I was one of the lucky few who had registered for the Visa promotion before they pulled the link. I had the $100 value dollars discount appear on my shopping list, but when I ordered a Palm V, the $100 discount was not applied (but show used up in my account profile). I have sent many emails to VA to resolve this, but have not had any luck. Anyone else with a similar problem?

Had this problem briefly, but the 100 bucks applied itself when I put a check in the 'buy now' box. I might be wrong.

I had $150 saved up from various promotions, and it disappeared when they rebuilt their site a couple of weeks ago, but it came back a couple of days later. Able to get a IIIx for $137. WoooHooo!!!

Zen, I had that problem too where it disappeared after they rebuilt their site. When it appeared again, I thought it was safe to order. But the invoice shows $100 more than it should.

I applied before the change of the promotion and when I checked out sometime last week they only charged me 160 for the IIIx. I received it 2 days ago, so at least that part of the site is fine I'll just have to monitor the bill.

Nemesys00:

As mentioned by others I too had the problem with the value dollars disappearing after they updated the VA site a few days back. I made a quick call to the Cust Svc section @ 888-337-VALU(8258)and they said that was a last step in the DB relaod. I suspect your data could have been dropped. I'd call them and be firm about getting your credits back.

I managed to get a credit on my Mastercard after threatening to cancel an order. Since then no problems. I've ordered 3 separate times from them including the IIIx for $142 and am satisfied. I still have $100 value dollars available between my wife and I.

Good luck!

The frustrating thing is I actually called to cancel my order right after I noticed the improper charge (over a week ago). I was told that the promotion is over and that they were taking the value dollars away from everyone's account. I found that unbelievable (and illegal?) Anyway, I cancelled my order so I would have time to sort this out. Next thing I know, they have started shipping and I'm still getting charged $100 more than I should.

Two options: Refuse shipment

Elevate it to management and be very persistant.

It seemed to work for me anyway. Good luck again.

Frodo, Thanks for your suggestions. I've been trying to escalate, without much success. Do you have a name and phone number or email of someone in management who was able to help you? If you do, email me directly please at [email protected]

Thanks again.

It was back on Oct 12 or 13 and I didn't keep track of the person's name with which I spoke.

Sorry I coudn't be of much more help.
