If you do a lot of online shopping from a very limited amount of stores then perhaps this would be a great thing for you, however, if you did not break out the microscope before signing up then It is understandable that many call this company a scam. True is the review that states silly people signing up without reading everuthing, at the same time, I looked & looked again for any mention of a recurring fee and did not see that anywhere on the website that I signed up on or I never would have agreed to such a membership. I do not ever ever ever allow any company for any reason to automatically charge me for anything on a monthly basis. So I feel like I was pretty careful to check for that. That does not mean it is not listed somewhere but the way this deal is presented and the way they marketed is very deceitful. The company may not be a scam but the way they recruit you and dip into your credit card every month (which I'm sure many are not even aware of) is wrong. If they were more forthcoming they would probably have more happy members that are willing to agree to the terms of their membership instead of everyone complaining and feeling like they are being rubbed
Hi Cristina,
Thank you for your feedback. We're sorry you feel that way! I'd love to help explain where the recurring fee is displayed to users upon signing up. The details of the 7-day free trial and the $12.97 membership fee are located on the sign up page directly above where users enter their credit card information, and you must agree to our Terms of Use before successfully registering as a member. The details regarding the membership fee and trial period are also reiterated in the welcome email sent out to all new users after signing up with us.
If you have any further concerns or questions about our site, please feel free to contact us at customerservice@freeshipping.com for assistance. Thank you!
Sincerely,
The FreeShipping.com Team
