Bizrate

After posting a review of a company vendor, Bizrate offered me magazine subscriptions for $2 ea., which I took. About 4 months later, some magazine I never asked for, charged my credit card for $90 and I had to have the charge declined, which took some time. A few weeks later, ANOTHER magazine charge, so I refuted that charge and got a new credit card # issued. They are nothing more than SCAM ARTISTS.

said my email...
is not real?

REAL LEE?

Need 51 more letters - Site Jabber is stupid* I have to login every time I open up one of the emails!
LOL

I've been able to successfully redeem the $2 annual magazine subscriptions several times and made it work by marking the renewal date on my calendar so I can call and make sure they don't renew automatically at the regular expensive rate. However, the survey thing I think is a complete scam. The suspicious thing about it is that every time you click on a survey or complete one, it has your browser hang and hang and hang for such a long time (one said "Checking your internet capabilities") that the only reasonable answer would be that they're installing multitudes of cookies and gathering info from my computer. Every time you complete a survey it says DON'T CLOSE YOUR BROWSER YET! IF YOU CLOSE YOUR BROWSER BEFORE THE COUNTDOWN IS COMPLETE YOU WON'T RECEIVE YOUR POINTS! No legitimate survey company does anything remotely like this. So all I can surmise is that bizrate surveys are NOT SAFE. And not worth all the effort, tracking, and suspicious activity that ensues.

I was told I would get a free year subscription to up to 4 magazines. Never saw anything but a bill. Disputed the charge with my credit card company. They're a bunch of filthy liars and thieves

So I get an invitation to join, awesome, I'll try it out. You get X amount of points for a survey and X amount gets you a gift card. Doesn't list anywhere how much the gc is for so I answer surveys honestly to try and redeem a gc to see if it's actually worth my time. I take 20 mins of my time answering questions honestly only to kicked out of that one (no points earned) and start another one. This goes on and on until I finally get a chance to redeem a gc, again I have no idea how much it's for just want to see if it makes sense to keep doing. I put in my phone number just to be told it's not a valid #. Um it is literally my phone #. I contact customer service to see what is up...they'll get back to me. I try to make sure my profile has my accurate # and I'm logged out, my password doesn't work. I try to reset numerous times can't get in no email link sent to reset no communication whatsoever until a couple days and customer service said you violated Clint's terms and conditions, we removed your account, you can't redeem rewards and the is non reversible. Like what in the actual f*ck?!?! I log in answer surveys and when I try to redeem my earned award you just kick me out! STAY AWAY PEOPLE, don't waste your time.

Recently I purchased books online, and suddenly an online survey appeared, offering $25 for taking the survey. Initially I thought the site belonged to the reputable book company, but realized later that it was BIZRATE, ROGUES I HAVE AVOIDED SINCE SEVERAL YEARS. I started to get suspicious after I noticed that the survey was combining what seemed like 'legitimate' questions, with a lot of unnecessary personal details that BIZRATE UNDOUBTEDLY IS SELLING CUSTOMERS' PERSONAL INFORMATION TO OTHER SCAMSTERS/MARKETERS FOR LARGE SUMS OF MONEY-TO FILL OUR SPAM FILTERS. There have been too many reviews like this on this site, and it is time government authorities penalize BIZRATE and take them off the market. I will not be surprised if they come back with a different name in that case--with the same or similar mode of operation!

The amount of information you need to provide upfront in their survey for the "$100 reward" is unsettling. You're giving away so much more than this "reward" is worth, and you still have to agree to subscribe to magazines (and pay for them) to get it. Who wants to pay for magazine subscriptions? EVERYTHING IS AVAILABLE ON THE INTERNET THAT IS AVAILABLE IN A MAGAZINE. Total garbage scam. Don't trust them or give them a single byte of info.

Completed survey that was prompted by telling me I was selected to receive $100. AFTER completing survey and giving ALL my information I find out its for $100 worth of (4 free) magazines. To add insult to injury... after picking 4 "free" magazines they ask for a credit card to process my "FREE" order. So basically they got what they wanted and I got JACK. NO MAGAZINES LOSS OF TIME AND ENERGY COMPLETING THEIR SURVEY. Despicable business practices! TERRIBLE!

Thought I was getting a $100 gift code for the site I purchased from and it was $100 of 4 magazines with a $3 processing fee. Lame. Not as advertised. Scam

I bought a horse fly sheet less than a month ago. The sheet tore. It is a RAMBO brand sheet and cost over $170.00. Valley Vet refuses to replace or repair.

On 5/23 I received an e-mail from them regarding a cancelled purchase from ThinkGeek. I responded on their feedback form that the purchase was CANCELLED and they shouldn't send e-mails asking to rate a product until they actually verified that the order was fulfilled and not... you know... CANCELLED.

Then on 5/28 I received a "reminder" e-mail to rate my order. The one that, you know, was CANCELLED. I have since blocked their entire domain because I do not enjoy being harassed about orders and especially not CANCELLED orders.

My advice? Avoid this company and any company that partners with them.

Ever since switching to GCodes to pay out rewards, it is one big FAIL after another. They used to pay out $5 gift cards directly but now don't even do that. Total scam for your time. Don't bother.

I purchased 2 Ameriglide stair for my mothers house. The site was official and the price was good. You are not buying from the factory, but the nearest distributor. Installation was a disaster, the job was not complete, the lower chair was wobbly, and the installer did not want to dispose of the many cardboard boxes. We contacted the site wiith our complaints, and were told by the sales department that when you buy something at walmart the box is yours. WOW! We did pay for installation. We also complained that the lower chair was wobbly and needed additional support. We were told that the installer only had to do minimum supports, We also had a problem with the lower chair intermittently stopping from the beginning, and after 2 months was able to finally get their service/installer out to the house at our expense. The needed lower support was installed, and we were told nothing was wrong with the chair. Meanwhile the chair continued to give us problems, until finally 6 months later it completely quite. The chairs are 10 months old now). We contacted the official site where we bought the chairs, and waited over 1 week for a response to acknowledge the issue. It has now been two weeks since the chair quit, and we have yet to receive a appointment for repair. Know my mother has to walk the lower stairs at 90 years old, trying to get around the obstruction of the dead chair.
I would recommend you find a local lift chair company, even it it cost 25% more. And do not buy from AMERIGLIDE.

ECONONY SHIPPING A JOKE. THE COMPANY DOES NOT MAIL YOUR ITEM FOR 4-7 DAYS... PER THE COMPANY IT IS SENT TO A FACILITY WHO MAILS IT OUT...

STAY CLEAR OF THIS COMPANY GO TO AMAZON! TWO DAY SHIPPING TO RECIEVE YOUR ITEM

NOW TRYING TO GET A TRACKING NUMBER AS ONE WAS NEVER SENT... BUYER BE AWARE!

UPDATE... ITEM ORDERED ON JULY 2 USPS TRACKING NOT ISSUED TILL TODAY FRIDAY JULY 8 VERY BAD CUSTOMER SERVICE... 6 DAYS TO PLACE YOUR PACKAGE IN THE MAIL. STILL NOT AT USPS FACILITY THEY JUST SENT INFO AFTER I CALLED VISA FOR HELP WITH THIS COMPANY!

This is a huge waste of time. Stay away. They send you emails to take surveys which will take your information and most surveys will end the survey after several minutes. Total waste of time.

It said you could get up to $100 for filling out a survey, only at the end of the survey do you find out that it's up to $100 worth of magazine subscriptions. I don't read or want any magazines.

Spent over 4 hours to get the necessary 5K points for redemption of online giftcard only to receive $5 egiftcard for Amazon. I would have made more working in sweatshops of India.

After promising gift card rewards AND getting the survey completed you are required to order magazines that were not mentioned as part of the deal. JERKS!

The only place I left my address was for bizrate to respond with Haggar deals. Within two days I was inundated with spam. It really is BSrate, they are making money exposing your address. Total BS.

Website is free to browse & shop around. Results take you to different stores to buy items etc. Got to beware of your card when shopping. Make sure of who you trust with your credit card debit etc.

DONT BUY HERE! I recently worked for over 2 years at a spa tub cover making company. This company is family run by a single owner. One of the reasons I left the company is that the owner lies and commits fraudulent business with the customers. I probably made your cover. Product upgrades are offered, charged, and paid for that do not even exist. The customer has no idea they are paying for a fictitious upgrade.these are on the website. This is unethical and literally stealing from the customer. These can be found on the websites. Vapor barrier we use is 4 mil, and 6 mil. They double up 4 mil for a double barrier. That's It! His site offers standard 4 mil, "double thick" for +$20, "triple thick" for +&29, and "double thick double wrap" fir - $41. These are fictional and do not get done and do not exist. Also foam density He has is 1# and 1.5#. His sites offer 1#, 1 5# and 2#. He got rid of 2 # foam years ago and keeps it in the computer as an option. Stating no customer would ever know. The upgrade on a 2# oversize density is +$277 dollars. He sells 2# upgrades all day to poor unsuspecting customers and people who get 1 5 # get the exact same thing. His sites also talk about oven moisture free foam. That's a lie the foM sits outside a lot of the time getting rained on. The plastic is sealed by hand using a stick to push the air out holes are taped up with box tape. This company acts as two companies as well. Beyond nice.com, and spacoverinc.net. They are the same location and same dirty small shop

Same! I bought something from Overstock. As soon as my transaction was completed on the Overtstock check-out page, it sent me to Bizrate who promised $100 for completing a survey. When I finished, my $100 was really a page of magazines where you choose up to 4 for your time. To get your magazines, you're sent to a check-out page where you HAVE to enter your credit card information to get your subscriptions. BUT you are CHARGED $2 for EACH subscription - and that's just at the beginning. Once they have your card info, you really get STOLEN FROM! THANKS SO MUCH OVERSTOCK FOR SENDING YOUR CUSTOMER TO THE BIZRATE SCAM. NOW I'M YOUR EX-CUSTOMER.

I think I got sucked into this survey site because after doing some online shopping, a popup asked me to review my experience. I guess I wasn't paying attention and didn't uncheck the box to join up. At first I thought I would try it and the experience was pretty good at first. I racked up about 1100 points and then I stopped having any success with any of the surveys given to me. I get emails from them about new surveys but upon starting them am told that I don't qualify. It'll find me new ones with the promise of "Based on your profile, you qualify for this survey." Okay, that sounds good. I haven't answered many questions of the new survey when I'm suddenly kicked out and told I'm not a good fit or I don't qualify. So they think I qualify based on my profile, but then I actually don't. And, yes, my profile is pretty much complete, so there's no excuse there. I thought it was fun at first but now it's really off-putting to be wasting my time for nothing. I haven't been able to finish a survey and get compensated for them in months. Not sure what I can do with the 1100 points. I was told a few more surveys can get me an eGift Card. How many more is "a few"? Not sure I want to continue if I'm just never going to be able to successfully complete any of these surveys anymore.
