i placed an order on 2/19 with Crest, under the P&G family. I noticed a week later that the order was shipped, but had never arrived. I reached out to Crest via email and it took days to hear back and I was told that the order was sent back to Crest and I would be refunded when it got back to them. I then called Crest to confirm this information, and they told me that it wasn't true and the order was out for delivery and to wait until day or so. So I waited.... another week. I called and asked to speak with a supervisor who told me to just wait and the order should arrive, but when I told him the email I was sent about it being sent back to him he changed his story and said that was probably right and I couldn't get a refund until it got back to their warehouse. When I called USPS they said it should take up to 10 business days to get back to them so they should have received it. It has now been well past that amount of time, I'm having trouble getting back in touch with Billy, the supervisor. He said he would call me back, he hasn't - I've had to spend hours on hold and giving my case number. I need a resolution to this.

It's very unfortunate that I've had to go through this twice. I have been stacking my pampers diapers points to get a good amount of cash off coupons. I had received a $5 off for diapers as a gift and for whatever reason it did not work. It was embarrassing standing at the register redeeming different points so I would be able to have enough for my purchase. None of my rewards or gifted coupons worked and I ended up having to change what I was purchasing. Again this is the second time this has happened to me while at the register paying. Customer service does nothing to help. I've had my coupons expire because this happens and I get no help from pampers.

P&G advertise rebates at local stores, such as purchase $50 in their products and get a $15 rebate card. for 9 months I have been trying to collect the $15 gift card. I have attempted to chat with them, call them, email them and either I receive no response or am told to wait 6-8 more weeks each time. This time, I was told by their agent that I waited far to long as it is now 9 months and they cannot access the rebate anymore and I should have contacted them sooner!. I have been contacting them and get bounced around to different departments or given different numbers to call. I tried calling PG themselves but they say that the rebate team is a different entity and they cannot help me as a company. I just want the gift card mailed or a check sent for the $15 owed.

For several months I have been using P&G **** ******** website. P&G intices people to provide personal information with emails such as "$5 eGift Card opportunity is inside" and "Mike, you are so close to a $5 eGift Card!". For months I have been completeing surveys, uploaded a receipt, and did everything I needed to do to earn a gift card. Now that I have reached the amount of points for a $5 gift card, I find that they have none to provide, and encourage you to donate your points. Huh? I have spent MY TIME providing P&G data (my end of the deal) but yet P&G is not upholding their end of the deal ($5 giftcard). I called P&G and was told their gift cards "sell out quickly" and for me to continue to visit the web site and if timing is good, I may be able to get a gift card. I say No. I will not only stop visiting the P&G **** ******** web site, I will stop buying P&G products all together if I don't receive my $5 gift card. Furthermore, I will return all of the P&G products I have unopened in my house, and that's a lot of stuff.
When I get enough points on my credit card to get a gift card or cash back, I am not told, sorry, we ran out of gift card or we ran our of money. I expect nothing different from P&G.

Thanks for replying with your information. We reached out to the Promotions Team that handles the Money Back Guarantee, they confirmed you first spoke with them on 2/15/24 and then contacted them about five additional times. The information they shared with you was also shared with our team and that is the refund via debit card was sent 9/1/23 and that the bank that issues the card confirmed the balance was used in full on 10/10/23. If you or someone in your household did not use the debit card and believe it was used fraudulently, we recommend you call the number for the bank the Promotions Team provided to you which is ###-###-####. They'll be able to start the fraud process with you. I'm sorry, we're unable to start the process for you and since the funds were issued and used, you'll need to work with the bank.
