This review was chosen algorithmically as the most valued customer feedback.

TLG-GreatFun charged $10.99 to my credit card without my notice as a membership, which I never subscribed. This is totally ripoff my money by charging to my card. I called them regarding this, they are saying I subscribed to their membership after buying a air ticket from priceline.com. I never subscribed to their membership after buying ticket from priceline.com, which is totally baseless. Still worrying that they will charge again. I think this is fault with priceline.com privacy policies by selling their customer card information to third parties like TLG-GreatFun without customers consent.

Same thing..i just found out the charges today..they been charging me for almost 2 years now. I already file a dispute to my credit card for unauthorized charges. I don't even remember this charges or authorize this monthly occurring charges. I thought this one of my installment charges of my phone so i don't pay attention of it. This is a rip off and how many people they victimized.

I just got off the phone with them to cancel my membership after my wife noticed this week an expense of $16.99 every month for "TLG*SHOPPER" since 2017 (They got almost $600 out of me since then). By asking them questions about my account, they told me that I signed up as a member with them through a purchase that I made with Spirit Airlines. If anybody is wondering what is the cause of them being charged by this place, this could be it. Here is the number that I called to get a hold of them: [protected]
They said they cancelled me account today and they gave me a cancellation number. I plan on updating this post sometime in the next year to share if they did in fact cancel my account and stop charging me. I hope this helps anybody else getting money taken from them by this company.

I have similar problem. BOTH TLGShopper and TLGFN charged my acct $16.99 on same day. I never authorized it. I spoke w/my bank to stop this in the future. Tried to contact TLG online to unsubscribe or stop it, whatever. No luck. [censored]!

I have been charged 16.99 for the past two years and wasn't aware of this until today when I received a bill on a credit card that is no longer in use. I called the company and they say I signed up for a $1 trial when I bought an airline ticket. This never happened. However, they have request a refund for the past 4 months so $67 will be credited back to my credit card. So generous.

TLG is charging my credit card without authorization $16.99 every month. I called them 3 months ago and asked them to stop charging and still doing doing same thing. They have to stop and need to payback all.

Absolute Garbage company! I cancelled before my trial period and was given a confirmation # they have continually charged my card since. When I called they stated maybe I cancelled the wrong thing. Are you kidding me? No I cancelled you! Now I will continue to let any one, and everyone know what a terrible company this is! Complete Garbage and thieves!

Hi my name is Tisha Campbell and I would like to cancel my membership with you guys.

When I tried to log-in, it said that you didn't have my email on file, but you taking money out of my bank account.

I would love it if you can look up this information and take me off your membership. I will be calling you in the morning to speak to one of your representatives. I also don't understand how you are charging me for this membership and I didn't get any papers, catalogs, etc. in the mail.

Both TLG Great FN and TLG Shopper withdrew from my account $16.99 not once, not twice but three times in less than 14 days. After contacting them by phone and advising them that they were being recorded and a copy of the phone conversation was being sent to the US Attorneys office along with a copy of the tape to the BBB... they agreed to cancel my subscription and re-emburse me for the money taken out of my account. There was others things said but the bottom line is that companies like this one prey on people who are in need and are not computer savvy. At first they wanted me to eat the cost... but again I am not giving my money away that easily. Specially since I'm retired living on a fix income... So people don't let a company like TLG bully you around... you have rights too...

Thanks for all the alerts. I started getting concerned and this site confirmed my decision to call my credit card company. Here is what I think they are doing, in my case. They called me after I ordered some sunglasses from a TV commercial. They wanted to sign me up for discount shopper’s membership package. They would send the information in the mail (charge my card $1) and for just looking it over I would get a $100 voucher that I can keep even if I cancel the membership package within 14 days. It's been almost 2 weeks and no information has come. I believe they intentionally delay the shipment so that the 14 day trial period elapses and they start charging your card, hoping you don't dispute. I have called my credit card company who has reversed the $1 charge and flagged all future attempts from TLG Shopper.

We got hit when my husband bought my daughter some concert tickets. They offered a $25 refund for the ticket which we thought we were going to get through Ticketmaster. Turns out it was through a site called greatfunsite [protected]). Membership was put in daughter's name, but charged to my husband's credit card. We were told we had 30 days to cancel which should be ample time to process the rebate and send the check. We NEVER received the rebate information. My daughter called to cancel the subscription telling them we no longer cared if we got any rebate and was told she had to do it online. She set up an account, cancelled the subscription and received not 1 but 2 cancellation confirmations. Today I discovered a charge for TLG Shopper on my husband's card. I searched and found this phone #[protected]. I called them very angry because the price was the same $16.99 we were told greatfunsite would charge if we had chosen to continuation the subscription. I was told that greatfunsite & tlg shopper were signed up for at the same time (uh NO) and that they saw greatfunsite had been cancelled but not them (um you can't cancel something you never signed up for & have received nothing from so you don't even know they exist!). The guy gave me a cancellation number and said we should have a refund in 7-10 days. I told him that next month I better NOT find another company they've linked with these others or I'd be calling my bank to start fraud proceedings. Now it's wait and see, but I hope I'm done with them. What a SCAM!

We signed up with the hope of getting discounts while traveling across the country. Other than the $1 charge for using the service for a 30-day travel period, i got NOTHING in my emails telling me about how to take advantage of the "service". Fortunately, I was able to use the 800 number on my bank statement to cancel in time. Now, all I have to do is hope they don't ding me anyway.

I absolutely agree with these complaints, this is seriously messed up and this "TLG Shopper's Advantage" bull**** needs to stop immediately. I bought a concert ticket via ticketmaster and was signed up for this program, and called to cancel, which was confirmed, but they have still been charging me for the past 5 months. I am going to have this resolved immediately, as I just found out.

I just happened to find out that my credit card was being charged without my permission for the last 29 months @ $15.00 monthly. which I had never seen or heard of or had an encounter with during the process of going through my mail. So please be aware of these kind of Internet related frauds as a third party affiliation with some of the well known websites like for example Price line.com, Big Island club, Travelocity and or doing any kind of online purchase related to travel or any other Entertainment industry.TLG aka GREAT FUN they are ripping off people by stating that consumers are authorizing them by enrolling into becoming a member.Its very common that those famous websites to sell your private information to their affiliated third party websites.Most of the time that is not the case because of these unknown authorised charges by the time you find out its too late.they already taken slowly a big chunk of money in small amounts on a monthly basis.

Oh yes...I JUST NOW saw this on my bank statement. Signed up for the 'great fun' discount club and all of a sudden these people TLG SHOPPER are charging me the exact same amount. Great Fun says they no nothing about the company but they give you their phone number. TLG says they know nothing about 'great fun' except that they run a discount program as well..through live.nation.com is where I got scammed. soooo, when someone offers you rebate after purchasing something, BEWARE! I called them both and they say a refund is on the way...got the confirmation numbers and names, so we'll see how long this takes. [protected] to get rid of TLG shopper transactions. Make sure you have the statement in front of you so you can give them your number they charge this to.

We need to contact Better Bussines B. and REPORT this people they will DO something about this demn charges on Bank Accounts and if necesary take Legal Action against them too there is free legal assistance at the Courts for Fishy Bussines, and you MUST check your Bank Account Activity every Day on line, your money is more important than your Email. the Fist thing I do when I turn on my computer is Checking on my Hard Earned Money, It's safe, and if I need to contact someone about fishy charges I get to it rigth away! YOU need to let people know you Are watching your money! Be VERY FIRM AND DEMAND YOUR MONEY BACK INTO YOUR ACCOUNT AND ASK FOR CANCELATION #S and them you want your name Removed from their System! IT WORKS.

I was scammed by TLG Shopper also. Got hit on my credit card 12.99 per month for several months. Called TLG then the card company. TLG agreed to pay back 2 payments then the bank is fowarding it to their "resolutions dept." This starts from some of the junk mail slipped in with your credit card bill that offers you a Wal Mart gift card. And I never signed up or returned any of it. It's a shame that a credit card company allows these little "fly by nights" to hitch a ride on their monthly bills. I will likely be in touch with the Fed. Trade Comm. I'm not as fortunate as the one in a previous complaint that's a formal Marine Ninja. All I know is a little 2 by 4. I'd love to have a "fave to face" with TLG.

CALL 1.877.346.8803. It seems to have worked. You don't have to have your account number, they can find it with your name and address. He was even able to tell me how this happened...some phone call at a Days Inn that my husband took...probably when he was asleep when he'll agree to anything..lol. I have a confirmation number and agreed to a four month refund (although this has been going on 9 months apparently) I will definately be watching my bank account and will keep the confirmation number as someone suggested. Thanks to all for the discussion thread so I knew what to do and how to get this resolved!

I have never heard of this company before, ever, in my life! And have no idea how they got my info to charge me. I have no idea how far back this goes. I only came about finding it because, I went to make a deposit into my account and they told me my account was closed (without my knowledge) due to an overdraft, I never repaid... Welll, I never knew about the overdraft, until this morning... PNC looked up the overdraft, and discovered that it was due to a BS chrage I never agreed to, for $19.95... So needless to say my account is frozen and Im in jeopordy of losing my account and screwing up my credit drastically because of this! VERY VERY VERY ANNOYED!

Thank you guys so very much for this information! I just noticed charges for this on my card. They said I signed-up when making a reservation through Budget. The supervisor did not give me any greif and immediately processed the refund. They had been charging my card TWICE a month for both the "Traveler's Advantage" and "Shopper's Advantage" programs.
