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

Very interesting - I just looked over the weekend - had similar charges. I called them and they were closed over the weekend. So not only did they charge this month - they have been charging my credit card since January. I don't know how I missed it. So I called my credit card company and it's not being charged as revolving which mean monthly someone is entering my information from TLG*GREATFUN. I called them this morning, pushed zero and demanded to speak to a manager. After getting a speal from the woman on the phone about what great offers they can provide to me - BLA BLA - THIS IS A SCAM! Management credited my Visa for the last four months and said I would have to contact Corporate to reverse the other charges. Call them now... Great Fun - [protected] - and their Corporate Fax number is [protected].

$10.99 was taken out of my bank account without my consent.

I also have been getting ripped off by TRG GREAT FUN. According to them, I clicked on some kind of offer when I purchased movie tickets online with FANDANGO. I had no idea because it's a card account that I rarely check. Which I must admit, it's my fault for not checking. But this month, that I know I did not use the card at all, they went ahead and charged it and that's when I noticed.

I've been getting charged $11.99 for the last seven months!

I'm a single mom who would not be spending this kind of money on stupid discount stuff that I've never used. I do not recall clicking on any offer at all! I rarely use my card online and this is what happens to me?

Be careful people! check your monthly statements and don't buy tickets on FANDANGO I guess that's all I can say.

I've been traveling and just checked my mail this weekend. In it I found a check from Great Fun (10 whole dollars!) and some sort of membership card for "savings and privileges on all the things you like to do".

When I started balancing my bank acct this morning I found an interesting charge on Nov 4, 2008 for TLG*GREATFN in the amount of $11.99. I immediately started researching to find out who/what this was, as I didn't remember this charge at all. Then I found this website. I also looked at the Digger website. Was not a happy camper!

I booked a flight with Orbitz back in Sept. I don't recall seeing any little boxes that you have to uncheck and I usually look for those so I don't get spammed on my e-mail or get a lot of junkmail in the mailbox. I called the [protected] number provided on the paperwork they sent me and was not able to get through. Too many others like me trying I guess! I then called my bank's customer service. Here is what I was told:

This happens often! My bank representative said that they got the info from an online booking and I must have just missed the box.

There was a class action lawsuit against Trilegiant (TLG) the settlement of which was $25 million, back on July 21, 2008. "In addition to the cash compensation, the settlement requires Trilegiant offer consumers an easy cancellation method, affirmative relief regarding Trilegiant's business practices, a charitable contribution, and payment by Trilegiant of all costs and legal fees related to the lawsuit." http://www.consumeraffairs.com/news04/2008/07/trilegiant_class.html

Obviously they have not changed practices much! My bank representative helped me through the process of filing a fraudulent claim and found that I had actually be charged twice, the other being in October. I had missed it somehow. Pending decision from the Corporate of my bank, the money (both Nov and Oct) will be returned to my acct and they will in turn try to get it back from Great Fun. A block was also put on my Visa for that amount with that name attached to it. The block is only good for one year but it is expected that in less than three months they will be unable to even try to pull anything from my acct.

Also, DO NOT CASH THE CHECK! If you read the back of this check it says, "By cashing this check I agree to a thirty-day trial offer in Buyers Advantage. I understand that my membership will be automatically extended for an additional eleven months and the $139.99 annual membership fee will be automatically charge to my credit card used with Great Fun unless I cancel my membership by calling [protected] before the end of the trial period...ect..." This thing automatically charges your acct without your approval from the info they got from various on-line flight/motel bookings.

At this time I am debating filing a claim with the class action lawsuit. I won't be out anything if I don't but really it's the principle of the thing. Just because the laws haven't exactly caught up with the on-line technology boom doesn't mean companies, corporations or people should get away with this kind of thing. Maybe by continuing to keep this in the spotlight the companies will be forced to follow the rulings and laws will be made that catch up to the rest of society.

I am on the phone with a representative right now and they told me that they are cancelling the program and gave me a cancellation code. Today is November 26, it should up as a pending transaction on November 25. When I asked if the cancellation code was going to refund the money they took out for the pending transaction, the response was that It was not a recent transaction and in order for me to get my money back I would have to send in a fax. I am currently online with the manager and he is saying it will be refunded into my account within ten to fifteen business days. The manager's name that I spoke with was Lee. Apparently when you use priceline, it is already checked and if you don't uncheck it, that is how this program is initiated.

So I called these guys about the charge the lady told me she would credit my account...guess where she got my info? Fandango.com!

The online site where you buy movie tickets and print them at the little kiosks at the theatres! So safe to say I'm not using fandango.com anymore to buy my movie tickets- i'll wait and see if they stop charging me- luckily its a debit card so all I have to do is open a new account and close the old one. (i don't have much going in or out of that account anyway)

Hi guys,

I called the [protected] this number actually got me a live person on a Saturday at that----i was supprised. Basically what this person told me was that i apparently signed up for savings thru priceline.com at some point. So, i pulled up priceline's website and GreatFun is a third party partner tlisted in their Privacy Policy under sharing your personal data. The unfortunate part is i can't remember every move i made when ordering tickets online. The very misleading part is that priceline.com doesn't tell you in order to get the rebate for travel you are automatically joining this stupid Great Fun--------But i'm sure i didn't agree for Great Fun to charge my bank card. So i think Priceline.com and Great Fun both have quite a little scam. So what i plan to do is file a complaint with BBB against Priceline.com primarily because they are a bigger name and have more to loose. And maybe they will quit using Great Fun as a third party in the process. I will also contact our local channel 10 which investigates scams of different kinds.

I just declined the featured selection on BMG's music club's website and a message came up saying " Earn $20 Cash Back on future music club purchase." There was a button to click continue as well as a reference to Great FUN. It blended in as if to disguise itself as part of the BMG website. Very sneaky!

I thought I'd google it before I clicked any thing. Sure glad I did! This makes me wary of making future purchases through BMG since I don't want them to allow this third party access to my account information.

This so called company is a corrupt, and HIGLY ILLEGAL company. If any of you are having problems with this company contact your Better Business Bureau ASAP and the FEDS. I have several friends and family members who've been takend advantage of by this "Business" Please, EVERYONE, if you notice a billing by this company contact the authorities and your bank ASAP.

As far as you go "Great Fun" Watch your backs, at times like this where Americans are struggling to make money and survive you should be warned, this will be a bad time for corrupt SOB's such as yourselves to get caught buy good, hard working red blooded Americans. Don't walk the alley ways alone at night punks!

Good luck to all of you who've been taken advantage of by these so called business people, I hope you all get your money back!

Good luck and God Bless!

Wow! What a scam this little operation has set up.
Upon calling this organization to check on what I thought was an unauthorized charge, it was brought to my attention that I had agreed to a membership which was free for the first month and then I would be charged each month there after. The customer account rep gave me the date, time, etc. that I had agreed to upon making my hotel reservations through Priceline.com, how convenient, huh? I don't remember this whole process, I guess that I was too caught up in making my reservations. I do know that I related to the Customer Service Rep how unhappy I was with this companies marketing strategies and that I would be contacting BBB regarding this whole sequence of events. I would really have a hard time laying my head on my pillow at night knowing that I had to earn a living treating people like this.
As you might guess I am not a very happy ex-customer.
BUYER BEWARE!

Here is what I did when I called this company. First I found 2 unauthorized charges of $35.99 each. I found out that when I ordered DVD's from Columbia House online in June 2008 I clicked on a button during the order process and thought I was reading the privacy and terms of my membership to Columbia House. Well that is how I inadvertantly signed up for Great Fun. I never knew I was authorizing or signing for anything but what do they care. I accidently found this charge as I was checking out another company that took over$300.00 from me. Thats another story. So I called and got through to them early in the AM on 12/1/08. I let them have it. I threatened to report them to the Better Business Bureau and that I was taking this public to whomever I could. I demanded the credit my account immediately and they said it would take 10-15 business days and that they were only going to credit my account $48.64. They took $71.98. They gave me a fax number and said I have to request the rest in writing and fax the request. I decided to wait to close my account on 12/1/08 and see what happens. They said they had cancelled my membership, the one I didnt order. So I just looked on my account online and they credited my account $48.64. Anyway I was not nice to them. I yelled and called them theives and worse than that. I told them where to go and to look for another job because I would do everything I could to expose them. I dont know why but it took them less than 24 hours to give me most of the money back. I am still going to report them anbd my bank said they will help me get the money back. This company and another one have taken almost $400.00 from my account since August 2008. My bank is great and never makes mistakes on anything so I dont check the account for errors that much but I will be checking everyday or every other day. So if you call the number [protected], you should eventually get through. Dont give up and let them rip you off or others off. It makes me sick we have to put up with this. If you dont know how they got your account number ask them. They told me and they were honest about that., I wonder if the companies that we order things from are getting a kick back from the money Great Fun steals from us. Apparently they are getting the ok from who knows how many companies to be on the websites. One lady making a complaint says she ordered something from AVON and thats how she got billed from her bank account. Good Luck to everyone who has had a problem with this piece of sh__ company. I dont even know what Great Fun is or what they provide and I dont want to know. Jennifer

I was purchasing a magazine subscription online and now I have been signed up of this great fun website. they had all of my information and claim to have my credit card information and I have been trying to call some of the numbers on the website and in everyone's postings but everytime I call it says that I can't not contsct that number because I am out of the calling area, or something like that.

Does anyone know exactly how to contact and cancel your "membership"? this is unbelievable! I complained to the magazine site, but I doubt that will do any good.

Can anyone help me?

Thanks

Dec 03, 2008 8:01 am EST

okay,
so I called [protected] to cancel my "membership" and I actually got a person on the phone. Since I had my membership number from the website that I printed off, I was able to give them that number and then they immediately canceled my membership, and gave me a cancellation number. So far there have been no charges to my account.

Has anyone had problems with this company charging your credit card after you have canceled and been given a cancellation code? This company is so sneaky, I wouldn't be suprised.

My experience with Great Fun started when I answered yes to the question, "Would I like $20 worht of free gasoline", when reserving a motel room with Days Inn. It is eight months later and I have yet to get the first penney worth of gasoline, because every check that comes in the mail enrolls me in another part of this scam. So far I have been hit with at least $100 worth of charges to my credit card, so that was a pretty expensive motel room, and I thought I was getting a bargain. Call customer service. They will cancel your membership. As to getting a refund for past charges, that remains to be seen, but I'm not giving up easily. This has got to be stopped!

I too have just noticed charges to my credit card account for the past 5 months from GreatFun. I do not know what this is. I was told that I signed up for it when I ordered personal checks on line. I was also told that I received a $20 rebate. I don't know where that went to and I don't know how these people do what they do or how they are even allowed to do it. Anyway, when I called them I told them I didn't order this they kept trying to convince me I did. I had to speak to a supervisor in order to have my credit card account refunded.

Wow... I finally received my refund after the last time that I posted my blog, but basically it is almost every travel website that is out there. The only two that I can find that don't use this crazy rip off of a company is Travelocity, and Expedia. I think that I am just going to stick to the major airlines for now, forget the other sell out companies.

I also got caught up in this nightmare! I was pissed, but found this disclosure on the priceline website which makes me think that maybe we should just be cautious when making online purchases, even when we think the website is reputable. I will still use Priceline, but won't click anything till I investigate it under a microscope!

I just caught it myself. I think it's only happened twice. The $24 they've stolen form me means more to me than all their lives. The penalty for this kind of fraud, and identity theft, should it seems to me, be modified to having the perp left in a locked room tied to a chair for ten minutes with the victim. Save a fortune on prison costs.

I found the same charge of $109.99 on my CC and disputed. Thank goodness for credit protection. I also found out from my credit card company...TLG Great Fun is an affiliate with discounts and promotions, are activated at the time of your purchases made online. So be careful with additional promotional offers and read the fine print. Just will be more and extra cautious during purchases. Glad that others have come forward.

Okay I just realized that I have been getting charged $11.99 each month for god only knows how long. I called my credit card company today and said to dispute it I would have to call the company and of course it is the weekend and they are closed. I think I have been getting charged this since April or May because the last time I used this credit card is when I purchased Airline tickets and a rental car from Priceline.com. I checked great fun's website and they are partners with Budget rental car company which is who I got my car through but I slightly remember seeing somehting about great fun on Pricelines website. After getting off the phone with the credit card company I realized that I think I have been receiving mail from this crappy company and found it. I have a check from the company for $10.00 but if I were to cash it, it would activate some kind of "savings plan". Since I know I have not cashed any of these clearly junk mail checks, why oh why am I getting charged. I am peeved! Lets just say someone at that stupid company is going to have their A$$ handed to them first thing Monday morning.

There is a lawsuit agains them but it depends on the state you are in. http://www.consumeraffairs.com/news04/2006/12/trilegiant_chase.html

I just accidentally got caught in this scam too so I'm scrambling to avoid the doom. I rented a hotel on Hotwire; a company I've used happily for years and I'm very disappointed in them for being connected with this scam artist. I clicked a link to "save $20" from my email confirmation from Hotwire. No idea I was going to another company's site. Stupid me! I put in my state and a password and clicked a button I thought would take me to get more info, but to my horror I had signed up and gave Hotwire permission to give them all my personal and credit card info. I emailed both them and hotwire to tell them I do not agree to sign up. I went to Great Fun's site and logged in and told them to take me off thier mailing list. I'm thinking of reporting my credit card lost so I can get a new number or I'll fear having to watch my statement for years to come.

I just called to checl on my Child support debit card balance because it is always entered on Tuesday and found that it was almost 15 dollars less than I was expecting and when I checked on it I found that this company has attached itself to my Child support account virtually stealing my sons child support. I don't ever sign up for anything online because I wind up with alot of telephone companies trying to add themselves to my home bill talk about being upset.

FYI I just looked into how I could have possibly been charged for this as I knew I did not cash any of those checks they send (which definitely say on the back that if you cash it you join.) I found that when registering online for a Howard Johnson's hotel stay that a pop up offer was displayed once registered to which I supposedly positively responded. I'm in the process of writing to them to have the charge removed but I thought I'd let everyone know to watch those online reservation systems for this.

I just noticed I was charged 12.99 for TLG Great Fun. I have NO IDEA why or how this got on my card, but you better believe I'm gonna do something about it. Unfortunately, it's New Years Day and I'll likely get no help from them. I will dispute it through my bank.

I just noticed on my credit card a charge for $13.99 for something that I did not approve of and I was wondering what the heck is this Great Fun thing since I have never heard of it and now they got hold of my information and charging me something I did not approve of and I did not agree upon and too what the heck is this thing anyways? It's sad that some people like this company is getting hold of our information and stealing money from us.

I've been getting billed for this for over 1 year and have been promised by my credit card company that they would reverse the charges and cancel this membership. Everytime I call to try to cancel GREAT FUN is always closed or busy. THIS IS A SCAM! I will continue to fight this until I get I get reimbursed for all that I've paid in the past year 11.99 a month!

Somehow, Priceline.com got me involved with this scam. Thanks to the other complaints I noticed that my credit card information is no longer safe with them, so I replaced.

I agree that they misrepresent themselves and they usually do it through another company. In my case, they used choice hotels memberships

I saw a charge for $12.99 on my checking account and when I called Great Fun about it, they said that since I purchased something from MilesKimball.com I became a member of Great Fun...the sales rep said that I had received a $20 check from them (FALSE) and that I would save lots of money on shopping, dining and travel using the card. When you go to the Great Fun website, there is no way to just view the options they offer - you have to plug in your credit card number - FURTHERING THE SCAM! This is amazing to me. How do people dream up this stuff? I will never shop at MilesKimball.com again.

Oh, I supposedly had them "cancel my membership" (although I never authorized a membership in the first place, today. We'll see if that really happens.

I just looked at my credit card statement and saw the $12.99 charge. Kept going back on my statements and it was still there. So I called my bank and they connected me to TLG Great Fun. At first they were telling me that I wasn't eligible for a refund and then I demanded to speak to a supervisor. She then credited me 4 months of charges. It will take 48 hours to process and we will see how that goes. I also called my bank to let them know about this company. They said I could dispute it all now or wait until they charge again without Authorization. I just told my co-worker what happened and the SAME company did this to her as well through shutterfly.com. They said I agreed to this on cheaptickets.com. SO BE AWARE of the sites you are on! Thank god it is only $13/month. But it adds up.
