Monthly receipts were to be sent to company and a $25 gas card was returned until $300 was sent. This was a timeshare reward. The company has filed for bankruptcy. This now on website:

July 1, 2009

BBZ Resource Management, Inc. announced today that it has filed for Chapter 11 reorganization in order to preserve the value of its business for its creditors. BBZ also announced that immediately prior to its Chapter 11 filing, it entered into a new strategic relationship in order to preserve and maximize the value of its data mining business for the benefit of its creditors, business partners and other stakeholders.

BBZ's historical business involved both the sale of rebate certificates and the accumulation and use of consumer data. Recent events surrounding BBZ's rebate certificate business necessitated BBZ's Chapter 11 filing. Early in 2009, BBZ entered into a 15-year contract with Kidz Idz, Inc. to purchase $345 million of rebate certificates from BBZ. Kidz Idz' performance under this contract was personally guaranteed by Michael Pouls, the owner of Kidz Idz. Relying upon that contract, BBZ entered into a long-term lease for a new fulfillment facility and hired new employees to deal with the exploding demand for the rebate certificates that BBZ sold. Rather than honor that contract, however, Kidz Idz and Mr. Pouls not only breached their obligations but also undertook what BBZ believes to be concerted campaign to co-opt the rebate certificate business and destroy BBZ. This effort culminated with the Pouls Parties filing a lawsuit on Thursday, June 25, 2009 falsely asserting that BBZ's business is a fraudulent Ponzi scheme. Ironically, that same day BBZ was working with outside counsel to prepare its own lawsuit against the Pouls Parties asserting their breaches of contract and other wrongful conduct.

The damage to BBZ's rebate certificate business from the Pouls Parties' conduct made it imperative that BBZ act to protect its consumer data mining business for the benefit of its creditors, business partners and other stakeholders. Accordingly, BBZ has entered into a contract with an industry leader to take that business forward in exchange for BBZ receiving a share of the business's revenues. This new relationship will form the foundation of BBZ's anticipated Chapter 11 plan of reorganization.

In the meantime, BBZ has suspended sales, activations, and redemption of rebate certificates, as well as gift card distribution. Consumers awaiting gift cards or holding certificates are encouraged not to contact the businesses or brokers that sold or gave away the certificates, as suspension of this program is beyond their control. BBZ is committed to honoring its obligations and will be working diligently with its outside professionals in the Chapter 11 process to maximize the return to its creditors.

Inquiries may be sent to BBZ's new mailing address: PO Box 11000, Mesa AZ 85214-1100.

BBZ claims that they were hurt by Kidz Idz, but yet they didn't enter into this agreement with them until the END OF MARCH! They were ALREADY scamming customers and not issuing the vouchers well before that date, and continued to act this way up until the time they declared bankruptcy. In fact, Pouls didn't back out until late June, and by that date, all the BBB complaints and Attorney General complaints had already been filed, so their supposed excuse that the Kidz Idz pullout was the reason they couldn't fulfil the vouchers is a bunch of garbage. Here's an article about the agreement starting on March 30: http://www.newswiretoday.com/news/48702/ BMZ Resource Management and Kidz-IDz Join Forces Empowering Business Owners to Show their Support for Child Safety NewswireToday - /newswire/ - Cherry Hill, NJ, United States, 03/30/2009 - BMZ Resource Management and Kidz-IDz have teamed up to offer business owners the ability to provide a no-cost child ID card. BBZ Resource Management, Inc., a leader in the customer incentive redemption industry, and Kidz-IDz, a leader in child safety, have teamed up to make an unprecedented offer to business owners across the United States, in Puerto Rico and Canada giving them the ability to provide a free, hard plastic, Child Photo ID & Medical Emergency Card with Electronic ID to their customers. "Business owners using our gas, grocery and merchandise certificates to get new customers or make more sales will now be able to offer a free Kidz-IDz Child Photo ID & Medical Emergency Card Kit as an added bonus. The ID Card includes valuable medical information and important personal data and can help reunite a lost or missing child with their loved ones or in a medical emergency. Business owners get two distinctive benefits. They know they are helping to bring awareness to child safety and because parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles will recognize that too, that could make the difference between choosing their business product or service over the competitions.", says Troy Warren, Senior Vice President at BBZ. In addition to the free Child Photo ID Card, customers will also receive a free Electronic ID. An Electronic ID is recommended as the fastest solution for transferring key information in the event of a missing child episode or a medical emergency. It enables parents to store their child's photo and descriptive details on their home computer, and includes other helpful files to help prevent and react to an emergency. The ID Card and Electronic ID, valued at $30.00, are free to business customers of BBZ. A minimal shipping & handling fee is applied. Kidz-IDz, currently partners with the National Parent Teacher Association, Students Against Driving Drunk, the National Organization for Youth Safety and many other organizations to bring child safety to the forefront. According to Michael Pouls, founder of Kidz-IDz, "We are very excited to be working with BBZ Resource Management, Inc., providing both business owners and their customer across the country and in Canada with the tools they need to keep children safe. We applaud BBZ's concern for child safety. With an average of 2,100 children reported missing every day we challenge every business to follow their lead, and make child safety a part of their daily routine." Kidz-IDz is a leader in child safety. For more information, please contact Mindy Hershorin at 610-520-2012.
