Complaint 36271 Details

On 10/13/11 at around 4:30 am I called and spoke with a young girl named Kim about this package. After being told that I qualified for $2500 in savings and a $50.00 gas "card" I agreed to send them $19.95. I recieved my "package" yesterday 11/15/11 and was disappointed to say the least. I can print coupons from numerous websites for free and the gas "card" is a total scam.It comes in two $25.00 rebates. You have to print a "Rebate Program Starter Form" fill it out and mail this along with $5.00 registration fee that will be returned to you with your final $25.00 rebate that you "earn".The form allows you to choose your "favorite" gas station chain from a list of available providers.You will then recieve your redemption packet that includes a Gift card order form...now get this....YOU HAVE TO ORDER A MINIMUM OF $150.00 IN GIFT CARDS TO QUALIFY FOR YOUR $25.00 REBATE and then repeat the above to get your second $25.00 rebate for gas. You also have to save the receipts from your purchases with the gift cards totaling the amount of $150.00 and send them in before they will even send you the rebate. REALLY? I called 800-520-7034 today at 2:32 pm and with no questions asked was told that I would recieve a refund within 2-5 business days and a receipt of that refund sent to my email. Now I guess I will wait and see if they can at least be honest about one thing they are representing to the public consumer.
