WLI Reservations Rewards
My husband and I recently purchased tickets on line at movietickets.com After our purchase was completed this screen comes up to confirm billing info.
This was not confirming info for the purchase....my purchase was already complete.....but authorization to give my credit card info to a scam called WLI Reservations Rewards.
We were not given a "No thanks" button or a "Close" only the "confirm" button. And we were not asked to enter the info again in order to "join" this program. One accidental click is all it takes. Anyone not reading the screen completely is very likely to just hit confirm thinking they are wrapping up the transaction.
Not only did this allow them to take $9.00 out of my account... it was a MEMBERSHIP that would renew monthly.
Legal?? Yes... But very shady and underhanded.
I will never use this site again.
Please pass this along so others don't get taken as well!

I was one of those folks unobservant enough to hit "confirm" instead of "no thanks" only to figure out later that I had authorized the Rewards sleazeballs to charge money to my card card each month, apparently forever. I contacted the Consumer Protection Division of the North Carolina Attorney General, and they helped me get a refund and end the charges. Whether legal or not, this is a horribly misleading program and the big movie theater companies who make this possible should be ashamed of themselves. Want to stop it? Every time you go to the movie, ask to see a manager and tell them you don't appreciate the attempt to ripoff movie goers. I also got a card in the mail about a class action suit. I'm not the only one dumb enough to fall into this trap, apparently.
