Thread: Allure Magazine Year Subscription for Free

I'd love to get more women's magazines from this company - they're the only ones that have actually delivered on their promise of a subscription. :( considering how many others we've tried for (Mercury, Freebizmag, the web-commercial one) that's not very good odds. :( I really need to get Redbook for my mom... I bought it from this seller on ebay (3 yrs of that and 3 of Women's Day) and even tho I'd used him before successfully 3x, this time, he fell off the face of the earth (ebay banned magazine sales) and I haven't gotten my subs.

I have coupons leftover from the HouseParty kit for $6 for 1 year subscription (nice discount!). PM me with your name and address if you would like me to mail you one!
Also check My Coke Rewards - sometimes they have it available.

rewardsgold.com is the best in my opinion, dont deal with other free mag sites, but i've never seen rewards give away Allure, i got Redbook from rewards, maybe they'll do it again sometime soon. with all the magazines i've gotten i have not paid for any of them its not worth it since they make so much money to begin with so i'll stick with the ones that give it away for free. Where is Hilly, she'd know where we can get a Allure mag for free LOL

No, I haven't -- Since I'd had 3 successful transactions w/him before and had communicated w/him when ebay cancelled all his auctions (I bought 1 auction from him which was 3yrs redbook & 3yrs womens' day) they cancelled this one as well (it was a BIN dutch auction) so even tho they cancelled the auction and sent me something saying I didn't have to pay, I'd already paid -- wasn't too worried as he'd come thru before, so I figured I'd wait to see when it came. Usually it takes 8-12 weeks. Unfortunately, by that time, you're no longer covered by ebay or paypal's protection plans, which is one of the main reasons ebay's stopped letting magazines be sold on there. Too easy to scam. It just sux that he said they'd be submitted, he had a good rep on there, and now he's disappeared & I can't really do anything about it. These were ordered shortly before mother's day, so I doubt paypal would even consider refunding it if I contacted them now -- I also did check both magazine's customer service websites & entered all the info -- they had no record of the orders. :(

I did wind up contacting Paypal and they told me that since it was beyond 45 days, they won't refund... however, if enough people complain about a seller w/in 180 days, they reserve the right to open an investgation into the seller. I researched on the net and thru the seller's feedback (it's Subscriptions4less if you want to google it) and gathered a list of people that paid, never rec'd their magazines, and most had contacted paypal & got refunds. I sent paypal the list (there were 8 that left neg FB between June & present stating such, I'm sure there are others like me that were screwed over that couldn't leave FB) and asked "how many more people need to request refunds from this seller's fraudulent actions before you open an investigation?"

Waiting on a reply from them. Also went out of my way to post all that info on many consumer advocate/rip off sites (like 'pissed consumer') so hopefully it spreads the word. The seller recently replied to all the neg feedback on his ebay acct saying ebay shut down all their auctions and locked them out of their acct, but that's no excuse as they'd still have all our address info, name, email, what we bought, etc thru paypal, so they could have either contacted us, refunded us, or submitted the subscriptions. I'm angry and calling 'em out on it!
