In September my wife and I received an offer from a vacation company for $100 of free gas. We followed the instructions and received a coupon book from "Gas Up America" telling us how to purchase gas from certain brand name gas stations. We followed their instructions exactly, as printed in their rules, and waited for our first check. It did not come in the 21 days they had promised. After waiting for 60 days I wrote a letter to them and finally did receive one check for $20. I sent them a thank you note and included my second coupon and a $20 gas receipt. We have now sent in a total of three coupons and receipts but have received no further checks and no answers from the company. I sent another letter on January 2 and still got no response. I even told them in my last letter dated February 3 that if they simply sent the two $20 checks they still owed me I would not send in any more receipts and they would not hear from me again. It is now April 27 and no checks and no response from them. I did contact the vacation company that gave us the offer and they said they are no longer dealing with "Gas Up America" saying they had too many complaints about this company. I know that many people would just give up and figure they had been taken, but I know that unless people speak out, companies like "Gas Up America" will continue to treat others like they have treated us.
