Once again I have been charged for Trilegiant/TLG's so-called discount programs. Charges for TLG Travel Advantage and other TLG advantage programs repeatedly are placed on my credit card even though I was assured my name would be removed. I guess I should have asked, "Removed from what?" Trilegiant and its predessor, Cendant, claim the charge is authentic because I/we have signed up for the program. When pressed to produce information or evidence, I have learned companies such as Avis car rental can be the connection, or, as most have experienced, AOL. These are two of many companies that have a relationship with Trilegiant's marketing programs. The companies, which include banks, motels & hotels, online services, credit card services and too many others to list, are not innocent. They enter into a contract receiving a "fee" for sharing their customers information with various netmarketing groups. Of course, they accept no responsibility for the actions of their 'co-conspirator' in the money making process; once again leaving you or me out, in the infinite consumer cosmos, to fend on our own. Something must be done to stop this atrocious and vile scam.
