I would like to reiterate what user "TheBest101" said previously--the company is not a scam. Unlike some companies it does not unwittingly enroll you in their service. I voluntarily and knowingly enrolled when I made a purchase on ProFlowers.com because of the eponymous free shipping offer. The terms of enrollment clearly state that you can get up to $15 off shipping during your free 30 day trial. I made a note in my calendar to remind myself to cancel the membership before that date.
You do not get free shipping on just anything, only when ordering from partnered companies and only if you submit a claim. Submitting a claim is cumbersome--you fill out an online form to get a code and then send a copy of the charge you're claiming along with the code by mail. As you can guess, it takes the traditional 3-6 weeks to process. I was doubtful, but when I called to check on my claim about three weeks later the operator was helpful, amiable and forthcoming about the deal. She voluntarily mentioned that my free trial was coming to an end soon and warned me that I would be charged automatically if I didn't cancel, and reassured me my current claim would continue to be processed even though I cancelled on the spot. No questions asked, no hassle. (I have up to three more weeks to wait for my check to arrive in the mail, but I'm not too worried.) Better Business Bureau gives them an A+ rating.

Of note, I WAS scammed by a company called Easy Saver (aka EMI Encore Marketing International) during the same ProFlowers purchase. They enrolled me in a $14.95/month program without my knowing. I already called my credit card company and will be calling Easy Saver itself when their phones open during business hours. Better Business Bureau gives them a D+ rating.

I joined freeshipping.com and the service was very poor, bordering on fraudulent. Claims have to be submitted on paper, and the payments when received are not as much as the claims sent in, and are extremely delayed in being received. You will end up paying more for the yearly membership than what you receive back in claims. Furthermore, I submitted a large amount of claims at the end of my membership time period in December, when buying Christmas presents, and when my freeshipping membership expired on Jan 17, I cancelled it. So they stated they do not pay for purchases /claims made a month ago, because my membership was cancelled i.e., in order to be paid anything for those claims, I would have had to renew the membership. It is a HUGE hassle to print paperwork and mail into them and keep track of it. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY on this. Just get Amazon Prime which is much easier to use. If freeshipping.com ever decides to pay my claims, I will revise this posting.

Ordered Christmas gifts from a website called BettysAttic.com on December 9, 2009. Recieved my product through the mail from Betty's Attic without a problem and in a timely manner. As of today, Saturday, January 9, 2009 I noticed a debit to my bank account for $83.88 from a company called FreeShipping.com. DID NOT AUTHORIZE THIS DEBIT! Called the company and DEMANDED a refund of that money. Got into a confrontation with the lady who I spoke to (did not get a name) and she insisted that I did make the purchase through Betty's Attic. She did have all of my information: my first and last name, my home address and when I made the purchase from Betty's Attic. I believe this company is a scam and gains your infromation through certain on-line catalog ordering companies. If possibe, stay away from online purchasing, BettysAttic.com and by all means, steer clear of FreeShipping.com. They are a crooked and fraudulent company.

I just noticed the same $83.88 charge to my account. This charge happened more than 3 weeks after the purchase was made for a mother's day gift, over the internet. These crooks need to have a class action suit filed against them. There is no small print anywhere describing their right or authorization for these charges.

I just wanted to clear some things up when it comes to this company... It is not a scam! The only way this company gets your information is when you see it's offer at one of their partner website saying you qualify for freeshipping. This is what they say and this is what they will do. Once you sign up, which means entering alllllll of your information in, including address, credit card number, security questions AND a password. Plus you agree to the terms and conditions. You read them right? Because that is what you agreed to. It's not the companies fault you didn't when you said you did. Once you sign in and claim your rebate, you MAIL in the confirmation email you received from the website you ordered at just so they have a proof of purchase. It gives you all of this information when your claim it. It takes 4 - 6 weeks to get the check in the mail. If you see yourself signed up for this, it is your fault and you need to take full responsibility for it. Don't complain saying "this was an unauthorized charged" because it wasn't. Maybe you should watch where you put your credit card number and other information in. And oh ya, there was a reason you went to school so put your reading skills to good use!
