Only vendors be aware that Americart, which provides a credit card accpetance service for a fee (starting at $40.00 per month), has as a "preferred partner" cashadvantagerewards. If you are a vendor and use this service, when the customer has completed the transaction he or she will see a web page announcing that the ORDER IS COMPLETE, the name of your on line business will follow and just below that in red will be a link labeled "to receive your $10.00 cash reward toward your next purchase click here." This will automatically sign you to a site where you will be asked for your email address as confirmation — there is no mention that they already have your credit card and that it will be charge a membership fee.
This is a come on scam. It uses the good name of the online vendor to help entice unwitting customers into a coupon service. This is sleazy business at best. Watch out for it. The $10.00 cash back coupon will cost you a $15.00 fee.
