Any comments on this scheme?



From the looks of it, their web designer is a real pro.


16. Can I buy more Gift Codes Or Vouchers

Gift Codes are distributed by companies and businesses through media and their authorized representatives as "Gifts". They may not be purchased by individuals and may not be resold under any circumstances. YOU MAY NOT SELL OR RESELL YOUR GIFT CODE. THIS IS PROHIBITED BY THE RULES OF THE PROMOTION AND THE LAW.

- there is not a direct signup...so not very useful...


after reading FAQS I only have 1 question...
Is the 5 dollar fee refundable?
My god they beat that to death.


A whois to find the owner, gives this "corporate" address. link.

Run, run so far away....


I like their "Gas Station of the Month" .. it's a classic Shell station straight out of Mayberry RFD. Golly!


I hope the Personal Redemption Agents don't forget that they are answering the Free Bee Gas phone line and not the Real Hot Local Girls That Want To Talk To You phone line.


There is at least one good gas rebate company out here. I got a new car and get a $25 gas card monthly when I send in my receipts, BUT RUN as fast as you can from any site that looks like freebeegas.com, freebiegas.com, freegasredemption.com and others. They are a big rip off. They haven't sent gas cards in months. And way to many complaints on sites like this one!

And they are under investigation by the FL State Attorney General too!


JUST DONT USE THEM (FREEBEEGAS.COM)


I've sent them receipts (after paying administration fee) for FIVE months and never received anything from them. Each month they send me an email saying they have received my receipts, but when I try to contact them, all I get is an email with canned content. Don't use them!


Thank you so much for your information. I have just filed another complaint with the attorney general's office in Florida.

Hi Yolanda,

After further review it seems like we are missing a couple key pieces of information. We will need the following to continue processing of your $250 gift card.

* Your SSN
* Your Date of Birth
* Your mother's maiden name

Thank you,

I got a cert for $225 worth of gas from this site from a test drive (9 months worth). I decided to gamble the $5, and after my first card failed to show up on time, I went back to the car dealership that offered the cert. originally. After the manager there called the owner of the rebate company, I got a $25 prepaid Visa a few days later.

I guess I've got 8 more trips to the dealership coming up (good thing they are close by). Whatever happens, I've already got more than my $5 back.


We have sent in the last four months receipts for our gasoline and have never received one voucher for free gas. I feel at this time and date it's not legit. We sent the receipts to 14100Walsingham Rd., Ste.36, Largo, Florida 33774. We made a deal with a Timeshare salesman to sell our timeshare,and he promised us &350.00 worth of free gas a free 3 day hotel stay if we would sign the contract with him. We did. Nothing so far.

I followed through on the request for receipts for the first three months and received nothing... And when I complained, I got an "apology" and a promise for immediate response. That was three months ago. As far as I can tell, this is a scam to get the original "processing fee" of $5 with nothing in return. If I am wrong, why still no response from the company???

I, too, want to add my name to this case #L08-3-1160. I have not received my $25 gift cards, I have been in touch with the company both by email and phone. I first started collected gas receipts in October, 2008.

Towne Automotive Group provided the "incentive" - A $300 rebate card, (which I paid FreeBeeGas.com $5.00 through Paypal.com).

I sent another message to FreeGasGas.com a message on 12/18/08 - Here is their response:

We have incurred a complete sequel server database crash, we are aggressively working just as fast as possible to get the newest system functioning properly to better service your account. These issues were unavoidable and unintentional. We have completed the new database software and are in the process of switching the new and the old. During this time you may experience telecommunication issues with our firm, as well as internet. We are expecting to have no further troubles on or after the 30th of December. I understand this is a frustrating situation. Please send your request again in the beginning of January.

That's all

1. Anyone referencing a "sequel" server does not know much about it. Perhaps this was written by a customer service person and never seen by technical staff.

2. Database "crashes" are avoidable and, more importantly, recoverable with a minimal level of widely known practices.

Did anyone ever discover a legitimate way these "free gas" companies are making money? That's an important question I answer before making any investment of time or money. For example, I know 0% no fee credit card promos are paid for by suckers who go on to pay very high interest rates and late fees. If "free gas" doesn't have some above board profit angle, OF COURSE they're going to be slow and incompetent in sending out money.

January ................... 1962?

I have telephoto eyesight, and have determined that the price on the pump is 13 cents/gal. Those gas cards will go a long way.


Began sending my vouchers in beginning October 2008. Still have received nothing. I have learned they are being sued by the Forida Attorney General. I suppose I am out $5 and 2 hours (can you put a price on time?)for a auto sales pitch. Big time scam!! Freebeegas.com and gasolineredemtion.com were my contacts. Raise hell everone!!
I filed a complaint with the Florida Attorney General. Here is the link: Florida Attorney General Complaint Form

To any real developer, this message is just beyond comical!

complete sequel server database crash - it's SQL, not sequel.
These issues were unavoidable and unintentional. - This is why you have system backups and disaster recovery
During this time you may experience telecommunication issues with our firm, as well as internet. <-- OH NOSE!!! I'm going to have problems with the internet because your database server is down!?!?! Send in homeland security!


This is a scam. It does not work. I trid it for three months and received nothing and had to pay $5.00 to join.

Hi. I just found this post. I was trying to follow up on my rebate gas cards. Looks like I've been had. The worst part is that I gave them $5 to waste my time. I found the tidewater website (it was green and white)linked through the FL attorney general's site and I filed a consumer complaint there. Do I also need to call the attorney general's office? Is there anywhere else I can file a claim?
Thanks so much!


I sent in my receipts every month I have tryed to call but no one ever seems to pick up the phone. I won a 300.00 gas card but still have not got anything what a SCAM. I also paid a 5.00 processing fee with nothing return to me. Please contact me at kroger27@juno.com. I still have a copy of the gas card if the lawayer needs it for a case that could be filed
