I was actually doing a search on tastebook to see if they had any new news since they got rid of their publishing piece of personal cookbooks earlier this year and came across this site of complaints about people losing all their recipes. DO YOU EVER CHECK YOUR EMAIL?! I received at least 4-6 emails from Tastebook telling me my recipes were going to be deleted if I didn't download them from their site. I'm pretty sure it was like 6 months or more notice. Their site also had a banner FOR MONTHS telling people to download their personal recipes. This should not have been a shock to anyone. I still am sad and mad at Tastebook for doing this, and I still can't find a cookbook publisher that is anywhere as good with quality and format. In that regard I HATE tastebook for leaving us high and dry. I don't understand how they didn't make enough money from doing the books and how they are making more or enough money by just having some silly blog?!

They charged my credit card even though I didn't purchase the deal. My husband and I were looking into a beer festival. I clicked on the deal to purchase and above it had two spaces to enter the names of the people who would attend the festival. Below those boxes was my credit card info already filled in because I had saved my credit card on the site. My husband wasn't sure he was available the date of the festival, so I didn't have any names to enter in the top section so I closed the window without clicking the purchase button. A week later I noticed the charge for the purchase on my credit card! I had never received a receipt in my email or anything! I contacted Living Social and they refuse to refund my purchase and I know its LAW that the paid value never expires, but they still REFUSE to give me a credit either. We can't use the tickets because we do in fact already have plans so I am still fighting with them on the fact that the PAID VALUE doesn't expire for at least 5 years (according to their website) and I expect that to be available to purchase other deals since they refuse to give me a refund. NEVER PURCHASE FROM THEM AND DO NOT SAVE YOUR CREDIT CARD INFO IN THEIR SITE!
