Legit but sneaky

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
I was conscious about the 30 day trial period, their contact information and what they registered me for. They charged me $2 for Great Fun and travel advantage, I set a reminder on my phone for cancellation. I mailed in my rebates ($2.5 for stamps), then after 2 weeks when I didn’t receive it, I called to follow up and cancel. I received $70 rebates and their cancellation confirmation at the same time. It’s difficult to keep a track on the time and process but it’s crucial to have reminders and follow up. They are legit but sneaky, carful people!

SCAM/Fraud

I got stuck with their MONTHLY charges through Ticketmaster. By ordering tickets online through Ticketmaster we got automatically enrolled to the tune of $17.99 per month.

Because my husband gets the statements and pays the bills the charges were never questioned - until today. We have been charged for months for something we had no use for or didn't even know we had.

I will never purchase tickets to anything via Ticketmaster again.

Because I threatened to go to our State Attorney General about this company they agreed to refund the past year's payment. A fair warning to anyone dealing with Ticketmaster; make sure you're not getting stuck with something you don't want.

I bought tickets for lil uzi vert and g-eazy less than a month ago. I had to speak to Ticket Liquidator over the phone because I wasn’t finding my ticket, but it turned out I just checked the wrong email. Once that was resolved they transferred my call to the infamous Great Fun. Who then pressured me into signing up for a membership over the span of an hour. Promising two 25$ rebates. Never received. Just tried to call 800-290-**** and cancel my “free” membership and the lady then promised me another “free” month as well as a hard copy of my rebate seeing as they never emailed me. I then began to ask if I cancelled now would I still get the hard copy? She disregarded me repeated the same info and hung up. I then called back another number 800-290-**** and demanded my cancelation after seeing this site. She attempted to read my cancellation number as quick as possible and hang up I had to make her repeat it 5 TIMES to get to a readable pace. I then told her to have a good day to which she replied “mhm”. Is this over? Maybe I’ll have an update next month if these *** decide to charge me

Unauthorized charges

This company has somehow gotten a hold of my credit card account. There are 2 unauthorized charges of $16.99. These charges have put me over my limit and I want these charges taken off of my card.

Got charged too! tlg Great Fun is a scam

2 charges of $16.99 have been taken out of my account. No info was given or sent to us.

They said it was processed during a transaction I did with Ticketmaster and a welcome package had been sent to us. Never got anything. All BS, called to cancel and got refunded only when I escalated to a manager.

Beware on this online trap to get discount tickets, some popups cam up during the transaction on Ticketmaster and we apparently inadvertently click yes or check something along the way to trigger this process . Very sleazy marketing practice !

To cancel call 877 488 **** option 1, ask to cancel and then ask for a supervisor to refund, they will do it.

Great Fun Scam

My husband "signed up" for this apparently when he got a shuttle ride home from the airport. He doesn't know how, but they had his email address and credit card number. I feel stupid to say that we were charged for 6 months before I started to question what this charge was. Like others in these reviews have said, when I called the # their customer service people were very friendly. The initial representative was only authorized to refund 4 months, so she transferred me to a supervisor who was also very kind and helpful. In all, my refund will be $101.97. I should receive it within 7 days. If I don't, I will post again on here. What I learned from this, read your credit card/ bank statements very carefully, and question all transactions you don't recognize right away.

Rebates Not Worth the Trouble

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
I originally signed up because the first month was free and was told I would get a $50 rebate within a month of signing up! I signed up in February, sent a rebate form back in March. I didn’t mind paying 1 month to recieve $50. By June, I still had not received my check. After months of calls, I was finally told my check had been sent back, yet they never informed me? I was charged all my months up through June (but did get refunded after speaking with several tiers of management) When I finally got the check in late June, it was dated for April. I deposited it but it bounced. Yes, bounced. I was charged a fee by my bank. On the phone (yet again) with GF to get a new valid check plus the coverage of my fees and they are saying they can reissue a check but there is nothing they can do about the fees since I am the one who cashed an invalid check (that no one ever told me was invalid) Obviously I have cancelled my membership.

Scam Company Who Gets Your Info From Reputable Sites

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

This company received my information through tickets I purchased through TicketFly. I was charged $1 for a 30 day trial and was then told I would receive a $50 rebate and a welcome packet within 2 weeks. I never received the welcome packet and I never received a rebate. I canceled the subscription after the 2 weeks, and well within the 30 day trial. This was in September of 2015. Come to find out that they have been charging me $16.99/month on a card I never use ever since. In fact, the card they initially had the info of was canceled in May of 2016, so at the very least, the charges should have stopped then. They didn't. They were somehow able to make 23 more charges to a card that no longer existed.

I called customer service today, and they said they had no record of my ever having called. I spoke to Paul who gave me a confirmation number for the cancellation. He said as a "courtesy" they were mailing me a check for the $50 I was promised. I asked Paul to confirm the last four of the card they had charged, and I gave him the last four that appeared on the statement for September 2015, showing the initial $1 charge. He said that was not the card they showed. So now they're saying they charged a card that NEVER existed.

I was transferred to a supervisor to deal with the fraudulent charges, Mary Perez (30982), and she said that they had my card ending in the last four that I had just given Paul as the initial card charged. Funny how that suddenly popped up. She also confirmed that all calls are recorded and it showed that I had never called. She said in June 2016 they had a new card number, which matched the last four of my current card number. I asked her how they got my new card number if I had never called and provided it. She said she did not know, but that all calls are recorded. I told her that she and Paul had just said they showed NO RECORD of my ever calling, so it was impossible for her to have my new card info. She told me again that all calls are recorded. I asked her to provide me with the call recording of me giving them the new card number. She said she couldn't do that because she didn't show any calls.

She then offered to refund me for one year's worth of charges, which she assured me was tied to the same confirmation number as my cancellation. I told her that I needed to speak to someone who could refund me for the 31 unauthorized charges, not just 12 of them, and she said she could transfer me to the office of the president. She said that it might go to voicemail, and to leave my name and number and they would respond in 1-2 business days. Surprise surprise it didn't even ring, and went straight to voicemail.

Scam fun

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
scam scam scam please avoid this company. ANY money saved it taken out by auto withdraws without your permission. Also you will be charged for 2 subscriptions each is 16.99. i actually feel terrible for the people working there because they have to deal with angry people calling in to end their drain on their bank accounts. DO NOT SUPPORT this company - they treat both their customers poorly as well as their employees. I do not know how it can continue to be legal to continue with their business. And oh my goodness I have to write a minimum of 100 words to submit this review! what else can I say? Don't use Great Fun unless fun to you is getting overcharged

They keep charging my credit card over a free trial offer that I cancelled back in December of 2017. Now they are fraudiently trying to blame my husband on this who doesn't even know why they would

I cancelled a free trial offer in December of 2017 for a rejuvenation cream that did not work. January they sent the product again.

Again I called them and told them to not send me this product because I have already cancelled this offer. They charged my credit card again.

I called my credit card and disputed the charge. My credit card honored my request and stop that charge for February. They charged my credit card again.

Now I am not getting any product, and they are constantly still charging my credit card. Some slick customer service rep get on the call claiming she can't find any evidence of me cancelling this. Which is a lie I've cancelled this at least 3 times, and she now pretends that someone else in my house hold has charge this account again. There is no one else in my household but my husband.

I had my credit card to dispute this charge, and she tried to say my husband did this. So I talk to my credit card dispute department and actually paid the amount again, because they claimed the first call that I made was not within the shutoff time, and now my account should be at zero. Well I just received my statement for May which should not have a charge from this company and there it is again. I called them again and now they are still trying to claimed my husband charge this again.

First of all why would my husband call the same company that I've been having problems with about a rejuvenation cream. Now they are trying to find any scam they can come up with to keep taking my money.

My husband is pissed that they would try and blame this on him. I have filed a complaint with the BBB,

I almost got sucked into this program after booking with Super Shuttle. I'm glad I looked the company up before I made a commitment.

SCAM! Suggest you do no further business with compaies who refer

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
I purchased a laptop battery from BatteryMonster.com that turned out to be the wrong battery. After dealing with the "Customer Care" person I was told I qualified for a no obligation, free, $15 visa gift card as a reward for being a new customer. The "Great Fun" agent came on the line and told me about the great offer. I searched the internet and saw the negative reviews. I declined the offer. Shame on BatteryMonster,com for refer to an internet scammer. I will not do business with BatteryMonster.com again. Birds of a feather flock together. Thank you for the heads-up helping me avoid an internet scammer.

Great Fun & Buyers Advantage via SuperShuttle

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

I booked a SuperShuttle, and at the end there was an offer for a rebate. I've never had any problems with SuperShuttle before, so I assumed it would be legitimate--because why would a company I trust pair with one I wouldn't?

Well stupid me for not doing some internet research before calling the number to get the rebate. I had never done a rebate before, so I thought I'd try it. I called, and that's when they told me about the Great Fun trial, and whatnot. As they read the terms and conditions, I thought it sounded pretty reasonable, so again, without doing research like an idiot, I agreed.

Then they read more terms and conditions to me, which sounded exactly the same. I thought they were just reconfirming, but it turns out I was also signed up for Buyer's Advantage--something I discovered after the fact when I did more research and realized I was given two phone numbers to cancel the accounts. After seeing the negative reviews on this site, I called the next day to cancel, but I was told it wasn't processed yet, and once I was charged the $1, my membership would be processed and would be able to cancel. I signed up on Thursday, and today on the following Monday, I was "charged" $1.

Fortunately, I use Chase Bank, and they flagged it as fraud and alerted me that the charge was declined. Immediately, I called Buyer's Advantage and Great Fun to have both accounts cancelled. I took down the confirmation numbers and have received confirmation emails of cancellation from both companies. I've seen some posts where some people have still been charged despite cancelling the accounts.

I plan to keep a close eye on my credit card statements. After Chase flagged it as fraud, I did respond that it was a charge I made, because I didn't want my card to get cancelled. But I'm sure that if it appears again, it won't be hard to contest the charge with Chase, and I'll definitely have harsh words with whichever representative I speak with. Last resort, the attorney general's website recommends that scams like these, you simply cancel the card and have it reissued.

But overall, I think the companies are being more transparent since the last lawsuit. I cancelled with Buyer's Advantage first since they were the first to try to charge me.

When I called Great Fun afterwards, they informed me that my account was associated with both Great Fun and Buyer's Advantage, and they offered to transfer me to a Buyer's Advantage representative to cancel that account as well. I do think they're a shady company, and obviously many others including Chase Bank agrees; but I do appreciate the transparency and wish they would have been that transparent with everyone else.
