On June 25th of I had $339.15 debited out of my checking account with the promise of receiving a credit card (Master Card or Visa) with the credit limit of $2500.00 with 0% financing from the company at question, Advantage Plus Travel (supposedly). They claimed that the reason one would pay the $339.15 was that they were paying for all fees and expenses up front, for a time of 5 years. I am quite disturbed as since I have visited the Advantage Plus website, it made mention of a scam, and that the company does not in fact give out credit cards.
I was told that my card would arrive in 5 days. When I called after 10 days (I was leaving for a vacation, and could have really used it) they told me that they never said it would arrive by that date, but in fact it would take three weeks. Then it was two more weeks, then they said that they had to finish checking my credit, and I just missed their monthly mailing. At this point, several months after the fact, I knew I had been screwed. After a move and change of college I finally had time to sit down and think about what to do with this.
Also, after seeing other reports on this website, I know I am not the only one.
I am seeking a refund right now, I have sent two certified letters out, but now, after reading the gentleman's rip off complaint in front of mine, it seems as though they also have a fax number, and it is possible to get a refund. I will update when and if this happens. I am going to make them aware of this website, and see if that might help some others.
