    I've been using Seated as a rewards program for going to restaurants for several years now. As of this writing, I amassed $1,014 in rewards on the system, as well as $200 in Delta gift cards. I recently made an in-app complaint about a receipt I uploaded not being accepted. Later that day, I was locked out of my account and told to contact support. After 4 days of no responses, I get a response stating: "Thank you for reaching out. Your Account was removed from the Seated Community due to the changing of receipt information on recent receipts uploaded to ****************************, and ****************** Cottage, resulting in the forfeiture of any remaining Seated funds in the Account. Please know that this decision wasnt taken lightly, and this decision is final." I venehmetly deny changing any of the receipts, and this has been the only response I have gotten from the company in regards to the complaint I compiled. Thus, I have lost out on all the rewards I have amassed, despite being loyal to this app, recommending it, and using it widely. I am hoping I can at the very least get my rewards back.

    After being abroad, I logged into my account to find that today of all days, my balance went from $155 in rewards to $0 as a reward adjustment. I visited the app on April2 because I was pushed a $10 promo code and would have expected to be alerted of this in app that I needed to make a reservation or cash out in order to not lose my reward balance. I have text messages and emails turned on, so I wouldn't have missed it and would have taken action had I known there was a defined type of "activity"/90 day policy regarding rewards.I understand that there is a policy on the app that is clear _once this happens_ but as a UX designer, this is ethically unacceptable and a model for dark UX. I shouldhave receivedan email communication, a text message, at least two weeks notice with a toast or an alert in-app, and a statement of this being the policy upon signing up. I'm seeking $155 in a billing adjustment as that was what I was promised and the whole point of engaging with the app.As stated in other complaints, all attempts to communicate with the business are futile and this is exactly what BBB should be here for.

    This app fraudulently incentivized me to use their platform to make restaurants reservations with the promise of a portion of my bill being returned to me as a credit in their store. After earning $45 in credits they shut my account down with no warning. Even more concerning is the night before shutting my account down they asked my for a credit card statement proving I had dined at a particular restaurant. I provided this, and immediately after my account was removed. Was this a scam to get my personal information?

    I have been using the app for 3 years and they have been awarding my account with cash as that is their entire platform. After a short period of inactivity, they took all of my earned money. $230. I'm asking that they return the money as rewards to my account or cash equivalent.

    d had no idea what "inactive" meant on the Seated App, so it's a common problem that they are simply ignoring. On top of that, I tried to redeem my rewards for Delta gift cards multiple times in the past and received an error each time, so I couldn't even use the rewards when I wanted to. When I asked a **************** agent about that she said that Delta wasn't part of their Rewards program any more, even though they are still clearly listed there.
