LET THE BUYER BEWARE!
This company operates a reward program that is tied to several businesses Australia-wide. If you want to earn points at several businesses that run the program you must join up with each of the businesses. The points from one business do not add to those you earn from other businesses.
You earn points when you make a purchase, and can go into prize draws as well as redeeming your points in the store where they were earned. This part of the scheme I have no problem with.
But what I do have a problem with is when they send you emails promising entries in draws that lead you to ONLINE GAMBLING SITES, and sites where they promise you prizes if you will just enter your mobile number.
Again I say, LET THE BUYER BEWARE!
The sites where you enter your mobile number will cost you dearly. They will send you SMS messages at PREMIUM rates which YOU have to pay for when you receive them, even though you don't want them.
This kind of practice is SHAMEFUL and DELIBERATELY MISLEADING AND SNEAKY, and VERY EXPENSIVE.
I was not caught by this scam but many must be.
I won't be taking any notice of their emails any more, except when they are telling me my points balance.
