MyPoints.com, Inc. Compliment - Ripped Off By An Mypoint Offer / No Responses To Emails Sent - Mypoints Promotion With Goldster

Mypoints Promotion With Goldster - Compliment
Review by jacadams on 2010-11-04
I signed up to participate in an offer MyPoints was running with Goldster.

I received an envelope from Goldster to use to send my gold jewelry to this company for purchase. By participating with MyPoints, I was to receive a $25 above the purchase price of my jewelry.

Accoding to Goldster, I would be notified of an offer for the purchase of my jewelry within 3 days. I could accept or decline. If declined, my jewelry would be returned.

I never received notification from Goldster on the purchase price for my jewerly. Weeks later, I received a check for $5.95. Yes, I did say $5.95. I was shocked. I would NEVER have accepted an offer so low.

I trusted that this was a trusted vendor, because the offer came from MyPoints. Repeated emails to MyPoints.com have not been responded too.

in my opinion offers like 'cash for gold' or anything else like are scams.i think you would have been better off going to places that buy gold.

Local malls near me have stores that buy gold jewelry. They weigh it and test it on the spot. They then make you an offer that you can accept of reject. Try visiting the local mall next time, or perhaps a local pawn shop. I wouldn't trust a mail-in process for gold.

jacadams,

If you find yourself unhappy with payouts, simply return the check within 10 days printed on it as per terms of service. Also, customer service is available at 877-805-0811 or by email, customerservice@goldster.com

This is a scam, 100% scam. Don't ever trust a situation like this, you will never receive fair compensation.
