I booked a trip to gt yarmouth, as the fare was to cost me close to 80.00 I went to the internet & got a ticket for 17.00. I was over joyed, I bought the ticket on-line & all was ok! then I find that thetrainline.co.uk has a connection with a coupon firm. this was the first time I have used the internet for this type of thing & was not intrested in coupons. I found that a coupon company has taken out about 80.00 from my account without me asking they say I clicked on their add but I never did, I have been in-touch with both, thetrainline says they are providing an extra service & the coupon company says thet will give me some but not all of my money back. I visited the coupon site & I find I am not alone. the company: the complete savings customer service .co.uk
Free phone 0800 389 6960 is the coupon firm.

Complete Savings
AUTHOR: Neil A Heywood - (United Kingdom)
SUBMITTED: Tuesday, January 08, 2013
I would like to make it clear to all, I did not click on any third party icon whilst on "thetrainline.co.uk" site. As for coupons, I do not buying on the net that a coupon would give me an advantage.
My ticket, if bought at the rail station was around 78.00 & now the ticket has cost me close to 100.00. I only got to know months later when I got paperwork from my card company.
I visited their sit as I said, there are many complaint about this company & none I saw were linked to "thetrainline.co.uk" they all have the same storey as I have had.
As for giving them permission to use my card details, I can say I did not & they could have only got it from "thetrainline.co.uk." I was under the belief that this is not allowed, I have limited knowledge on buying on line but I do know I never asked for this & have no use for this type of site.
Below I have pasted a part of their reply: I would like to finish this by saying that, Complete Savings has never e-mailed me as they say they do & only did when I complained to them. They did offer me 20.00 but I want it all back.
It is clear on the Complete Savings sign-up page that following the first 30 days, you will be charged 10 per month to access the savings and cashback offers. It is also clear that you may cancel your membership at any time. We send out regular email communications to all members, reminding them about how they can use the programme to make great savings, and also reminding members of the monthly fee.
