Shopper Discounts And Rewards Uk

Having used SD for around 8 years, I have saved over £1500 on various purchases. The £10 monthly fee is refunded if you make 1 purchase in a month & you get 10% savings with many partners eg Trainline & Uber Eats)

On checking my bank account I noticed a recurring payment of £10.00 per month for shopper disc. I googled it and did not recognise the site. Further internet searches showed up this 'scam'! I called them and they confirmed that I bought a train ticket(trainline.com) back in 2010 and had selected to have a discount off my next train ticket (or so I thought). Ticking this box gave them access to my card details. They have taken a total of £230.00 from my account!!!! I have NEVER received an e-mail, mailshot, phone call from them. I do not have a membership No so how the *** could I use the benefits? They have been promising a full refund since 29th May but dispite 4 chaser calls and 3 emails (to which there has been no response!) it is still 'being processed'!!

Reading feedback on-line seemingly Interflora and other big companies were caught up in this scam but have now removed them from their sites.

I have given them an ultimatum today before I take this further.

Any feedback for successful claims would be appreciated...

I noticed on my bank statement shopper discounts and rewards had taken £10 from my account,

Neither myself or my wife had signed up for this scam! And it is a scam!!

I tried to log on using my email and my wife's email exclaiming I had forgotten my password, both times they came back with no account is registered under this email address.

I called them first thing this morning and asked why they were taking money from my account without my permission!

They said that my wife had joined after shopping on argos web site, they also said that a banner would have dropped down and said that a ten pound charge will be taken after 1 month free trial period.

1 we have never shopped on Argos on line only reserved an item!

2 no drop down box was seen by my wife!

3 she did not give this company the authority to take money

4 my wife has only had 2 emails from this company both today after cancelling membership

I have no doubt that this company is pulling the wool over people's eyes, why do they give you a month free? So that you forget when and how this could have happened that's why!!

Why do they not send emails? Because then people would look into it that's why and they wouldn't get the money.

My bank informed me that they have had no end of calls about this company and even give me the number to call to get it sorted out!

I here on the grape vine that they also operate with easy jet and national express coach travel.

I won't be spending any money with a company that has anything to do with this company that's for sure.

Lucky I check my account weekly and spotted it otherwise this could have been very costly!!

Needless to say after sitting in a phone que for 15 mins, I have cancelled this sham so called membership, and they have said as I haven't used the service! ( suprise suprise as I had never herd of them!!) I'm entitled to a refund of my £10, very big of them!,

Rant over, please be carefull!

I live in the UK and had not heard about this scam. I bought a bus ticket for a journey to London from Birmingham with the National Express Coach company and was offered a £10 discount.

I signed up for the discount but had no resulting awareness that I had passed on my bank details to Shopper Discounts as a result. I noticed after four months that Shopper Discounts were deducting £10 a month from my credit card.

I rang them and asked what this was for and they said it was for 'benefits and services' whatever that is supposed to mean. They did cancel immediately.

I had seen the 'shopper discounts and rewards' line on my bank statement and had no clue what it was so googled it. I found the thread on Shopper Discounts on this site- thanks - to anyone who posted.

Once I found out what it was I contacted them by phone (long distance call) and cancelled my 'subscription' (as they like to call it). I then wrote them a stinking email demanding to know - where they got my details. They replied fairly quickly. It looks like I ordered some flowers with interflora and fell for the 'save £10' off your next purchase trick (what a gem).

I moved out of the UK over a year ago and do not check my bank statements as I no longer use my UK account. Unfortunately they had collected £136 from me without my knowing.

They responded to my email and apologised and have offered to refund the money. I will wait and see if this happens. They claim it is a legitimate service and that they take data protection seriously. It was a very lengthy and well versed response. It seems that they get the money where they can but hold their hands up when you catch them.

I plan to write a letter to Interflora asking why they endorse these jokers on their site. The companies who permit these people access to their customers are just as bad.

If this happens to you I suggest you do the same and also while you are at it write to ITC and FOS too.

If they don't cough up the refund I will post again.

When booking a flight with www.easyjet.com, the website asks you if you want to save £10.00 on your booking. If you click "yes", it re-directs you to the Shopper Discounts and Rewards website. They ask you for your email address, and while you think it is some type of newsletter you are signing for, what you are really doing is signing on for a direct debit of £8.00 a month, from the same credit card that you used to pay your flight. You don't have to give them any details, only your email address. I am sure they get the information from Easyjet. It took me 3 months to actually realise that they were charging me this monthly amount on my credit card. When you phone them to cancel, they are ready for it, they even have a cancellation automated service (I bet they get quite a high rate of cancellation). After cancelling, I tried to talk to an operator, who read me a 10 minutes speech about how it was my fault and I should have read the small print. When you phone them, they are ready for it, I bet they get lots of phone calls from people as upset as I was. I finally got them to refund 2 payments they took from my credit card, so I suppose they are not doing anything completely illegal, but in my opinion it is definitely immoral. I haven't got any service for this money they took from me, and I wasn't even aware that I signed for this service in the first place. People, be aware! and about Easyjet, who I considered a reputable company, the only thing I can say is that I am very disappointed with them for associating with this type of company, and I will avoid flying with easyjet in the future, as they lost my trust on them as a customer.

By the way, this company changes its name constantly. shopdisc.co.uk, shopperdisc.co.uk or shopperdiscounts.co.uk may have appeared on your statement. Check them out in the internet. There are a few interesting reviews from USA.

easyJet gave my credit card details to a third party in what is basically a trick scenario - I am suprised that they associate with Shoppers Discounts as there is quite a lot written about this scam on the internet. Here is the process: I bought a flight from easyjet in UK who offered me a future discount which I accepted - however what really happened was easyJet sent my credit card details to a discount club.

Shopper Discounts then sent junk like email that was filtered by my email system. A couple of months later they billed my credit card £8 and every month since.

I did not want to join this club.
