Caveat emptor! Buyer beware of amazon!(Read below why.) i had purchased mobile phone mi - order #[protected] from amazon under the 15% hdfc credit card cashback promotion which was being run a few months back(In october). The last date to issue the cashback was 15th of january 2016. I did not receive the cashback while i send them all proof of transactions by credit card. So i started by first calling the amazon customer care. They were able to give merely empty assurances about the cashback and kept on extending the last date by 5-10 days several times. In total i have had verbal communication with them for atleast 4-5 times. One of their customer representatives even told me that it is not for amazon to pursue the cashback as the same is to be issued by the concerned bank and so i was told to pursue my case with hdfc! I was shocked to hear this. I firmly told the representative that by purchasing phone, i have entered into a contract and transacted with amazon.In and not hdfc and therefore it is amazon's bounden duty to purse the case of cashback with hdfc. Still nothing happened. So i contacted them through emails. I have had written communication with amazon number of time and again they are extending the date of issuing a cashback by 5-10 days. For proof i am reproducing their mail below:- amazon your account amazon.In message from customer service hello, in line to our conversation with regards to hdfc cash back, referring to the order #[protected] i apologize for the inconvenience caused with this regards. The process has started and the latest date to wait for cash back given by hdfc bank is 25th jan. So, i request you to wait till 25th jan. I appreciate your patience and understanding in this regards. I hope this helps. We look forward to seeing you again soon- *amazon has shown the poorest of effort in guaranteeing customer satisfaction. More so they have gone a step ahead and committed a fraud and case of ipc 420 is clearly made out. I am waiting for a few more days and then i'll send them a legal notice for cheating, fraud, loss of interest, for mental harassment, agony. I am sharing this so that all of you be aware and careful about these cashback offers being run by amazon. I have added the transaction history.
