Reader's Digest / Trusted Media Brands review: stolen money 209

What! You can't make it easy for people to find out what the gift is? What is wrong with you? You people should be ashamed of yourselves. I will NEVER get Readers Digest again!

I filled out the information regarding a free music CD and surprise gift. I was suspicious of "something for free". I fully intended to cancel upon receipt of the music CD. Later I received an order confirmation thanking me for the $20.97 order. Hummm some free CD and surprise gift which appears to be 6 books about learning numbers letters, colors etc. Just what a 68 year old needs. Sorry RD, this time you struck out.

Was promised a surprise gift and could not even find a spot to log in as they said. I thought that this was a legitimate company.

Guess not!

I have wasted about an hour trying to find out who is sending me this magazine, and I am thoroughly disgusted. So quit wasting my time and give me an answer. I'm not as rude as you are, and would like to say thank you to somebody.

Received card saying I had a free gift surprise and when I went to the web site I could not get any info. Beware of this scam!

I got an insert with my r.d. magazine telling me to go to a web site to enter a contest I can't find the site!

I tried to enter 'jackpot' which was not possible. A reputable magazine like RD seems to be resorting to 'bait' on the net. This is shameful !

Imagine my surprise while trying to access this site to enter the latest contest to find out the site "DOES NOT EXIST". I think this constitutes false or misleading advertising and from what I have read it seems that this is not the first time Reader Digest has done this.

Very unhappy with rd.. My time wasted.Money for rd. wasted. No more rd. or free suprise gifts waiting for me. The magazine sure isn't what it used to be.

I received a card in the mail for a chance to win a 2008 Lexus. I was given an access code to enter this contest before March 19, 2008 and when I attempt to enter this contest, nothing happens. There is no site for this entry. Is this a true contest or not? I also received another one earlier that I was not able to access. Please e.mail me and indicate what is up on this, I would appreciate it. I sure would like the chance to win a car as I do not have one. Always trying though. Thank you, Carol.

Just wondering if this is a bogus Reader's Digest Canada Sweepstake? The "Lexus IS 350 could be headed your way...", there is no such web site that I can find where I could enter the access code that was under the seal that was sent to me today in the mail. If this is a scam, then they can keep their junk mail to themselves!

Another friken Readers Digest scam so they can sell my info to junk mailers. Some companies have NO SHAME !

I just think its sad that a company has to scam the hard working public who would certainly love to win a new car,just for their own twisted satisfaction and profit! P.S. I have enough garbage i certainly dont need yours,please keep your postcards to yourself!

I cannot find the site for the "Lexus" promotion...I don't think it exists.The access code do not work either...mark

We also received a card with the chance to win a new Lexus car. We would like the chance to win one.
When we try to log in to this site,nothing happens. It is a shame to mailout these bogus entries. Don't send us any more of these cards. We always thought Readers'Digest was a reliable company,now we have our doubts. Marguerite

YEP, another phoney card. This is the last time I bother with an entry card from Reader's Digest! It will make good fire starter tho, seems that is all it is good for...

I agree with all of the above comments...

If your such a big company, why do you not have your own website for these so called sweepstakes. I also received a card for a lexus and I am unable to find where to enter the code.

I agree with the above comments.its a scam by rd.no such site. Told me i was one of the chosen few in canada. Well i live in a small town of about 4000 people and i know about 500 of the people here all of them have recieved them(postcards), lol what a joke.

I too got such a code to win a car but cannot fine a site to access and enter my code. After spending lots of money on products in hoping my chances of winning would be better I am disappointed that I cant even find a site for such contest. Will be thinking twice before spending another dime.

I agree another Reader's Digest SCAM. A large company and all they do is SCAM their Scribers. It is strange how no one ever seems to win or it is the same pictures of winners that have won other contest but just a different name under the picture.

i too had received this notice to enter a contest.I think this is very unprofessional for such a company as readers digest.
i will really have to think if i am going to renew my subscription.

a disgruntled customer

I think you will find them all on the internet under www.rd.ca surprise SHAMEFUL FOR SUCH A WELL KNOWN COMPANY THAT SO MANY PEOPLE BELIEVED IN WHOLE HEARTILY.

I got a card saying go to this web site to get a free gif worth $20.00 or more all i got was pages and pages of complaints from people who DIDN'T get there free GIFT!

With my April Readers Digest there was a card saying I would get a surprise gift by registering online. I registered but there is no surprise!

Readers Digest offers a chance to win feee ipod touch by visiting their web site www.rd.ca/ipodtouch
And no web site opens

i could not access sight either.

Readers Digest enclosed a card offering one of five 16GB ipod touches, and giving an access code to enter. There is no competition available on the website they give.
Does anyone ever win a Readers Digest competition?

ripoff

No such website. How can I get in to win if I can't access... www.rd.ca/ipodtouch says type in the access code to win one of five ipod touches 16 GB.
access code 65972

I have been buying thier books for almost 20 years along with thier monthly magazine.

I am wondering if I have been wasting my money on stamps entering a contest for nothing.

someone has changed my answer to a contest intstead of all their monthly contests.

I wonder if the other person hit it on the nail. I wonder if the access code gets them ino your computer?

I also received a card with an access code number to enter an RD"win a new iPod touch" contest. I could not access this site or get info on the contest. Come on Rd- what are you trying to pull? BS like this will help me decide when renewal time comes-unless I can get a satisfactory explanation.

I DO NOT KNOW WHY READERS DIGEST PUT OUT THESE CONTESTS WHEN YOU CAN NOT GET ON THEIR WEB PAGE. IT IS A REAL SCAM PROBABLY TO TRY AND COLLECT INFO TO SELL TO OTHER COMPANIES

I had an access code of 65976 it is the same one as someone else has... also you can not get on the site to check for your number

what is going on with this site

Received card with access code 65967
Told to go on line at www.rd.ca/ipodtouch
Unable to get there! How do I do it.?
30 yr or more subscriber to Readers Digest and books

Can't access site to enter contest. Agree everyone should not renew until more professional conduct from what we all think is a very upstanding publication
