Review 6/4/2010

I enrolled with the company in May 2010. You must give them a SSn or EIN number and your checking account information to make the payments. This has me concerned because of security issues.
I have paid $19.99 and I do not think it is worth the value. I got the $25 gift certificate from restaturants.com and the restrictions on the certificate were a lot. Aside from a poor selection of restaurants you have to spend $75 at some places to use a $25 certificate and you can not purchase alcohol and there are restrictions on the days and times you can use it.
You can also purchase the same certificate from restaurants.com directly for $9.99.
There is a spot to order a triple your cash certificate from Venture Services. I have not done this and I will not do this until I know that it is not a scam. You must send them $100 and they supposedly send you $300 worth of gas and or grocery gift cards. I am fearful that is I send $100 the cards I get back will have the same restrictions as the restaturant.com gift card.
When I enrolled I was pressured into "selling" this to my friends and clients. I am a professional and choose not to spend my time selling Multi Level Marketing, which is what their ultimate goal is. You also earn money for each person you refer based on the amount of money they spend.
The people you enroll that are "down line" as they refer to it earn money for you. So the more people you refer and the more they refer creates a pyramid like structure.
I am skeptical of any offer that is too good to be true. Based on the poor experience with the restaurant gift certificate I am hesitant to order the triple your cash. I may change my mind and order it. If I do I will update the site and maybe my opinion will change.
This falls into the "it's too good to be true" category for me.
As of June 16 I have tried to cancel my membership for 12 days. It is impossible to do so far. I had to get a "cancellation" form the person that enrolled the person that enrolled me. Tehy make it impossible to download the form on the website. Here is a summary of what happened when i tried to contact them to cancel my membership.
1. Email. I send them an email and the auto reply I get states that they do not check their email so not to expect a reply.
2. Phone. I call them and the message states that they do not check the messages often and not to expect a reply.
3. Fax. I faxed them a letter cancelling my membership and the fax number does not work.
4. Support ticket. I opened a ticket May with no reply. I opened one on June 4th and I have not gotten a reply.
5. Cancellation form. They do not make it available to print out. Therefore it is hard to leave even though they offer a money back guarantee. This screams to me of a company that I do not want to do business with or be associated with in any format.
6. Triple your cash certificates. I would never purchase these. The third party company that issues these requires a certified check and does clearly state the restrictions on the cards. They claim to earn their money by sending you ads in the envelope with the gift cards. If they are giving you $200 free that’s a lot of ads.
My advice is stay away from this company!
