Dish network satellite ad in savvy saver dated april 2009 clearly states in the tiny, nearly illegible white print at the bottom of the ad, the bronze 100 channel programming qualified for the $300 gas or groceries promotion. .
I selected the 100 channel program for which I could receive the most from the ad. . I was told I had to pay for a 200 channel programming package to receive this 300 dollar promotion, 1 / 2 an hour later. . . The same man had 30 min prior to that call, approved the hit on my credit to determine if it was good, after I gave my social security number and credit card number to them. Because we didn't agree on the ad in writing, the supervisor going by the name of 'will' stated he would check with another supervisor in the escalation team and get back to me - never heard from him. I phoned the same number at Saveology, a marketing / sales office running dish network TV ads and sales. I learned from another supervisor that there was no such ad, another company was offering the promos clearly printed with Saveology's toll free number and name.
I was tricked into giving this company Saveology. My social security number and credit card numbers. Which they used to check my credit under false pretenses. They talk in circles, change their offers in the same sentence, lie, and advertise in a bait and switch scheme to get people to call. Then the sales dept states other companies attach their own ads to Saveology's and they have no control over that.  Bull! This ad is in writing in the April 2009 desert ridge / north phoenix savvy saver and cannot be copied because the white ink used for the small print can't be reproduced. These are criminal and misleading business practices.

Dear annonymousna,
I am glad you are proud of the company you work for but it is a company that is ripping off consumers, using the offer of rebates to collect credit information. I also qualified for
a $300.00 rebate and even received the vouchers in the mail after a long 6 month wait.
But the vouchers were vouchers to be filled in either by mail or online in order to receive another voucher booklet which would then require me to spend an additional $1200.00 in order to receive the $300.00 rebate. I did fill in the vouchers and am still waiting for the voucher booklet. Sorry hon, but your company is running scams and unless you are working in the accounting dept it's hard to see the scams your own company is running.
Thank you,
stillwaiting

Before you talk like this on the internet you need to do a research. Saveology.com is a very respected, creditable company that serves as a 3rd party reseller for big companies like Verizon, ATT, Comcast, Cox communications, Charter Communications, Time warner cable, ADT Alarms, Protect america alarms, saveology moving, Pack rats and many more. And big companies like those won't allow anyone to re-sell their services without making sure it's a creditable party. You see, the problem with people like you as well as many dumb people in the internet is that you never read the fine prints. Of course before you apply for any service the company needs to verify if you have good, bad or excellent credit. Before they give you something you have to qualify. They want to make sure you don't owe $1, 000 to Direct TV before signing you up for Dish. The same pretty much the same applies when you apply for a cellphone or even a car. So read and research before you talk crap on the internet.

Saveology.com's concept is pretty much the same as Travelocity or Cheaptickets.com, it's just a comparison shopping site to make your life easier.

I work for this company and I have also worked for pretty respectable companies like American Express and AT&T and let me tell you that the company is legit and we have thousands of customers and pretty much the level of dissatisfaction is close to none.

As far as the $200 or $300 promo, it states clearly on the site that you qualify for discounts in a page called clubsaveology.com and as a matter of fact I just stayed in a 5 star hotel in Orlando Florida and got huge discounts even for the plane ticket using Clubsaveology.com.

The "supervisor" probably never got back with you either because of a system issue or because he or she was busy at the time. We deal with thousands of customers a DAY! and if you were sooooo dissatisfied why didn't you call Dish directly? hmmmm just curious. I have never hear any complaints. as a matter of fact I was just looking for Saveology.com on the net because I also use the services and I encounter this page with your dumb complaint. But for all of you out there don't listen to people like this. This is the typical dissatisfied customer who is a pain in the ### for any company he is afilliated with or have services with. I would say more but I will just leave it like that.
