Signed up with rewards network with an account *** that I dealt with in the past. He told me they would bring in only new customers and if they started to cannibalize my business, they would be able to exclude networks and zip codes. He also told me I could cancel any time if it was not working out and that if they started to take too much money, he could stop things like big payouts since this is what I was worried about. Once you let a company into your books it's hard to get them out... he told me not to worry and they are huge company, and they have so many restaurants with them they would never be as successful as they are if they were not legit. Well, the first two weeks things looked ok but after that I noticed that they claimed they were bringing in a lot of new customers, but my sales were actually going down. What could this mean? Well, this means they are charging you for the same customers that were coming in to begin with. Very little new customers. Their weekly fees started to get to over $800 per week so I called multiple times complaining that they were canalizing my customers that they were claiming they were theirs. Sales *** get me the same bs all these guys say. "I will take care of it." my *** tells me... blah blah blah. Never did anything he just feeds you bs to stall you for weeks so they can keep collecting funds for doing nothing. He was able to get me one $500 credit which took two weeks to get mean while they are getting $500+++ per week from you for your own customers. I thought to myself what a scam this is, but this is just the tip of the iceberg with this company from my experience. There is a limit to how much I can type here so I will say I uncovered more shady practices that should be illegal and probably are, but I will hold off for now. Hopefully there is some resolution here or I will seeking legal counsel.Business Response

I participate in the TrueBlue Dining Program through Jet Blue and administered by Rewards Network. They offered me a bonus of 500 miles for dining within 30 days. I did so and did not get the bonus. They then told me I had to submit a review. I did so and still no bonus. Now when I contact them they do not respond at all.Business Response
Date: 12/02/2024
We appreciate this member's feedback. We have reviewed this member's account and determined that the bonus was not earned because all qualifying activities were not completed. We explained the requirements to earn the bonus, and as a courtesy, we extended the requested bonus as a one-time courtesy credit. We trust that this resolves the member's concerns.Initial Complaint

After a few years of being with them to get you to borrow money from them, which Ive just paid back, they take money out of your account every week. Ive only told them OK. Im done paying you guys. I want to be off your program. Theyre telling me I wont be able to get off until the Beginning of September so Im like on their marketing phase now so they continue to take money out of my account. I dont need them to do any marketing and I told them so no they just keep taking money from me and the person that was taking care of my account isnt with them anymore , and the person that took over got offended because I told him that I did not want to be on the program anymoreBusiness Response

We have tried to cancel the services from rewards network for three months. They have confirmed multiple times that they have canceled our account and that we are due a refund. We keep getting new charges every week. They have not done anything that they said they would do.Business Response

Hello,
Thank you for reaching out to us with this concern. After evaluating the history of this matter, it appears that we immediately deleted your account in early April and issued a refund for transactions occurring after your requested deletion date. We hope that this resolves this issue, and we sincerely apologize for the less than stellar experience.

Each transaction is listed weekly in a statement and they charge a 20% for marketing and sending people. Every week I receive a list of transactions made on my merchant account and relative charges.

Company heavily solicited me to join their new Groupon+ Cashback program. I registered my Credit Card and made two purchases at restaurants since. I received confirmation emails from them about the transactions, so I know they were received. However, I can not see them in my account, and *******'s customer service has been USELESS. All I get are useless copied and pasted canned replies from outsourced idiots.Business Response

Hello,
During our attempts to investigate this concern, an individual claiming to be the Claimant directed extremely offensive language at one of our employees. I have reviewed the interaction, and our Employee was courteous and professional in their sincere attempts to help. I was personally shocked by the language used by the individual claiming to be the Claimant. Rewards Network has a firm belief that abusive conduct is never acceptable.
Thank you.

Complaint: 21059018
I am rejecting this response because: Actually, it was directed at the Groupon bots I've been wasting 2 weeks on and STILL haven't been paid what I am owed. And while we all can appreciate this poor little sheltered reps hurt feewings, it STILL doesn't correct the fact that this pathetic sleazebag company STILL hasn't paid what they advertised and owed. I am STILL waiting for that to be credited.

Complaint: 21059018
I am rejecting this response because: Unfortunately, these babies using that as an excuse to not pay what they owe; This is the game they play. They recieved commission from the restaurants, and are failing to pay the customers, which is THEFT. So, if they don't pay, i will be forced to file complaints in Small Claims Court as well as inform the restaurants about this practice and recommend they cease any relationship with these thieves. THEY ARE CRIMINALS. THEY STEAL. They had no intention of paying what they owed. That is NOT acceptable

I updated my credit card numbers for the Mileage Plus rewards network via their website on 11.20.2023 at 11:25am **. Approximately 5 minutes later, I started receiving spam calls (13 of them) and texts (12 of them) within 10 mins saying that I had filled out a lead form for a new car on their automotive websites (I haven't).There is a data leak/security issue with the Rewards Network system.Business Response

Complaint: 20895436
I am rejecting this response because:The interaction with your platform is the ONLY interaction done that day online. And the timing between the updating of my profile on Rewards Network and the spam leads are within minutes of each other, and it was programatic. Additionally, you can search online to forums where other consumers describe the same exact experience when interacting with your platform. Those combination of facts make it indisputable that the leak/breach came from the Rewards Network platform.

American Airlines Y078AW4 I enrolled into the dining program under the 500 mile sign up promo.I satisfied all the requirements - dining at ************** on 08/25/2023 and the review.After numerous calls and escalations, the program said I didn't satisfy the terms (dine and review within the first 30 days of enrollment). I have emailed them confirmation from the program of my sign up date which was not honored. I have attached the enrollment email dated 08/04/2023 and in the first paragraph it states to dine within 30 days of enrollment which was 08/25/2023.Can you please assist?Thank you.Business Response

Hello,
Thank you for the opportunity to respond to this concern. We have reviewed this account, and it appears that the member missed one criteria to earn the bonus (remaining opted-in to receive marketing emails). In our review, however, it appears that our team did not clearly explain this the first time the member made outreach. We have credited the bonus to the member's account as a courtesy, and we apologize for the less than stellar experience. We hope this remediates the situation, and respectfully request that this complaint be closed.

Hello,
Thank you for the opportunity to respond to this complaint. ****************** contacted our company on 3.26.23 for information on how our dining programs work. We responded to his question on 3.27.23. On 4.2.23, ****************** asked a follow-up question that we answered on 4.3.23.Unfortunately, on 4.3.23, ****************** responded to us by personally attacking our employees using multiple swear words in the process. Our employees did not respond to the verbal assault, other than to inform ****************** that due to the language used and the disrespect shown to our staff, we had no choice but to close his dining account.
