SO as I expected, Wagjag's amateur site messed up and charged my friend's credit card TWICE and only give her 5 vouchers due to their stupid system failures, I have been emailing Wagjag about the situation and they have been totally unresponsive. (after checking credit card statements)

Way to go for a web-based eBusiness company that handles online transactions. THIS IS CALLED AMATEUR.
Thanks, I'll be sure to check my credit card as well.
 
wagjag jag me off ...

Thanks, I'll be sure to check my credit card as well.
Probably not applicable to most of you that ordered only once (unless during website down times). But when my friend ordered, she got a confirmation number and transaction went through but it wasn't showing up on her wagjag account, so Cathy said if it's not showing up on My Wallet, it's not valid; so I asked her to purchase again (and get another confirmation number). The second purchase show up on My Wallet.

Knowing how eBusiness website works, I already guessed that they would have charged twice even due to their system instability and failure.

so now just waiting to hear back from wagjag ..... they do not even have a number but only an email and fax number..... let's see how it works out
 
I picked up my 5 coupons today and had to sign for them so i am unsure if you can transfer them? But I was told that if you spend under the $50 amount they will give you a credit for the remainder.

Hypothetically, if someone was to go buy something let say for 300$ and then the next week took it back. Does BAs do cash back? or only credit... I am afraid credit.... but not sure.

I have no idea what to get there. I rarely shop at ba's because I find most things more than 2 times more expensive than other places. I refuse to get fish they rarely seem healthy..

When I went there on Saturday, it was written right on the counter that the wagjag giftcard is only used in one shot, remaining value is forfeited if not used - but of course the store can probably change the rules and give credits (it's very nice of them).

Most GTA BA doesn't give cash/credit card refunds, and only give store credits. I am sure for giftcards of this promotion, they will only give store credits (else they will be losing money big time). You can call them up and ask since they are manage differently as a franchise.

I actually find this "out-of-GTA" BA store pretty reasonable in terms of drygood inventory level and prices; prices pretty comparable to Toronto LFS. They have some small 9W UV sterilizer for $65 & 18W for $99 that I thought are pretty good deal.
 
Well 2 full time employees told me about the credit if under $50 so I did think it was fair and I didn't see a sign. I did also see some small 18 inch light fixtures and even smaller LED lights at the store in the marine section so anyone looking for small lights call them up. Plus they had some small heaters 50w and 25 submersibles.
 
Buy the products and resell them back out in GTAA, PN, Kijiji and etc

Eg. Eheim Pro3 2075 cost $299.99 + tax = $338.98

Total cost $338.98 - $250 coupon = $88.98 (the extra cost)

Since I paid $125 for $250 coupon

So $125 + $88.98 = $213.98 is the final cost

Time + Gas + Effort = $36.02 (my pay per filter, x 3)

Total earning = $108.06

If I can get $250 for each filter

I am pretty sure some people will pay $250 for a brand new pro3 filter (show reciept) as to paying $300 + tax to a store :D

That's just one method! :D

I can meet you there :D
 
Quick question about these coupons. My friend travels to hamilton pretty frequently. Would he be able to casht eh vouchers in to get the gift cards for me? Or do I have to go and get them myself?
 
Why do people try to make these good deals into money making schemes? You want to have more money, spend less, not scam businesses.

Dad and I bought a 75 Gallon tank to replace the ~40 gallon one. He's always wanted a big tank of his own. In the next few weeks well build an ADA style stand and once realy transfer everything from the 40 to the 75 and put it in it's place.

This location is undergoing some major fishroom renovations. Before December everything should be up and running polished I would guess. In time to loadup for Xmas. I overheard James (fishroom manager) mention that 13 boxes of African cichlids were arriving this Wed\Thursday if anyone is interested in Africans. Friday evening or Saturday would be a good time to go.

I've kind of had a laugh about that myself :-/

Anyhow, don't know if it's been clarified, but I spent about $75 the other day. I used 2 vouchers. They kept one that was used in full, and wrote the balance on the other and recommended I save the receipt, just in case. There was no mention of forfeiting any portion of it...

I'm tring not to spend too much before the fish room is done :)

How could someone possibly scam businesses?
I fulfilled the contract with Big Al's Hamilton I purchased 5 Coupons for $25 a coupon.The price they wanted and I have prepaid $125.00 I gave them my money interest free (until I purchase from them).They give me 2/1 dollar wise

Even if I sold the coupons Ba's will not be losing out on anything? They still have the commitment to honour the coupons no?

I see no business scam I feel you miss spoke? :(

As for making money on the coupons, well this is a capital system and I am sure anyone wanting to buy something at ba's would gladly give someone $200 cash for certificate's with a $250 value no?

I would like to know who is getting hurt? the poor bugger that is buying a $300 light for his tank and just saved $50 by meeting someone at ba's?
Is Ba's getting hurt by the coupons being used in their store? I think that the mission is accomplished no?

I think you are trying to impose your values on someone else no?
 
WagJag Sucks ~~~ Beware of WagJag

so now just waiting to hear back from wagjag ..... they do not even have a number but only an email and fax number..... let's see how it works out
Just wanted to update you on this very difficult experience dealing with Wagjag (not BA Hamilton).

So after Wagjag double charged my credit card, I tried to contact them by their official channel using info@wagjag.com and fax number (THEY DO NOT HAVE A REAL PHONE NUMBER TO CALL ~~~). After trying for a week, 4 emails and 1 fax later, we have heard absolutely NOTHING from them, no acknowledgement or even a simple - "we are looking into it".

At this time, we are pretty sure that this wagjag company is fishy, what kind of real eCommerce company does not respond your inquiries for a week and HIDE all their real phone numbers (only provide email & fax). As a last resort, we have decided to post 18 different post on their various WagJag location Facebook pages and hopefully somebody internal can help.

Finally Mike from WagJag Durham jumped in and offer to contact WagJag internally for us; that was very thankful & appreciated as it is not even his region's deal. NOW we realize that Wagjag is not really a central website, each location operates as its own little division; frankly as customer - you WagJag is WagJag, I don't care how your company organize their business units or eat commission. Where does the info@wagjag.com email goes to?? What were the WagJag Hamilton people when you need them??? They were very happy to take my money from my credit card and have their commission.

Finally we get our double charged refunded after Mike's help to contact somebody internally.

Would I use WagJag again ???? PROBABLY NOT .... unless BA Scar/Mississiaga/Oakville is having 50% coupon again ... now that's tempting.

As a eCommerce site having such poor customer service and ignoring customer is unbelievable, and hiding behind just an email & fax is totally fishy. Everybody Groupon, TeamBuy, RFD one - emails and responses are answered within 24 hours.
 
Was the credit card company contacted? It should be simple enough to contact them and tell them you've been charged twice for one transaction and have them resolve it easily.

I'm not trying to impose anything on anyone. I just mentioned an alternative way to have more money. You read way far into a simple comment. And perhaps "scam" was a poor choice of words.

No problem ;)
