Complaint Review: I-deal Rewards

As for your first allegation of violation of the TOS, I did complete the required offers. In case you didn't read my initial rip-off report correctly, you just didn't show them as completed within 60 days. What a surprise, you didn't want this offer to show up as completed. I guess dishing out $800 within months would be too much to deal with?

And as for the companies paying for shipping costs, they don't. They didn't on the first, and they didn't on the second.

The referral requirement violation, if true, I might understand. However, it was that two offers showed up and the rest didn't when they had all been completed, that angered me. It would have been fine if I disqualified based on the referral. But I did not disqualify based on the offer completion.

Might I add, one of the offers on your website, Real Rhapsody, said they were not even affiliated with your company! Maggie, what kind of shady deal is that?

And finally, as for the boilerplate language stating I am not allowed to use different email addresses per household, why didn't you tell me I was in violation of that provision immedialtely so that I didn't wait for TWO MONTHS for my offers to show up and spend around $50 in shipping? I guess you just wanted to benefit from my spending all the money for shipping. I emailed you a long time ago asking why I didn't qualify; don't act like you didn't receive my email. Could you have even told me then that I was violating your TOS?

By the way, I had to switch emails because I was using my email at work, and getting too much junk from signing up for your crappy offers. Is that such a bad violation?

I will be reporting this information, THE TRUTH, to ripoffreport.com as well.
