BlueMountain.com no such thing as a free trial

I signed up for BlueMountain.com's 15-day free trial membership. After 5 days, I decided to cancel. I followed the cancellation link provided by BlueMountain, provided the necessary information, and cancelled the account. After 15 days, I was charged the annual membership fee of $15.99. The company does not provide helpful customer service and claims that "membership fees are nonrefundable" regardless of cancellation status. This company will rip you off. Do not sign up for anything unless you plan on paying the annual fee because they will not allow you to cancel and will not reimburse you.

At least you found a link to cancel your account with Blue Mountain. I tried to cancel my free trial online too but had to email them through their link as I am an international member. Of course, no replies after countless attempts of emailing. They just kept referring me to a 1-800 number which I cannot even call of of the States! I have to call my bank to cancel the card and reported it as a fraud. as it is still during my trial period when I made my initial request to cancel, they have not charge my credit card yet. Phew! Now they never will

BlueMountain.com billing

I am not happy with the business practices of this company who has a practice of autonewing their members without notifying them. They use Bill Me Later and this company does not include information as to what you are being billed for when you receive a statement. I have researched the BBB and found the following information that I think is important for all consumers to read before using Blue Mountain and agreeing to their billing practices. I also urge you to file a BBB complaint if you are unhappy with this company's billing practices:

"The BBB has identified a pattern of complaints, in that most of the complaints concern difficulty in canceling memberships within the free trial period, or at the annual renewal date. The company had requested that memberships be canceled by phone, even though consumers signed up online. Many consumers report difficulty in reaching the company by phone to complete the cancelation process and are then subsequently billed for membership. The company has responded to some of these complaints by issuing refunds. In other cases, the company refused to issue refunds, stating that the cancelation request was made after the grace period.
In April 2009, the BBB contacted the company, seeking its cooperation in addressing the underlying cause of these complaints. The company informed the BBB on May 12, 2009 that it is working on procedures to simplify the cancelation process, indicating that some changes in its phone system have been made already and they anticipate that further changes will be in place by mid June 2009. The company states it implemented an online cancelation mechanism around July 2009.
However, as of January 2010, the BBB continues to receive complaints from consumers who allege difficulty with the company's cancelation process.

When considering complaint information, please take into account the business's size and volume of transactions, and understand that the nature of complaints and a firm's responses to them are often more important than the number of complaints.

BBB processed a total of 364 complaint(s) about this business in the last 36 months, our standard reporting period. Of the total 364 complaint(s) closed in the last 36 months, 197 were closed in the last 12 months."

BlueMountain.com lack of customer service

WHAT A RELIEF TO DISCOVER THAT I AM NOT ALONE IN MY DISAPPOINTMENT WITH THE SERVICE GIVEN TO ME BY BLUE MOUNTAIN CARDS.
IN THE BEGINNING OF THE MONTH OF APRIL I PLANNED AN EVENT AND USED BLUE MOUNTAIN TO ANNOUNCE THE DATE. ONE MONTH HAS PASSED AND I RECEIVED NO RESPONSE TO MY ANNOUNCEMENT . IN FACT, BLUE MOUNTAIN SENT ME NOTIFICATION THAT MY ANNOUNCEMENTS HAD NEVER BEEN OPENED. AFTER CONTACTING EVERY PERSON WHO SUPPOSEDLY HAD BEEN SENT THIS NOTICE I LEARNED THAT THEY HAD NEVER RECEIVED MY ANNOUNCEMENT.
I EXPECT THAT THE SERVICES THAT I PAY FOR TO BE RELIABLE.NOT ONLY HAVE I PAID FOR SERVICES NOT RENDERED, I HAVE AN EVENT TO WHICH NOBODY MAY BE ABLE TO ATTEND.

BlueMountain.com unauthorized charges

Beware of this company which does not conduct business legitimately. All of a sudden I noticed $2.99/month charges appearing on my credit card for Blue Mountain membership. This was never authorized and was still very difficult to cancel. After much effort they still refused to refund all charges and insisted on keeping $2.99 for the first month. I also ordered them to remove me from their mailing list which they agreed to do but to this day I'm still receiving weekly marketing mail. How this company can operate as they do within the letter of the law I'll never know. ### of the highest order and thieves by any legal definition I'm aware of.

I have an unauthorized charge on my credit card, posted on my credit card on May 13, 2010, in the amount of $15.99. I would like it removed and get credit since I never
renewed to BLUEMOUNTAIN CARDS. I would appreciate you in removing me from your
list and crediting my account with American Express.

I do not send cards out any more due to sickness and other reasons.

It was nice dealing with you.

Can you please reply?

BlueMountain.com talking to a real life person

Contacting Blue Mountain Cards Customer Service is almost impossible (by design I imagine).

I was getting charged $2.99/month for an account that was not active and I could not find a telephone number anywhere on the website and canceling the account with the online option was not working because I did not have an active account. I searched online for the phone number and got these ones:

[protected] (correct number)
[protected] (gets you to the same place)

Both of these numbers get you to an incredibly aggravating automated phone service that never directs you to a person and eventually hangs-up on you.

If you want to talk to a person:

1) call the [protected] number
2) in the first menu of options choose "new membership"

This will put you on hold to talk to a person. Wait. I repeat wait a long time and eventually you will get a person. They are very nice and in no way responsible for this corporate designed marketing system that encourages you to hang-up and give up. In fact the person on the phone is well aware of the problems with their customer service and will tell you exactly what I told you here for getting in touch with a person.

Good luck and be wary of Blue Mountain Cards.

BlueMountain.com lack of customer service, charges to account

They charge me for a Create & Print account that I do not use, now going on two years that I have paid for this account and not used it at all. Refuse to refund charge and when I finally got a human being they would not help me. Even when speaking to a manager, he would not help and told me I could write to the corporate address. I asked him if a human being would open the letter, read it, and respond to it and he would not commit to that happening.

Too bad, because I have used the ecard account for years and would like to have kept it. They would rather lose all of my business rather than make right on the fraudlent charges.

BlueMountain.com their phone systems sends you in circles

Out of the blue I can not get on because of a "cookie" issue. Based on the most frequently asked questions this must happen to many. My system has not be updated or changed since the last time I used Blue Mountain. Just to humor myself I followed their instructions for troubleshooting a cookie session and results were zip. Just try to get in touch with them. Their phone systems sends you in circles and you can not reach them from their website. I want this years subscription prorated and returned to me. If I receive one more charge on my credit card I will dispute it.

If you are having trouble contacting anyone for support, call blue mountain and select SIGN UP FOR A NEW ACCOUNT. THIS IS THE ONLY WAY TO GET A LIVE PERSON ON THE PHONE.

Yell and scream at them about how angry you are and they will eventually give you a refund. They will tell you that the terms of service say you will be billed and that they can't refund you the money. However, their terms of service also say they will send you an email notifying you of billing. I never got this email. They tried to say it was because it was a new membership but not a renewal, but I screamed and yelled "NO, you give me a refund or I will call back every minute of every hour of every day until you give me the refund that I deserve! YOU NEVER NOTIFIED ME THROUGH EMAIL THAT YOU WERE GOING TO BEGIN BILLING!" They told me to calm down and gave my my refund...but beware...

I initially submitted a dispute with my credit card company over the charge and they fought right back and tried to rebill me after promising a refund. This is my third time calling CapitalOne to dispute the charge.

FIGHT BACK AGAINST THESE CRIMINALS!

Blue Mountain Greeting Cards has a Create & Print feature that doesn't work at all. When I try to contact Customer Service by phone, they say to press # for an operator. Then they say that an operator is not available at this time. In other words, the site has repeatedly failed and there is no one to hold accountable. I understand from reading other complaints that cancelling service is difficult. That will be my next attempt.

I signed up for a one month "free" trial on 11th June 2017. I had to pay $3.99 for a month to get this "free" trial but decided to go ahead anyway. Now (24th june 2017) I have logged on to try to send a card and I am stuck in a loop where it keeps taking me back to the subscription page and asking me to pay again! I have only sent one card to my partner as a practice run. I could have gone and bought a real card for that price. NOT HAPPY! To add insult to injury it is impossible to contact them as there is no email address. As I live in Australia I can't take advantage of their free call either.

BlueMountain.com scam artists

I signed up for a free trial with Blue Mountain and after my first few e-cards, I discovered my friend did not receive all the cards I sent. I decided to cancel my trial membership after 5 days of the trial period. I tried cancelling online but they emailed me says that I cannot do it online because of security reasons. ###! If I can sign on with my credit cards information, what security is there for me to cancel online. What a load of crap from Blue Mountain! I decided to use the card because I had good memories of Blue Mountain cards in the 80s. I used to live and study in Boulder Colorado and am very familiar with the husband and wife company. Now that it belongs to American Greeting, all this slimy business ways is unethical. I live in Malaysia and it is almost impossible for me to make this call to a 1-800 number, besides, I will not be able to use this 1-800 number at all because it is an international call. After numerous emails to them via their online site, still no replies.. So before my trial period expires, and I checked that they have not yet charged my card, I call mu bank to report a fraud from Blue Mountain and have my card reported as stolen. Although physically not stolen, if they attempt to take money from my credit card without my consent after during the trial period, it will be stealing. The credit card is now invalid and they will not be able to charge it! I have made a point to circulate my experience with Blue Mountain to all my friends in Malaysia and Asia so that they will not fall into the trap that Blue Mountain has so carefully laid. Easy to join, impossible to get out ! Yes, let's put unscrupulous thieves out of business!

I was extremely annoyed to find that blue mountain had taken a years subscription from my account without my authorisation. I was completely unaware of any renewal agreement. I asked for the account to be closed immediately and that the money taken would be refunded. They closed the account but ignored the refund. I have been unable to make contact with bluemountain since. They do not reply.
Why are companies allowed to behave in this way? This is nothing short of theft. I would not recommend that anyone deal with this company.

Got charged for a service I did not sigh up for. Did speak with someone at Blue Mountain|. Explained that I did not order this charge of $29".99, they said that they could not reverse it, .

Had to go to the bank, I had to cancel my card because of this fraudulent charge". Get this, they (Blue Mountain) do not ever have a secure funding because the name the person (if at all) used was Jhhk Jhhkkhj and with a fictitious address and phone %|.

I called the number and the police in the town of the fake address".

Go figure, none of this information matched the information that goes with the account # of the card (mine) that was used/. So they do not check, just create and take..

BlueMountain.com email scam

I recieved an email offering a "FREE" greeting card. As I am following the link and conpleting information when it became obvious this was not a "FREE" offer. I aborted the process but not early enough as this company had my name and address. I then started to recieve a statement from BILL ME LATER for a service which I did not order. I continued to recieve billing statements that showed late fees and intertest again for again something I did not agree to.

Two phone calls to BILL ME LATER had no results and after letters to them, their collection agency and the Florida Consumers services, I recieved a letter from BILL ME LATER that I should have read the "fine print".

These companies, Blue Mountain Cards and BILL ME LATER both prey on unsuspecting individuals through the offer of "FREE" items and the billing of unsolicited services which were not agreed to or used.

I will not use the services of any website that uses BILL ME LATER and recommend to all my friends and relatives to "BE AWARE" as well.

I've been a member of Blue Mountain for quite a while -- but several months ago there was an unauthorized charge of 29.99 for membership into their Create/Print program which I would NEVER use! Have been unable to get any response from them other than an acknowledement that I have two accounts -- one of which is the one I'm complaining about. I've requested a refund -- no response. Don't know how to cancel my membership - they have my credit card number and will just go on charging membership fees! What's my recourse?

BlueMountain.com can't contact customer service

Blue Mountain is a good site for sending e-cards, but it is impossible to get in contact with customer service when there is a problem. Isn't that illegal?

I changed my e-mail address on their site from my work e-mail to my home e-mail address. However, I'm still receiving "reminders" from them on my work e-mail address. How I love being reminded of Fathers' Day! NOT! My father passed away many years ago.

In April before my yearly membership expired they began bombarding me with e-mails saying that my membership was ending and indicating there was some problem with renewal (which there wasn't), and then renewed it anyway. Again, there was no way to contact them to straighten it out.

How can a company stay in business when there's no way to resolve problems with customers? There's not even an address to send snail mail to!

I wish I had done a google search BEFORE I agreed to the 14 day trial with Bluemountain.com. After the fact I read all the complaints. The $15.99 just came out of my account this week, when I noticed it said recur payment, I then called my bank because I understood it to not be a MONTHLY $15.99 payment or I would never have done it. Like others on here have said, I've tried calling the toll free # with no one answering, so no solution there. The only answer is to cancel my debit card and get another one which will cost me a lot of time changing my bill pay information with my credible on-line billing companies. This really is frustrating, what a way to make money! I should have checked it out first as I said earlier, what a way to learn. Debbie from Tennessee

I, too, have been trying unsuccessfully to cancel my membership to Blue Mountain e-cards. Two years ago I got the message that if I did not wish to continue with Blue Mountain, all I had to do was cancel within a month which I did. Yet this has been deducted from my credit card account and now it is being taken out of my checking account and I don't know how they got that. This company is getting money from my accounts illegally and I am going to do something about this.

I am surprised that many others are having the same problem with this company. In all my years I have never seen anyone so crooked and something needs to be done to stop these people.

BlueMountain.com charged yearly fee after I already cancelled

I need to cancel my subscription to blue Mountain ecards NOW. I would like to contest the fee for $15.99 that was charged to my bank account on 6/10/09, which caused my account to be overdrawn and fees assessed for that. This very same thing happened to me last year so I sent an email via BM customer service asking for my membership to be cancelled. Here was are a year later and the exact same thing happened, but I already cancelled! There is no phone number to call on the website and this is the only venue I've found to address my situation. I have no idea if BM will even get this, but I plan to file with the BBB if I do not get a response this time.

I just checked my bank account balances online, and discovered ECARDS BLUEMOUNTAIN TELEPHONE PAYMENT for $16.90. I have never used Blue Mountain, and have never authorized any charges. Of course, this charge just showed up, so I'll have to wait until Monday to call.
Surely it must be illegal for a company to charge an individual's account without their permission! I have no idea how they got my number, but $16.90 has been billed to my account!
Companies like this should be investigated for fraud, theft and SHUT DOWN!

BlueMountain.com refund needed from blue mountain cards online

I see I am not the only one to deal with this problem of bluemountain.com. Unbeknownst to me, they charged my paypal account for a renewal that I didn't want. I have exchanged much email with paypal and finally, blue mountain to receive a refund of my 15.99 charge and they refuse to do it. To me this is unethical and fraudulent. when i went to check my account and remove my info so they could no longer charge me, while waiting for the refund, i saw that the paypal option was way way down on the screen and so i thought the checking account and charge accounts were black and couldn't be charged.

at first there was no email address to ask for the refund. finally when i called their phone number they supplied, there was no way to get through to a person.

in googling, i found without looking, at least one other person with my same problem. i am sure there are hundreds and even thousands more that are being bilked by an autho-pay system that they never asked for. i have dealt with this company for years and have had few problems staying for free or as a paid member. of late, they refuse, repeat refuse to work with the customer at all after numerous requests.

i recommend that you as customers stay away and if anyone can help me, i would so appreciate that.

if bluemountain replies they will put a canned letter and not mention how i tried to stop the paypal payment and their system did not allow me to do that. they will not mention no attempt at any time in the last two months to help me, nor how they didn't even have an email address for weeks and how their phone system is only automated so doesn't work for the customer.

YOU CAN GET THROUGH TO A PERSON! You just have to be persistent. When you call, the chief purpose of the automated system is to get you to hang up, but if you choose the "technical help" option and then choose the last option from there ("something else") and THEN choose "agent", you will get through to a person. Getting your refund at that point will still require you to fight tooth and nail and you will have to speak with a manager. Apparently the operators are trained to refuse refunds at all costs. I had to call back twice because at first they gave me only a partial refund, although they had promised me a full refund. These guys are liars and crooks. GET YOUR MONEY BACK! IT CAN BE DONE!

I am having a problem. I am having a free membership which will be due in the next days. but I want to withdraw from this membership. I gave the paypal information but when going there there is no info about bluemountain. And no information neither on bluemountain. So where do I erase or delete the possibility to renew payements to bluemountain? There must be a place for doing this? it is getting on my nerves as I do not want to be member. thank you

I completely sympathize with Ben. I signed up for a free one month trial and was charged after 7 days with their monthly fee of $4.99. I sent an email (because that was what their automated phone service said to do) to have them correct this and after 48 hours (which they claim is their maximum time for a response) no response. I dialed their automated customer service and after going through almost all the menu options I finally got a hold of an agent. He said that I must have signed up for their 7 day free trial. I asked him where on the sign up page does it have a 7-day trial. He told me that he didn't know what I saw on that day but that is what I signed up for and there is no way he could give me a refund. I asked for the supervisor and after a 10 minute hold I was told by this same agent that I will get a refund for the latest charge. I think the bait-and-switch is completely unethical. They are a part of American Greetings card companyor AKA AG Interactive. If that is the kind of business they do I will no longer spend my money even on their greeting cards in the store. I also recommend filing a complaint with bbb.org. They are members:

BlueMountain.com - Billed for free trial offer

I agree wholeheartedly with the last writer regarding Blue Mountain. Same things happened to me. I signed up for a free trial and then received a bill from BillMeLater. I called them told them it was a free trial. They said I did not cancel in time. Tried to contact Blue Mountain, but they don't answer on the phone and there is no contact information via...

BlueMountain.com billing without availability to services

I signed for a free trial with intent of subscribing for a year, gave my cc information, they have charged my card and now I have no access to the services of the cards...they say I am not in the system. I cannot access them through the 800 number no way to access an actual person the the help menu cuts you off...no email contact on the website...they make it impossible to cancel membership without charging. What's up with this company...

I have used Blue Mountain ecards for years. 2 years ago I was charged for a Create & Print account, which I did not use. They told me they could not refund the money, but would cancel the account and I could use it until it expired. This year I got hit for another $20.00 and they refuse to refund it. Even though I have never used the Create & Print account, they will not make this right. I have cancelled all my accounts with them, and have paid for 2 years of service that I have not used.

Also, it took forever to finally get a real live person on the phone, and they would not help me and told me there was no one else at the company who would help me. They gave me an address to write to, but would not confirm that someone actually opened the letter and read it.

Poor, poor, poor customer service from a company that I have been satisfied with for many years. Too bad. Pass it along to be careful, because they will hit you with charges!

I signed up with BlueMountain years ago and for a while enjoyed
free cards sent to many friends. Then BlueMountain asked for a
modest fee, which I gladly paid but from then on it became more
and more difficult to send cards. In fact I can no longer seem to
send any. I choose a card and try to fill out everything but can not
seem to complete the deal. Nevertheless, in my last Visa bill,
BlueMountain charged me $15.99! I called the number listed
next to the charge but was informed that I must make my
complaint on line. That's what I'm doing. I want to cancel
my subscription and I want my money back! If I do not hear
from you I will try to cancel the charge with my credit company.

There is no way to contact Blue Mountain if you've paid for a subscription but you can't access the service even after repeatedly entering your email address and your ID. This is infuriating. The HELP section is no help at all. What are you supposed to do if you can't access the service. There is no phone number, no email address, NOTHING. This company is a big scam. They charge for service that isn 't delivered.

NOT RECOMMENDED. Non-Existent Customer Service. Costly Billing Errors.

A very unfortunate experience. I have been billed $4.99 every month from Blue Mountain, after cancelling my membership within the trial period, and several times thereafter. Blue Mountain maintains I have no membership, yet they continue billing me monthly. Their systems and customer service seem incapable of solving the most routine billing errors.

My experience has been that Blue Mountain Customer Service is non-existent on their phone line (note that it is not possible to speak to a representative) and valueless via their e-mail / website.

I strongly urge you to find another e-card provider before you find yourselves in an inconvenient billing dispute.

I'll start at this site first to update it to most recent experience for 2011. I have NEVER in my 8 years of online purchasing experienced such a horrific customer/member website. After choosing a cute Mothers Day card, I purchased it with my credit card agreeing to the trial time allotted. Then I found an error and went to get the phone number to talk to a customer service rep. The phone as well as the website brings you IN CIRCLES call this number and the number says go to our website and that is why I am leaving this as a warning. I had to get my bank involved and they got the run around. American Greetings the parent company is just as bad. I see on some complaints Blue Mountain online greeting cards is a sham. Take HEED of this an try to get a hold of them FIRST. You will leave this site vowing never to go back. From another complaint listing- This is the phone number to call [protected] at every prompt yell AGENT but I got the American Greetings headquarters number by a good soul posting it online via google ask to speak to a Blue Mountain rep. who had an extension there. Thankfully it was a good phone number because good Luck not getting the run around at the American Greetings webpage also.

I would love to have a professional relationship with Blue Mountain. Their cards are excellent. But they'll have to make their customer service easy to access before I go near them with my credit card again. Lesson learned THE HARD WAY.

Bank of America Mortgage FEIWELL & HANNOY Bank of America did not release our mortgage after birng paid thus an illegal suite Indianapolis, Indiana

A couple of years ago my wife and I were relocated to Fl. from Indianapolis for employment. We owned a home in Marion County we succesfully sold and closed on it on 01-06-2010. We just recently recieved notification of a law suite filed on [protected] for Foreclosure on the home we already sold. Apparently the mortgage company never released the mortgage after being paid, I have detailed documented proof the mortgage company recieved wired funds from the closing. We found this out when I had been turned down on several employment opportunities, with no explaination so I initiated a background check on the both us and found our credit had taken a terrible decline, due to mortgage payments not being paid for several months. I am having a difficult time in getting this resolved, I have sent emails followed by documentation to the mortgage company, all 3 credit bureaus, even an attny firm, to my dismay I have had no response with the exception of attorney's demanding payment to take the case on. I have been out of work for 30 months and we have exhausted our nest egg. and squeeking by, we don't have the funds to retain an attorney. I know you can't give legal advise, but there is a lot at stake here including the unknowingly poor people who bought our home and reside there. They could be affected as well. What do we do?

Members enjoy unlimited access to all e-cards, printable cards, and can schedule card deliveries up to a year in advance. These features are convenient for those who plan ahead for special occasions.

Environmental Impact and Sustainability

As an e-card service, BlueMountain.com helps reduce paper waste associated with traditional cards, which is a positive for the environment.

Corporate and Social Responsibility Initiatives
