      I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********:

       

      See the attachments for the receipt.

      Noting that I did use two boxes of crest whitening strips and the whitening process did nothing to brighten my teeth.
      I had a simple desire to brighten to brighten my teeth and these products failed.

      Two boxes of crest whitestrips were purchased as the receipt shows. I’m requesting a refund for both.

      Thanks for reaching out and we're sorry you didn't get the whitening expected. Consumer testing and clinical studies have shown that our Crest Whitestrips are effective however, we know if you have stubborn stains you may need to use a second box of Whitestrips to achieve the results you want. We do have a robust Money Back Guarantee program, we would be happy to provide the details for. However, as a onetime gesture of goodwill, we can speed up the process if you would please reply to the BBB with a copy/photo of the purchase receipt and if you hand write the Complaint ID number ******** on the box and send the photo. 

      We look forward to receiving your documentation.

      I participated in a promotional offer. Spend $50 get a $15 rebate. I spent $150 on qualifying products with the anticipation of receiving $45 in rebate gift cards. After submitting my receipts as requested, and all the information that is involved with the submission, I received a confirmation that my submission was received. It took about six weeks for the processing time and during thay time the offer ended. When I received my rebate I only received $5 of the $45 I should have received. I was told there was an error with the website when my receipts were uploaded into the system but since the promotion had closed they were not going to send me the additional rebate funds I was owed. I had done all that was requested on my part and was under the impression everything submitted correctly. Poor customer service.

      Thank you for reaching out to the Better Business Bureau (BBB) and Procter & Gamble (P&G). We’re sorry to hear about this experience.


      We offer many different rebates and promotions, some of which are handled by the store. We’d like to look into this rebate further. We’ve gone ahead and sent you an email directly regarding this rebate.


      Again, we are sorry for your experience and appreciate the opportunity to address your concerns.

      e to get $5. I've then said take off all the p&g products I will not purchase any of them. Again because I wasted my time and it did not place me in a very good light with ****** in my opinion, I called P&G and explainef the situation. I thought I was speaking with someone in customer service but I find out there was no service at all. I was simply told that the website for the rewards program had no one set up for taking any phone calls and representative is really sorry about that. I am really surprised that a company this large has such shoddy customer service over a meager $5. But I wanted to bring this to issue because it doesn't really matter about the amount as it's a reflection on the lack of customer service and care about the customers and having to jump through hoops to get a measly $5 honored at a store that they approved. I would have at least expected an offer of $5 in coupons or something to be sent but no. I guess that's expecting too much from today's companies. Thank you.

      We're very sorry to hear about the difficulty you had redeeming your reward. While we don't handle these promotions directly, we are more than happy to assist. Also, while we can't be certain, it does appear that the retailer may have the information for this promotion entered incorrectly in their system.

      Sorry, but I cannot accept the response until I receive the card. 
       
      And I was told last week it will take up to 3 weeks.  Now you say it will take up to 4 weeks. 
       
      So, I will wait to get the card, and will not close this until I receive it. 
       
      And I called your "bank" and they require the number on the card to check on it, and I have received nothing.

      Thanks for reaching out and we're sorry to hear of your disappointment with Crest. While we do have a money back guarantee, that requires you to send in via postal mail the UPC, receipt etc within 60 days of purchase. As a gesture of goodwill, we made an exception and allowed you to submit information to our team and we issued a refund via debit card, this was requested to the bank on May 14th. Since you didn't receive the card, we reached out to the bank who confirmed the suite number was missing from the mailing and a new card was requested with the suite number in the address. This was requested on 7/2 and will take up 4 weeks to arrive. If you would like, you can call the bank at 1-800-764-5376 and confirm the information above. Again, we're sorry for the delay and appreciate your patience.

       

      Business Response

      Date: 07/14/2025

      We appreciate your patience and are sorry for the confusion. While debit card generally arrive within 3 weeks, both you and we are subject to the postal mailing system, therefore, at times, mailing can take up to 4 weeks. We are sorry the bank representative advised they would need a card number, this is most unusual as they should easily be sure to find your account using your name and mailing address. If you would like to recontact them and speak with a supervisor, we would expect they can assist. Simply call 1-800-764-5376  and once the language is selected, as the customer, should select the first option to check the status of a card not received. 

      Kind regards.

      I have reviewed the response made by the business, and even though I still have nothing in hand, I want to close this.  It's ridiculous how much I have had to chase this company, and now they suggest I contact their "bank" yet again.   

      If I do not receive something from them, I will escalate this to their management, and Consumer Protection.

      I purchased two toothbrush sets, the white one was damaged a year ago, you replaced one for me, and the other one is not working now because of the same battery problem. You have a global warranty, but now the other one is in China, and China does not support global warranty. The United States only pays for domestic shipping. Since oral b cannot solve this problem, I require refund,thank you!

      This is in regards to the Pampers Rewards club program. I have been scanning barcodes to obtain rewards in their program and have obtained roughtly $40 worth of coupons. I am not able to use them becuase they never have rewards and diapers available at the same time. To be clear, when the $30 coupon is available to claim on their app, the diapers are out of stock at all retailers. This has happened multiple times in the past few years, I feel they are doing this deliberatly to not allow customers to use the coupons.

      Business Response

      Date: 07/01/2025

      Thank you for bringing your
      experience to the attention of the Better Business Bureau regarding the Pampers
      Rewards program. I sincerely apologize for the challenges you've faced in
      redeeming your rewards and for the frustration caused by the availability of
      both coupons and products. I want to assure you that this is not our intention,
      and I will share your feedback with our team for further review.

      To address your concern,
      Pampers products are widely available in grocery stores, drugstores, and large
      chain retail stores. However, we recognize that stock levels can fluctuate, and
      it may be challenging to find both the rewards and the products at the same
      time. For the most up-to-date information on pricing and availability, I
      encourage you to visit Pampers.com. If you continue to experience difficulties
      using your rewards, please reach out to our customer support team, who can
      assist you further. In the meantime, as a onetime gesture of goodwill, we are
      sending you a coupon to offset the cost of a package, please look for it via
      postal mail in about three weeks. We value your loyalty and feedback, and we
      are committed to improving the Pampers Rewards experience for all our
      customers.

      Thank you for your
      understanding, and we appreciate your continued support of Pampers.

      We appreciate your patience while we research the status of the shipment of a new Oral-B brush and are sorry for the delay. Good news, we confirmed the original shipment cleared customs and was delivered Monday.  As background, there have been delays in ******** customs recently due to unknown changes in the importation process of some goods that our Shipping Team is working to resolve. In the meantime, we had already reshipped a replacement assuming the unit was lost in the mail, so you may receive a second mailing. If so, feel free to keep it.

      Again, thanks for your patience.
