The Blair VIP Plus program is a complete scam. I have been charged twice on my card for a charge of $14.95 for the VIP Plus program that promised to provide exclusive deals and discounts for people who sign up for VIP Plus.

No separate discounts are provided and I am being charged for this amount regularly whether i shop or not.

This is a complete scam to take away your money from Blair.com. Have requested Blair.com customer service to *** the charges from the account and refund them as well as stop the VIP Plus scam service, however there is no response from Blair.com team.

Monetary Loss: $29.

Location: Stamford, Connecticut

I have been using Blair VIP Plus for more than five years and saved more than $5000! I am sad to hear that some people have not has as good of an experience as I have had.

I submit my receipts either by mail or online and receive coupons to spend.

I have also bought the reduce priced gift cards to places like Walmart and Target. To me the $14.95 per month is well worth it!!!

I have never responded to a customer survey request, but I have also never had a negative experience with Blair. I think when people have nothing to complain about (like me) they don't say anything at all, so the dis-satified/satisfied customer ratio is grossly distorted.

I've been ordering for over 10 years with no problem, but I've never added my opinions to the mix. And I don't think I'm the only one!!

SCAM!!!!

Guest

The same thing is happening to me. I have seen two amounts taken out of my bank account for $14.95.

I am on social security and live paycheck to paycheck. I cannot afford this. I Never asked for VIP. In fact I ordered 5 items last month and they charged my bank account instead of my blair account.

Another thing I cannot afford. Now, I am having a hard time getting in touch with them.

AGREE. I went ahead and participated for 3 months with Blair charging my card 14.95 each month.

I did receive emails saying I had 190.00 in available rebates BUT they never said where I could use them but alluding to me being able to use at a wide variety of retail stores such as... Fast forward, I never received any rebates. I called customer service 17 times and each time, I asked to speak with a Supervisor only to be denied each time. I was asked, why do you want a supervisor.

I relayed my lengthy reason. Another denial. Perhaps they don't have one. My "contract" with Blair says upon cancellation of the plan, I would be issued a check for the full amount of rebates I have, to date.

I have 190.00 in rebates per their emails. I stated quite frankly that I expect a check for 190.00 within 2 weeks or I may contact BBB. The ball is in their court.

Grade? F

I too have been caught up in this scam. Only they got $700.00 from me.

I through at the time it was something that I was being awarded because I was a good customer.

When my husband retired 4 years ago I turned the paying of the bills over to him or else this would have been caught a lot sooner. I think a class action law suit is in order.

Guest

I had the same problem. I kept getting these chargers and no idea what they were for.

They started with 1.99 for the first month... I didn’t realize I had to cancel after that first month.

They have been charging me 14.97 since July. Make sure you read the fine print.

Blair*Blair hit my MasterCard on 05/27/19 for a "trial amount" of $1.99. After that went through, they hit it again on 05/29/19 for $52.55, then again on 06/25/19 for their standard hit of $14.97 and again on 07/25/19 for $14.97 which is when I caught it.

I plan to file a claim with my MasterCard bank for fraud and close the account and get another c/c number. I also intend to notify the federal authorities regarding this fraud and demand that they be prosecuted.

I have been scammed by Blair VIP Plus. How do I go about cancelling my VIP ?

Guest

Blair is 100% garbage - employees in billing are rude and know nothing. they send outr their credit card bill AFTER the due date and then follow up with a late charge. Just paid them off and cut my losses and frustration

Guest

I have been charged 8.99 for this so called Blair Vip plus also and have not gotten anything from them. I know that 8.99 is not much,but when you are on fixed income and you never asked for this, it is a big amount

Guest

I have been charged $14.95 for 6 months and have never received anything from them I just woke up and cancelled

Guest

You can submit proof of purchase to dozens of stores and receive 5% rebate plus shipping reimburse up to $ 10.00 per order. You need to sned in the items and you will get the money back. I save hundreds of dollars a year with blairvipplus

Guest

This is ANOTHER scam used on consumers. I did not even know that I was in this "SOCALLED PROGRAM" until a saw the $14.97 charge on my credit card statement.

When I ordered some merchandise from BLAIR over the internet I must have checked by mistake some box which enrolled me in this scam.

There should be a law against this or at least the requirement for the company "BLAIR" to send you a NOTIFICATION via e-mail that you have enrolled in this SCAM and allow 48 hours to cancel.

I just got scammed by Blair/Haband too. Checked my credit card and found that I have been billed for three months each for $14.97.

Ordered in December and did not even know that they put me in the VIP Plus program. Its a complete scam.

I cancelled the VIP Plus but will not give me back my money. Pissed Off!

Guest

I think it would be nice if one knew they were signing up for the VIP Plus and not find it charged on their credit card statement. At first I thought the charge was for something I ordered and didn't remember ordering, but when I saw it today for the second time, I knew what it was.

I had this happen at another mail order store.

BUYER BEWARE.

Guest

That is because you have to call the vip plus market place to cancel no email Blair customer service. Vip is not a scam it can actually save you lots of money if you read the info on how to get money back.
