web certificates my fanny!

[smhop1]

so, i got the free web certificate and sent one to my dad and a few others i know. I got mine, but no one else got thiers! How embarrasing after i told them about it. STill, though, i had mine and used it for small amounts... 30 cents here and there... i thought "what a great thing, i will definately put more money on here so no company's get my cc#" WEll, every single one of those orders was canceled . I got emails saying that my Mastercard was declined! I think web certificate must have decided they were no honoring the freebies anymore. HOW AGGRAVATING.

I can sympathize with your aggravation, but I think the web xertificate freebie was not supposed to be the total account. It was an incentive to get you to join, then you add to it, like with FreeRide points, to keep the account active. I think Webcertificate was right in not opening up the account for the freebie.

yes, i planned on adding to it I thought it was a GREAT idea... but before forking over MY money , I tried it out... i thought thats why they gave you the five bucks, "try before you buy"? ANYway, they won't get my money now...

PU! to web certificates.

At least rfor the 5$ web certificate, and they never sent it. When I emailed them, they replied that i must use a paid for email, be over 18 and be your first time ordering a certificate. I emailed them back and told them that I met all of the above criteria, and they never did reply. I would like to try one, I always have to use my credit cards. If anyone signs up I would appreciate you sending one to me at [Only registered and activated users can see links. Either login above or Register Now]

anyone knows how does the webcert actually work? I got a $10 webcert from freeride, and plan to make a purchase slightly more than $10.
someone told me that they charge $1 if u want to add fund to ur account, and the unuse amount in ur account will be forbided after u make a single order.
Is that true? i am really confuse with it, can anybody help....
thanks

I'm sorry you are all having trouble with web certificates. I have had mine since around Dec. (got the free $5 one) and have had no problems. I used it many times for small amounts before I ever added any money to it. The only problem I have ever had is that a very few stores do not except them. Maybe give them a call. Sometimes that works much better then emailing a company. Good luck all.

I have found Web certs to be a wonderful thing. I think perhaps some of you are not correctly filling your account. When your web cert pops up, you have to "click to proceed." You have to get the black banner on top of the page to register an amount, then you can go shopping. I was able to make a dollar purchase using mine. To the FreeRider with $10.00, wait until you have another $10.00 from FreeRide. If you add to your account with a credit card,then you will be charged $1.00.

When you order make sure all info on the order is identical to the info on the WC. Such as:

RR 4 Box 12 on one
and Route 4 Box 12 on the other.

The little things like this can goof it up. Also things like

Minneapolis vs. MPLS

or Joe vs. Joseph
