I signed up for the trial the day Bargain showed up, and filled out my MCR seven days from that. I don't remember what day that was, but I'm sure anybody that signed up on the first day will know.


I will add this to the OP, but I am changing that Special Notes section. Nobody should sign up for the offer expecting to cancel that way. It's technically a violation against Trainn's terms of signing up and immediately cancelling an offer.

However, if people choose to do that, then they do it at their own risk. ;)


Most people probably cancelled via their website. I know I did, and it showed a "You have canceled" page on there. Just grabbed a screencap of it before I closed the browser.

However, I don't believe I ever received an email from them confirming the cancellation.Hmm... even though it is a "violation"... will it still credit? I might be very interested in that if it does 8-[

Do you guys think i should ask for a giftcard or my credits back?

I ordered a DDR for a present before on the 15th, never came. They reshipped it on the 24th and I doubt it will come. It is kind of rare to find on any website so i can understand their problem

just wondering if they will give me my credits back at least

I am posting this again hoping that somebody maybe able to help me.
---

I called DealMax Savings and the automated phone number told me I was cancelled, but gave no cancellation confirmation number. So I emailed them. Anybody receive a cancellation number from them?

I called Your Savings Club and when I tried the DealMax Savings member ship number it told me "Were sorry blah blah" and then hung up without cancelling it. So I called and used my home phone number to retrieve my account number. It read me back my phone number and once again said "Were sorry your having a problem etc etc etc." and hung up. So I emailed them as well.

If you try to sign into the Dealmax website with a cancelled account# it takes you to a screen to request a confirmation email of your cancellation.

question about the Disney Book Club.

if you opt to choose not to receive the books through email, is your account still active?

ive personally never gotten anything before they say theyve shipped it. i usually get the shipping email a few days after the estimated ship date then a week later they send it via overnight air.

I've ordered 2 things at the same time before.

1 came very quickly after the shipped emails. I actually got 2 emails on the same day minutes between each other. The first game arrived within a few days, the 2nd game took a week longer and arrived via overnight instead of 2-day like the other one did, but the mails for both came on the same day.

I've also not gotten anything before they say its shipped. I imagine they have a order list to fulfill, and once you're moved to that list they say shipped and put the order in shortly thereafter.

Bring on the Jan update!

Question, the Chuck whatever making money and yahoo sucess center look alike, and are by the same company, I can still get credit for them both correct? and how long is it taking from submitting order to getting the order lately, gonna go for Guitar Hero 3 with the Guitar

Yes but you must use different cards for the offers. The company that runs them is very strict on this, and I've not heard of anyone getting two of theirs onto one card.

Any estimation/pattern we give right now wont apply to GHIII. For me and regular games it's always been a week from order to when they tell me they've shipped. GHIII is an anomaly as its incredibly popular and they're still fulfilling old orders for it. At the absolute best, it'll ship in the same 7-day from order to ship timeframe, but at worst, and more likely you'll be waiting a month for it at least.

To the people that had to fill out W-9 forms last year for being over the $600 limit. When did they notify you that you had to fill out the form? Was it after you tried to Place an Order or was it when you submitted your account for review? I'm looking into the timing of how it worked because apparently I only used $520 in 2007, but I had my account submitted for review, it was approved and I was able to place an order but didn't b/c I didn't want to go over the limit.

So I guess my question is very specific, what did you do that triggered the message from TraInn concerning the w-9 form? Thanks!

yep new offers, Overnight Genius is back, thats a pretty decent offer, havent done any of the others..

they are....

prices are just the trials, dont know about full price, but checked out the trials

I dont remember, it was one of the first I did then they took it off and now its back, you have to send a CD back if you dont like it though. Its not too bad though 5-10 bucks at most to try.

Just go to the site and check it out.

wtf is it called (looking)

Rising Star

I don't know how that company works it either, they may allow you to use the same card for different services and I'm not exactly sure if they are the same company. I used different cards on both, but that was just on that day, it wasnt planned. Overnight Genius is like Video Professor (not company wise, just the type of thing it is, learn Excel etc).

I got a cancellation email from DealMax after I went to there site. But Yoursavingsclub is getting worse and worse. I was never given a member number, I called to cancel and only got errors from the automated support, and today I just got an email telling me that something has happened with my email and it was being delayed. That was sent to me by Gmail. So I went to their site and tried to select Contact Us and then Cancel Membership, but of course that button didnt work. Luckily I was able to select a different issue and then change it before I sent the email.

But my 7 day trial is up on saturday and they said it will take 2 business days. This is a load of bullshit. No membership number, phone support and online support don't work.

Any idea on how to stop True.com from billing me? They keep trying to charge my prepaid card every 3 days or so for a month of service. I haven't even used the account and canceled before time was up. They haven't sent any letters to my house but I am getting ready to contact the BBB.

Msane already explained it, but I thought I would chime in as well. They don't really notify you about the situation. After you place an order that puts you over the limit, the status on the game (on their site) changes from "Processing" to "ATTN: Contact Required." (Or something like that).

It worried me the first time I saw it, since everything had been great until that point. That's when I contacted them, and they provided me the information that I placed in the OP. They were pretty quick about opening my account back up after I had submitted the W-9.

Anyone else having problems getting a cancellation confirmation from Grant Consultant? I've tried emailing twice and easyhelpcenter.com twice but no luck.
Mine took more than a couple days to arrive in my email. Maybe four? I was about ready to give up on receiving one, when it finally did show up.

Yeah, I'll wait until some other people have done them before jumping on board. My Orange Box showed up today. That's 4 games so far.

I read in the SlickDeals thread about this site that you can do offers from the same company with the same card as long as you wait a month. Can anyone confirm this?
I don't know how they would be doing that, as I have clicked on offers I have done more than a month ago, and they don't allow me to do them again.

Any idea on how to stop True.com from billing me? They keep trying to charge my prepaid card every 3 days or so for a month of service. I haven't even used the account and canceled before time was up. They haven't sent any letters to my house but I am getting ready to contact the BBB.
The only way to stop them is to call and let them know the date in which you canceled, relative to your trial date. Explain that it was during the timeframe, and you are still being charged. They will remove the charge(s).

True did that to me the first time I signed up with them, long ago. It was an easy (though a bit annoying) process.

EDIT: Muffin, please call them as soon as you possibly can. They (True) are ruthless about charging/sending letters/calling you. My roommate had signed with them on a completely different website (I was unaware he was doing referral sites at the time). A couple weeks ago, he told me True was hounding him, even though he said he canceled during the trial. No amount of my convincing could get him to remedy the situation. He says his credit card has been charged multiple times.

Don't let it get that bad. As I said before, it is an easy fix. They were very quick and friendly to work it out in my situation. Just putting all this so anyone else in a similar situation will know what to do.

Yea, this has happened to me before with Stamps.com... I just am nervous to call and cancel, because I am not sure if they will try to get me to pay like Stamps.com did. Also, I am not even sure if I used legit info when I signed up last April... :cry:

Has anybody here had trouble canceling Zooba in the past? I tried to do an e-mail cancellation and was told that I had to order five books before I could cancel. Obviously, that didn't happen to Rig. Has anybody else had that happen? Maybe if I call them they'll let me do it?

EDIT: Never mind, I called and they did it no problem.

How long did you wait to cancel? It doesn't seem like they really have a "trial" period like the other offers.

Yikes. I guess I was lucky. I signed up for Privacy Matters and At Home Rewards on Saturday 12/29, and immediately got an email from YSC with a member number. I went on their website, cancelled using that number, and got email confirmation of that.

Assuming I wasn't somehow signed up twice (which everyone said doesn't happen, right?), I was free and clear of YSC without much trouble at all.

Did you click on the extra gift card offer after signing up for Dealmax? When I did Dealmax, I didn't click on that and I wasn't signed up for YSC. However, when I did privacy matters and one of the other from the same company, I was signed up for YSC and received an e-mail and membership info. It was very easy to cancel online. I got a cancellation e-mail within less than an hour after cancelling.

I did not click for the $25 gift card (for Circuit City.) But I thought I was automatically signed up for YSC when I signed up for Dealmax. Or was the $25 gift card a part of YSC that I had to sign up.

Good point, thanks for that. Hopefully I can put this together, I really appreciate everyone helping. Thank you so much.

So, a fellow CAG just put me on to this site yesterday, and here's the deal:

I tried signing up for the At Home Rewards, and Privacy Matters offers, but both times, after hitting the big SUBMIT button, it told me I was ineligible, or couldn't do the offer. And yet, I still have two $1 holds on my credit card, and have gotten no emails from either of those sites. So, my question is, will I eventually get something from them, or what? Seems kinda stupid how if I cannot do the deals, they still decide to charge my card.

Starting to think this was too good to be true. :roll:

If you put Apt. and a number at the end of the address line, take it off, and it should work.

Unfortunately, we were recently notified of an issue with the Guitar Hero II bundles that were marked shipped on the 20th. We were notified this past week that although the fulfillment center had stated the order was completed, the item has not yet been shipped.

As soon as we found out, we did have them re-sent and you can expect your bundle to arrive on Monday. The tracking number for it is [xxx].
they also gave me the tracking # for it via UPS, next day air saver so it'll be here Monday. Rock on. but it says it weighs 43pounds LOL maybe I got 5x hahah jp

Carebears doesn't let you cancel in 24hours via e-mail link, only Seuss and Disney. I did carebears and just canceled and sent back the package after they sent me a return label. Now that I think about it, I don't know if I've been refunded or not lol I'll have to check my CC.

Bidz is a free signup, but to get credit, you have to buy something. They sell crap on the site, and my "99 cent" item was about $13 after shipping and handling.

Had to fill out an MCR on it, but it did eventually go through.

I had to fill out an MCR for Bidz as well. The shipping prices on everything there are ridiculous.

Most people probably won't be too excited for the Photo Stamps offer, but just an FYI that I got my credit for it yesterday. It took 24 hours for it to credit (No MCR!!!!) and I ended up paying about $22 for 20 forty-one cent stamps. It's not an offer I would ordinarily take advantage of but figured it worth it given that it pays for half of a game and will make a fun gift for a family member.

The service is something like $80 and then $7 a month if you stay with it so they probably try to make sure they can charge a large hunk of change on your card.

I have gotten about 8 or so games on here. In total of charges NOT refunded I'd say I've spent about $20-$30 tops (since May). I don't think it's bad considering it's been since MAY for that kind of total, and I've gotten games such as DDR Bundle, GHII Bundle and GHIII bundle.

as far as I can tell its still a wait, it probably will be a wait till mid-late January, its still selling holiday wise because of people with giftcards and crap like that that couldnt get it for Xmas

Yeah there isn't a set time, but the last time they said to expect it around a date they pulled through, came in on a Sunday at around 10-11AM CT, as I was refreshing the page constantly LOL and I'm sure was one of the first to put an order for Assassin's Creed. So I'm hoping for it to appear within the next hour or so.

I'll be slightly pissed if the night ends and we don't get any update. I understand they skipped December because there was like..4 games released in December. That's fine.

BE CAREFUL WITH 2 DAY SLIM DOWN.

You don't sign up with credit card/debit card. You sign up with your checking account. It's from a company, Momentum Direct (Or something. It's Momentum _____ LOL) And I hear A LOT of people get scammed from them.

I've done 2 orders from this company with no problem. I honestly think the majority of people just never canceled in time or didn't follow the offer's terms, ya know?

I never saw Too Human before, so I did update my post, because I really don't follow the updates too closely. I don't even check more than once or twice a week these days, so this is the first time I saw it.

I filed my Bargain MCR on 12/16 and emailed them about 2 weeks later about something else (disney) and asked about it anyway.

No prob! I did another offer from this company, The Amazon Diet. I think I did it for Gaminglagoon. Anyway it credited within 10 minutes..so this IS a good offer.

It's just when using a checking account I would advise you to TRULY stay on top of it. If you decide to cancel ;), word of advice: Tell them you are canceling and you no longer wish to receive the product and DO NOT AUTHORIZE ANY FUNDS FROM YOUR CHECKING ACCOUNT. This way, in the event they do.. and you have a copy of that email you can use legal action! Hooray for legal action!

I got that advice from another site. As soon as I sent that e-mail, I got a response in a few hours with my cancelation confirmation :rofl: This company, so I've heard, is pretty bad. They have a horrible support system (long e-mail responses, on hold for a LONG time). You just have to be aggressive when canceling.

I might do the 2 day slim down, since I already know what to do :)

YES, Anyone that plans on doing Amazon diet, listen to this guy. I did it and yes it credited instant which was AWESOME, BUT I've had a month of trouble from them. First I waited until I got the pills to cancel, but it was still within the trial deadline. After I canceled via phone (I've called this company like 20x and their CS seems all foreign speakers) anyway... about a week later I got $108 in charges through two e-checks from their company. This caused me to overdraft TWICE, so another $60 charge onto my acct. I had to go to my bank and talk to them about these unauthorized charges. I then called the company many many times to get them to refund the charges.

Their policy is that they don't refund electronically although they can withdraw electronically w/ no problems apparently. Anyway, they refunded through a check one of the checks (the month charge) and the $60 overdraft charges after my bank Faxed them my statement showing they caused me to overdraft. I also had sent the bottle back the day after I got it and they had to wait for the bottle to arrive to refund me another $50 they charged for the bottle, EVEN THOUGH IT DOESN"T SAY RETURNING THE BOTTLE IS NECESSARY! BLAH. Anyway so they caused me to be down $170, and I'm still down $50 and during the holidays this is NOT COOL. I received one check as I stated and have still been calling to get my 2nd check to send and they say it's being processed. This sucks and I did this offer in late November and I'm still dealing with this BS. yeah sorry but I thought this was important for those of you wanting to do this.

I haven't done this one, but it says you have to do 2 things:
-Register for a 14 day trial (which I assume you dod)
-Stay a member AFTER the trial. Basically you need to become a paying member and will need to pay for a month of service.

It says you'll get credit 22 days after sign-up. So you should file for MCR say.. a month after your sign up date.

Has anyone had problems with Grant Consultant not going through? I tried it twice on different CCs that have no problems anywhere else and got "card declined" on both. I tried taking off the Apt number but it didn't seem to help. Anyway, I gave up on it, did a different offer but now have gotten two phone calls from them "following up" on my inquiry. I asked to speak to their CS but got the runaround, offering to take my CC info over the phone. As far as I can tell there are no holds on my CCs for them, but the fact that they have my number makes me think that something must have gone through. I tried calling today but got no answer and left a message. Any thoughts?

The bundle also comes with a USB hub (since the 360 only has 3 USB ports but 1 drum + 2 guitar + 1 mic = 4 USB ports), but it's just a run-of-the-mill 4-power powered hub.

The problem with the RB guitars is that the earlier batches were prone to manufacturing defects. When they're working properly, they're actually my favorite make of guitar controller by far. It's larger than the others, has larger buttons, a strum bar that's easier to grip, and the solo buttons are pretty darn useful (both for solos and for people with really small hands).

last i heard the Headsets don't work. But i never tried them.
I played with a group at a friend's house a month or so ago, and we used the standard 360 headset hooked into a standard 360 controller for vocals. Worked just fine, as far as I could tell.

Plus it could conceivably allow you to play the guitar and sing at the same time, if you know the song really well...

The bundle also comes with a USB hub (since the 360 only has 3 USB ports but 1 drum + 2 guitar + 1 mic = 4 USB ports), but it's just a run-of-the-mill 4-power powered hub.

The problem with the RB guitars is that the earlier batches were prone to manufacturing defects. When they're working properly, they're actually my favorite make of guitar controller by far. It's larger than the others, has larger buttons, a strum bar that's easier to grip, and the solo buttons are pretty darn useful (both for solos and for people with really small hands).

Yea, but I have a feeling that the new drums and guitar will come packaged with a USB hub since they are cheap to make. Even if they dont, one of my guitars is wireless so I am set. Also, I know you can use headset, which I will use for awhile, but I want the mic for some reason.

Ok, so I signed up with zooba.com and it kept giving me errors. I just checked my CC and they've charged me $1 twice. Any idea on what I should do? I never got an e-mail from them, so will I get credited?
