"Complete Savings" scheme

I'd take whatever stemcgoo says with a large pinch of salt. All his posts are about this site and he signed up here just to tell us about it!!

Cpsave, this is a very common occurance, people tempted by the discount and only realising they'd joined something when the money was taken out of their accounts There are lots of threads about this on here. I ordered from Play in December too, and I definately remember the invitation to save money on a future order. I also remember some text saying I was signing up to a "club", but there was no mention of cost on the main page. I think you'd have to click through for T&C's.

Mrs B, do you know me? Have I offended you perchance?
For your info, I signed up before, but not really posted, however having read all the negative posts about the ShopperDiscounts and Rewards website, I did decide to break my silence and post some positive comments. Is that illegal? Is it so improbable that SDR/Webloyalty could actually have happy customers? Is it not the prerogative of the unhappy few to complain and make known their plight whereas the satisfied many normally sit back and make no mention of the situation?

Could it actually be that SDR are still going strong, not shut down by regulators because actually they are providing a service they legitimately charge for, which too many people seem insistent on blaming their own inability to read small print for?

For the record, Since Jan 2011 as a member I have so far paid SDR £140 for my 15 months membership.

I have saved ;
£155 at Pizza Hut - regular £10 per month bonus, plus £15 first time round
£399 of online savings from shopping at Currys, eBay, ELC, HMV, TheHut, B&Q, Matalan and many more
£50 PRICE promise cashback for a TV I bought at Currys that reduced in price within 90 days
In the last 5 months I have also saved £100 on purchases of high street vouchers for Currys (xmas presents), Debenhams etc. Every month I buy £100 vouchers which cost me £80.
Plus I get EXTRA 1yr warranty on qualifying purchases.

So, over the last 15 months, this scheme has saved me NET approx. £564.

Cash in the bank. Genuinely RICHER than when they started taking the money from my account.

If I could post screenshots of my account page with the savings I would but obviously it is personal info, but if you still don't believe me, mail me and I will try and knock up a screen print with the personals blurred out or something.

I always get a little confused when people say they were surprise money was debited from their account. Firstly....read the small print!! Secondly...why else do you think they asked for your bank details?!!!

One thing thats not clear is exactly who you can shop with and how you claim these discounts. If it is a case of posting off receipts then its more hassle than its worth - for me, anyway.

In my case I thought I was giving my details to the train company which I was trying to purchase tickets from. It was difficult to see there was any way other way of getting the dang tickets other than filling in my details, so I just assumed they were part of the same company. [Text removed by MSE Forum Team] I'm pretty disappointed that a largeish company would try to pull this on me.

Every single one of your fourteen posts has been about either Shopper Discounts and Rewards or Complete Savings.

You're just a paid shill.

Haha, very funny. Paid - YES! Absolutely, as I have pointed out I benefit to the tune of about £50 per month in cashback and savings via the SDR scheme every month.

Shill - NO, absolutely not. I live in Manchester, I'm fairly sure SDR are down south, I work for the NHS, I already use other online savings schemes like the NHSCashback and NHSdiscounts schemes, but the SDR one is by far the most profitable one.
