I even recall signing up for the service. I called on August 2, 2013 after obtaining the number from the bank and once I realized what the service is, I attempted to cancel and requested the refund for which I was denied due to the terms and conditions of service. The rep said it could not be cancelled and that she could only send her a $20.00 gift card and my I hung up. I had my daughter to follow up with a call about 10 minutes later. The rep she spoke with did not have the account listed as cancelled but as saved and listed to receive a $20.00 gift card.Needless to say I am appalled at the service that was provided starting at the time of purchase up to the call I made for a refund. The credibility of this organization is more than questionable with the senior scam of offering services that I will never use up to misrepresentation in order to keep me in the program. I can only assume that they have some type of incentive program for saves which left me a victim once again.Fortunately the rep my spoke with was able to cancel the service and provided me with the additional information needed in order to request the refund in writing.I faxed a formal request aa instructed for full refund of all funds deducted from my account from January 2013 thru August 2013. This organization has not only failed to refund me but has not even acknowledged any receipt of my request.

Review: This company has been charging my credit card for the past 3 months without any legal or informal business agreement between us. I suspect fraud unless the company finds fault and offers reimbursement for all charges.My suspicion as to how these charges came about is my signing up for the "Great Fun!" service in exchange for a voucher to [redacted], a service that I had cancelled within my allotted window to avoid any charges, per both written and verbal agreement with Great Fun!/TLG.I request immediate stoppage of any additional charges, and reimbursement for all monies charged. I will unfortunately be seeking an attorney if left unresolved within 30 days.

Review: Rec'd Letter dated 12/07/2013 notifying me that they had taken over my AD&D policy ID [redacted]. This letter was received on 01/04/2014. I mailed them a letter notifying them to cancel my policy immediately. Received another letter about the policy on 1/10/2014 and I copied the letter again and mailed it to them. On 3/5/2014 They withdrew $24.75 from my checking account. I contacted my bank, [redacted], and sat with [redacted] , Retail Banker,while we phoned them. Their automated answering phone system stated that this account was closed. But calling their customer service phone we talked to [redacted] and after over 20 minutes of talk she finally agreed to cancel the policy. She stated that they would refund the payment in 5 to 10 days. We contacted them again today because the refund was never received and they stated that they would forward the policy for approval of the refund. JUST MORE STALLING. What has to be done to obtain the refund of $24.75 that is long over due and should NOT have been taken in the first place??? I would like assurance that the refund is forthcoming and will NOT happen again.

Review: [redacted]

This filed complaint involves money withdrawn from my bank account for a policy that I cancelled by letter on 01/05/2014 and again in February. In spite of TWO letters of cancellation on a policy they withdrew $24.75 from my checking account on 03/05/2014. When I met with [redacted] in an attempt to cancel the amount withdrawal I found that it would require $30.00 to cancel the money. Lori phoned their automated phone line and was notified that the policy was cancelled. When we contacted their customer service line we were told after 20 minutes that it would require 7 to 10 days to process the money. AFTER 10 DAYS WE CONTACTED THEM AGAIN AND WERE TOLD THAT THEY WOULD START TO PROCESS THE RETURN. I FINALLY RECEIVED ON 03/26/2014. My family was in business for over 100 years and never attempted to scam a customer. This is a large insurance company with absolutely NO ETHICS. [redacted]

Money was finally refunded on march 26, 2014. There was absolutely no reason for the withdrawal from my checking account in the first place.

Sincerely,
