Unexpected payments from bank account. (Web loyalty scheme)
Discussion
Not sure where I should post this but...
Has anyone had unexpected deductions from their bank account for ~£10 a month.
The loyalty scheme call themselves "Shopper Discount and Rewards" on the statements.
Seems quite a few people have been stung - I'd recommend you having a quick check.
Anyone??

The posting was more of a heads-up to fellow PH'ers to check their own accounts - seems a popular con.
Huge amount of hassle to get resolved but our account is sorted now. I have also identified the retailer who passed on the bank details.
I'd be interested to hear if anyone else has this issue.
Yes I kept on noticing this small amount, around 9.00GBP I believe on every bank statement as a DEB (direct debit) but had no clue what it was for and just let it go, like an idiot.
Only late last month I managed to find out my wife had ticked a box subscribing to this after she purchased some flowers. Apparently she signed up to this scheme without really knowing about it, suffice to say I cancelled it, despite them taking nearly 6 months worth of dosh from our account.
Hey you live and learn; read the small print before ticking the boxes!

Microsoft have been doing this from my bank account. I checked last years statements recently to find that they took a 12 month subscription to xbox live from my account 3 times last year at £40 a time. I need to phone them to ask why but I haven't got the energy to be on hold for 14 hours yet, when I can face it then I'll do it.

Obviously it's against naming and shaming rules to actually name said company. But would you like to give us a clue as to what market sector or locality they are in?
I can find references to a site that sends flowers, internationally.Thanks for the heads up as I use them occassionally (although I tend to avoid the 'tick here to receive other offers' type boxes).

If it's the same people that got us you can get refunded if you are stroppy and persistent.Only late last month I managed to find out my wife had ticked a box subscribing to this after she purchased some flowers.
