I ordered some items from Cuddledown in September, and somehow I was additionally added around that same time to something called Cuddledown Rewards which charged me $19.95/month in October - January when I discovered the charges on my credit card. I never separately signed up for this and feel like it was done without my express consent. I'd like a refund and have also asked the company but feel like it was a deceptive practice.Business Response

I received a very nice $125 gift certificate as a birthday gift. On it, I was told I could only use it by calling the number in the catalog (cannot place an online order). I called the number on a Sunday, and was told that I can only use it during business hours, which are M-F, 8:45-3:45 EST, and I needs to call back. So I called back the following day and was promptly disconnected 4 times. After the second time , I asked if I could have either a direct number or have someone call me back, and was told no- and was immediately transferred and then the call dropped. I sent an email to customer service a week ago explaining the situation and have not heard anything. So, I have no way to use this gift card. I would like them to reimburse my aunt for the money she spent. I dont even want to deal with them at this point. Thank you.Customer Answer

On Jan 2, 2024, I purchased 2 pillows at ************************** and received them in a few days for a total cost of $186.00. Today, I learned an entity called "Pgi Cuddledownrewards" has been billing my credit card on a nearly monthly basis for the sum of $21.70, now eleven times. I did not opt in or enroll in this, nor did it appear on my invoice or in my cart when checking out. I have canceled my credit card and disputed the charges with my bank. Searching online indicates "Pgi Cuddledownrewards" may be associated with ***************************** which I have never used.Customer Answer

On Sep 1st, I order products from this business. When it did not ship by Thursday, I contacted by email to inquire and was told theorder would be processed, then received another email that it was on hold with no reason given but the order would be released for processing. By Sep 9th, still showing in process, sent another email and was told it would ship in 1 business day. On Tuesday, Sep 10thI put in a Cancel Order request and then followed up with a personal phone call and was told order was in warehouse and couldn't be cancelled. After telling the representative how upset I was about this issue, she said she was put in a stop shipment order, but it still may ship and could just be returned. This is a birthday present for my sister. My credit card hasn't been charged yet, but I don't want her to have to deal with this if it is eventually received. I request BBB contact the company if possible to speak to someone in charge and help me get this resolved. If they would absolutely agree this order will ship in the next day, I will be OK with that.Business Response

I recently made two separate purchases at Cuddledown. I was just checking my credit card this afternoon when I noticed an unauthorized charge from Cuddledown Rewards in the amount of *****. I never authorized this charge and I certainly never signed up for a rewards program when I made my purchases on the Cuddledown website. This is extremely disappointing to see a company who I only very recently started buying from take advantage of my trust by charging my credit card for a recurring membership without my permission. I will definitely rethink my purchases at Cuddledown. I won't be buying from them again. I would not recommend any friends or family to buy from Cuddledown either.Customer Answer

We purchased from Cuddledown ONCE in 2020. Since then, we have received multiple catalogs, sent regularly. As we actively try to reduce our carbon footprint, we immediately contacted the company via their customer service phone number to have our information removed from the mailing list. This has not worked. We kept receiving catalogs, and even started receiving them after we moved to another state! Every time we receive one, we contact the company, hoping that maybe this time, we will be removed from the list. And yes, we are registered with DMAChoice.org and have tried removing ourselves via *************.Having received yet another one, I'm now filing this complaint with the BBB.Customer Answer

We have involved marketing and they have removed your address permanently from our records. You might still get 1 or 2 more because they get printed and sent out well before the system catches up with the address removal. But you have been removed.Initial Complaint

In May, 2022, I made a purchase and somehow was signed up for VIP membership, which I do not recall requesting. I was unaware that this was set up and that I would be charged $16.00 per month until I called them to request this to end. I did not realize these charges were occurring on my Discover credit card until this month and called Discover to dispute the charge, since I had no idea what it was. I called and spoke to a customer service agent with the ********************** VIP membership department and he said I needed to let them know that I no longer wanted the membership. I told him I didn't know I had it, nor did I want it, and felt the company was disreputable and fraudulently charging me monthly in perpetuity. He shut down my "membership," but I have been charged monthly for over a year for something I neither signed up for or wanted, and received NOTHING for the $304 in charges to my credit card.Customer Answer
Date: 02/25/2024
I have not heard from the business in response to my complaint. If you will read my original complaint to the BBB, I stated that I had communicated with a customer service rep and requested a refund for all the charges made for a "membership" I did not request or sign up for, and that I certainly would have requested it to end had I known I needed to. My only fault is not having noticed the monthly charge until now. The customer service rep denied what it was doing was fraudulent and only shut down the "membership." It appears that the BBB will do nothing on this, although I have seen it has secured refunds for others who have made the same complaint to the BBB.Business Response

We apologize but you did sign up online after placing order K8081484 in May of 2022. We cannot enroll a customer to the *** as it is illegal! The customer must follow the steps online to enroll themselves into the *** program. If *** has cancelled your membership, then no other charges will go on the card. We do not manage the program at our customer service.Initial Complaint

In May, 2023 I purchased sheets from said company. However I realized after many months I had somehow been mistakenly enrolled in their Rewards program which they have been billing me for on my credit card $17.85 a month for the last 7 months. I never received any benefits from this program (I paid full shipping price), nor did I intend to enroll. When I spoke to **************** they said there was nothing they could do. Since others here have had the same problem Im assuming that they are deceitful in getting customers to sign up for this program inadvertently or thinking there is no cost. They owe me $303.45.Business Response

We apologize but when an order gets placed online, the customer must enroll themself to the program in order for you to start getting billed. The system does not mistakenly sign you up, you must accept the terms and conditions of the program. You accepted the online offer on your order K9750006.Customer Answer

I have read other complaints about customers being suckered in to join this so called Rewards program. I would like a copy of my purchase. Im sure the wording is most likely deceiving and if there is a mention of fees its very well hidden, as I never sign up for these programs. The companys response to my complaint is vague and preposterous if theyre saying you HAVE to join in order to get billed. Ive never heard of this kind of business practice. Also I never received any correspondence stating what rewards I have earned. Customers be warned.

I called Cuddledown at their number ************. Their agent said she was only authorized to refund 6 month of the $15.94 per month, which apparently she did (not received yet). I said this was unsatisfactory and want the full amount going back to February 2022. I have received no reply to the request for a total reimbursement.

We spoke with management at the *** department. Here is their response:
They were fully refunded, but five of the refunds are still pending from being sent on 1/12/24. When the remaining refund was issued after the 6-month refund cap was escalated, a refund confirmation email did go out to the customer.
So far, the customer has been refunded 18 out of 23 bill terms and once the remaining refunds go through, they will receive another confirmation email.Customer Answer
