Free Holiday Cards
I don't know about that. I've been a customer of Vistaprint's for over a year. WAY before I ever found out about Fusion Cash, and I've found them to be a very reputable company. I've also done 2 or 3 offers specifically through Fusion Cash and I've never been charged for anything other than what I ordered.

I too have dealt with Vista Print. I just joined them though in Oct. through the offer presented here at FC. But have heard highly of them beforehand.
I got my products from them in a week and was not charged for anything that I did not purchase. And I found them to be very reasonable in their prices. They are actually cheaper than any printer in my area. I ordered business cards for my hubby and the deal was great! I also ordered Holiday cards from them, again, a pleasant & smooth transaction!
I clicked the link to see the complaints that people have about Vista Print. The $14.95 charge is in fact a monthly charge for Vista Print Rewards Program. I noticed when I joined Vista Print in Oct., when you fill out your info and look on the bottom of the page, there are boxes that you can check. One of them is for Vista Print Rewards Program. They give you a 30 day Free Trial & after that, it's $14.95 a month. Some people apparently clicked the box & did not read what they were clicking for. So it seems that people do not read the TOS and small print when they order products. I did & I didn't check that box and PRESTO, I've yet to have a $14.95 charge. Hmmmm
As for the complaints of someones CC getting used at another website, who's to say it's Vista Prints fault? There are hackers out there that can obtain information. That's why it's always a GREAT idea to make sure a website in which you are using a CC on has that Verisign & that the site is encrypted with the Padlock symbol. Letting you know that it's a safe & secure site. Vista Print had all of this so I am thinking someone used their CC on another site that wasn't a secured site. The padlock will appear on the bottom right of your page, near your computers clock & will appear on the payment info page when you go to enter your personal information. If no padlock is present, do NOT enter anything, PERIOD!
So, regardless of peoples apparent lack in reading & understanding terms before they order something, my opinion of Vista Print is still very high & I will remain a loyal customer!
And FC I am sure screens companies before they present their offers to us. It is in FC TOS to NOT bad mouth a company in the Forums & stating that Vista is a scam offer not only does not hold water, it is against FC TOS!
It's fine to say you personally had a problem with them but to call them a scam is bad mouthing them.
Respect our advertisers
Do not discuss cancellation or post disparaging remarks
And if you don't know what Disparaging means: showing or expressing disapproval or contempt
Pretty ignorant too for some to say they had charges going on for months and never realized their CC was being charged. I mean, come on. You get a monthly statement in the mail for your CC's. You mean to tell me that it took MONTHS for people to realize they were being charged?? :bs:
I have never had a problem with phone calls either after joining Vista Print & truth of the matter is, certain companies can get a persons phone number as it is free information. Unlisted numbers are still retrievable.
These complaints fall upon deaf ears as far as I'm concerned as I think it's a huge pile of :bs:. So take your Vista Print bashing elsewhere as it's NOT welcome here!
The complaints are nil though as 99% of those complaints were in regards to the $14.95 charge and I am sorry, but it is nobodies fault but their own for NOT reading! Just like here on FC, you are to read the TOS. And make sure you don't click or complete an offer unless you're really interested in it. In this case, the same rule should have applied to all of those who clicked on that box in Vista Print! My guess would be that maybe some did read the Free Trial for the service, clicked on it & just forgot to cancel before the 30 days was up.

I too, had a great experience with Vista! :dontknow: :thumbsup:

We have had these offers up for a while, and no one has ever complained. I have actually completed VistaPrint myself, with no problems. Moneyman68, I understand you are trying to help everyone out, and I respect that. But please respect our advertisers as well. If you do not complete the offer yourself, you can not go around bashing them with stories from other people. Most people do not read the fine print in things, so when they are charged legitimately they scream "Fraud!" because they did not take the time to read the Terms of Service.

as far as the Myfreecreditreport, i did this myself a year ago when i joined fc... with no problems.. also i know that there would be no problem with it has it is from a part of the bbb. and joined to all 3 credit reporting ageincies... so by callin that offer a scam.. you are saying that the better bussness brough along with all 3 reporting ageincies are as well...... if that were the case.... we all would be filing bankroutte...... yes i know i can not spell but you get my point lol.
as far as the other 2 so far i have not done them but...
ihave heard all great storyies about them on many sites. from atleast 50 + people.... so i think that outweights the few people you found complaining. most likly they did not read.. or they did not cancel in time.. etehr way it's on them.. not the site or the offer...
opps sorry posted this in the wrong place lol. it goes with the scam list thread.
