looks like the 10 gift coupon doesn't work anymore at ebgames.com

CAGiversary!
they just went back on one of my order and removed the 10 dollar deal and charged me more than what I orignally agreed to :( I hope they won't do this for my other orders with the coupons, else I have to mail back all of them.
 
10 dollar deal?

BTW, if they change the price from what shows on the order confirmation/reciept page, I'd be all over their ass.
 
That is messed up..if they don't want to allow you to use a coupon code it shouldn't allowed to be activated from the start!! They should NOT be able to make you think you are paying for one thing, and then get charged more....
 
I might be having the same problems. When I first ordered it came to .98 and the oder confirmation email also said .98 cents. Then then today I got the shipping confirmation email and it said 10.98, but I'm hoping that since it was just the shiping email they didn't take off the coupon.
 
No..but when your placing an order and your expecting to get "x" amount of items for "$x".. that is what you should get when you review the order and hit "CONFIRM". I honestly don't believe they have the right to charge you that $10 back. Again, if it is something such as using the code too many times, well you need to be signed in anyway to check out.. so it should KNOW the coupon code and have it not work when you try an activate it. Or even at the end of the order have us be told that we may no longer use a $10 voucher BEFORE we hit that "Complete Order" button.

That's just me and my 2 cents.
 
I'm not entirely pissed because Rygar for $10 is still a good deal. Plus I didn't order like 13 times in one day using different coupons so I don't know how they are distinguising between those who may have valid coupons and those who may not.
 
all 6 of my orderes are still showing normal pricing, i agree they shouldnt charge you, im pretty sure its illegal..i think they should notify people and give them the option to cancel the order

When you got your shipping confirmation email the price was the same as the order conf.?
 
yes they all shipped the day after i ordered and all of them were -$10 so if they charge me more im going right to my bank with those e-mails

Exactly! And you are right.. if they aren't going to allow you to get the $10 off then they really need to e-mail us and say "Um hey.. NO!"" and ask us if we want tp keep the order or not..
 
I don't see where you guys are seeing the price on your shipping confirmation e-mails. I get e-mails like this...

So it makes me wonder..

Yetserday I checked my account and I noticed I was $10 short. Which obviously turned out to be from this. I got paid last night (direct deposit) so I ordered some more games..and nothing has been charged to my account yet. (Speaking every game AFTER Viewtiful Joe.. that's the last game I was charged for) But anyway, I noticed something in my account and I noticed I am ROUGHLY $20 (to a point where it may even be exactly..) OVER. So.. even if they did give me my $10 back.. I wonder where the rest came from. I don't think it was the $25..
Also, about VJ.. my order apparently shipped.. even when I emailed them asking "WTF" about whats goin on with the $10. They haven't responded. I'll keep an eye out on my bank statement and see if I am charged $14.99 or $24.99.. because I confirmed my order to be at $14.99

I'll just have to wait and see really :)
 
Cmosfm, we are talking about the email that you get within the first few minutes of when you make your order. They send you a mail telling you what you ordered, how much, and how much you will be charged.
 
They can't charge you for more than you authorized on your credit card. You have a legitimate case against EBgames. Contact EBgames first, then your credit card company if that fails. Keep the original receipts as proof.
 
My last order for alter echo purchase confirmation page was .98 total for the game and gift wrap, now they charged my CC 10.98. that is not right. I am going to call the CC and do a charge back.
 
Just called my credit card and all 12 of my orders are priced correctly with te 10.00 off.

Don't think they can place another charge on my card can they?

im sure they could, since they have your info...but if they did you'd have a very nice lawsuit
 
lmao, EBgames gone crazy. Some people getting charged more, some not getting charged, and here I am with $20 magically from no where.

:lol: Good times
 
It shuoldbe ILLEGAL? Are you insane? You jipped Reservation Rewards of several coupons and you're complaining when they null them? Ridiculous.
 
How is it a scam, exactly?

I mean, I buy a game from EBgames.com and they have that little "Claim your reward" link, I follow it and get the ten bucks. Wash. Rinse. Repeat.

It isn't a scam because I'm doing exactly what they're advertising. I'm claiming my free gift. Does it say anywhere "limit one per person?"
 
Oh. Shit.

Just checked the two orders I placed with the coupon, and both of them have been jacked up in price ten bucks.

I emailed EBgames...
 
Well if they limit "One Per Household", not for nothing, but they really should do something better then charge us $10 AFTER our confirmations because they allow us to get the code again after we get it once. So yeah, it really is on them for allowing us to get the code after each time we make a purchase.
 
What I think is that they just recently caught on, and those who are still using them now are getting the prices raised to normal. Those who used them a few days ago will get there items at the price after the coupon. I don't think EB has the balls to recharge our cards after they've already shipped.

Then what they should have done is sent emails to the people who they raised the price for and cancelled their orders. Regardless of how much they got ripped off, it's ILLEGAL to charge more than the original payment. It's their fault for not creating a system that only let's you register for the reward once.

Thank You. Couldn't agree more.
 
LMAO, I just checked my orders. They just canceled them on me.

I'm STILL going to have to debate the Viewtiful Joe thing. It says it shipped, but the site says I was charged $24.99..but I wasn't charged anything yet.
So I hope they at least ship that.
As well as my other orders.
 
they just started canceling my orders. so I called them to see what was up. the service rep told me *after being put on hold* that I'm only allowed one (after I've had about twenty games shiipped to me) she asked if I wanted them at the orginal price (the ones that hadn't shipped) I told her no to go ahead and cancle them.

oh well it was fun none the less.
 
Check this out, EBGames is really going crazy. Somehow they have me down for two copies apiece at strange prices.

I just hope this doesn't reflect poorly on CAG.com

Hopefully there won't be a news story on some gaming site about how CAG is a haven for coupon selling, scams, etc.
 
If you didn't read the fine print for RR, and if something is in there relating to the discount offer and 'one per household/account/email/whatever', I think EB has a very good case about removing the credit and charging you full price, since you weren't supposed to get multiples anyway. Yes, you could argue the RR site shouldn't have let you, but ultimately, if you clicked 'yes', you are saying you agree to the terms. They would not be totally amiss in calling it fraud, especially if someone from EB or RR were to wander over here somehow [like, checking the affiliate links] and see people, well, colluding to defraud, which I'm pretty sure is illegal.
Should they just cancel these orders, rather than just changing the charge amount? Probably. But since the original amount of X-10=OrderTotal was calculated fraudulently, they may have the right to do that.

Scrubking: Yep, I could see that...and don't forget, not only is CAG home to conspirators, but it *has a curse word in the name*! Film at 11!
 
exactly what i was about to say... i think they should just cancel the orders instead of charging full price. we had the intention of only paying a certain amount and if that can't be met, just cancel it. no need to charge is more than we agreed to when we originally placed the orders.
 
wow that is weird. I've got one similar but I called on that one and they explained that it took the order as I had specfied in my intial order. so I don't think you have anything to worry about.

something I've noticed so far is that they have only canceled the orders with accesories in them. I do have one game order that has been but thats it.

I wonder how long it will take them to cancel the rest? (I have like twnety more or so)

Wow I can;t imagine how they found out about this with people not taking advantage of it and all.
