I took up this deal but failed to cancel (an oversight on my part).
My account has just been debited £39.95 for this year's subscription and they won't refund.
BE AWARE0 -
I also took out the 3 months membership for £1, did not use the card (as you can't use it weekends and eg Westfield at anytime), did not notice the small print at the foot of the original email about auto renewal.
They sent out a courtesy email which I have subsequently found in spam.
Took 30 minutes to get through by phone. Very nasty attitude, effectively said that they would not refund.
Tricksters, Gourmet Society are not a nice company to deal with.0 -
The gourmet Society is a total con BEWARE AVOID
Not only does the card not work half the time with restaurants refusing it on many occasions Even thought its in their stated valid period.
The automatic renewal and bad customer service is horrific.
Card was automatically renewed and they refused to cancel and give my money back.
DO NOT give these people your bank details.
Complete scam!0 -
only sign up to the free trial, as above don't enter your bank details0

My mum has had the same problem. Auto renewal is a disgusting practice. Surely this is something that MSE should be looking at highlighting and warning people against.0

...and to be fair, people also need to read the Ts & Cs and accept responsibility for giving bank details for a free trial.:hello:0 -
Think it's best to avoid this one then..0

Keep emailing and bugging them and they do give you your money back but only £25 - they keep £15 as an admin fee which I will be requesting back from them.
They have to notify you that they will be taking money out of your account according to their own T's & c's.
Fight them!
Quite right this is a disgusting practice that car insurance companies also practice.
Can we get the law changed?Nice to save.0 -
Why, people should just use their brains & a calendar and cancel in time.Keep emailing and bugging them and they do give you your money back but only £25 - they keep £15 as an admin fee which I will be requesting back from them.

People want a deal, they're getting a deal, they just have to cancel membership in time before the renewal.0
