Wife just found a $90.85CDN charge from Amazon on her VISA.
Called visa and they advised her it was something kind of membership to
get "free shipping".
Of course she did not read all the fine print when ordering in
August..if it was even clearly marked. All she saw was a pair of shoes
she wanted and the promise of " free shipping". She has only ever
ordered a total of 3 items from Amazon and is unlikely to order much
more so a $90.85 "free shipping" benefit for one year doesn't seem like
much of a deal. Visa was useless and advised her to contact Amazon.
She went to Amazon's Web Site and because no phone number was noted she
canceled the membership on line.They promise refund within 5 working
days. I'll be waiting to see how much the credit is.
You have to wonder how many people get dinged with this sneaky maneuver.
Sounds like she signed up for Amazon Prime. We love it.
Maybe she should shop more at Amazon.
And pay more attention to what she's clicking. The free two day shipping with Prime comes in handy
sometimes also.
