[Resolved]  India Today Book Club — Non receipt of free gifts

I have paid in full the amount Rs. 1099 in cash for which I was supposed to have been given 8 Music CDs produced by Music India, one Reebok T-shirt and One Bag. I received the Cds on 27th March. I tried to log on to the website intimated by India Today group www.bookstoday.in/promos.htm, but could not. I tried calling teh land line number[protected] and was told the website is out of order and till the website is restored nothing can be done about the free gifts. I have been given a number but if the claim is not made within two months the claim is automatically invalidated. What can I do?

I am facing a similar problem with India Today.Look like a bunch of fraudsters to me.I was offered a holiday package all expenses paid with a set of 12 books free of charge, after payment of Rs 2598/-. I have recd the books who's net worth is not even Rs 500, but am unable to log into their free gift site.I shall next be approaching the consumer courts for a resolution of this issue.I advise people not to subscribe to these promos.

Set of 16 Devotional CDs — Not Received Free Gifts

As per the details mentioned at the time of ordering the set of 16 Devotional CDs, a free air ticket and a free voucher to claim Reebok shoes were offered. But even after a couple of months of receiving the CDs there is no response from your end in respect of free gifts. May I know the reason and will I get the free gifts or not.
With Due Regards
Dear Sir/Madam

This is with reference to the order no.MITBC[protected] dated 4th August, 2009. I have booked the order in the light of offer pack which contains 4 Books of International Best sellers + Rebok Wrist Watch.



I have received the 4 Books only by courier on 13th August, 2009 after making the payment of Rs.499/-.



It is now requested to clarify about the delivery of the Rebok Wrist Watch as stated in the Offer. It is pertinent to say that the booking order clearly says that this offer is for 4 Books + Rebok Wrist Watch for Rs.499/-.



I have contacted your office on[protected] but with no response.



Kinly expedite the same immediately and acknowledged me.



Thanking you.

How I believe such type of offers as I have been cheated by earlier. For God sake, don't dimage the image of ITBC by offering false free gifts.



Thanking you.
