See the lawsuit against TLG Shoppers Advantage in the link at the bottom of this news article. They are still at it. Its f'n 2013 and these B's are still up to their shenanigans. I havent received anything in exchange for the money they've been syphoning out of my account for the past two months. Good thing I watch my accounts. I recently did a lot of traveling and don't know which hotel was connected to them, but I have a feeling it was a cheap motel I booked online through Hotwire or Expedia. I think these are reputable companies. My theory is that TLG shoppers approaches the motel and offers to pay them for my credit/debit card info.

This company is a total scam. I joined "Great Fun" when I was promised a rebate for some concert tickets I bought back in February. I was charged 16.99 for March (twice) and I shortly after received a card for them. I called and asked about the form for the rebates I was trying to get and they assured me that they were sending it out. After a month and a half of waiting, I called and cancelled. I was given a refund, and the following week I was charged AGAIN. I called and asked what kind of scam they were trying to pull and they said to read out the transaction. EVERY TIME they were charging my card they were doing it under an account number that is ONE number different from the reimbursement. "TLG Shopper is not us ma'am, That is another company service" and I told them it's the name they have when they are charging me, and yet it's TLG Great Fun when they are offering refunds. Then the number they gave me for the "other service" center was a fax line. I called back and was put on hold multiple times. They obviously pull this back and forth account number crap to get away with stealing people's money. I had to dispute the charges with my bank and I will probably have to change my bank account information if they keep pulling this.

This bogus company has billed my credit for 2 years at 19.99 Initially I called & told them I didn't want it, so I thought it was cancelled. After awhile they started billing again, which I didn't notice until recently. I called & was told they would cancel, no offer of a refund. It does no good to contact the government, they don't care. Check your credit or bank statement EVERY month & dispute any unknown charges, you might also request to be issued a new credit card number. This so called company should be prosecuted, but as I said the so called government doesn't care, as long as they're getting their money. Be very vigilant & very careful about who you give your credit card number to.

Has anyone received a refund from these people? I had to call bank and cancel debit card in order not to be charged again. Bank said they could not otherwise stop the payments.

I have been having the same problem. I even called Great Fun to stop the transactions but they haven't. To this day, they are charging me for Shopper Advantage when I never even purchased a thing. I just noticed it after $120.00 has been charged on my account for 6 months straight. I need help on how to fix this. Has anyone been able to get their refund back?

These s.o.b.'s have been deducting 21.95 every month for a year. I was in hospital during the trial of their services by time I got home the trial was over and instantly got these charges. I emailed them several times and called them. Since they charge on my debit card, the bank said they can't block these charges.
I looked at the BBB site, turns out the company is out of area. Must be a way to shut these jerks down!

This type of activity is called Cramming. It is legal. My wife was a victim of it when she ordered one of the TV special deals. We had to close our account to prevent it from happening again. My advice is twofold. First petition your legislators to make it illegal. Second, if you must have one of these items, buy a gift MC, or VISA at Walmart and use it, or wait until it is on the As Seen on TV shelf. I am shocked that these clowns are still in business. They've been on the prowl since at least 2008.

I work at a bank and was doing some research on this company for a customer. The amount of charges over a period of 3 months totalled over $500. Customer never received any product and I believe she fell victim to this because of a hotel booking website. If you're a victim of this company I suggest joining the class action lawsuit against them to receive reimbursement, otherwise close your card/account and open a new one

Apparently it is a scam as they falsely advertised it as a rebate from Allegiant Airlines. Ended up with charges from both Travelers Advantage and Shoppers Advantage and not only never got the "rebate" (which was supposed to be gas cards I found out when I tried to cancel) but apparently my member numbers for them are not valid on their websites but only a way to recognise me when I call in to attempt to cancel. And THAT was a fruitless attempt as they simply talked over me about what a great deal it was and only wanted to give me a "free month" extra rather than actually cancelling. SO I ended up calling the bank and entering in disputes for both companies. Obviously no legitimate business would give such a runaround when attempting to cancel.

I PURCHASE SOME PILLS FROM ANOTHER COMPANY, RECEIVED A CALL FROM THIS COMPANY FOR $1.00 I WOULD GET ALL THIS GREAT DISCOUNTS FOR 60 DAYS, NEVER RECEIVED THIS PACKAGE UNTIL MONTH AGO, I HAD ALREADY CANCEL MY SUBSCRIPTION PRIOR IN RECEIVING THIS STUFF. WHEN I CANCEL THE PILLS IN NOV 2014 THIS SHOPPER ADVANTAGE WAS ALSO CANCEL IN NOV 2014. ALL OF SUDEN I SEE A PENDING CHARGE ON MY BANK ACCT ON JAN 21, 2015 FOR 21.95. CALLED THE COMPANY TOLD THEM THIS WAS CANCEL IN NOV, I WAS TOLD I WOULD BE REFUNDED THE 21.95. HOWEVER THE CHARGE IS NO LONGER PENDING BECAUSE IT POST TO MY ACCOUNT. CALLED THE COMPANY AGAIN TODAY AND I WAS TOLD NOW I DONT QUALIFIED FOR A REFUND. SO I WILL PROCESS AN UNAUTHORIZE DISPUTE FOR THIS CHARGE WITH MY BANK. THIS COMPANY IS A FRAUD.

Here is what I did and I got a full refund (over $600). I told them that I know what they are doing. I know that they sign people up for 2 programs and then cancel one of them so that people are still charged. I told them that I know that the company has been sued before and that my dad was a lawyer and that I would sue them if they did not give me a full refund. They will say they can’t do a refund, then they will say they can do 2 months, then 4, then 8, then 12. Just keep saying it isn’t good enough. Say that you know it is a scam and that you have read all about it online. Ask for a confirmation email with your cancellation # and a statement saying that you will get a full refund. Ask for everyone’s first and last names and the supervisor’s direct telephone number. I got pretty dang angry… I’m sure that helps as well.
I hope this helps someone. This practice should be illegal.
