I posted a few days back re the shoppers discount scam, reporting that I had spoken to an operator and had been promised a full refund - and the full refund has appeared in my bank account!!
So don't take no for an answer - get your money back.

You are subscribed without giving out credit card details, it is done automatically by clicking subscribe.

Sorry didnt understand that - If i havent given my credit card details how did they get hold of it in spite of me clicking subscribe?

Cartridge Monkey also have this link both at the end of the checkout and in the confirmation email they send you. I have emailed them this MSE link "just in case they weren't aware of the details regarding this company".

Hopefully I shall be OK as I didn't click anything, jsut googled it and that's how I found this thread.

Don't any of you (certainly those who have "suddenly" realised you've been paying £8 you shouldn't have for TEN MONTHS :shocked: ) ever check your statements ? Presumably not. Amazing !

Don't take this to mean I think this shoppers discount racket is ok as I certainly dont. I always keep all our cc receipts & check them against statement. :T

I noticed last month that I'd been charged £8 but had no recollection of what it was for.

When I noticed it again this month I googled Shopper Discounts And came across this forum.

I called the freephone number and after a couple options got through to an operator very quickly (A British call centre too!)

She was a little defensive when I mentioned the word scam but agreed to cancel my membership and refund my money - I'd been paying since April.
The fact that they are so willing to refund money without any question raises the point - What the hell was I paying £8 a month for ?

I will have to wait now to see if the refund actually materializes

Refund will materialse Ok

They are counting on people not checkiing their credit card statements and paying £8 a month for years.

They cancel promptly when requested, preventing the credit card companies from barring them. (quite a clever scam)

I wonder what commission the companies that give ur C/C details away are being paid?????
