Just a warning to all my friends and people who might read this. While recently reviewing my bank records, I found a charge for "PURCHASE MADE ON 02/23/08 AT RESERVATION REWARDS 800-7327031 CT" and a $10 charge. I'm pretty sure I've seen this on my bank statements before, but didn't think much of it, but this time I decided to look into it because it was still unfamiliar. I found out that this is fact a widely known and ongoing scam that is being run thru the interweb. Here is a site that gives some advice on how to deal with them. I shall be doing this tomorrow. Just a little note to tell you all to check your bank statements.
This has been a public service announcement from Swampy.

Turns out these people respond to phone calls at 11pm. I will theoretically receive a refund for my 9 @#$%ing month enrollment in their scam within 3-5 business days. $90 will be nice to get back.
Wow. That's horrific, and at the same time completely brilliant. It would be nice to know how they got your credit card info though; was it a travel site like the guy you linked to?
mine was actually a purchase from Fandango.com. i asked them when I called and unenrolled and demanded my money back. I found out that they have some sort of deal with the shopping cart programs, where they can lift your card # from them.

Thank you for your time and effort, however I have NO wish to have any further dealings with you in the future. Please consider our association at an end. My money has been refunded because I was charged for a service that I never signed up for, was never asked to confirm, and never used.
