I lived in NJ and was a Lifetime member since the early 90s. After paying in full (over $500), i received the promised merchandise..my name on the apron..the whole 9 yards. All good.

I moved. When I called to change my address, they said they couldn't find me in their system. SO much for lifetime membership

Cooking Club of America / Scout.com — lifetime membership???

I became a Lifetime member of the Cooking Club of America in July of 2000. It is very shameful that a company would go out of business and not inform their loyal members who have paid a fortune to get what was promised! I used to love getting the magazines, books, and products to test. You can't tell me that there isn't a need for that anymore! I just called the number on the back of my membership card and it said that since I called the number it was forwarding me to someone else to get a $100 retail credit or refund or something. When someone actually answered and said how can I help you today I hung up. I don't know if it is a scam or not. They didn't say a company name when they answered. It sounded like a call center in another country. Who knows, maybe the company is trying to make restitution to its members, but I doubt it after all of this time! The website doesn't exist, nor does the one some people have complained that their info was transferred to. Scout.com is now a sports site.

Cooking Club of America / Scout.com — lifetime membership

I joined this club and paid hundreds of dollars. I never received the test items as promised. My magazine just stopped coming. Several years ago. I want my money money I paid back!! This is outrageous just scam people out of our hard earned money. The cheap made in China pots and pans you sent was not worth $300!! You need to refund everyone who joined this sorry [censored] club! I will be filing a complaint with my lical AG to get my money back.

Cooking Club of America / Scout.com — life time membership

I have been a life time member since 03/2011 ([protected]) and I have been trying to gain access to website and membership benefits to find it no longer exist. I was never notified about any change to the company or my membership. I expected to be able to log in and still have access to my life time membership activities. I have not heard from this company in a long period of time no emails or magaines received for the last couple of year.

Cooking Club of America / Scout.com — cooking club of america lifetime membership/ not honored!

Lifetime acct# [protected], I haven't heard from or been able to contact since my last invoice dated 9/02/14. Lifetime membership was paid in complete many years prior. magazines just stopped and no way to contact nor have ever received any letter or notice of sale or change of name. I would prefer all my dues paid back . I am only 53 y/o and having been a lifetime member for many years I can say I expect to live another 30 years so that membership would have certainly been WELL used in our current day of culinary inventions being offered to the general public. Which in all reality is EXACTLY what we ALL were PROMISED if we purchased the lifetime membership.

Cooking Club of America / Scout.com — lifetime membership not being honored

I paid a lot of money to this company to be a lifetime member and have not received anything from them for years. I can not find a valid website and their phone number does not work. There was never any notice from them about going out of business. Do we lifetime members have any recourse to recoup our losses? My lifetime membership # is [protected].
Thank you,

Cooking Club of America / Scout.com — membership

I paid for lifetime membership.
I received the pots/pans but never received any more magazines or emails.
I really enjoyed the magazines, I even received a couple of testing items. After I paid for the membership, a month or so later all contact stopped I am not sure why. I can't even find the website to sign in. I started a new job and let it go, but now I am on a leave and wanted to continue learning cooking skills... Are they still in business?

What happened?

Where did they go? My number is [protected]. I paid my membership and received my pots and lids (which weren't very good). I haven't received any thing since 2009 when they asked for more money. I was promised products for testing that I could keep and regular subscription to a "wonderful" cooking magazine. I think we should all receive our money back for not fulfilling their commitment.

I too am a lifetime member of cooking club of America. I have not received anything since 2009 either. I came across my membership folder this morning and tried to contact them. The number now belongs to some scam auto club. I too paid a lot of money for a so called lifetime membership. I too was told I would receive test products. As well as my monthly magazines. As for the pots and pans they were cheap and everything I cooked in the easily burnt. Nothing of quality that is for sure. Certainly not worth the $300 that we paid for the membership. I want something to be done because this organization got a lot of money from people and what did we get but empty promises? I still have my entire Welcome Kit if that tells you anything!! Pots and pans are long gone!

Cooking Club of America / Scout.com — cooking club of america life member

I paid an outrageous up front fee to receive their magazine and "life member gifts and benefits" which including trial of different items and all I had to do is comment and give my opinions and the items for free for me to keep. After paying for life-time membership I no longer received items to try and after a few months stopped receiving their magazine, very disappointed. What happened to this company anyway? Just another scam i've heard!!!

Cooking Club of America / Scout.com — lifetime membership, not receiving services for years

I am a life member of the cooking club of america (since 2006). I received 6 magazines a year, then they reduced them to just quarterly. They might have even then reduced them to 3 times a year. I haven't seen one since fall of 2014. (probably about the time I didn't "upgrade" my life-time membership to a "platinum lifetime membership" for another couple hundred dollars!!!) I have been busy with a young/active family and hadn't realized they had stopped coming for a while. Then I figured it was too late, but like others have said, based on the amount of complaints, maybe there is something to be done. I really think they should refund "life members" if they aren't going to stay in business, or whatever it is they have done to make it impossible to find/communicate with them.
My life member # is [protected]
My name is caroline mangum (originally received life membership under maiden name; I was able to update it with them after marrying)
