Webloyalty, Deceptive Internet Sales Case
Discussion Board
- The Controversy. "On October 4, 2006, * * * a class action complaint [was filed] on behalf of consumers nationwide, alleging that Webloyalty.com, with its online retail partner, 123inkjets.com, has unlawfully obtained consumers' financial information and used this information to charge for a membership known as 'Reservations Rewards' through deceptive 'pop-up' advertising." Press Release. "Hotels.com is one of about 70 Internet heavyweights affiliated with Webloyalty, including travel service Priceline.com, movie-ticket vendor Fandango.com and shopping site Half.com. And here's where consumers may want to sit up and take notice. Webloyalty is able to obtain people's credit card numbers directly from many of its partners and will charge monthly fees for a service some people might not realize they've signed up for. Once movie tickets are purchased at Fandango.com, for example, a link is presented to a special reward. That link leads to a page on Webloyalty's site promising $10 off your next Fandango purchase plus other discounts. All you have to do is provide your e-mail address. A Google search turns up dozens of people who say that they never meant to join Webloyalty's "reservation rewards" program." sfgate.com. See complaint at Consumer Reports.
