I, too, was unaware of the $49.95 monthly charge for what they call their VIP membership. I have no recollection of saying yes to this membership. I do, however, recall that I did not want to participate in any type of membership as it was to be a one-time purchase. It must be a little check box that I neglected to uncheck. I did just call and cancel my subscription. Originally I was told to go online and make a purchase for the $49.95. I did attempt to do this but all the potential items that I might have been interested are out of stock. I called back and requested my $49.95 refunded to my card. Supposedly this will happen within 7 business days. I did ask for and receive a confirmation number and will be checking my card to ensure that this take place. I would NOT recommend this site as I believe the idea of charging someone $49.95 per month, unless you log in and uncheck some type of "skip" box is ridiculous. The clothing that I originally purchased was just fine but this has turned me off any further purchases.
