I received an offer in the mail summer 2004 for a credit card with $7,500 credit limit. It required a temporary payment of $149.00 from bank account to be recredited after first purchase.
When I received the USA Platinum card I discovered that it was only for credit for purchases at their internet mall. It indicated that the $149.00 they received earlier would be credited against purchases made within thirty days of receipt of card. I misplaced the paper work I received with the card. When I tried to find the internet site by searching for the card name all I could find was usaplatinumcard.com. It did not provide any information about the shopping club. The "shopping club was hidden."
I eventually got a telephone number. We have been very busy with a move and family tragedies. Today I called the number and got the address of the internet site: usashoppingclub.com.
The discount prices on name-brand merchandise is 20-30% higher than actual prices for products. Virtually every item that one would be interested in purchasing cannot be purchased with the "credit card." The selection of products is poor, appear to be second-market products, and many products have unknown name brands.
The websites should be closed down as a tool for criminal fraud. Every detail of the websites and the only purpose of the websites is to steal from heedless persons like me.
The advertisements have the look of a legitimate credit card vendor from the ostentatious name of usa platinum card. The sum total of money stolen by the criminals behind the sites must be very substantial.
Usacomplaints.com is an excellent idea. I heard the interview of the founder a couple days ago. Thank you for the service.
