Tiger Direct and Reservation Rewards scam.
DO NOT click OK
Wednesday, March 5, 2008 by I.R. Brainiac | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
Call me naive and foolish but I recently made my first 2 online purchases.A monitor from Office Max..and a vid card from Tiger Direct.
The purchase process for the vid card ends with a popup(allowed by TD),that ask you if you want to get 15$ off you next TD purchase...I was leary but clicked ok.
It only asked for my email,NEVER any CC info.Tiger Direct automatically gave them that and I was signed up without knowing it for a 12$ a month charge.(dumb me) 
Google Reservation Rewards and you get a slew of people royally pissed about this shit.And some list of their 'partners'.
A legit charge didnt clear because of this so now I gotta fix that,dispute the charge,cancel TD and RR accounts and get a new card(I dont trust either of them not to abuse it further).
Buyer beware.

Glad I only use newegg.com .... I listened to the folks on other postings...these deceptive practices really stink. They should be reported and Posts made on places like Cnet.com.
Might change TD's business practices if enough folks do it...like on eBay.
