This review was chosen algorithmically as the most valued customer feedback.

Free Gas Central collected our $5 registration fee through PayPal back on August 25, 2008 and after 3 months of faithfully mailing in our $100 worth of gas recipts, we have received 3 emails from them acknowledging they have received our receipts "in good order". However, to-date we have not received a single gas card. Their website is down and their phone number just rings and rings and no one answers in the "customer service" dept. I understand that their website has now changed to Gas Redemption Services but I cannot get on that website either. These people should be locked up!

Received Gift Code: FGC6750667650 for $459.00 in FREE GAS or merchandise from the gas station of your choice. We had to use PayPal to pay $5.00 REFUNDABLE DEPOSIT in September 2008. We have sent in original gas receipts from Sam's Club of $100.00 each before the 15th of each month starting in October 2008 to receive $25.00 gift card. We have never received one $25.00 gift card.

I emailed them and they said they were having computer troubles, but would be sending the gift cards as soon as they got that repaired. Never heard anymore or received any gift cards.

They now owe us $150.00.

Last receipts we sent for March 2009, envelope was returned: "Return to Sender Refused Unable to Forward" BC [protected] *[protected] 04/07/09 NIXIE 337 DC 1

I got my certificate from La-Z-Boy furniture! Same story as the rest of you... sent my $5 and spent 2 months savings receipts and making copies. I just got my first batch of receipts back with a USPS sticker that reads "REFUSED-RETURN TO SENDER". Their phone is disconnected and the website is down, although I haven't tried any other site or contact. I usually turn the other cheek, but I'm going to ask Florida's AG to sick 'em! With the economy the way it is, I can't afford to throw even $5 away! Good luck, all!

I also sent in vouchers and got confirmation everything was received and have yet to receive a gas card. I also was told the cards were mailed out in December. On another call I was told that they were back logged and they would be shipped. Still waiting.
I sent in vouchers for April only to have it come back return to sender, thats when I decided to call and the number is no longer in service

In December of 2008, I purchased a "brand new" vehicle and was given a registration form for free gas.I then completed form and sent in five dollars for vouchers for free gas certificates. I never received anything from Free Gas Central as promised, however learned that possibly this company have been scamming everyone with this supposely incentive. I am hoping the same, as one" unhappy consumer" said I also hope that they be prosecuted to the fullest! And that we all become rich off all of our $5.00 and their misrepresentation.Please help us to get what they so deserve, "NOTHING" Many Thanks!

I to had sent in october and november reciepts of 2008 and also called them and it said that the # was disconnected. I sent in 100.00 worth of receipts for both months and recieved no gift card and no response.
I think these companies should be shut down for false advertisement.

I mailed my $5.00 payment and the envelope returned to me. Mail error, so I didn't lose my $5.00 but I will be more careful next time. The dealership gave me the coupon for test driving a car, they should be more careful also.

I blame this company and the companies that referred us. Both parties should have to pay something.

Save $100 of gas receipts per month minimum. Mail in recemption coupons with gift voucher # on them to receive a $25. Oo gift card to purchase gas. . . But the gift cards never come and it is impossible to contact the company. . . Help! I have the $300 gas voucher with a gift code of fgc7249597650. . . I attended a milwaukee brewers game at miller park and entered a drawing for a free vacation. . . Then went to listen to an intimidating sales pitch. . .

This was a very degrading experience! The miller park should be aware of these scams and not allow the pests to infect the ball park!

This company is a rip off. I am so pissed that they took $5.00 through pay pal and I have not seen one coupon. I got roped into this scam through Prime Toyota for coming in and looking into purchasing a car. I don't know if I should go after the car crooks or the gas company! We should all form a class action lawsuit.
