Complaint Review: USA Gold Credit

This company sent me a letter telling me that I was approved for a 5,000 Credit limit and I said sure sounds great. So, they said that all I had to do was pay a deposit of 150 dollars. I thought that was not a bad deal, so, I agreed.

Well, I ended up receiving this credit card that you can only use in their online store, but all the merchandize in there is ridiculously over priced. Ultimately, I ended up calling them back demanding my money back, but they said they couldnt do that. Instead, they fed me this BS that my credit would be getting better since I had the credit card. I told them that I wanted it so I could use it not so it would better my credit. They said that I could use the 150 dollar gift certificate, but you can't even use that crap because you have to pay a down payment.

I am furious and I want my money back! I saw a segment on CBS with Dan Rather today (Feb. 28, 2003), but they didnt mention how we can report this to get our money back. Anyone know?
