      Unauthorized $2.00 charges on my **** Credit Card ending in **** 

      Business Response

      Date: 07/18/2025

      I
      write in regard to the above-mentioned complaint submitted to your office by ***
      Kronzer. We regret any confusion or inconvenience he experienced when doing
      business with our company and trust that this letter will address his
      concerns.   
      Our records show that on June 19th, 2025, after making
      an online purchase, ****** ******* was presented with an ad banner promoting
      our FreeShipping**** program. Ms. ******* clicked on the banner and arrived on
      our order registration page, which provided full details about our money saving
      membership program and how she can try the program for 7 days for the trial fee
      of $2.00. The terms on that page, titled “Offer Details,” explained that if she
      did not cancel her subscription by the end of the trial, her subscription would
      automatically continue, and the monthly subscription fee of $19.00 would be
      charged to the credit card account that she provided. 

      Our records show that she completed the registration process by
      providing her full contact and account information and checking a box that
      states “I agree to the Offer Details and the Terms of Use & Service” just
      below the offer terms. Shortly thereafter we sent Ms. ******* a welcome e-mail
      to the e-mail address she provided upon enrollment that included full
      information on how she can access and enjoy her program benefits and
      reiterating the program billing terms. 

      Ms. *******’s membership has been canceled and fully refunded for
      a total of $2.00. This credit will post in 2-5 business days.

      Again, we regret any inconvenience this may have
      caused *** *******.

      I signed up for FreeShipping**** and was charged a $20 monthly membership fee with the understanding that I would receive cashback/rebate benefits for qualifying personal purchases.

      I submitted a claim for a rebate, but it was denied on the grounds that the purchase was “business-related.” becuase there is also a business registered under my house This is false the order was made for personal use only, and I have no business affiliation connected to it.

      I contacted customer service to dispute this, explained that the purchase was personal, and requested a re-review. So far, I have not received a satisfactory response. It appears the company is inventing a reason to deny my rebate while continuing to charge me a monthly fee.

      I believe this is a deceptive business practice. im requesting a refund for the membership and the rebates that are owed to me they used my affiliate linking to make money and then when it came time to pay they refused to give me what they owed.

      I write in regards to the above referenced complaint
      submitted to your office by *** *****. We regret any confusion or inconvenience
      he experienced when doing business with our company and trust that this letter
      will address his concerns.   
      Our records show that one of our customer service representatives
      reached out to *** ***** directly in order to complete a review of their
      FreeShipping**** membership and confirm it was being used for personal
      non-commercial purposes.
      After this review, our team determined that unfortunately
      this membership is not eligible due to purchases that are billed to a mailing
      address that don’t match the mailing address registered in our membership
      record. Per our Terms of Service, purchases must be billed to the address on file.
      *** *****’s membership has been canceled and fully refunded
      for the $20.00 membership fee. Again we apologize for any inconvenience this
      may have caused.

      I am rejecting this response because: this is an obscure thing to claim, im not even sure which address their talking about this is clearly a residential address im in college so I ordered it to my sister which is near my campus, this so called business has just taken the money from my referral links and is refusing to pay me what they owe me, this is extremely deceptive, I could have used any other shopping that would have payed me and does'nt charge a monthly subscription this is deceptive at best.



      Sincerely,

      Hello,

      Unfortunately this membership is not eligible due to the previous membership.  As outlined in our terms, FreeShipping**** benefits are available only to you and permanent residents of your household who are at least 18 years old. Please note that there is a limit of one membership and one introductory/premium offer per household.

      We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused and can confirm the membership was canceled and fully refunded.

      After placing order with *** ****, Freeshipping**** had a pop up for extra 10% off. When I clicked on it, they used my credit card info to charge me for a service I didn't want. I phoned and cancelled, which they did, but two days later, I saw a charge from ****** online for $65.00 which I never made and cancelled my credit card to keep them from making any more fraudulent charges. ****** said the charge was not for my membership and could give no info about the charge, other than fraudsters will take out a ****** membership on a stolen credit card and then cancel the membership and have it refunded to fraudster's credit card. Since the charge is for only $65.00, many people miss it on their statements. Since I don't use that credit card at ****** ever, I noticed the charge right away and contacted ***** and cancelled the card.

      I saw a $16 recurring charge from something called Shop Smarter which I never heard of and called their customer service department. They explained that the subscription was triggered when I went on the *** **** *** ****** website in 2021! I never signed up for this service and had not noticed the deductions from my account before. Her manager agreed to give me - refund of 4 months ($16 each). I called my bank and that’s all they can dispute - 4 months - so they obviously knew that and want to avoid interactions with banks. I’ve paid more than $900 without even knowing and never filled out any information to sign up in the first place. How can I get back all of that money?

      Freeshipping**** owes me $513 for 27 payments of $19 taken from my credit card account without proper authorization between October 2022 and December 2024. (They have refunded four payments in 2025, but that is not sufficient.) I RECEIVED NO GOODS OR SERCIVES IN EXCHANGE FOR THE PAYMENTS TAKEN, and unfortunately did not notice that their charges were being collected. Apparently they poached my credit card number and security code when I made a legitimate purchase of show tickets on ********* 9/13/2022, but I never gave the number and code authorization directly to Freeshipping. I expe** a full refund. I ask that BBB confirm that ** is the state of incorporation for any action to be filed in the case that I am not made whole by Freeshipping. By the way, I am 69 years old and retired, and believe this kind of scam to be elder financial abuse.

      On December 6 and December 13, I didn’t realize that I had signed up for Free Shipping****. They charged me 21.00. So on April 17th member ID #******** cancelled my membership and also told me I was getting credited for 59.00 which I did receive a refund check from ***** ******** ******* card for 40.00. When I originally called back in February I thought someone scammed me into charging my card 21.00. I was issued a new card. I have a feeling the 21.00 got charged to my old card ending in ****. After she told me she was crediting my current card. No one seems to know what happened to the 21.00. If you can help me find it that would be great. I am sorry if it’s a little bit confusing. I called both businesses ***** and Free Shipping. May times no one can give me an answer we’re the 21.00 is. It should have been put on my new ****** **** ******. Thankyou!

      I write in regard to the above-mentioned complaint submitted to
      your office by Ms. ************. We regret any confusion or inconvenience she
      experienced when doing business with our company and trust that this letter
      will address her concerns.   
      Our records show that on December
      6th, 2024, after making an online purchase, Ms. ************ was presented with an ad banner promoting our FreeShipping**** program.
      Ms. ************ clicked on the banner and
      arrived on our order registration page, which provided full details about our money-saving
      membership program and how she can try the program for 7 days at the trial fee
      of $2.00. The terms on that page, titled “Offer Details,” explained that if she
      did not cancel her subscription by the end of the trial, her subscription would
      automatically continue and the monthly subscription fee would be charged to the
      credit card account that she provided. 

      Our records show that she
      completed the registration process by providing her full contact and account
      information and checking a box that states “I agree to the Offer Details and the
      Terms of Use & Service” just below
      the offer terms. Shortly thereafter we sent Ms. ************ a welcome e-mail to the e-mail address she provided upon enrollment that
      included full information on how she can access and enjoy her program benefits
      and reiterating the program billing terms. 

      Ms. ************’ membership was canceled on 4/17/25 and was
      fully refunded for $59.00 on the same day. This credit was issued to the card
      on file ending in ****.

      Again, we
      regret any inconvenience this may have caused Ms. ************.

      I have been a customer on and off for several years of FREESHIPPING****. Several times I have not received a rebate in the past for an unknown reason, but chose to continue doing business with them because overall it was a good value for me. This past week, for unsubstantiated reasons, was cancelled and my $20 monthly fee was quickly returned to me. A generic and unspecific email was sent me stating that multiple email addresses (concurring accounts) were not permitted. I quickly called FREESHIPPING**** and told them that I have had other email addresses in years past but that I ONLY HAVE ONE ACTIVE ACCOUNT WITH ONE EMAIL ADDRESS AT THIS TIME. I DO NOT HAVE MULTIPLE ACCOUNTS WITH FREESHIPPING****. The person I spoke with said she could not help me but to EMAIL the person/department/company (which is now Clarus Commerce LLC) and doesn’t respond. I can only guess that the reason that have chosen to do this is because my account had a large balance due me of several hundred dollars. When they cancel your account, they keep what is owed to you. No one will respond to my email with specific details of why this has happened. It appears that they do this frequently and hope that people will give up from trying and go away. I am contacting my local consumer news reporter to investigate as well as report this situation to the ****** ** ******** **********.

      Hello,

      We apologize for any inconvenience this has caused *** ********** and will be happy to provide further information.

      One of our Customer Service team members reached out to *** ********** via email after it came to our attention that there are multiple accounts associated with a single mailing address/email address. As outlined in our terms, FreeShipping**** benefits are available only to you and permanent residents of your household who are at least 18 years old. Please note that there is a limit of one membership and one introductory/premium offer per household. In addition, there are restrictions listed on the site regarding cash back on ***** products. Our terms state cash back is not offered on ***** products.
       
      Our records show your membership has been canceled and refunded the last membership fee as advised via email last Tuesday 4/8. If you have any questions or need further clarification about your benefits, please don’t hesitate to reach out. We’re here to help.
       
      Thank you
