I noticed an unusual charge on a credit card statement. I called the number next to the description of the charge on my CC statement to find out what it was for.
To make a long story short... I found out that I was being charged $7.00/month on 3 different credit cards!! All by this company, WLI ReservationRewards.com. I first asked them to tell me what I had been getting for my $7 per month and I got the B.S. story I expected but they offered, very quickly; to cancel my account. I said calmly again that I had never received anything of value from them and I didn't think it was right that they keep my money. The person then offered to refund 6 months of charges (I had been charged for almost a year) I then asked, working hard to stifle my fury; if they would credit it all back to my card. They quickly agreed to do that. (This just happened, so I have not received the credits yet but I don't think they would want to use that as a ploy to get me off the phone. I will promptly update this report if I do not receive credit.)
It seems they got my name and card from several different web sites we had used, www.choicehotels.com, www.priceline.com and www.fandango.com When you complete a purchase or reservation you are asked if you want a $10 coupon or other offer, if you say yes, you get stuck with their charge. I have a big problem with these sites and how this offer is presented and consummated. Just be careful with this kind of thing in future.
So I suggest that anyone who discovers this rip-off from WLI RESERVATIONREWARDS on their credit card to do the same thing I did, suppress your urge to climb through the phone and choke the living s..t out of the person on the other end and just calmly ask for your money back. They obviously know they are running a very slim scam and are willing to do this to avoid any problems that a disgruntled public could bring down on them.
Hopefully enough folks will ask for their money back that they will change the way they do business. But a word of caution read the fine print! Maybe the Attorney General in Connecticut would be interested, huh?
