They will charge the hell out of your credit card!

It may seem like a good idea to use them but DON'T UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES!!! They will charge you month after month for a monthly fee several times in one day. Last month, I was charged twice. I thought ok, they have a glitch, it has been fixed. Yesterday I was charged 4 TIMES, glitch my ass!!!!! Almost $100 was charged, I am sending credit card dispute forms to my bank for all the charges and a lot of emails too them until they answer me.


If you don't know, they are an online game rental place. I was only going to try them for two months, now never again.

I have used them over a year and NEVER had anything like that happen, sounds to me like it might ne a good idea to give them a call, I never had any problems at all with them, Great and prompt service anytime I had a question.

You know, I could understand one double charge but FOUR, how do you overcharge FOUR times? I thought they were great until two months in a row they double charged me. Last month it was just once, this month FOUR times. I knew I had bad luck but this is ridiculous.

this is why you should get a credit card that has one-time use numbers for online purchases.

But at a time like this where you have to pay on a monthly basis, a one time use CC # would not have helped him at all. Once they could not charge the CC # they'd cancel his account or suspend it due to non-payment.

Have you called and talked with them to see what the problem is? The fact it happened 2 months in a row makes me think something is wrong in your account.

you're right, I didn't read the first post all the way thru. I thought it was a one time purchase.

I'll just add that I've used them in the past and never had any problem with their service.

Sounds like he is.

I'd cancel my card and get a new one issued.

They have refunded me the whole amount they charged. I have to say that I liked their service, they were really fast and they games were in great shape. I just want to warn people to check their credit card statements when it's that time of the month for the renewal.

I used gamefly for awhile and never had that problem. I didn't like how long it took me to get some games in my queue though. If you have netflix, I would say that it is like netflix but more expensive and everything takes longer hehe. Not worth it IMO.
