Bait and switch
January 8, 2020

After promising gift card rewards AND getting the survey completed you are required to order magazines that were not mentioned as part of the deal. JERKS!

The only place I left my address was for bizrate to respond with Haggar deals. Within two days I was inundated with spam. It really is BSrate, they are making money exposing your address. Total BS.

Website is free to browse & shop around. Results take you to different stores to buy items etc. Got to beware of your card when shopping. Make sure of who you trust with your credit card debit etc.

Same! I bought something from Overstock. As soon as my transaction was completed on the Overtstock check-out page, it sent me to Bizrate who promised $100 for completing a survey. When I finished, my $100 was really a page of magazines where you choose up to 4 for your time. To get your magazines, you're sent to a check-out page where you HAVE to enter your credit card information to get your subscriptions. BUT you are CHARGED $2 for EACH subscription - and that's just at the beginning. Once they have your card info, you really get STOLEN FROM! THANKS SO MUCH OVERSTOCK FOR SENDING YOUR CUSTOMER TO THE BIZRATE SCAM. NOW I'M YOUR EX-CUSTOMER.

Lure you into joining by phishing as legitimate survey about another business. Then when you click unsubscribe to their e-mails you reach a page that does not allow you to unsubscribe.

Scam be aware
December 2, 2015

I bought something on Estee Lauder this morning, when I finished my purchase it appear the survey, I (foolish) took the survey, but I didn't accept the "reward" (the magazines) my surprise was 3 hours before, when my credit card notified me that a $ 493 purchase had been made with my credit card, the same card I used with my Estee Lauder purchase. This is the first time I have a problem like that with my card so I really think this site has something to do with it. BE AWARE!

Scam, Scam, Scam!
August 24, 2021

I ordered product from Petsmart.com and got a pop-up message after placing my order asking if I would like to take a survey of how satisfied I was with my purchase through "bizrates" for a chance to win a "$100" gift card. SO here I am, my naive self, sitting here thinking they're talking about a $100 gift card to petsmart and all I have to do is take a survey - No.
I took the survey and they redirected me to a shoddy magazine site saying "Congratulations, You can pick up to 4 MAGAZINES of up to 100 dollar value for FREE!" so I was like dang it, okay fine, I'll take what I can get. I chose 4 that looked appealing to me... BUT THE SCAM DIDN'T BOTHER TO STOP THERE, FOLKS. After choosing my selected four magazines and clicking "continue" it CONTINUED to send me straight to BILLING. That's right, not even so much as a discount! And the total cost in Full of what the magazines actually cost was Not of $100 value, not even close but came to $20 value, so they couldn't even tell the truth from the get go. It was all lies. I doubt the survey even gets seen by the actual companies they say they're doing them for or matter in any way. It's all just a scamming waste of time.

Bizrate employs the 'bait and switch' tactic to lure consumers into divulging per-
Sonal/financial information (which is ILLEGAL). Furthermore, the website offers NO WAY to cancel the swindle on the website once the consumer realizes the
Ruse --- which is a violation of the consumer protection laws.

So Bizrate is like gambling. They send you email after email telling you that you qualify for surveys worth 1000 points a pop and after you fill out the entire survey and submit it, you are met with a pop up that lets you know that you don't qualify for they survey. So essentially you are doing the survey to completion only to be duped at the end. You are doing all the work for them for free. You will never receive any of the rewards that they offer. They are pretty scammy in my book, DO NOT GIVE THEM YOUR CREDIT INFO PEOPLE!

WHAT A FRAUD.
This BizRate will set cookies in your browser, Trojans on your computer and change you search provider without your okay. Then every time you purchase something or go to a website, they will pop up with rate your experience with he company you did business with.
They will make themselves appear as part of the company you just did business with or represent themselves as authorized by the company you did business with to tell them how they are doing.
Next thing you know SPAM and heaven help you if you fall for one of their "deals" that only requires shipping and handling!
They will say $2 then take out double the amount PLUS, if you don't keep an eye on your account, take more money out of it (I lost $88.83 + $2 double billed through one of their other companies "Bargain Depot Club").
If you see BizRate come up on your computer, assume two things:
#1. Your computer is or has been infected by BizRate. Immediately do whatever you have to to remove them a from your computer and run every Malware programs you can find.
If you get ripped off, do what I am doing, filing a consumer complaint as well as a fraud complaint with your States' Attorney General's Office, the Comptroller of the Currency (Comptroller is not a miss spelling), U.S. Dept. Of the Treasury, the BBB, and as for me being elderly file complaints with your States Elderly Abuse agency and as a Veteran, every Veterans Org. You can contact to make everyone aware of this company.

I warned you all that if my money was not returned that I would raise holy hell. You thought I was joking.
Guess what? I WAS NOT JOKING.
