Got an offer from United Mileage Plus to buy $41 worth of wine and receive 6,500 bonus points. Ad: "Earn 6,500 award miles and enjoy 6 exceptional wines for just $41.95." Sound straightforward, right?
Ordered, got and drank the wine. Never got points. I called.
Them: "You only get 2,500 for the first wine shipment."
Me: "That is not what it says on your website. This is misleading."
Them: "It is in the terms and conditions"
OK - whatever. Me: "Then please send me my 2,500 points."
Them: "Looks like you had gotten wine through American Airlines a few years ago, so we won't give you the United points."
Mark, the service manager, then dodged my question about 30 times when I asked him where this policy is stated.
This is super cheesy. Avoid this wine club people! Full of trickery.
