Anybody used www.claimyourgroceries.com?

I am looking to get some feedback on any catch that is involved? What should I look out for?

Never heard of them before. Domain is new and cloaked, can't be good or a real company.

OP, did you receive a grocery certificate? The site just seems like a way to give gift cards so the recipient has to jump through hoops to claim it. If you are looking at buying these certificates as incentives for others, I would think twice about it, seems like a PITA for the recipient.

I did recieve a cert and before I went through the 'hassle' just wanted to get any opinions.

I guess its not too hard to mail and envelope and find out...

I just got one myself for 25.00 a month to total 500.00 they asked all kinds of info and I left them blank when I registered. Mine starts in April mine was from when I bought a new bed last week. good luck to us , it's worth a try..

I got an email back the end of March in reply to my questions about when the card would show up(below). So far I have sent Feb and Mar...skipping April. Probably right around 9 weeks from first round and still nothing and I never have gotten confirmation emails.

Dear Customer,
We are currently in the process of redeeming claims for the month of February. The time of arrival is 8-12 weeks. This time frame is from when the mail is postmarked to when you will receive your gift card. Thank you and have a great day!
Sincerely,
Your Friendly Claim Your Groceries Team

I have sent in the receipts and cupons for Feb., March, and April. I've gotten email that they have received these each time and are going to process them. I have yet to get the first gift card though. If this is a scam, I intend to bring a lot of attention to it and to any retailer that uses this as a sale incentive. All the hoops to jump through and still no gift cards . . . that's wrong!

Another update. Today I received this e-mail:

"I apologize for the inconvenience, it appears that you have been placed on a report to have your January 2009 gift card shipped out within the next couple of weeks directly from our office in Mesa, Arizona.

"We’re sorry for the inconvenience. It looks as if your February redemption has not been received. We can accommodate you by adding an additional month to the end of your redemption. If this is something that you would like to pursue please let us know. Also, if you have copies of your February redemption that you sent in, you may send it to our location or via fax at 480-406-6525."

So they claim again that the card's about to go in the mail, and they somehow seem to have lost my February receipts (which, by their own rules, means that it will be months before I receive a second gist card even if the first gift card does appear).

This looks like a scam. Like the last poster said, I'm going after the company that game me this "promotion," too!

new customer service phone number 1.480.455.5192

I have 3 $500.00 certificates. 2 were from buying a Mitsubishi TV and the 3rd was from the store promotion itself. I finally had to call. Turns out you need to be careful. Some of the certificates have a must register by date, use that one first, whereas the others have NO expiration date according to customer service. Interesting, because the store told me to use their cert last, and I just noticed that had I done that, I would have lost out because you can only register one cert at a time and can only register the second when the first one is used up. I am glad I made the error in not listening to what the store told me.

I found this forum and I am at a my wits end about the whole thing I have been sending reciepts since January and all I recieve are emails saying they recieved my voucher and it will be processed but nothing has happened and it is May. Does anyone have any good news about this company?

I have also been sending in receipts since February. I always get an email indicating that my receipts were received and the gift cards are in the mail. Nothing received to date. I am going to try calling them today. I doubt we will ever receive anything since we know many of us have sent in the required paperwork and have received nothing.

I just got done calling the customer service line. I sent in my April receipts and asked when I would be receiving my $25 gift card. I was told it takes 10 to 12 weeks to receive each card. Seems like a lot of time to wait for a lousy $25 gift card.

I called the customer service department today and was told that it takes 10 to 12 weeks to receive each $25 gift card for claimyourgroceries.com. Seems like a really long wait for a lousy $25 gift card.

Ok so I checked my mail today hoping to get my giftcard and I got it. I really can't believe I actually got it. I called to complain on Monday and they said if I didn't recieve it by Friday to call. So I guess if any of you are still waiting, call and complain!!! That's how I got mine. Good Luck..

We also received our $500 "free groceries" voucher from Legacy Rooms Express and have been waiting since January to get one of these cards. We have complained, in writing, to the furniture store corporate office last month - they left us a message on our voice mail that we would receive our January & February gift cards "within a week" - but of course, we have received nothing. We filed a complaint with the Arizona Attorney General (Consumer Affairs) and also with the Better Bus Bureau in Arizona. Both complaints can be filed online and I recommend that everyone who is having this experience with claimyourgroceries.com or other companies that are run by BBZ Resource Management, file complaints also. No one is regulating these kinds of companies - and our lovely furniture stores and car dealerships that give out these vouchers pay 2 - 4 cents on the dollar for them, if that. I feel really cheated. We bought a TV last year and the ONLY reason we bought it was because Mitsubishi was offering us free gas and the furniture store offered us free groceries. Well, the first .com gas voucher company is now being investigated for fraud by the Florida Attorney General, so we never got any gas cards. Then Mitsubishi sent us info and a new voucher for claimyourgas.com - but unfortunately, this new one is the same as claimyourgroceries.com and we aren't getting any gift cards from them. If you know business law, you should know that you CAN file a small claims suit against the company that gave you the "free groceries" (or gas). If you relied on their promise to purchase something and then they do not stand by their promise, it hurt you financially. It's called "promissory estoppel" (legal term). The way I see it, Legacy Rooms Express and Mitsubishi owe us $1,100 - that's what we expected in return for our puchase and they haven't complied with their end of the bargain - and that's fraud, plain and simple. As David Horowitz would say: FIGHT BACK, AMERICA! Don't let anyone - ANYONE - rip you off.

This is an update. We filed a Better Bus Bureau complaint on the 14th and claimyourgroceries.com called us this morning to say that our THREE gift cards they owe us would be mailed tomorrow. So filing with the BBB seems to get immediate results, whereas emails to them have gone unresolved since March. I will post again when - and if - I actually receive the three gift cards.

Anybody else have any luck w/ receiving their cards recently? Also, anybody know any other sites ran by these people? So far I have:

claimyourgroceries.com
claimyourgas.com
claimyourmerchandise.com

Like many here, was considering doing this but looks like it might be too much of a headache.

I received three VISA gift cards today in the mail for $25 each - that was for Jan. Feb. & March grocery receipts. We used Costco as our store of choice but we can't used these VISA cards at Costco in the store OR for gas.The cards have to be used as "credit" cards and Costco doesn't accept credit cards. I have to try to use them somewhere else. I do shop at other grocery stores because we only go to Costco once a month - so if the VISA gift cards work at the other stores, then I'll accept that. However, since claimyourgroceries.com advertises this program as a "loyalty" program and they make you pick a specific store to use, they SHOULD supply gift cards that can be spent at the store of your choice. Not much loyalty involved in sending in receipts for Costco but having to spend the gift cards elsewhere. I'm still leary about how this will work and it was SUCH a hassle to get this far - but I did get $75 from them - finally - so I'll give it a chance. Good luck to anyone using this program. Oh - someone asked about what other names this company is using: the blanket company is BBZ Resource Management and their NEW name is now incentiveinternational.com

We just purchased a bedroom set from Beck's in Sacramento today. We also received $600 credit with claimyourgroceries.com. I figured it'd be a jump through hoops kind of rebate, but it sounds like ultimately, you will get your gift card. Although I haven't read if anyone had trouble spending them? Also, who knows where this company will be in 2 years (length of my credit). Any tips and suggestions for starting out using this program? Also, on Beck's info packet, it says to print the vouchers off of valuebuzz.com. My McAfee Siteadvisor doesn't have that site as a green site (it's not red either, so not necessarily unsafe). Thanks!

We were able to spend our VISA gift cards at Vons and Stater Bros with no problems, so the cards do work. I was emailed a pin # by Brittney Milan from IncentiveInternational.com in order to activate the cards before using. I didn't have the problems that other people are having as far as pin numbers not working..etc. but remember, I filed a complaint with the Better Business Bureau so they were actually responding to that complaint, not to my personal requests. We have a gas voucher for $600, too - same company - so we are now sending in gas AND grocery receipts to them. My husband and I don't think we will see the full $1,100 from both programs...but the stores/companies who issued us the vouchers will hopefully be held liable for the balance we didn't get. Another battle to be fought for another day. I am not familiar with Beck's Furniture but have not heard of printing vouchers on Valuebuzz. We registered our original voucher on the website claimyourgroceries.com and printed our vouchers from there - same with the claimyourgas.com program, though the latter only lets us print out one voucher at a time.

morethanaconsumer said: And now they went bankrupt??? Filed Chapter 11?? This doesn't really sound like a coincidence. Get thousands of people to purchase these certificates and then File Chapter 11. How does businesses get away with this? B/c the regular working person doesn't have deep enough pockets to take them to court.That's how Donald Trump made his money.
