I purchased 4 new tires from Big-O Tires that was participating in a $500 free gas rebate program. I got my certificate and that is all. I have to submit $100 a month in receipts to the address above and they are supposed to send a $25 gas card or credit card every month until the $500 is rebated to me. this will take 20 months. My rebate coupons expire November 2009. I strated this program in March 2008 and have scanned the receipts since April 2008 that I have sent to this company and have yet to receive anything but excuses as to where my $25 cards are. I am going to continue to do my part.
Promised free $25 gas card for each $100 spent at Hess Gas. We purchased Hess, even though we could have purchased gas cheaper elsewhere. We returned the receipts faithfully for months, still no gas cards.
The resorts that engage in obviously fraudulent schemes should be held liable, as they are also part of the scheme.
I sued the owner of the website (check who-is to get her info) in my local small claims. She mailed me a money order that cleared for the $300 certificates that she owed me. It came with a letter claiming she could not do business through the company because of the legal action. Because my judgement was against her personally she said she could settle. Took awhile but I did get satisfaction.
I emailed Chris Hansen to ask him to do a story on this! we need answers, if anyone else feels like this would help, email him also ..here is his link!
