EBates Where's My Big Fat Check? Internet

From my experience, EBATES.COM is engaging in consumer fraud by making Internet and TV promises that they do not keep. Here is my experience:

I opened a new account in November with the EBATES promise that, if I spent $50, I would get a $10 Target gift card. I spent $68 on a bouquet for a hospitalized friend. The purchase never registered with EBATES, so I contacted them twice before they put $10.56 in my account.

I never received the promised TARGET gift card.

I tried EBATES again, making purchases through the site at FIVE stores listed on their website for which the site created Tracking tickets. I  spent more than $1,500 between Nov. 23 (Black Friday) and Nov. 27, 2012 at Victoria's Secret, The Peruvian Connection, Sears, West Elm and Amazon.

I used my Discover Card for each purchase. When none of the purchases posted to my EBATES account, I contacted the EBATES" HELP" desk via email, and received the same canned reply each time: "We're sorry, blah, blah, we're looking into your problem."

I have retained copies of all of these email messages. It has been more than a week since I placed my orders through EBATES, and I still have not received the cash rebates in my account. The company promises to post rebates within 2-3 days. LIES!

I complained to my credit card company, DISCOVER, about EBATES FRAUDULENT ACTIVITIES, and a DISCOVER agent in the FRAUD DEPARTMENT said they will go after EBATES if all of my purchases are not credited within two weeks.

I also recommended EBATES to two friends who used the site. I have not received rebates for the
recommendations. Based on my experience, EBATES is a fraudulent Internet company and is posting FALSE ADVERTISING
on television.
