BUYERS BE WARE...THIS IS A SCAM!
We were promised a trip for an all-inclusive Mexican Getaway for 4 nights in Cancun Mexico or 6 nights in Puerto Vallarta Mexico.

We were required to give them a 238.00 dollar cashiers Check. [protected]).

We received a certificate for the trip but that was it. They haven't responded to our multiple attempts for correspondence on how we can resolve this issue.

It is an insidious attempt to appeal to my frugality. I'm ticked! To get the promised $100 in gas vouchers, it will cost $29.95 for processing fee (sent by registered mail via a cashier's check). Then, I will have to save all reciepts in gas, enter them into the online program as I purchase them (probably from a certain gas company). When it reaches $150-- within one month, I submit all the receipts with other downloaded forms and hope they mail me the voucher. The voucher will be for $20 per month and I can submit until I reach the promised $100. Who knows what surcharge I will have to include each time I submit the $150 worth of gas receipts.
And that's just for the free gas. As for the travel rewards, They did not send the certificate until nearly 60 days after I submitted the necessary information (plus the $9.95 money order and $5.59 certified mail cost). I didn't look at it immediately, and now less than 60 days later, I realize that the issue date was BEFORE I received it, AND I have to send it in before the issue date. TOTALLY A SCAM!

I've had it with this ridiculous hoop-jumping. I'm cutting my losses, pretending I had a fun date going to the sales presentation, and not falling for anything "free" again. Direct Select Rewards is a scam.

we did the same thing. Tried numerous times to collect on our PROMISED trip. No returned calls, always an answering service with the promise of a returned call. I mo. later NO CALL.
