I too have been contacted by American Prestige for the prizes I won. My fiance' and I had to sit through a 2 hour presentation on why we should buy thier 3000 pots and pans. I couldn't believe it. What newlyweds (or anyone else) has that kind of money to blow on pots and pans? The worst part is that you have to talk to the sales person to claim your "prize" before you leave. He was downright rude to us when we said we did not want to buy his pots and pans. He acted as if we were stupid for not wanting to set up a payment plan. For POTS and PANS may I remind you! The catalog we were given for the "free prizes" was ridiculous. Yes, you did get to pick out items for free but then you were expected to pay a shipping and handling price that was more expensive than the item itself! What a joke!
I had to learn my lesson with this place the hard way. It was an absolute waste of my time and was not fun being berated by a goofy salesman trying to sell me pots and pans that cost more than a down payment for a house!!

My name is Sheryl Miller and I am the co-owner of American Prestige. The complaint posted by Stephanie is incorrect. American Prestige is independently owned and we do not do business under any other name than American Prestige.

We are not Gateway Bride or HyCite.

The products that we offer are Royal Prestige products and are distributed by other companies which should not be confused with us.

The internet is a useful tool but I caution anyone to make their first impression on comments made by others especially since they are not factual and directed at others.
