Thanks.
The father company according to the coupon Becks gave me now is : MyFreeTravel
http://www.myfreetravel.com/
On the coupon it says that My Free Travel in businees since 1987 and they ranked "A" by BBB:

On the home page of http://www.myfreetravel.com/ they do have ofer for a Grocery Rebates program, however it doesn't say who represents them, so not sure who is who here.
Anyway, ait seems again to be wrong way ...

There IS a 9.95 registration fee, but the first Visa card will be 35.00 instead of 25.00. The turnaround time is also 4-5 weeks instead of 12 weeks with the former promotion company.
I'll post updates as I have see them unfold.

The "new company: you mean My Free Travel, right? Below are facts and questions,especially now after customers have to trust this voucher :
1)There is many logos printed on front of this voucher and one of them belongs to My Free Travel
2)Ontheir website there is no any link to the new website:
www.ClaimYourVisaCards.com isn't suspicious, is really the same company behind a new voucher?
3) They require to send driver license ID and 9.95$ , the DL is really sensetive information that you give to the company you see first time?Is it common case?
4) If you will google My Free Travel complaints you will see that the same company is fillowing not a nice marketing model.....which makes people angree.
5) You sent 9.95$ and your DL to them and now you will wait 6-10 weeks again, lets see how it works.
Guys, just think why some 3-rd part company will give you 600$ !!!!!
How they can make money exactly?
I just want to make sure the Claimyourgroceries scenario will not happen at least to people who is reading this forum.Believe me I am as you would like to get back my promised value ...But looks like it's not this story...

If spending 4 minutes and .50 a month to get $25.00 seems like a hassle, then it's a rip-off to you. My clients are very happy to get free money. Some people are just not into coupons.

Even with your poor grammar, I think I understand your post. No, I'm not selling the promotions, I simply bought some to use with my company, just like Beck's did. If you don't trust them, stay away. I'm gonna give them a chance to make it right.
And to answer what I think is your question: How do they make money? It's advertising based. The Visa cards will arrive with ads targeted to you based on your purchases and they know not everyone will follow through. I was told that around 10 % of the people who get them even register. This is not much different than "junk" mail. It's all a numbers game. With "junk" mail, a 2 % response is considered a good investment. Time will tell....

I am sorry about the grammar, English is my 3-rd language, so it will take time to get it better.
I just suggest you to check whether My Free Travel company is really behind this voucher.
As I've mentioned , on their website there is no any links to the website which appears on the new voucher : www.ClaimYourVisaCards.com and on this website there is no any links or mention of MyFreeTravel.com, so it looks not good as a start.
Also their request to send Driver License copy will allow them to hold sensitive private information on you.
Make sense?

There is a 9.95 fee to join, but that is refunded with the first Visa card. You must also send in a copy of your driver's license to confirm your address. The license and check must match the home address to where the cards will be sent. This is to avoid muliple registration/fraud. Seems logical to me. I'll blacken out the driver's license # before sending in.
Let's see how this one goes.

Thanks for the update , rda.
Please keep posting the updates once you have any results.
Just to let you know , I've sent multiplied email to MYFREETRAVEL customer service and sales department to confirm CLAIMYOURVISACARDS is their product and they are behind it, but no replies at all,what can I tell you......
Hope it will work for you, I personally going to watch from a side for few monthes with the voucher and want to see people can make it and not to see a new sad story covering another scam and fraud...

In related news, I'm also sending my name/ss#/address/bank account #s to a guy in Romania who promises to help me transfer 20,000,000.00 in unclaimed cash to a bank in Phoenix. My cut is 2 %, non taxable. Must be my lucky day.
