DON'T Try Saving With Savemore!

I know that months ago I would have said I enjoy this site, but that was BEFORE everything they've become, and NONE of it is a change for the better! I ordered a $10 Subway Gift Card on 11/6, and a $25 Autozone Gift Card on 11/14, and have NOT received either! I spoke with someone about a week before Christmas, and they swore the Subway card had been sent, and told me they would both be resent the NEXT DAY. I STILL have NOT received a thing! So I started looking into it.... This is what they've become:

The BBB Warns Daily Deal Shoppers About Complaints On Savemore

PLEASE keep in mind when reading this, that these are ONLY complaints filed WITH THE BBB. NOT every complaint Savemore has received!

Then I decided to look into their FB page. I thought, Hey, most business are happy to try and appease their customers and help them out from a public page, especially since it's open for everyone to view. I am APPALLED at the lack of care, the sarcastic attitude, and the complete neglect to care what anyone is posting. I'm adding a few of my "favorite" examples, but please, check them out here: SaveMore On Facebook Be sure to browse the endless list of complaints before you ever think about wasting your time and money on this site. 

1: How does CVS not know they are "working with Savemore" to provide this deal?

2: No Savemore, thank you for your continuous, obvious sarcasm and poor attitude. PS - I enjoy the way you only argue being a "complete scam", and without even offering anything to back yourself up. EVER. She made it clear she received other purchases, as many of us did. Congrats on only being a partial scam.

3: Waiting on what? Shouldn't you have HAD what you're trying to sell? PS - I've received useless emails like these. They were false also.

4: It seems NO ONE gets through. I know I've been trying for the past 2 months. Never gotten through. Never gotten a call back. And I suppose I should further congratulate Savemore on completely neglecting to actually READ the post here, before replying and making their incompetence crystal clear.

5: Yay! Someone received something! Oh wait.... She didn't order just an envelope? Funny how people expect them to contain things! And this was resolved? Hmmm... Doesn't seem like it was Savemore.

6: Another item NOT received. And you're still waiting for cards to come in? Stop selling what you DON'T have! I wonder if anyone has called and asked is Barnes & Noble is actually working with Savemore? I might have to give them a call... Call it morbid curiosity. In the meantime, we can ponder the likelihood of the towels ever going out.

7: GO MELISSA! I WILL be doing the same. THANK YOU for giving everyone the heads up! I LOVE how Savemore considers this spam, yet their posts about their deals you'll never receive aren't classified as spam.... Hmmm... A lot to wonder about here... PS - Way to be polite to your "valued customer" again;-)

8: This is continued from the last picture - I can't get a screen shot as big as I would like sometimes! :-) Oh look, Savemore being an outright.... well I guess there are a number of words I could put there, but none of them is really blog-appropriate here;-)

9: This is another continuation of the last 2 pictures. If you're starting to wonder, YES, Stephani King IS my profile. See how they asked to assist me there? 6 hours ago as of my posting this? I have yet to receive ANY help;-)

Rant About My Day... And Pics From My Shopping Trip:-D

So today I had my court date. It was for small claims court. Back in December 2008 a woman t-boned my best friend and I in a sleet storm. It was an awful night, and my car was totaled. I found out nearly too days later I had a pretty awful concussion. Living over an hour away and not having a car, not to mention being more worried about the holidays and taking car of my daughter, I didn't go after them for damages. I cut my losses, and moved on. I heard from her insurance company once, to ask em for my side of the story. I told them exactly what had happened. They told me they would be in contact with me if they were coming after me for damages. I told them if they felt the need to go that route, I would be hiring an attorney. I never heard from them again. We moved an hour from there in June 2009. I never got anything else from them. Over a month ago I checked my credit score, to find I had a judgement against me for $4600 that had gone unpaid. Come to find out they waited until April of THIS YEAR to come after me, and never notified me at all. The DAY AFTER I happen upon this information, I ironically get a notice in the mail that I've had my license suspended because of my lack of payments on this... Needless to say I was shocked, and none too happy. So I petitioned to reopen, and thankfully it was, without a hitch. Today I had my husband take myself, and my best friend/witness to court. I brought my flash drive, to print out the pictures that proved a good part of my case, so we stopped at the store to print them first. OMG the flash drive is GONE. I was so nervous I wanted to just run out the door. (I have very bad anxiety issues, and this was definitely setting them off.) Thankfully the judge was very down to Earth, and absolutely amazing. The lawyer for the plaintiff rambled off a ton of info that had nothing to do with who was or wasn't at fault. He tried to tell me $3000 of the claim was in lost wages, and pain and suffering. He even had the insurance adjuster on the phone. She claimed to have been at this job for 13+ years, but did NOT get the paperwork from the doctor verifying the extent or cause of the plaintiff's injury. They tried to say that she had a fractured rib, that kept her from working... as a psychiatrist.... They gave the excuse that she couldn't show up to the court date because of a condition I can't remember the name of. When asked what this condition is, they could only say it causes the person to bruise more easily than others. So you can work? But you can't sit in a court room? The judge asked if we could get her on the phone at least. Apparently she was unavailable even over the phone. When I explained everything to the judge he was kind, he listened, he asked questions, he even took the time and patience to understand my explanation of the officer's poor drawing of what he thought had happened. The outcome? He DISMISSED THE CHARGES! I could not be happier! Want to know the kicker? The lawyer, that has been trying to bully me and has been just rude the entire time, and very, VERY cocky, had the nerve on the way out to tell me he will be sending me a copy of the form to take me to Circuit court over it... Excuse me, but is that really your decision? You work for an insurance company. They've paid you to go to court TWICE now, and you lost to the young woman that came in lawyer-less and without anything prepared, and STILL won. To assume that they would want you to escalate things, when I made it clear that I will be counter-suing if this is the case, is asinine. Saying it in a threatening manner, and continuing with your cocky attitude is ridiculous. THANKFULLY, my husband was sweet enough to take Barbie and I around to hit up some great deals, use some coupons, and have some fun before court started. Between the sales, deals, and outcome of court, my day was pretty much perfect:-D So I just had to get that out, and fill in a few people wondering what the court date was over. Now, here's a few pictures of the pile of stuff I came home with. Thank you Walmart for the random clearance sales that provided overages, Barbie for the extra coupons, and Dustin, my hubby, for taking us:-)

 

Man's Holiday Travel Survival Kit Giveaway!!

We all know that not everyone likes to travel. Too often I hear about the men in my friend's lives complaining about traveling for the holidays. So why don't we make it a little easier on them? I've put together a box full of the random goodness to keep the man in your life content when he's away from home.

ENTER AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS PAGE:-)

The box includes:

1. 2 Bars of Dove Men Body and Face Bars - To wash the stink of despair away when visiting the in-laws.
2. 1 Fusion ProGlide Razor - To leave him feeling refreshed and able to take on the task of dealing with the holidays.
3. 1 Tube of Fusion ProSeries Sensitive Face Wash - Because we know how sensitive they can get when Mom starts badgering them.
4. 1 24 Count Bayer Advanced Aspirin - Something to kill the pain of the nagging it takes to get them moving.
5. 2 Medium sized bottles of Body Wash - Let's face it, they have to smell nice if they're going to be joining the family at the dinner table.
6. 1 Tylenol Precise Cream - To help with those aches and pains when Mom puts him to work on those long overdue projects she comes up with.
7. 1 Mini First Aid Kit - To bandage up those darned paper cuts he gets pretending to be lost in the paper when your family wants to chat it up with him.
8. 1 Small Bottle of Maalox to help keep Mom's undercooked Christmas dinner down.
9. 1 Small Can of Shaving Cream - Because nicking himself shaving would give him one more thing to whine about.
10. 1 Stick of Gillette Deodorant - So when your parents try to sweat the truth out of him about something embarrassing he can hold his ground - and not make a stink about it.
11. One Pen Style Spray Off! Bug Spray - Just in case you're going somewhere warm enough for bugs this time of year!
12. 1 10 Pack of Gas-X Soft Gels - Because Dad's got smelling up the place under control as is.
13. 3 Things of Candy - To bribe him into getting into the car, and maybe sweeten him up a little!

DISCLAIMER: I would like to say that I do realize not all men are this whiny or cranky about traveling for the holidays, and some even enjoy it! But where is the fun in posting about that?? ;-)
