I received a very flimsy mailing with a check for $8.75 that appeared to be a credit card/travel club/discount club solicitation. The three companies listed at different places on the mailing were db design by Buxton, Great Fun and Trilegiant Corporation. The wording stated that if I cashed the check that my credit card that is on file with Buxton Bags would be charged $149.99 a year.

I did purchase a Buxton Bag as a gift last year from a TV ad. I called Buxton Bags and I was told that they do not have my info and gave me number to call to a company, As Seen on TV, that would have my info but that number was incorrect. That agent in turn gave me another incorrect number. I called Great Fun's number on the mailing and they told me Buxton has my info.

What concerns me is that my credit card information is out there to be easily accessed by someone that cashes that check. I find this to be a very shoddy way to do business.
