$1 trial memberships - an update

June 13th, 2006 at 11:07 pm

Lots of interesting posts and blogs on the subject, so I checked into a few things:

1. I have never been charged past the cancellation point (trial membership).

2. I have recently successfully signed up for offers using a $5 prepaid AmEx card, the one given free for OPEN WOB surveys. No problem going through, getting the email or g/cs. Even though I've done the offer previously.

3. The company responsible for sending out the gift cards, assigning memberships, cancelation, etc., has previously been under invesigation for false charges. Most of what I've found indicate this was in 2004, related to Trilegiant overseeing the identity theft protection for Wells Fargo. Some forums claim the problem was cleared up, and Trilegiant is on their "best behavior"; other forums chat of some problems. In any case, if you have had problems, the information for the class action case is it

Girard Gibbs LLP is investigating consumer claims that Trilegiant charged for services that they allege they did not order or request.
Consumers report that these unordered services include Auto Vantage, Buyers Advantage, CompleteHome, Clever Clubhouse, Digital ProtectionPlus, Great Fun, Great Options, HealthSaver, Hot-Line, IdentitySecure, Just for Me, National Card Registry, Netmarket.com, Pet Privileges, PrivacyGuard, Shoppers Advantage, Small Business Central, Travelers Advantage, and others.

If you've experienced these or similar problems, please let us know by completing the form below.


I have NO information about this law firm, or the class action suit, or have experienced anything but success in my trial memberships.

    It's going fine for me so far, too. I just wish I had jumped on all the ones you had posted, right away. By the time I got around to signing up for some, the offers were already gone. Lesson learned--I'll move faster next time I see one!

    I, too, have had great success with these programs. As long as you stay on top of when to cancel the trials, you should be fine.

    Finding out they take the prepaid and non-rechargeable cards...wish I'd known that earlier...less stress, and more deals (I didn't try all of them).

    And a thought...if as a company, you are going to have the $ from running a program for Wells Fargo, yeah, I'd be clean as a whistle and build a reputation that's flawless...
