I noticed an unusual charge on a credit card statement. I called the number next to the description of the charge on my CC statement to find out what it was for.
To make a long story short... I found out that I was being charged $7.00/month on 3 different credit cards! All by this company, WLI ReservationRewards.com. I first asked them to tell me what I had been getting for my $7 per month and I got the B.S. Story I expected but they offered, very quickly; to cancel my account. I said calmly again that I had never received anything of value from them and I didn't think it was right that they keep my money. The person then offered to refund 6 months of charges (I had been charged for almost a year) I then asked, working hard to stifle my fury; if they would credit it all back to my card. They quickly agreed to do that. (This just happened, so I have not received the credits yet but I don't think they would want to use that as a ploy to get me off the phone. I will promptly update this report if I do not receive credit.)
It seems they got my name and card from several different web sites we had used, www.choicehotels.com, www.priceline.com and www.fandango.com When you complete a purchase or reservation you are asked if you want a $10 coupon or other offer, if you say yes, you get stuck with their charge. I have a big problem with these sites and how this offer is presented and consummated. Just be careful with this kind of thing in future.
So I suggest that anyone who discovers this rip-off from WLI RESERVATIONREWARDS on their credit card to do the same thing I did, suppress your urge to climb through the phone and choke the living s. T out of the person on the other end and just calmly ask for your money back. They obviously know they are running a very slim scam and are willing to do this to avoid any problems that a disgruntled public could bring down on them.
Hopefully enough folks will ask for their money back that they will change the way they do business. But a word of caution read the fine print! Maybe the Attorney General in Connecticut would be interested, huh?
Good luck
