I am writing to complain about shoppers discount, I have no idea who they are and i have never knowingly signed up for any of there services. I called my credit card on several occassions and they stated that they had contacted the company several times but they are still taking ten pounds per months out of my account for no reason what so ever. They have taken ten pounds every months since January 2012 . I only have statements up to that date in front of me but it could be longer then that. I want them to stop immediately. My account shows the following details "SHOPPERDISC.CO.UK [protected] CH". I also would like all the money they have taken refunded. Please advise how to move forwards.

Yours sincerely

Martha Sakulku

This is my second complaint ... the first with Easy Saver (Purchase Saver) where a company charged my account for 8 months for $14.95!

Now this Group (Shoppers Discount) has been deducting $12.00 for many months.

All the above was because I ordered Pro Flowers and Cherry Moon! Shame on them.

I checked out a advertisement on facebook which said I could get a free nfl jersey. Well, I didn't complete anything but gave them my phone number now I get 2 text messages a day costing me $2 a pop trying to get my information. I tried calling someone and got a voicemail like I was calling my friend not a business. I called the real company they had no information about me being a member. It's a sam don't fall for it.

I paid for a hotel on line Premier Travel inn. The option came up to recieve a £10 cash back if I clicked on the message which I did. I received a cheque however I then noticed a £10.00 payment had automatically come out of my account.
This has happened for 3 months. I have not set up any direct debit to authorise any payment or authorise anyone to do this

The following reference is appearing on my account SHOPPERDISCOUNTS.CCD 8258 with a debited amount of £8. I have called the bank and they cannot stop the payment. I am not aware that I have authorised this and need help stopping it and ideally getting a refund as this has been happening for some months.

Shoppers discount took an unauthorized payment of £10- out of my account. This was done via ebookers. I booked a flight with ebookers on line and was offered £10 cash back from shoppers discount. Instead of receiving £10- I have been charged £10-. I am surprised ebookers is involved in this scam.

A monthly charge for nothing. Apparently some other site I had done business with had forwarded my information in violation of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act of 1999. Why are they allowed to get away with this? Where's the FTC? So even if you catch the first violation on your credit card it is still not worth trying to recover that amount. How much do they make doing this. And who is the merchant that allowed this to be set up?

Shoppers Discount get credit card information from various merchants where purchasing is done by Internet. We ordered from JC Whitney and ended up with a $12/month membership with Shoppers Discount without our knowledge. Now we have to file disputes, cancel credit cards and use our valuable time to get this corrected. BEWARE!

When buying online for movie tickets- pop up stating coupon for future tickets. Replying yes- takes you automatically to Shopper Discount site. Its very confusing, fooling you to sign up. They then charge $12.00 month. You never receive any conformation from them so you have a opportuinity to cancel.

I did not see anything in their site that threr would be a charge for the service. All I did at their site was to compare prices. Never did get a comparison, just a promise that they would guarantee best price. They have charged my Visa account $12.00. An unwelcome surprise.

I also have been scammed from the shopper's discount company. When I called them they said I have singed up with them through www.wirefly.com
and they received my credit card/billing information from wirefly and Be careful when you shop at www.wirefly.com.

They are charging $12.00 per month for a service that I did not ask for or want to use on my Visa debit card. Can not get hold of the company to stop the charges every month.

I found a charge on my bank card for $12 and immediately had no idea what it was for but it showed as Shoppers Discounts, I then performed and Internet search on the Company and found many other complaints with the same $12 charge on credit cards.

Please let me know how to get rid of these charges so that i can pass it on to others who are afftedted by this Surcharge.

I discoverd today that Shoppers Discount has been charging me $12.00 for 4 months without my authorization. I was told by their associate that I will receive a full refund, but I will believe it when I see it in my bank account. You can guarantee if they don't refund me I will become their worst nightmare! Please beware this company is a SCAM!

I bought two rail tickets from thetrainline.com as I usually do . This time this company Shoppers discount suggested to register with them so I can get a £10 discount with my next buy, which I did. But now I realised instead of what they promised they have started deducting £10 everymoth from my credit card account. I dont have a clue what it is all about. Please be careful future users. In the mean time I will try and see how I can stop my draining of fund. Wish me luck

i have just discovered shoppers discount have have been taking £10 a month from my credit card for quite some time.
how they justify this as some sort of service is beyond belief.
they obtained my credit card details by underhand means and are stealing- yes stealing from my account.
i am not a frequent internet shopper, and would never sign up to anyone taking money from my account for any vouchers.
i am awaiting a response from this company and my bank- Halifax.
how can any bank allow this company to start taking money from my account without my knowledge ?
