As an incentive to get people (like me) to participate in several free trials (2 choices from gold list, silver list, and platinum list), I was offered to receive a VISA gift card worth $250. After spending almost 1 hr online and agreeing to pay for S&H of each product (total 6), I was supposed to have come to the end of the tedious promotion site so as to tell me how I'd be recieving the VISA card. Well, it never ended. It took me to a site of Bank of America where they offered protection of my card for 69.95 where I was to automatically say yes for them to enroll me. (They said they had already partnered up with the Bank to do this.) There was no box to decline it. So if you just ignored it like I did, the site went back to the beginning of the offers that said I had to participate and choose 2 products for free trial from each category (Gold, Silver, & Platinum.) I had just completed all of that earlier. The site never came to an end to finally say how they would send me my $250. VISA card. I just closed it out completely. Needless to say, that following bank business day, my account was overloaded with those free trial membership (S&H) fees along with other hidden fees from certain products. I spent the morning trying to cancell all of them but I still had to pay for the S&H fees because the products were on the way. I searched for an e-mail addressof the original site but I couldn't find one. I was lured in like bait for a black widow spider. I learned AGAIN, that nothing is really free.
