Value Plus
Reviews and Complaints

Thank you all for this website and all those who made comments about valueplusonline. I just was called by valueplusonline. And they sounded a little pushy so I asked them where could I look them up online to find out more about there company. When I asked they gave me the website. After I started searching I couldn't find it but I did find you all. He tried to say that everything on here was a lie and that you all made this stuff up. Yeah Okay I though to myself. What really gave it away for him was the multitude of individuals who left comments. If it had of just been one or two I would of probably thought more aobut it. Thank you for saving me from a headache. Continue to do what you all do and I will also do the same. I wish you could of heard him stuttering as I read off to him your comments. LOL One for the good guys. My only complaint will be they lie and they were real rude to me on the phone and would not allow me to get off with hanging up in there face after I tried to let them down nicely. They basically demand a reason for me not accepting there offer. The way the got my infromation is from ordering a book from one of those infomercials about a erbal book that was supposed to be free and you only pay shipping and handle. I still have not been charged the shipment of the two books. Needless to say I am going to cancel my order and post the name of the company that gave them my information as soon as I find out who they are.

i too have been scammed by WC Value Plus. What ###!

Ok, so beware of this scam, i do not know how they got my bank card info, and could confirm it when i asked questions about it, so i agreed to get this nice deal with a free gas card, ok no gas card, no nothing, so i called my bank and just had them cancel my bank card and i am getting a new one issued. Luckily i only had the charge of $1.00 on my account, and this did not get out of hand. Please beware of this scam and others like it, because this one charge also came with another charge from AP9TODAYSESCAPES on my account too!

I recently ordered something I saw on TV - so I dealt the # to place order abt 6/6/07. After I placed it - they wouldn't stop offering me stuff to try on a trial basis and this ValuePlusOnline was one - and I said yes. It gave a 30 day trial period.

Just received the letter to day on it. Went to websites to get $25 gift card. It is a form to request another form which will take 8 10 wks to get to you - which I think after you filled out that form will take another 8-10 weeks to get to you. So thats a 5 month total. - also they give a $5 gas rebate for each month and that takes 6 -8 wks to get back to you with a check. Then they have the grocery coupons - which you mail them a form and the send the code back to you in about 8-10 wks (no extra money required).

Seems to be a lot of form mailing and waiting for additional info or product. On the website is some deals if they're legit - $25 gift cards from Target, Walmart and some other stores - you pay $20 for it - no shipping or handling. - So it might be a SCAM - didn't see a BBB emblem on their site - Did see a veri sign for ordering those gift cards but that's not a secure sign of trust either.

I took this as a legitimate business, when I called Nationalvaluenetwork.com, however nothing they had promised me has panned out. I signed up for a trial membership to valueplusonline.com, and www.homeplayonline.com for 1.99 and I was to receive a 25$ gift card in return, however when I searched for the website to claim it, all that came up were other customers complaints that they also had been scammed. This is a big time scam and not worth even calling.

I went to ValuePlusOnline.com/open/form/gc after I had purchased some products over the phone. This company Value + says to me after a one dollar fee, they will give me two 25$ gift cards for a free trial up to 14 days to try their products. Which these products were coupons and discounts off purchases for companies around the world. After the 14 day trial they would charge my credit card 14.95$ a month, if not canceled. Well, I canceled and couldn't believe how easy it was. No questions why. Just called the number and told them I would like to cancel and what sounded like a 12 year old girl on the the other line, says to me ok ! and that was it. Well I haven't seen any other charges to my account yet! But where's mt 25$ gift card to walmart and my other 25$ gas card? Who knows, there's no such website to claim them. So much for www.valueplusonline.com!

Rec'd letter, went online and used p.w.supplied. Reply said no 404 found, but the p.w. given was 406. I searched and to no avail. I will call the co. and hope for fulfillment of offerof $50 gift cards(total).

The go duster is a rip off.

Iam still waiting for my $25. gift card
Sincerely

The infomercials should receive some wrath, also. They made it about impossible to decline this offer. I felt very pressured and angry, however, I wanted to "Go Duster". Again, I guess things should not be ordered from the infomercials. People should not to put up with this kind of high pressure scams!

I'm another person that ordered a product over the phone and was promised a $25 walmart gift card but could not access the website.

Live and learn!

I have yet to see my $25.00 gift card as well and have tried numerous times to address the situation but as stated by other people NO SUCH WEBSITE and my credit card is being charged $14.95 a month!

Thank you for the free $25 gift card that you send me in the mail!

I was offered this ValuePlus as a back end sales offer during my purchase of the Ab Rocket. I distinctly recall saying, "No!" to this offer. Yet my account is charged? There method of sales is a scam. ValuePlus is a scam as far as I'm concerned. And the Ab Rocket is a piece of junk which I sent back immediately. J. Adams

Essentials for home...has nothing to do with original product ordered from tv ad :(

Essentialsforhome scam!

I got called for a free $25 gift card for walmart and only have to pay $1.00 and they charged my moms card $299.00 i told them im only 16 over and over again and now i have to work hard to pay her back every dime :( i now owe her $1, 200.00 thanx to them stupid scammers and my mom told me it was ok to do it :(

I just got a call regarding a similar offer. From what I have been reading it seems like this is bad news. I agreed to be sent the offer in the mail. Does this automatically mean that I agreed to be charged these monthly fees as well?

NO COMMENT!

Thank You! All of you just saved me over 30 dollars.I just recieved a letter today saying to go to this website www.valueplusonline.com/open/form/gc so that I could claim my 25.00 gift card, well where is it at?And this so called company better credit my hard earned money back to my account! And if they want to cause any problems , go ahead, I will see them in court.Beware there is another so called company called Essentials for home that offers the same deal "25.00 dollar gift card" well it is just another scam.

I ordered items from an Info mertial and this ValuePlus was offered as a 14 day trial. Cost $1.00 each for two offers. Then after the trial period cost of $19.95 each month. Well the papers took 13 days to arrive. I called the number on the information sheet and canceled the membership. What kind of scam is this? I didn't even get a chance to try it and it was already on my Credit card. I filed a complaint with my Card holder and Value Plus did credit my account the same day that I spoke with them. It seems to be taken care of. The rep on the phone from ValuePlus told me that I could still get my $25.00 gas card but I can't find any place to download any forms etc. to get the gift offered. I tried www.valueplusonline.com/gcform.html like I was told to do. But all I get is this complaint page. The welcome form says to call [protected] to receive the Gift Card Form and other materials by mail. But I'm done with them. They can keep their gift. Beware or extra offers over the phone when ordering anything. If it sounds to good to be true it probably is!

I also tried to claim my $25.00 gift card,and it won't even let me down load the form. I'm calling them cuz I'll be damn if their gonna charge to my acct. Every month. Thanks for the notice and for others who have the same problem.

Hello (name) My name is John Smith and I am calling from Quality Resources because you recently purchased something from one of our marketing partners and this call may be recorded for quality and security purposes and I will be brief. The reason we are calling today is just to let you know as a preferred customer you’re receiving $50 dollars in gasoline vouchers in the mail. These are free and good for one year and you can buy your gas anywhere in the U.S. Now these should arrive in about 2 weeks so please keep an eye out for them, in the same envelope we’re sending the first 30 days of Budget Savers for only $1 dollar. It’s a brand new saving program that will save you money at a couple hundred stores like Home Depot, Target and Best Buy also restaurants like Chili’s, Red Lobster and McDonald’s. This is something we only send to preferred customers so there is no obligation to keep it and nothing to send back. Even if your not interested, make sure you don’t throw away the gas vouchers, the $50 dollars in gasoline vouchers is our way of saying thank you for being a preferred customer.

Remember the 30 day trial is only $1 dollar. It gives you full use of all the discounts. If you decide to stay a member after the first 30 days your benefits would extend automatically for just $24.95 a month again that’s only if you decide to stay a member after the first 30 days. It would be charged to your (Visa/Master Card/ American Express) ending in (last four digits). You can call and cancel anytime, on the toll free number that’s located on the front page. Either way you keep your $50 dollars in gasoline vouchers as a thank you. You still live in (city/state) correct?

Great, before I transfer you to our verification department to read your address back to you and to verify I did my job correctly, do you have any questions? When I transfer you, you’re going to hear a click. It may sound like I am hanging up. I’M NOT! It’s very important that you hold so you don’t get the same call again, ok? Enjoy your $50 dollars in gas vouchers, please hold.

TCPA=Always Attempt / TOL=we will add you to our internal do not call list.
That’s fine Mr. / Mrs. (last name); if you have any questions call [protected]. We are not calling from Visa/Master Card or American Express; we are a company calling you with a discounted offer. Have a nice day.

This is the script they read to you, they changed their name from Value Plus to Budget Savers but its the same stuff.
www.valueplusonline.com
www.budgetsaversonline.com

How it works is you agree to the dollar for 30 days and then get transferred and they up sell you two other packages. They are trial periods.
$1.00 - Budget Savers goes to $19.95/$24.95
$9.99 - Health Package goes to $49.95
$1.99 - Entertainment goes to $ 19.99 (i think)

This sales script is a proven script to make people say yes even when they dont want to, spread the word.

UPDATE: Well... I called my back to let them know of the charges and then called each of the two companies to refund my money. Both of them claimed that I had signed up for a 30 day trial period to which I told them no, I didn't. I then asked if they would refund the charges already made to my account and both of them agreed they would. I have since seen the refunds come across my account so, for the time being, they made good. I will be continuing to watch this account to make sure that they do not put any charges on it in the future.

UPDATE: I just got two charges from this company and one of its partners on my cards... One is directly from Value Plus for $1 and the other is from a place called AMA Health Options for $9.95. Looks like these guys are in for it...

Some other research has turned up that most of their companies come out of Minnesota or Las Vegas. Also, if you call them ASK them to verify your address before verifying yours (A mistake I made). It turns out that for most people they actually have records that are 3+ years old and in some cases don't have them at all!

I will keep this site up-to-date with my dealings... I hope others will see this and not get duped in.

These guys are crazy. While on the phone I even told them about this review, that they are a scam, and they insisted that they have been in business for 15 years and are legit. I didn't divulge any info other than the casual "yes, that is my mailing address" and "yes, that is my birthday". Now will also be watching my bank account like a hawk. Heaven help them if they charge me anything... my lawyers will have a field day with this.
