RewardZone USA, LLC, Rewardsflow.com, Rewardzoneusa.com Nearly Impossible Requirements for "Gifts"

After you do their offers remember to SAVE YOUR EMAILS! Because they WILL ask for them as proof of purchase of however many offers you're supposed to do. Luckily I did and am going through the process and had to get my form notarized (so they don't get scammed) as I'm no longer allowed to do this for 2 years since I won a $1000 Amazon Card. It's 1 year for lower incentives. They will want your bank statement, as well copy of driver lincense and proof of residence. The only thing I have to mail is my form as legal proof I am who I say I am the rest is sent via email. 

Also remember to cancel free trials or whatever you sign up for it's a good idea to get a new debit card just in case but I only spent $30 on useless crap (10 offers) and I'll end up getting cash when I trade this card so it's a good deal just gotta be patient. They can take up to 3-6 weeks to give you your prize so I'm hoping they're quicker than that. Annoying to do business with but it's worth it just have patience, and save everything!

I started and completed all of the tasks for incentive within a 5 hour period 1 week ago. I filled out the incentive claim page and have had no response whatsoever. I've filled out the "contact us" page multiple times as well as emailing info@rewardzoneusa.com directly. Still not a single response from anyone.

I was really hoping this wasn't a scam because I could really use the money that was promised from the incentive, but of course nothing this good could be true.

I don't believe any of these favorable comments about this.

Why? Because I kept contacting them over and over to stop sending me their emails, and they kept doing so anyway.

Why? Because they keep using the word "Amazon" in their emails to make you think they are somehow connected to Amazon. They are not in any way connected to Amazon. The fact that they initially try to make you think they are is all you need to know about this nonsense.

Why? Because when I clicked where they said to click to get them to discontinue sending me their emails, all I got was a blank page with the words "Are you sure you want to leave us?" There was nothing to check then, and I still continued receiving their emails.

I do not believe that the "favorable" comments you list about this website are real.

The Reward Zone program may be a bit of a hassle to complete, but I don't' think it's unfair. I started the process on April 29th for a Tier 2 $1000 Amazon Gift Card. I received two virtual gift cards on May 19th valued at $750 and $250.  

I had to complete 12 offers to receive my prize, which coincidentally I completed 13. None of the terms of the offers were difficult to understand and all of the rules were in the fine print. Every offer I completed had a deadline after which I would be charged for whatever product I had signed up to receive.  I spent $20-$30 to complete the offers and for return postage to send back the items that I did not want (which was none).  I was able to cancel all the offers within the timeframe I was given and had plenty of time to do it.  I even started canceling the offers before I received my gift card but after all my offers were accepted and I had sent the claim form request. 

I was definitely skeptical that I would actually receive a $1000 gift card, but I am proof positive that you can!

I am writing this REBUTTAL to the claims made against this company because I have just comnpleted the process and have received my reward, and the experience I have had was nothing but pleasant, and actually quite easy and hassle-free.  Firstly, I have no connection to this company as an employee or affiliate.  I am just a guy who started looking at an offer on the internet to fill out a survey and win a $1000 Gift Card to Amazon.com.  I usually pass these kinds of offers up, as I have wasted time before starting down the road of endless questiions and then when they started asking for credit card numbers...I would bail out and curse them for wasting my time.  The only reason I treated this any differently was because I decided to check out the company and its reward offer on this website.  At first I thought my suspicions about the offer's dubious nature were confirmed, but then I read a very well written rebuttal from a guy who said that he had indeed received his reward, and his testimonial of how he went about it.  So I thought I would give it a try.

Well, I am here to tell you that after a mere three weeks and no more than $15-$20 invested in the process, I am the very happy recipient of a $1000 VISA debit card, and the whole thing was fairly painless.  I followed the other REBUTTAL poster's instructions, made sure to read all the fine print, and documented my efforts every step of the way, and today I received in the mail, after only three weeks since I started with the survey questions, my $1000 reward.  There was only one hiccup along the way, and that was that after completing all of the offers required (and there are 10 of them) the Internet page at RewardZone.com showed my status as only having completed 5 of the 10 offers I had actually completed.  So I followed the instructions and sent an email to the company about the discrepancy.  They responded the next morning to tell me I needed to just send them the confirmation emails I had received from those offers, which was no big deal because I was documenting the entire thing.  The next day they sent an email saying that they had received my confirmations and that they were sending me my claim form to fill out.  I did that and then signed electronically with Adobe eSign, and that was it...process completed.

I waited less than 2 weeks, and just today I got my VISA debit card for $1000 in the mail.  It was a far shorter wait than the 3-6 weeks allowed for them to send it and instead of $1000 Gift Card to Amazon.com (the original offer) I got the VISA debit card for the same amount, which is way better and was something I had only hoped might happen.  All in all, it was a great experience and the easiest $1000 I have ever made in my life.

To the negative posters saying RewardZone USA is a less than reputable company, you couldn't be more wrong. Apparently you people cannot read the not in any way small print on every page of their website that tells you exactly how to complete the offers and receive your reward, because if you can just follow the very easy to read instructions, you could get the nearly free money that these guys are very graciously giving away.  I actually think its quite rude to come in to a forum like this and bad mouth them about a bad experience that was more than likely your own fault for not reading the very simple instructions and very easy to follow recommendations that are posted on every page of their website, in a way that is nearly impossible to miss unless you're daft.

So that's my experience, and two cents, for what its worth, and I, for one, can't wait until the terms allow me to do this all over again in a year from now (I think) because as I said before...it was the easiest money I have ever made in my life and I can't wait to do it again.  RewardZone USA FTW!

 I did recieve my 1000.00 gift card after completing 8 items. I had 30 days from the first item i applied for to complete all offers. I started on 8/10/16 and recieved my gift 2 1/2 weeks later by priority mail. As of today i have finally used up the card and i am looking for another program to try.

I got a $500 visa gift card and my brother got an Xbox one. I have proof and documented the whole thing alone the way. AFter you finish the offers it takes about 3 weeks to get the gift. This is because there is a week of downtime after you file while RZUSA checks everything out then you have to do some form saying you arent in the same household as a previous winner and send in your ID. 

Great website, will be checking back in 12 months when the terms say I can do more offers!!

*I DO NOT WORK FOR THEM, JUST HAPPY THAT MY FAMILY GOT ~$800 free stuff!

Reward Zone USA has not answeered any of my requests. on their incentive status they list only 1 featured and 4 platinum, when i have completed 1 additional silver, 1 gold, and 3 additional platinum .

I have received a $1,000 Visa Gift Card from RewardZoneUSA for the past 3 years!!!  Totalling $3,000!!!  I have never had a problem with RewardZoneUSA.  They are a great company!!!  It's great to spend so little money to get $1,000.  I think I spent $12 for 8 offers this year.  That's it!  

You do have to be careful doing the offers!  You have to read the fine print.  An example of this is the Dr. Seuss offer:  It's 4 books for $1. In Step 2 there's a circle that is already checked that says Yes! Please send 2 Bonus Books for just $5.99.  You have to make sure you click on the No. Thank You circle.  This is nothing against RewardZoneUSA.

RewardZoneUSA is great!!!  I'm so glad I found them!  :)

I was offered $100, then $1000 to settle. I am not doing this for the money. I am doing this for all of the people they are ripping off. It is wrong. They are wrong. They know it and they continue.

I forgot. If you want to participate in the class action, PLEASE save the e-mails they have sent you. DO NOT leave them in SPAM because a lot of SPAM is erased in 30 days. I know Florida customers can definitely particpate in the suit due to our state's laws on these kinds of e-mails, but send me your name and state and I can find out if you're included. Let's get the injunction and stop these people! Thanks!!

My name is Stephanie Martin and the reason Reward Zone USA "claims" to have been recently made aware is because I told their attorney. I am filing a class action lawsuit against their nonsense. They continue to scam on a daily basis. We've been collecting people's names and data for six months. We're filing the suit next week. Kindly send an e-mail to RewardZoneUSAScam@clerk.com if you'd like me to pass along your information to my attorney so you can join my class action lawsuit. These people dno't care about anyone. Their attorney said "Do you think we care about years old complaints." Well, there are more recent complaints so don't let them fool you. Here is a complaint from yesterday

Here's another from a few months ago

It's important everyone join my class action because we're filing an injunction to keep them from doing this to anyone else. Also, the company name is Fluent, Inc. and they are in Florida.

They are terrible, terrible people and they are VERY aware of what they are doing. They offered me $100 not to sue. $100 ?!?!? Really??

If this is a legitimate company, why does the return address make it look like the offer is coming from someone on my personal e-mail list?  In the past week I've gotten three offers for a $150 Walgreens card.  One appeared to come from Divorce Care, one from Lumber Liquidators, and the third from a friend.  Red flag ripoff . . . BIG TIME!!!

  I've recently been offered the $100 Kohl's gift card. I have been checking my incentive status and I've been trying to claim my incentive for the $100 Kohl's gift card I have not only went ahead and I've recently (well, let me restate that since the 28th of June when this was started all the way UP until now) everyday. Also, I've been trying to claim my incentive for the $100 kohl's gift card. I have not only went ahead and completed all of my requirements! I have all of my proof not only on my credit card... Well, bank card statement showing that I completed not only OVER 2 silver/gold offers, OVER 2 platinum offers, and now... I finally after it told me that I completed it and my offer was successfully completed and BEING processed..... Now, I get back on again and things are missing that I DID complete. Like I said, I have my bank statement IF you need it to prove that... I am signed up for it and being charged a lot of money for ALL of these offers I completed. I did everything you guys told me to do. You had it set that I did everything it was all on there and it stated it was completed! Now all of a sudden its saying I need 40 more points AND I need to do more offers?!?!?! NO Way! I have the proof this is BS! Simply BECAUSE, I have done everything that I am supposed to do!

Also, for future reference some of us also have Google Voice so when you put the option to screen the calls when they ring to your phone that's the ONLY time they will be screened and then it rings so that is letting me know that you are having it go through to a person to their phone they are screening it and then not answering and sending you to a voicemail and pretending that there is no one there to answer it?!?!?!? You NEED to realize that especially since a lot of us have Google products and they are all linked together that we know how this works. I do have a Google Voice number I know exactly how it works! And this was the number that I called when got it off the Better Business Bureau website that has you guys having a very bad rating for these kinds of situations you are actually underneath of the scam and the stay away from Ripoff report. That's how I found this WHEN attempting to contact your arbitration and dispute resolution division in white plains NY.

We wanted to take the opportunity to respond to your January post about RewardZoneUSA, of which we just recently became aware.  In your post, you assert that our promotional path has “nearly impossible requirements.”  We don’t agree and would like to clarify several misstatements in your post.

RewardZone USA works very hard to maintain superlative clarity and transparency for our users so they understand what’s required to earn the promoted incentive.  There’s no doubt that users are required to purchase merchandise or sign up for “offers” that include subscriptions, memberships, or monthly programs, in order to earn a larger, more valuable item.  We state that a user must make a purchase clearly and conspicuously on the landing page.  We don’t use the word “free” or try to confuse users so they think that they only have to complete a survey to get the incentive.  The terms are explained clearly – no legalese – in the paragraph that’s on every page of the path as well as in the Terms and Conditions.  In fact we added a sentence to this paragraph in response to some consumers who, based on customer service inquiries, appeared confused about the program requirements.  The sentence reads: “COMPLETING A SURVEY WITHOUT COMPLETING THE OFFERS SPECIFIED ABOVE DOES NOT QUALIFY YOU FOR AN INCENTIVE.”  That seems pretty clear to us.

We were not happy with the number of users that qualified for incentives, since we wanted more people to qualify, and tell their friends.  (Note: We never had “refer a friend” requirements like some of our competitors.)  Since your post, we reduced the number of required offers needed to qualify for the incentive.  Now, if the value of the incentive is $100 or less, users need to purchase a total of 5 offers from 3 categories (2 Silver, 2 Gold, and 1 Platinum offer); if the incentive is worth over $100, users need 10 offers in total (2 Gold, 2 Silver, and 6 Platinum offers). This information is available, along with many other details, in our Terms and Conditions at this link: http://www.rewardzoneusa.com/path.html?p=CampImg/1300/terms.htm.

To assist our users, we recently added a chart detailing the terms of many of the offers including upfront cost, continuing requirements and information on how to cancel.  Here’s the link: http://www.rewardzoneusa.com/path.html?p=CampImg/1300/privacy.htm.  We think this is pretty useful information.

In your post you claim that 24 hours was insufficient time to complete all the offers.  That’s just not correct.  In fact all of the offers required to earn an incentive can be completed within a 24 hour period – there are no approval periods or anything like that.   And if a user completed offers outside of the 24 hour period, we routinely waived the rule and assisted the user in qualifying for the incentive.  To the best of our knowledge, no user was ever denied an incentive under this rule.  But to make it easier for a user to earn an incentive, last month we extended the time period to 30 days. This gives users more flexibility to sign up for offers on their own schedule so they can qualify for the incentive.    

We also have a staff dedicated to answering users’ questions and incentive claims, which can be submitted through the Members Area of our site here: http://contact.rewardzoneusa.com/Login.aspx?ReturnUrl=%2fprizestatus.aspx. We can also be reached at info@rewardzoneusa.com at any time.  Our staff regularly walks users through any remaining steps required to qualify for their incentives because it’s in everyone’s best interest to have happy, satisfied customers.

It’s surprising that even with clear disclosure and the relaxed requirements and a customer service team standing by to help, less than 40% of all consumers who qualify for an incentive claim them even though we send multiple emails and letters via USPS and call them literally begging them to claim their incentive. 

The program really does work if you follow the rules to earn an incentive.  We’ve seen many folks earn a $1,000 incentive while spending much less than that on completing advertised offers.

Bottom line: we believe our program is fair, we explain it clearly and simply, and we provide consumers with the chance to earn valuable incentives.  No doubt we’re in business to make a profit but we want users to earn incentives and claim them in part because we don’t like seeing our name attached to posts on the RipOffReport that are inaccurate and mischaracterize our program.

The conclusion paragraph of this thorough report by Chris sums it up nicely: avoid RewardZone USA if you're not willing and able to play by their extensive rules.

While caution is advised, I cannot call it a ripoff because I DID RECEIVE $1000 in Visa debit cards (two $500 ones) which I have already spent most of -- in other words, they are real, and I'm quite happy about that!

It took me substantial time and energy (which I will explain further) but ultimately it was worth $1000 to me. I would never have attempted it for a mere $100 gift card. At several points along the way (i.e., in the two months it took to collect the reward) I thought I was going to be here on this website describing a scam... but I'm pleased that I'm not.

I decided to go for the $1000 gift card on the evening of March 31, 2014. I was sucked in initially because the first two offers that I could sign up for were items that had been on my "list" for awhile; i.e., things that I actually wanted! My list of offers to choose from did not include credit cards, so I cannot comment on that being something impossible to get within their timeframe. Also quite possibly I may have just gotten lucky that I was presented with offers that were do-able for me. So be prepared to fill out a few and then possibly have to abort.

You need to be very clear about signing up for these offers -- they ALL want to attach themselves to your credit card and charge you every month for the rest of your life. I took EXCELLENT NOTES on each offer, its terms, timelines, etc, as I filled out each offer. I filled out 12 offers (in RewardZone categories of Gold, Silver, and Platinum) per instructions. I ended up spending just under $30.00 for my "free" items (some ask for shipping cost, etc.) I attached them all to a credit card that was valid for now, but was about to expire! That was my ace-in-the-hole in case one or more of the 12 were scams in their own right. But I'm also happy to report that they were not. After I received each of the 12 items, I went through the process of unsubscribing and have had no fallout from that (no charges on my card to contest). And the items I received as samples were all pretty good -- as described (oh, but one other warning -- 2 of them needed to be boxed up and returned without using them or else they would have charged me. That wasn't clear initially. Pay attention at every step! I returned them and all is well.)

The key to actually getting RewardZone to acknowledge that I had earned the $1000 was in collecting the 12 confirmation emails from the 12 offers. Each "thank you and welcome" email was timed and dated, of course, which proved that I had achieved 12 within the given 24-hour timeframe.

Incidently, somewhere after March 31 they changed the rules (for the better) and you now have 30 days to fulfill the offers instead of 24 hours! That was last I noticed anyway -- be sure to READ THE RULES because they can change again, certainly.

But here is the #1 Rule you MUST apply to YOURSELF if you decide to attempt one of RewardZone's offers: You must be tenacious! They are spotty at best in returning email inquiries, and never any personal names -- only "info@" and "RewardZone Team" (until the very end when I received paperwork to fill out to receive my $$$ from "Mohit Singla, Director, Compliance") I would get an email saying I had complied with 10 of the 12 or 11 of the 12, etc, and I would reply with copies of all 12 confirmation emails... and then I wouldn't hear from anyone for a week. And then it would start over again, possibly with someone new at the other end -- who knows?! But I was tenacious and emailed them daily with my dispute number (per their own rules) etc, etc.

I was about to throw in the towel and looked into Arbitration (per their rules) but it would have cost me $700 (which they say they will reimburse -- ummm, no thank you) so instead I began a relentless spamming campaign on them: emailing them my dispute/request 1 to 3 times daily. Yes, I made it into a mission. But this actually didn't take much time -- just did it while checking my emails, so why not?!

When I was still getting the runaround and only an occasional email throwing me a glimmer of hope, I was just getting set to begin filling out complaints on sites like this one. But BINGO I received a congratulations email and a set of paperwork to fill out to receive my $1000! Now here is another step that gave me pause -- but it's in their rules and I knew it was coming -- they need a notarized signature ($10 cost to me) and a filled out W4 -- which means, yes, they will get your social security number (to report winnings to the IRS). The words "identity theft" did cross my mind, but at that point I was in too deep, and I went ahead and finished it.

Three days later, I had two $500 Visa debit cards (in lieu of a $1000 Amazon gift card)! And so far I believe (hope/pray) that my identity is intact. Thank you RewardZone USA LLC and Mr. Compliance Director Mohit Singla -- I appreciate the integrity in the end! As to you other consumers out there -- take this on only if you don't mind dancing!
