I purchased two travel vouchers for a total of $198 from Tippr for Bill Brown's Plaza Travel. These vouchers are not being honored and I have contacted Wells Fargo. The vouchers had one year to be redeemed and it is now past the 90 days. It is unlikely my funds will be returned. My personal recommendation is DO NOT BUY FROM TIPPR. They have not responded but Bill Brown's Plaza Travel said that Tippr has not paid and the vouchers will NOT be honored.

I purchased on item on 9/24 and my card was charged on 9/25/14. I also purchased 2 Quilted water resistant pet protection slip cover at $35 each and my card was charged on 10/10/14.
When I ordered the items it stated that it will take 2-4 weeks delivery. Well, it is now Nov. 2014 and no shipment.

I finally sent them an email on Nov. 20 2014, received a response on Nov. 22nd and the response was "it's been escalated to management.

DO NOT SUPPORT THIS BUSINESS. THEY SHOULDN'T BE IN BUSINESS IN THE FIRST PLACE.

I purchased some deals from nCrowd back in Feb 2015; 3 months later I asked them where are my orders and they said their stock ran out (and didn't even think about contacting me about this), so they will offer me 2x the store credits. I didn't find any deal I like after that so didn't really use it.
Just last night (ok maybe I should have noticed it earlier) I found out they are broke and changed their name to BoomStreet, and they are not giving people their money back! I still have ~$70 with them, the least they could have done was to inform customers they are closing down and remind us to use our store credits, but no they didn't even do that.

Praise the Lord - I called my bank (ScotiaBank), at first the lady said they can't do anything because the transaction was more than 90 days (as I expected and I don't blame them), but when I asked them what I should do in this case, she asked around, transferred my call to the dispute department - and they decided to dispute the transaction for me!
If nCrowd still owes you money, call you credit card company asap and tell your friends not to go anything related to nCrowd/Boomstreet!

I am frustrated that I had to have my $50 voucher that I purchased from ncrowd in good faith rejected by Rocco Plum Tomato because they say that ncrowd is a scam. They say that ncrowd is not paying them and is going out of business.
My total bill was $59.66 and I expected that $50 would be deducted as agreed by the $25 purchase of the voucher. That was not the case. I am out of pocket the entire amount and $18.75 was promised to be added in my ncrowd account which did not happen. The $18.75 was credited to my mastercard eventually.
What an insult! Why was the $50 not covered as per our AGGREEMENT? The entire transaction was a complete embarrassment for me at the restaurant. This should never happen. I will not be out of pocket and I have already filed a complaint with the Better Business Bureau and allowed the media to be contacted as a first step.
DO NOT SHOP AT NCROWD AS IT IS A SCAM! The only person that helped in the past-Carl Short is not responding? I have sent emails with no response. Stay away from ncrowd... buyer beware!
You cannot trust that the voucher you buy will be honored so what is the point. Who needs this aggravation?

I purchased a custom canvas deal from EthicalDeal.com ('powered by nCrowd') in June, and decided to use it in early September. When I logged on to redeem it, I noticed that I couldn't find the vendor associated with the deal. I emailed nCrowd's customer service and received a reply saying that the vendor is "no longer able to honour" their vouchers, and that I would receive a credit on their site instead of a refund. At first, I thought that the vendor was the bad party, but after reading the reviews here, I don't blame them for no longer honouring nCrowd's vouchers.

I was also disappointed that I wouldn't be receiving a refund, but thinking that nCrowd was a legitimate business at that time, I was OK with the credit, as I thought I would be getting another deal sometime in the near future. Lo and behold, Ethicaldeal/nCrowd's site stopped having deals up on their sites in early October, and when I emailed them asking when they would have deals again and whether I can get a refund instead, I received the same stock answer that everyone else did - from the same person who replied to me initially! (See pictures)

I may have only lost $23.20, but it is money that I could have spent on a legitimate business, and the way that this business has scammed so many people here upsets me. I wish there was a way to shut Boomstreet down as well. If only we could shut down their Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/BoomStreetUS/

So ridiculous how they can just come back under a new name to scam more people.

I bought 7 Safari Niagara Vouchers for my daycare. It looked like a regular voucher just like any other ones I have purchased before. The voucher noted that it also came with a $20 outback steakhouse coupon, but you needed to pick this up at Embassy Suites in Niagara falls, way out of the way, but we didn't care as we weren't going to use the restaurant vouchers anyway so we didnt need to go there. My daycare drove all the way up to the Safari with 5 kids and they were turned away! Even though they had the vouchers each with tkt # and scanning code on it, they were told they needed to drive back to the Embassy to pick the tickets up, this was about 2 hrs out of their way, not doing this with 5 kids in the car, so they ended up paying full price which was more than double the cost. As I now have to pay all the parents back for their un-used vouchers I immediately requested a refund since we no longer can use them, nCROWD absolutely refused, claiming they only have to refund if it is within 7 days. They will not address the fact that we were turned away. They will not address that their voucher is misleading and only states you need to pick up restaurant voucher at Embassy. Dismal and dishonest service, Reputable companies refund un-used vouchers, this company is no longer reputable in my books. Plus i see now that they also owe alot of the merchants. I highly recommend people do not buy anything from them. As it stands now I am out of pockets for all 7 tickets plus the cost to refund the other parents, so almost $200.

I can't use my prepaid vouchers in at least two local restaurants due to "non-payment" from nCrowd!
Why are they not passing on the monies?

So I purchased this 4 day 3 night hotel offer thinking that I would get a deal because they advertise only having to pay for fee which were 20-75.00 per night. Well I paid my 44.00.

So I went to the website to redeem my offer and completed the form. It took more than a week for the company to respond. Then when they did it was only by email causing me to loose the first quote for the hotel which was way over what was advertised $462.00. Then by the time the representative (Ben) got back to me and I responded to him, the price had changed from 462.

To 522.48. I couldn't watch my email because of being at work and the representative wouldn't contact me by phone. This went on for days. Finally my hotel reservation got booked, on the day that I was supposed to leave.

I didn't get confirmation until 6:30 pm that evening and check in time was 3:00 pm. I had to leave for my destination without confirmation and on the way I called the hotel itself because customer service representatives at nCrowd are very non-responsive. I emailed Ben twice in the morning and the headquarters days before. I even called them.

No response. This was very stressful. I was desperate because it was my birthday weekend and i had to go to take my late husband's ashes who was a retired Veteran. This was really important to me because was also exactly a month after his passing.

They also advertised a free dinner or a grocery card. So I emailed the customer service Representative again and after waiting for a week for someone to help me I did it again. Well today someone responded and told me to go to this site and access my grocery card. To my surprise the site was to buy grocery coupons.

Not to get free coupons but to buy them. WOW. Unbelievable. Please whatever you do, do not purchase any vacations packages like this.

It's not worth you time and money. They are very deceptive and I could have gotten the same price without having to pay 44.00 for it.
