The Bottom Line
They shut down, they took my money, so why am I still getting the AdvantageGrams?

| Full Review |
OK - we signed up, we dealt with the ad bars and consistent computer glitches, some of us were lucky enough to make a few bucks.
Some of us were faithful, we stayed when they cut our income potential. We may laughed at the silly "jackpots" they started offering. Some of us even signed up for AdvantageGrams, a way to earn some pocket change by reading email. Earlier this year we innocently went in to check out how much money we were making, and we were told that the site had shut down. Our money was lost. No more all advantage. We pouted, we whined, we got on with our lives.
So Why Do I Keep Getting AdvantageGrams? The first one or two was ok - I just figured that the computer hadn't been fixed. But the site shut down in early January. Today, April 3, 2001 I received another email. The footer of the email reads:

payments to appear on your account page.
Unsubscribe, you say? Been there, done that. Go to the FAQ? The link is broken. In fact, it appears that all of the AllAdvantage pages are gone.
You have an idea? Block the sender in my email program? Oh yes! That is great. Tried that - each email is coming from a different email address.
Oh, I know what you are thinking. Hit the delete button. I do - happily. Yet I wonder how much money AllAdvantage is still making from this advertising that I should be receiving payment for? I agreed to the advertising in exchange for compensation. I did not agree from the goodness of my hard little heart.
Who is there to complain to? No one - absolutely no one. The business is shut down, there is no money to be had. I guess I will just deal with it, miserably I might add.
If this company ever "makes a comeback" (which I doubt it will) please don't ask me to join. I understand that life happens and business fails. However, there should be enough integrity within a company to at least ATTEMPT to make peace with the customers they have let down.
Or maybe the guy in charge of Advantagegrams got laid off.
