So I've read on several of the other Dealpass threads about how many of us have been Blacklisted, many of us because of the whole TE fiasco that happened a while back. What I wanted to start this thread for was to give people who have been blacklisted a place to reference what the signs are and any options/solutions they may have available to them. Now, I don't have all the answers as I have have been blacklisted as well and have yet to actualy go through with the options I'd heard. But I can provide the following information and ask some known questions:

You will know you're blacklisted by Dealpass when you go to sign up and it won't let you, giving you the following information:

I've since contacted Dealpass and was told it had to do with the TE fiasco in that they told me the computer said I already have an account, so most likely that is what is causing the problem. I was told I would get a call back from a woman in their Consumer Affairs Deaprtment within 48 hours but have not heard anything. I returned the call and left a voicemail with this same woman and have yet to receive a call back in almost a week. Suffice it to say, I don't think they want to address the issue. So other options I have heard on the other threads:

I hear that if you're blacklisted, you should just chose a different address, but keeping same CC number is okay. But because the address needs to match the CC number, you'll need to change the address manually through dealpass or else you won't get your giftcards.

Now, I've heard a couple stories about how it's been successful, but I've also heard that it's a very risky thing to do, that you may not get the refund, etc. My current questions are: has anyone anything to say on this topic? Any other suggestions? How about using a prepaid debit card - I dunno about the address thing though?

I really hope that we can get a good discussion going about this so everyone can enjoy the benefits of these programs. If you have been blacklisted, please use this is as a reference for the future and ask questions you might have, so the other Dealpass threads don't all have sporadic information on this subject.

Additionally, if you have been blacklisted and have had experience getting around this, PLEASE let us know what you have done, your experiences, suggestions, etc.

It's my real hope this discussions works for many of us, and even if you haven't experienced this but have heard from others, please share it with us so we can sort it all out and all have as much information as possible.

Thanks!!

Are you blacklisted from ALL DealPass programs, or are you just prevented from signing up for TE again since computer says you already had a TE membership recently ?

Blacklisted on one.. blacklisted on ALL (dealpass). I was on the TE fiasco as well (finger to the now infamously guilty one) but I'm surprised since I'm with Dealpass for quite a while now paying monthly due faithfully.

I don't have a firm answer... I was successful in getting back in using a different address and phone # so I'm not sure it's phone or address or both. I know almost for sure they don't keep track of CC#.

My suggestion to anyone else:

Try just change the phone # (use a cell, work#)

if that fails

Try a slight different address, ie add an "apartment" number.

Oh, I just remembered, I used a different email address too. Try that.

Huh, I didn't thought it would affect credit rating... I could be wrong but I don't think a merchant can GET ones' address and phone with just a CC#. (actually, I'm almost sure of this). The reverse is true though, a CC user can get a charge's address and phone #. As far as I know they are not using caller ID, unlike some CC company. You have to PUNCH in your phone #.

Maybe I'm just brain dead but I can't think of any possible reason what so ever this would affect credit rating. I can care less about what my credit report regarding any other information except that I pay on time. The Finance forum got some funny post from people who care too much about credit report.

The only real risk I see is losing the 20% credit back. I welcome any correction to my understanding.

hey guys I dont understand the whole thing with the credit report thing can you guys go little bit in detail. Like how can they report to credit card I mean if you are paying your stuff on time they can't send it to the credit bureau
please reply thannks

My personal wonder is how this would work with a pre-paid debit card? perhaps the address wouldn't be of consequence? or maybe it wouldn't work at all because the address would be the issuer? anyone know how pre-paid debit cards work in detail?

There are big risks to signing up with different addresses, I've seen it get pushed to credit reports....


Where did you hear this info? What do you mean by gets pushed to credit reports? What get pushed to credit reports exactly? Sounds a little fishy to me..

NM - I see you cleared it up a bit in a later post... had me really thinking hard there for a moment.

psubill78 said:All I can tell you...

I had an address that I used ONLY on dealpass (never, ever, ever, ever anywhere else) and it showed up as an address on a recent credit pull...

Too fishy for my taste..

From which company? dealpass?

what exactly was the "TE Fiasco"?
