Shame on you Media Play
Boy am I mad. Yes, in fact mad as hell. Here's the deal. I go to Media Play and purchase some music with my credit card. The checkout girl makes me an offer for some free stuff like a gift certificate for $10 bucks and a whole array of neat stuff. Free TRIAL magazine subscription etc. I pretty well got everything as spelled out except I get a credit card bill last night and had two unauthorized charges for 2 lousy magazines I never bought. Upon calling the card company it was pointed out the Media Play has this gig where you sign up for a FREE TRIAL but then in the small print they then hit you with charges for a full year subscription after you have all but forgotten you ever joined the REPLAY CLUB. The more things change the more they stay the same. Just yesterday I watched a replay of Leave It To Beaver. Remember the one where the Beav joins a record club? Hey Dad They're doing it to me again!!!
Well in the old days these low life bottom feeder companys could just skrew you till you were blue and you just had to take it. I told these guys I was going to blog this, so here it is.
The Replay Club is slimy and you will be slimed. The MediaPlay customer service team sent me back a warm letter telling me that everything is strictly legal and warning me that if I publish any part of their reply there would be legal repurcussions. So I will refrain. However I certainly am free to let everybody know the gist of the message. It is this.
You are a little rube, and we have everything in writing, so piss off.
Yeah I'm a little pissed off. So I hope this bunch of slime feel the buzz. Watch your back in this store!

I've never heard of that store, but Best Buy does something similar (but not as bad). You get 8 free issues of a certain magazine, but you have to remember to cancel after that or you will be charged for a year's subscription. :-/
I love it when someone exposes bad business practices. Thanks. What you just did was you lost them at least one future customer (me).
Hi! I came over here because I thought your comment to my blog was funny! Are you still a barber?
I am sorry you got scammed like that! I hate it when stores/companies do things like that! I am always very careful about excepting any offers, especially when they offer free trials! Bleck!
