Industry Tips about Buying Clubs from the BBB:
The BBB suggests that if you are considering membership in a buying club, first compare the prices and services of the club to retail stores and other such services. Consider the amount of merchandise you would have to buy at the club's discounted prices to make up for the cost of the membership. Understand the policies of the organization. BBB files indicate that Sempris, also doing business as FunSource, Home Play, Provell, Vacation Passport, Value Plus, and The Good Deal Company (scroll to the bottom of the BBB's business review to see a full list of the company's alternate names) has a pattern of complaints. The pattern of complaints, as determined by BBB, involves consumers alleging the business (or one of their subsidiaries) made unauthorized charges on their credit card and in many cases customers state they were not aware they had signed up to receive any type of membership or service from this company. The BBB recommends that consumers regularly check their credit card statements for charges which are not clearly identified as to the product or service ordered, and challenge any invalid charges early with the business and/or credit card company. The BBB also cautions consumers who order products online or by telephone when representatives of the selling company attempt to "up-sell" the consumer on added products, programs, clubs or services which may be charged to the consumer's credit card.
