hi all,

 

Had an offer from Amazon to get a free £10 amazon credit if you take free trial with ticket2saxe, has anybody got any knowledge about these people, have tried on google without much luck just there own website?

 

thanks

Was this by email and did it have a link in the text to click. If so then be cautious and if you are thinking of taking up the offer then email Amazon direct and ask them about it.

no it was on the amazon site after I had paid along with the Vistaprint one

This is a well-established viral sales technique, it also works for 'free' software, that you are given an unlock code if you purchase a service or product - normally it involves you buying something from one vendor to provide a lead-in to another. Quite normal, as long as you know when to stop!

Ticket2Save have taken £14.95 from my bank account on two occasions now - they insist I signed up with them when I ordered from Amazon. I have cancelled the 'membership' but they refuse to refund me

It is very difficult to prove wrongdoing, especially if you have provided them with your card details. What were you supposed to get in exchange?

As far as I can tell, I signed up for message alerts on tickets and performances in my area. There is absolutely no way I would have done this, even if it was free! But they have my card details so I must have done so. I have asked for a copy of the 'contract'. My post was to warn others of what appears to be a very clever [problem].

Evidence that they have your card details (and that you've effectively paid for their service) is usually enough to prove that a contract exists, so all they need to do is confirm when and where your details were provided, nothing more. Many of these 'sales' depend of confusion marketing, and often catch out the unwary with 'hidden' T&C windows that appear behind the screen you are reading, this is why it is vitally important to ensure you never disclose your card numbers to firms that ask for them, EVEN if it supposedly just to confirm you're 'Over 18' and the like.

 

Since credit cards will only protect with Section 75 if the debit is for more than £100 (a single debit, not cumulative) a reversal is hard to achieve. For debit cards, there is not s75 and the bank will simply say ask the merchant for a refund. Intermediate services (like Paypal - when offered) keep your number secret, and no additional debits can be taken without you explicitly authorising it.
