Getting More Than You Asked For
When ordering two Easter flower arrangements from ProFlowers.com, I received good service and something unexpected.
Today while reviewing my bank statement, I noticed a pending $14.95 charge from Easy Saver. I do not remember buying anything by this name. After thinking about it, I Googled Easy Saver and found their name associated with ProFlowers.com in a scam.
If I remember correctly, after my first arrangement order, I got a pop up ad for 15% off or possibly free shipping. So, naturally I took the offer. This led me to being signed up for Easy Saver Rewards Club. Luckily, I found it early, and was able to stop service and get a refund by calling 1-800-355-1837. It sounded like a sweat shop of telemarketers in the background, but the lady was nice and so was I.
As a EasySaver Rewards Club member, you will have for shopping access to members-only cash back savings through the Club gift card program, as well as access to members-only savings, discounts, rebates and other benefits on specified travel, leisure and entertainment purchases and other specified products and services made available. That's fine that you offer the service, but I did not order it.
ProFlowers on the other hand will be getting an email from me. It would be in their best interest to distance themselves from this type of activity.
Should I continue to patronize ProFlowers.com?

this seems to be more common.
I wouldn't necessarily stop using proflowers.com but I would take a closer look at what's being offered.
I'm a bad shopper, I never sign up for "rewards cards" send in rebates, etc.
My philosophy is, if I don't like the price, i won't buy. Also don't make me jump through hoops if you are going to give me something.
Probably the total opposite of what a frugal person is supposed to do, but then again i'm not wasting time with botched refund attempts or having my shopping habits used for marketing data.
I've learned that anytime something seems too good to be true-it usually is. I will never buy from ProFlowers again as they scammed me w/ this Easy Saver stuff. 50% off flowers is not worth the hassle to me.
The only way to slow down Easy Saver is to not shop at proflowers; they are in this together.
