(Taken from another forum....as I don't have a wife yet!
However I've been scammed for this too and have just been told that I will get my money back from the company....)
They seem to have a slight scam going my wife fell for it...
When you sign up for the free cards you have to pay postage so you give them a debit card details then on the next screen you get offered the option of recieving £10.00 off your next order if you sign up for the club ( You can cancel this at any time) problem she found and so have many others is they do not cancel your membership and the e mail telling you how to cancel does not arrivce so you end up paying them each month £9. ish.
My Wife did not notice for 3 months when she did she called them and they were verry good at refunding the money but for the 3 months they had her money in their bank account earning interest....do the math Vista are a HUGE company Opperate in the USA as well
1000 people sign up and get their £9.00 taken each month into a bank account earning interest over 3 months that is like £27,000 based on only 1000 they probably have like 10,000 or more the interest would be massive for them ongoing they do refund the customer when challanged and the customer is probably greatfull to get the money back so would not even question interest charges.
