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?
Probably not. Your card was probably not accepted. You could also try calling them via the #'s in the OP and asking them what went wrong.
If it goes through, right after the CC part you get a "welcome to teh Club" screen, and pretty much immediately get a welcome email and can log into your Zooba acct, etc.
You should wait or call them. Your $1 charges are just pre-authorizations and a lot of retailers on the internet does this and they are released back to you in a few days. Don't bother asking them to release them to you, they can't.
Has anyone had any luck returning the Amazon.com orders to Amazon for credit? There's nothing on the site I want right now but wouldn't mind ordering and returning another GH2 for credit to Amazon.com.
I'm just nervous the credit may accidentally not get applied to my Amazon account.
Not worth trying anymore. They stopped sending credit to users long ago. Now, Amazon sends the credit to Trainn (since they saw a TON of returned gift orders coming from them).
Trainn could give you the credit, but it would probably take quite a while. That, or they could just ignore you completely.

Wow. Thanks for the info!

This was dealt with in the other thread, but I just want to make sure this is ok. I have the following charges on my account after signing up with complete home:
Adteractive 0014157622266 CA $1.01
TLG*SHOPPERS ADV PURCH 800-562-8888 CT $1.00
They are the same, right? As in, the Adteractive will go away?

The credit card I used to sign up for a few of these things has expired, and now the account number is different. I've still yet to cancel some stuff like stamps.com, but since the card # is different they won't be able to charge it. If I don't cancel them in time, and the charge doesn't go through, will I be reported to Trainn for fraud (even though it isnt)?
Or should I not even bother to cancel?

Yes, that's fraud. For the sake of freebie sites EVERYWHERE, just make sure you cancel. It'd be appreciated by all of us in the long run.
Reason being the more people whom commit fraud it'll lead to certain offers being taken down. Stamps.com is a VERY popular offer not just for this site, but for a lot of freebie sites. These kinds of patterns will cause more offers being taken down OR their payout be lowered. If there payouts are lowered, then that would just suck eh? :-(
...Sorry :booty:
Just make sure you cancel like you normally would :)
I always see new posts in here, and then get excited, thinking the update will have arrived.

Don't exaggerate. Some of you blow so much of this stuff out of proportion it's borderline ridiculous.
No. It's not fraud. Fraud would be if he was still getting the service and using fake or stolen #'s. If he leaves the old card on, they just won't be able to charge it and his service would be cancelled by them. It's not the same thing as using stolen credit cards. Fraud means he'd be getting the service still, and when he initially signed up, the card was good.
I'm not condoning leaving it up. If you know you're not going to be able to pay for the service, they would end up cancelling it for you, but it's hardly a big deal to pick up the phone/shoot them an email, saying you don't want the service anymore.
It's not fraud though, not even close. The chance of Trainn or any other site like it losing an offer because of this situation is slim to none. Someone getting a new credit card and neglecting to change the # or decided not to go forward with the service and let it lapse is just laziness and silly to accuse or even compare it to fraud. I'm sure hundreds of people using these freebie sites have let things lapse and probably even more have actually defrauded.

It's not fraud. Your acct would just lapse. You're just lazy. Do yourself a favor, call them or email them and tell them after your trial membership is over you don't want the service any longer.
Fraud would only be if it was a stolen # or something like that. The expired card is/was yours, and you're just being lazy.

It IS fraud on freebie sites. It's not the legal type of fraud in which you would be using a stolen credit card or some shit like that.
Fraud, in the freebie sites, consists of a few things. Using fake information is one. Signing up for an offer and canceling IMMEDIATELY you get credit for it is considered fraud as well.
1 person isn't going to ruin it all, no one ever said that. I know I didn't. BUT it all adds up. If more & more people do certain violations of the freebie sites ToS, bad things like removal of offers or low payrates IS very possible.

That's absolute crap. It is NOT fraud. At the absolute most, it's against the TOS, but all he's considering doing is letting the membership lapse. When he signed up the card was GOOD. Where in the TOS does it say anything about memberships lapsing?
1. He signed up for Stamps.com with a legit credit card, at that time, at the time of the trial, the card was good.
2. That card expires. Stamps has already been "paid" for that first month/trial of service.
3. The trial is over. Expired card gets declined, Stamps cancels the service.
It's just letting his membership lapse. It's not fraudulent to do that. Fraud would be if he was still getting the service AFTER the card lapsed.
What if he's paid for 1 month of service? Then on the day the payment for the NEXT month is due the card gets declined? The service STOPS.
Quit making shit up and blowing things out of proportion, while what you say is true regarding cancellations etc, it does not apply to this guy and his Stamps situation. Being LAZY is not fraud.

I did Stamps.com about a year ago on another freebie site. I was thinkin about doing it again in YF360games with a new credit card. Only problem is I had trouble canceling them last year. Think I should try again with a new card?

I haven't given up on the site yet, but I am growing more and more disapointed with them as of late.
When I first signed up for the site, I placed my first order for the Guitar Hero III bundle. I ordered it about a week or 2 before it was to be in stores. I was hoping to have it as soon as it came out. It didn't show for another 2 weeks after, but it did come. It also came from Red Octane so I got all the extra goodies. So even though it took about 4-6 weeks it came & cost me only $10 (gamefly & simply you), I was thrilled. I started telling everyone about the site and quickly had about 6 referrals.
I placed my next order back on Dec. 1st. This time around I ordered a Halo 3 Spartan Controller. I was going to use it as a Tournament Prize at a LAN Party I was helping to run on Dec. 15th. Yeah I should have ordered it a bit sooner, but I figured 2 weeks should be plenty of time. 1 week to process and it would be shipped the following Mon-Tues and should be there by the Thurs before the LAN. Well I waited and waited and no sign of it. Finally that Friday night I went to my local BB and had to purchase one. I figured I would just return the one from Train to BB when it came.
I created a support ticket on Dec. 21st to find out if they could track it down. Almost a week later (Dec. 26) I got the following response:
I am sorry to hear your controller has yet to arrive and apologize for the inconvenience.
Once shipped, items typically arrive within 3-5 business days, however, some have taken as much as 10 days to arrive.
As yours has taken longer then that, we have filed a shipment claim on your original shipment and are going to be re-shipping another to you. You can expect your replacement to arrive within the next 3-5 business days.
Well as of yesterday (Jan. 8) I still have not received a controller. I re-opened the support ticket this past Friday & have not heard back yet. Luckily I have until the end of the month to re-turn the controller to BB to get my refund. Normally I would only have until this weekend to return it, however since I purchased it in Dec. they gave you until Jan 31st. Regardless I am still out $60 until it comes.
I placed another order on Dec. 14th for a 2nd Guitar Hero III and another order on Dec. 26th for the Rock Band game. I am currently at the "Shipping Soon" status on GH3. But I did get the shipped email on the Rock Band game on Jan. 2. So I am expecting that this week, but who knows.
My younger brother signed up & has been waiting for them to add the new DDR. He signed up in Dec. and when there was no Dec. update he got a bit nervous. He did email them a week or 2 back and they did respond saying they will be doing a Jan update. They said in about a week or 2, so that should be any day. But still no update as of yet.
Hopefully my controller shows up today along with my Rock Band game. And they do the update this week.

I hear you. I wait 3 weeks on my GH3 bundle, only for them to tell me that I will have to wait forever. I ask if I would receive GH2 sooner, and they said it should ship very soon, in comparison to GH3.
I have been stuck at the shipping soon status for my GH2 for the past two weeks, and at this rate, I should have kept it on GH3, because I ordered my GH3 bundle on the 7th of Dec.

I see people having a lot of problems with the bundles...and I can't help but feel like they should have saw it coming. Getting a bundle that costs 75-100 dollars for like 2 dollars? I can't imagine what percentage of users of the site are trying to get them. I'm sure no company could have prepared for the types of numbers they are doing on those 2 games alone. But good luck to all who did do it...I already have Bioshock and I just ordered Mass Effect on Monday so hopefully that comes at a decent time. It took 3 weeks (one to ship, 2 to arrive) for Bioshock but people have reported getting regular games faster.

Trial Duration: 7 Days
Cancellation Number: 1-800-724-1818
Hours: Mon-Fri - 8:00 AM - 7:00 PM
Special Notes: Like the other Scholastic offers there will be a link (https://homeclubs.scholastic.com/OIVSelfService/) to cancel your order within 24 hours. If you cancel your trial membership within 7 days (ETA for your books is 2-3 weeks. I don't understand why this is even here.) they will refund your $9.99. The 6 free gifts are yours to keep. Just return the Breath of Fresh Air storybook and the accompanying audio CD.
Interactive Kids
Cost: $14.94
Trial Duration: 7 Days (No link, you must call)
Cancellation Number: 1-800-353-3140

Special Notes: Another Scholastic offer however there will be NO link to cancel your order within the 24 hour period. Your complete satisfaction is guaranteed!
If for any reason the fun interactive learning with Dora doesn’t thrill your child, simply return the Lost City Adventure CD-ROM to us within seven days – at Scholastic’s expense – for a full refund. No questions asked. Nothing more will be sent, and the FREE Dragon Tales CD-ROM and FREE Mousepad are truly yours to keep with our thanks for giving the club a try.
I shot off an email to Scholastic At Home (Interactive Kids) to request an order cancel, still waiting to hear back before I call. Looks like you will have to wait and receive the books before you can return it for a refund. Instant Credit!

So word advantage takes 5-7 days to credit but I already cancelled and I'm gonna have to file for an MCR.
Question:
What if I didnt cancel within 24 hours and waited the 5-7 till I got credited then I assume it will probably be a partial refund from Scholastic. Since by that time it will be too late to click on the 24 hour link and your only hope is to return the items. Notice how they say your stuff will arrive within 2-3 weeks.
Suggestions?

Finally got my $100 BestBuy giftcard from Trainn :D
Heres my little story. I made a request to change GHIII Bundle into a GC a while back and was told it was shipped out on 12/21. So I emailed them last Friday asking about it since I have yet to receive it. Well today I finally got it from DHL through express shipping, according to the tracking it was shipped out yesterday from Trainn's location (IL).
So if you haven't gotten your gift card from last month, give them a call/email, they may have forgot to ship it out.
My Bioshock arrived today! Extremely quick this time, as it has only been a couple days since it went to "Shipped" status!
Too bad my Best Buy gift card still hasn't arrived, and that was shipped well before Bioshock. Hopefully, they reply to my email soon!

I joined, signed up for four offers (At Home Rewards, Stamps.com, Yahoo Success Center, Privacy Matters), and ordered my rewards all on December 29. Not even two weeks from signup to reward! And three of the four offers are already cancelled, without any issue on any of them (so far).
Again, gotta say thanks to everyone in this thread for providing enough info to convince me to try this out.

Try a different e-mail address.
Is there a way to change things around on your name & address?
For example my name is Thomas. I can put things like.. Thomas, or Tom..Tommy..Tomas (LOL) etc.
Also, for your address spelling certain things differently. If you live at "2333 Dirty Ass Avenue" you can change it to "2333 Dirty Ass Ave"..etc.
It's STILL accurate, but still different enough that it might go through.
Also, clear your cookies before you try it again.

It went through, but it seems you can only pay by check. That's strange. I didn't really want to give checking info, and the page doesn't have one of those little locks, either. :/
Now I'm sort of iffy on this one.
I also can't tell if I'm signing up for, like, auto-charge for more product in a week or if this is only a free sample.

Yeah, this company IS kinda shady. The fee you are paying is for the S&H for the trial of those diet pills. You ARE set on an automatic renewal. I'm not sure if it's a 7, 10, or 14 day trial. Basically if you do not cancel before that day you will be sent another bottle & automatically charged.
If you continue to go through with this offer, one thing to keep in mind since you are dealing with your checking account and not just some credit card--Make sure you e-mail them if & when you want to cancel and state that you do NOT authorize them to withdrawl from your account any longer. This way, in the event they do, you have proof and they can get into some legal trouble. When you threaten places like this when canceling.. you are pretty much guarenteed they WILL cancel your request and you shouldn't have much trouble from them.

I think I'm going to step out of this one for now and do some others. Are a lot of these offers check-only? Does this company have any other offers on the site so I can avoid them for now?
There's a few. This & The Amazon Diet are the ones I def know about. This is the only one from this company that's currently on the site. I'm pretty sure this is also the only checking account offer on here too.

Alright, thanks. One more question:
I just signed up and paid for the Blockbuster offer. It offered me two "special deals" that I declined, and is now offering me a third, something about a $10 CC GC, I obviously don't want it, but there's no "no thanks" like this time. If I exit out of the browser will there be credit problems?
support@pacificwebworks.com
Here's the info that I provided them:
"I signed up for the Chuck Mullaney's Ebay Success Kit and the website stated I would be charged $1.95, but I was charged $4.95. Can you please look into this for me? My username is ***."
Thank you for this. I am going to add it to the offer details.
It's funny. I haven't yet been charged from that offer. Been checking my statement the last couple days. Maybe I won't be charged. :lol: (I already received credit and cancelled that offer too!)

No you are good. The company that hosts the Blockbuster offer is just trying to make more $ off you.

Well, I did eAuction and got my credit already. they called right away and left an automated message that gave me their number and hours so I can cancel in ten days or so. Now I just have to wait until Blockbuster goes through (said 2 bus. days) and I can order my GHIII for only $15. Damn.

Hey guys I went ahead tried the remaining 2 Scholastic offers. Here are details on the offers. If you have any more info and suggestions regarding these offers please do so.
Word Advantage
Cost: $13.98
Trial Duration: 7 Days
Cancellation Number: 1-800-724-1818
Hours: Mon-Fri - 8:00 AM - 7:00 PM
Special Notes: Like the other Scholastic offers there will be a link (https://homeclubs.scholastic.com/OIVSelfService/) to cancel your order within 24 hours. If you cancel your trial membership within 7 days (ETA for your books is 2-3 weeks. I don't understand why this is even here.) they will refund your $9.99. The 6 free gifts are yours to keep. Just return the Breath of Fresh Air storybook and the accompanying audio CD.
Interactive Kids
Cost: $14.94
Trial Duration: 7 Days (No link, you must call)
Cancellation Number: 1-800-353-3140
Hours: Mon-Fri - 8:00 AM - 10:00 PM
Sat - 9:00 AM - 6:00 PM
Special Notes: Another Scholastic offer however there will be NO link to cancel your order within the 24 hour period. Your complete satisfaction is guaranteed!
If for any reason the fun interactive learning with Dora doesn’t thrill your child, simply return the Lost City Adventure CD-ROM to us within seven days – at Scholastic’s expense – for a full refund. No questions asked. Nothing more will be sent, and the FREE Dragon Tales CD-ROM and FREE Mousepad are truly yours to keep with our thanks for giving the club a try.
I shot off an email to Scholastic At Home (Interactive Kids) to request an order cancel, still waiting to hear back before I call. Looks like you will have to wait and receive the books before you can return it for a refund. Instant Credit!
Thanks for the info.
Question:
If I cancel WA in the 24 hours, they won't still ship out the stuff right?

It's funny. I haven't yet been charged from that offer. Been checking my statement the last couple days. Maybe I won't be charged. :lol: (I already received credit and cancelled that offer too!)
So that's why they're overcharging us...To make up for not charging you anything! :lol: I doubt they will charge you. I'm still within the trial period and the charge already showed up.
Did you never locate the Network Agenda info from the Grant Consultant signup?

After about a month I have finally recieved a game from Trainn. I had originally gone with Guitar Hero III then I ended up cancelling that and going with Rockband. Took a while for the whole process to finally come through.
Now I need to start getting some credits as I havent been really active with the site for a while. Have a few quick questions:
1. How long did it take for "bargain.com" to credit?
2. Did any of you figure out how to cancel the 2nd trial that "Grant Consultant" signs you up for?
3. and... If I sign up for the "Disney book" offer and lets say I cancel using the email they send after a few days....how much does it end up costing me?
Thanks.

I have 2 games that I can get.. I am very much debating Rock Band + Drums... since I already have 2 guitars (GHII and GHIII guitar) and 2 headsets..
The only other thing I'd get would be DDR Universe 2.
I played & enjoyed the demo for Culdcept Saga..but thats a $40 game. There's a good chance it'll be on sale for $30 or less eventually..
This might sound stupid but I really want to know: What's more enjoyable to play with? The Rock Band Guitar or GH guitar? (Either one of them)

Well for a game like Lost Odyssey I would wait for reviews AND possibly a demo being available on XBL. That's what I'm going to do. I have Eternal Sonata (which I got from this site) and I LOVE that game.There's a demo on XBL, so def try it out. It's an awesome game without a doubt :applause:

I tried that and it said it was already processed. So I called and they told me it already shipped and couldn't tell me why there was not a membership email. I asked for my membership info and she gave it to me. Now I need to find out how I can cancel it.
EDIT: Called back again and cancelled, told them I didn't like being signed up and getting no email or confirmation and she cancelled it. She told me to just to take the package back to the post office and have it sent back when it gets here.
Didn't receive credit for it either and can't get an MCR with no email.

It wasn't in my spam. I use the Mail Application, which is just like Outlook except for Mac, and I looked in my account and my spam every day. I searched through all of my emails with the terms "Disney" "Book Club" "Scholastic" and nothing came up. Oh well, I get a whole load of nothing from stupid Disney.
Cancelled GreatFun on the phone, had to listen to her try to persuade me about 3 different times and I kept saying no.
Cancelled At Home Rewards with automated call and received email confirmation.
Emailed Zooba again trying to cancel from them. I already received my book, so I don't expect a refund and thats fine.

Yea, there will be.
They've only added games in Feb from the first two weeks of the month. There are lots of games coming out in Feb that are not listed.
They've stated to people that emailed about this update that they combined the December, January and early part of February in this update. It looks like they went up to Feb 12th on this update...

None of those are on there. Condemned 2 is a pretty big game.
I'd bet early-mid Feb we'll see a rest of Feb/March update. March should be a good one. Army of Two, MLB2K8, Bully, RS: Vegas 2, etc.

don't sweat it, those two don't even have confirmed release dates yet, I would bet on new offers coming on the site well before GTAIV or NG2 are on there. You'll have time and the chances to do other offers.
Thats how I look at it. Those two you mentioned are the two Im probably most hyped about this year, but I've been using this site since about September/October now and Ive not had a lack of offers yet when theres something I want.

I'm actually kinda out of offers unless I do the whole Paypal VCC card thing. Assuming it works, that opens up something like 5 or 6 more offers. I have to tie my bank account to my Paypal account, though, and I'm not too keen on that.
Has anyone used a Paypal VCC for offers on thise site?

Some people have and they have stated it works. I haven't but at the top of this page theres a "search this thread" (underneath the page #'s) option, type paypal and the posts should come up.
I don't see any reason why it wouldnt work, its technically a debit card, virtual or not.

Yea, there will be.
They've only added games in Feb from the first two weeks of the month. There are lots of games coming out in Feb that are not listed.
They've stated to people that emailed about this update that they combined the December, January and early part of February in this update. It looks like they went up to Feb 12th on this update...
February 18, 2008 FIFA Street 3 (http://xbox360.ign.com/objects/959/959411.html)Electronic Arts (http://games.ign.com/objects/025/025025.html)Sports

None of those are on there. Condemned 2 is a pretty big game.
I'd bet early-mid Feb we'll see a rest of Feb/March update. March should be a good one. Army of Two, MLB2K8, Bully, RS: Vegas 2, etc.
Ah, okay, my bad. Thanks for the info.

Well Zooba finally replied after 2 emails and they said they can't cancel until I have purchased 3 books from them. I went searching in their FAQ and Terms of Service and it states you can also get refunded and cancelled if you send the first book back, funny how the email didn't state this option...
So I replied with that and asked how to return my book.
EDIT: They replied and said I could return it and everything would be cancelled and refunded. However, they said they can't accept it if the package was opened. I opened it because I knew nothing about having to cancel only after 3 books were sent. I managed to put every back in it and everything looks fine except it was opened on the perforated part on the box. Should I try to tape it and send it back or something?
Or, it says nowhere that I can find that the package was not allowed to be opened. Should I tell them there it doesn't say it has to be unopened?
EDIT 2: Decided to email them the truth and tell them it doesn't state that it can't be opened. Either they will let me send it back or else I have to look for 2 more books to receive. Too bad there is NOTHING that looks good on this site. One book I was interested in was the Clapton biography, but I just finished reading that anywya.

I am considering using PayPal or GCs in the future because of the experiences I have had with my last two offers. Both Yahoo Success and Google SEO screwed me over big time by trying to bill me the monthly fees even thought I cancelled before the trials were up. They eventually took the billings off of my CC, but it was a complete pain in the ass calling these people up, filing disputes with my CCs, etc. Dont get me wrong, I got $500+ worth of free stuff from the site last year, and 80% of the offers I completed were easy to cancel and never tried to bill me, but I think I might have changed my stance on using CCs on the site.
As for the update, I'm not sure what to jump on. DMC & Turok possibly, but nothing is really screaming 'must have' right now. I seriously never even heard of Jumper or Conflict. I need to look at when these games actually release before I place an order. I dont want to "preorder" any of these games at this point.
Just grabbed Universe 2.
Have two credits left, which will probably be used on those RB drums. Then again, maybe I will order the RB game now, since the drums aren't set to ship for a while.
I can at least play the Guitar Solo career thing while I wait!
EDIT: Just got Rock Band (Game Only). I'll have to do two more offers for the drums!

Here's the info that I provided them:
"I signed up for the Chuck Mullaney's Ebay Success Kit and the website stated I would be charged $1.95, but I was charged $4.95. Can you please look into this for me? My username is ***."
I sent an e-mail similar to this to them but they told me to call. The guy on the phone asked if I wanted to cancel, so I told him yes but wanted to see about getting the $3 credited. He said I'd have to wait to get the software, I tried to tell him that one was "electronic delivery" but he insisted that I'd get something in the mail. Not a huge deal for $3 but I may try and call back later. At least I'm canceled.

You should just have to install it. You might as well print it though, free stamps.
Make sure you cancel before the trial is up. And after 10 days file a MCR.
I just received credit for GreatFun, I cancelled it earlier today :P

I wonder if it'll be worth just waiting to do another 2 credits and ordering the Drums in a few weeks since that's when they come out.
I hope the drums won't be as difficult to get as GHIII was/is. BUT, I could just order them NOW so I have them ordered..and not waiting until March to get them :lol:

I think I already know the answer from posts in this thread, but I want to make sure- can I amass more than 2 credits at a time?
I'm wondering because I'd like to do an instant offer, get my second credit, and order GHIII, then just wait however long it takes to get my Blockbuster credit.
Also, can I do another one of those eAuction company trials, like Chuck Whatshisname Teaches eBay, even though I'm already signed up under eAuction, as long as I use a different CC#? Do I need to use a different email, or use a different name, or wait or anything?

I was just charged 3 times by this one company the ammount of $1.95. On my bank statement it shows the following IT/EAUCTION/801-578-90. I had tried to sign up for the Yahoo Success but was denied and also for Chuck Mulaney. Not sure if that has anything to do with these charges. My last offer completed was DealMax so not sure if that has something to do either.

You can get the Rock Band game and the GHIII bundle, and use your GHIII guitar to play both the GHIII and Rock Band games.
For this reason, you should not waste credits on the shoddy Rock Band guitar.

The newer versions of the Rock Band guitars are much more reliable, so try to keep the flaming to a minimum. As a guitarist, I personally like the feel of the Rock Band guitar better since it does a fair job reproducing the feel of an actual Stratocaster. For one thing, the neck is thinner, which is beneficial to people with smaller hands. Add this to the glossy finish, and it provides better playability.
The strumbar does not "click" like the GH guitars, but I actually like how it only needs to be flicked/plucked, and actually has resistance. The second set of buttons also becomes very useful on songs with harder solos, so you can execute hammer-ons and pull-offs. It's not a perfect guitar controller by any means, but it's not like the GH3 controller is without fault (detachable neck anybody?).

After they called me for the 4th time, I told them to take me off their list. They said "Okay" and hung up. No calls since! Still watching my statement to make sure nothing happens. I actually tried to buy it but it wouldn't accept my CC for some reason.

I used 2 different CCs to sign up for these (Chuck Mullaney and Google SEO) within a couple days of each other. When I called to cancel, the guy on the phone pulled up both accounts under my name and I told him to just cancel both while he was at it. He actually suggested it before I even told him I was going to cancel. "Do you want me to just cancel both of them?" :D

Cancel your trials when you've TRIED it.

just got my GHII!!!!!! now waiting on GH3 (ordered 1/1) and scene it (ordered yesterday) and still have to file 3 MCR's
whoa soon as i typed this i get an e-mail of offer completion for Grant Consultant.. that just leaves Bargin.com & Disney...
Quick question, I decided to cancel Disney as soon as I got my e-mail (about 24 hrs later) but should i still file an MCR? anyone in a similar situation do this?

Sigh, it's been two days since I did Blockbuster, and no credit. Grr! Looks like I may be waiting 7 days to file a report and whatnot.
OK, I'm in a hell of a situation here. I signed up for Bargain.com but did not get a charge on my card from them, nor did I get a confirmation e-mail. Just to be safe, I called them up and they said they couldn't find me in their database...so I just figured it didn't go through and forgot about it. Big mistake since I recieved a $20 charge from Bargain a week later. I can't log in to that site since I don't think I ever got a username/pass (my usual one I use for everything does not work). I did the lost password thing by entering my e-mail address. It says the password was sent, but I still haven't recieved anything. Also, when I go to the cancellation page, I get this BS:

Yeah so no GameFly credit yet, but the 7 days is almost up so obviously an MCR for me there.
And a quick question, what type of shipping do they use and how fast? I'm way behind everyone I know in CoD4 so I wanna get that as soon as possible.

If the game is coming from Amazon (99% of their games do) its going to come 1st or 2nd day air, most likely 2nd, via UPS. I've not had any games come any other way.
Do not take the shipping email as concrete evidence that the game has shipped either. Only once (out of about 9 times now) have I had a game arrive 2 days after the shipped email. Most of the times it's a 3-5 day wait from the shipped email. I've had to wait 8 days once, but they always are sent 1st or 2nd day air. 1st day seems to be when they know they're shipping late, but 2nd is pretty much the standard. What's funny is I live within about 200 miles from an Amazon warehouse and you can check the receipt to see when they put the order in. Rarely does it go in on the day I get the shipped email, most of the time its a day or 2 after. I think when shipped emails are sent, your order just goes on a "to do" list and it goes out on the next shipping day (which varies every week).

I'm really annoyed with this site right now...#1: Ordered GH3 11/29, got it changed to a gift card 12/20, the gift card shipped 12/21, after 7days and no gift card i emailed and put in a support ticket to see if there was a problem, then i got a response 7 days after i sent it saying: "...Please allow us to look into this further and a representative will be in contact with you in the next 1-2 days with additional information." Its been 7 days since i got that and i havent heard from them again nor did i get a gift card in the mail. #2:I put in an MCR for Bargain.com 12/22 and it hasnt gone through yet.
sorry for the rant but its been 3 weeks since my gift card shipped out, and it takes forever to get a response about it...i dont care about the MCR as much because im not in a huge hurry to order anything else...if anybody has any suggestions on how to get this resolved any faster feel free to let me know

Just a tip - when you have problems like that DONT OPEN A SUPPORT TICKET. Support tickets take entirely too long to answer at times, and your wait was caused by the holiday most likely. I rarely open support tickets unless it's something minor or something I don't mind waiting on (usually checkups on MCRs, but shipping/order issues I rarely do).
Next time email them directly, just be sure to include your acct info (email on the acct, name/addy etc and order # if available) you'll get a much quicker response most of the time emailing them. support@trainn.org

thats what i always do, i ended up opening a support ticked two days after i sent the email just to see which one i got a response first...both got a response the same day saying the same thing...i understand the holiday being a delay for the first email i sent but i dont see a reason for sending an email saying that a rep. will be in contact with you in 1-2 days but i dont hear anything for a week or more...this is a really good site, but im just having problems with it right now

I'm in the same boat as you. Dr. Seus never sent any emails (i've called twice and both times they assure me they will send it out and never do) and for some reason I'm the only person that didn't get instant credit for Chuck teaches Ebay and all they sent was a cancelation confirmation email (again asked to send a email saying I had signed up for the program and they never did)
Has anyone been able to credit by showing the cancelation email as proof of membership. I've sent an email on updates for MCR and asked them If I could submit a concelation email as proof, just curious if others have attempted this.

Call Scholastic. I filled out the form on Monday 1/7/08 and didn't receive an e-mail either (waited until Thursday). I called them up and their records showed that I didn't even order it...

12 Month Live cards usually expire in 2020.
I just bought one and it says on the back "the subscription card must be redeemed by 6/30/2009."
But the original Xbox Live cards still work so I don't think the codes really expire.

i actually tried 4 offers although only 2 registered so if i do some MCRs ill nab something else
if it says it will ship on the 19, what are the odds? obviously they're backlogged from christmas but do u think its back to normal yet or will it be a month before i see the stuff?

Whoa I just had a close call. According to my records I accidently went over my trial period for Dealmax by one day, fortunately for me, my records were off by a day :P.
In addition to that I figured I should note a couple things about the Dealmax offer. Dealmax does indeed have certain work hours. When I called to cancel they said that they were closed, but unfortunately I cannot remember the times that they said they were open. Although if you go to their site, you can cancel online, which worked for me. I don't know if it cancels the other offer, Your Savings Club, because I had already signed up for that trial when I did Privacy Matters. Apparently they don't automatically sign you up, if you have already used the trial before.
I would give you guys more, such as the hours and the cancellation page, but I can no longer access their site due to my account being cancelled.

I had problems with Disney and had to file a MCR. It took almost a month for the the MCR, but I finally got the credit. I emailed Trainn, and they said the problem was Disney not giving them the info.

Question about MCR: When you include full headers into the designated section, does the headers need to include the body of the email (the actual email) or just the headers?
And does it matter which email you use? If I filed an MCR and used a cancellation confirmation email from an offer would that work?

And I don't think it matters which email either, either the welcome one or the cancellation confirmation one should work.
On a side note, I just ordered GH3, finally :bouncy:

I doubt you can get credit without some e-mail proof.
Best bet probably would have been contacting Bargain.com for e-mail verification before you cancelled, but it can't hurt to try now.
