I went on line to purchase WII games on cyber Monday. I searched for games and found the best price at smart game shopper.com. I purchased 3 games.
I was told I was getting $5 off for a first time shopper. I didn't realize I was signing up to become a "member" which allows them to charge me $19.95 EVERY MONTH to my credit card. My wife discovered the unexplained charge, and we had to call to cancel the membership.
No where on my receipt does it say I have joined as a member. I shop on line all of the time and know about having to join memberships. No where do I recall ever being told I was joining and agreeing to join. I know it was probably in the "fine print", but it was totally underhanded and unethical how they do this by labeling it a $5 discount for first time purchaser that most people would agree to.
