A Missouri woman says she was blindsided by a so-called TeleBrands savings club fee when making a purchase for a scrubber she saw advertised on television.
Lead plaintiff Barbara Rosenbloom alleges that the “Everyday Savings” program fee started at $1, then spiked to $14.99 a month.
TeleBrands touts itself as “the oldest existing direct response marketing company and the original creator of the ‘As Seen on TV’ logo and category of trade,” according to the TeleBrands class action lawsuit.
Rosenbloom says that she noticed the fee on her credit card statement after she purchased a Hurricane Spin Scrubber in response to an ad on television in April 2018.
The TeleBrands class action lawsuit contends that Rosenbloom never agreed to the fees or to be entered into the “savings” program.
“Telebrands describes the ‘Everyday Savings’ program as a ‘premier savings club that makes it easy to find great deals on the things you love. Everyday Savings club members receive instant access to over 200,000 money-saving deals including Restaurant Discounts, Shopping Discounts, Entertainment Discounts, Travel Discounts, and Automotive Discounts,’” according to the TeleBrands class action lawsuit.
Rosenbloom contends that she received no such savings, nor have other consumers who have unwittingly been slapped with these fees; instead, they were subject to recurring charges on their credit cards.
“Telebrands has repeatedly engaged in similar misconduct for years,” alleges the TeleBrands class action lawsuit. “For example, in 2011 Telebrands entered into a settlement with the Iowa Attorney General for improperly charging consumers monthly fees for its ‘Everyday Savings’ program. The Iowa Attorney General stated, ‘Too often, purchases from Telebrands led to month after month membership charges to a consumer’s credit or debit card for a membership the consumer didn’t want, didn’t use and didn’t even know about.’”
The TeleBrands class action lawsuit points to further customer complaints about being unknowingly entered into the Everyday Savings program and subject to monthly fees.
An online complaint says that one customer discovered they had unknowingly been subject to recurring fees for the Everyday Savings program for two years after they had purchased an anklet from TeleBrands.
The plaintiff seeks to represent a nationwide Class of consumers who were unknowingly entered into the Everyday Savings program, and subject to its monthly fees, over the past six years.
The TeleBrand class action lawsuit contends that the “As Seen on TV” company has engaged in fraud by enrolling consumers into this program and charging them fees without their permission.
The plaintiff is seeking damages for herself and on behalf of the Class.

You are not automatically enrolled you actually have to click on a button and it asks you do you want to be enrolled.
People need to start reading for the things they sign up for. You even have to create your own account in order to take part of their rewards program.
The rewards program is a great tool when you have those last minute gifts you want to purchase or need for the holidays for family.
This is just another person trying to make a quick buck
