I spent over 2 hours trying to become a customer. I'm in the medical field and know that there is no contraindication for me to take a pill for ED. Without ever speaking to a doctor I was told I am not appropriate for their Friday Plan. Their phone bank is overseas so talking to them is difficult. I tried to buy the least expensive way in find out if the product would work for me. Didn't happen.

Hi Mike, I am sorry to hear this. Unfortunately, FridayPlans and its customer service team has no control or influence over medical provider decisions. That being said, your payment method was never charged and the medical consultation was free of charge.

Two months ago I ordered a #4 value meal with a diet coke. The meal was $6.89 plus tax as stated on the sign. I was not offered any upsizing. At the window I paid over $8. I knew this was wrong but left. Next time I order the same meal and got the same treatment. I went to the window and got a refund. The manager apologized for the problem. Third time I was asked if I wanted a medium or large. I said, "I want what is on the sign". The sign does not have any info about a medium or large and there are no other prices posted. They gave me a large and it cost over $8. I asked the person at the window giving out the food "are you trained to upsize every meal"? The person did not speak but smiled and nodded emphatically "yes". I have done this seven times and the result is the same each time. They may ask you if you want a medium or large but you are never asked if you want what is on the marquee. The price on the marquee is a small for $6.89. Even when I say I want what is on the marquee, they will up size it. Sooo, if you want your money back you have to park and go to the window. They will apologize and refund your money. So much for it being a fast-food place.
This is not a franchise; it is a corporate office. The employees are being trained by the owners to be deceptive and cheat their customers on a regular basis. I did this seven times because I wanted to be certain that this is not an aberration. I did not want this to be true.
This isn't about the food. This is about corporate integrity.

Tip for consumers:
Don't go there unless you want a medium or large.

Purchased a PC for $506 on July 6,2021. Also bought a $25 extended 1 year warranty. It went bad in December. Thank goodness I bought the extra warranty. I called and left a very specific message about my problem. No response. Sooo, I sent an email about my problem. No response. Just paid $329 to get a replacement for the bad 1TB SSD. Had to buy a 500MB because of the costs. They sold me an extended warranty. I totally understand about the SSD going bad. I do not accept their behavior regarding the extended warranty. This shows how little respect they have for us. They deserve my distain and a bad review for stealing from me.
Also they don't tell you that the wifi connecter is a Chinese dongle that came apart in my hand and had to be replaced immediately and that there is no Blue Tooth.

Tip for consumers:
They have a 90 day guarantee. My extended warranty obviously didn't work.

Gave them a one star years ago. They are much better now in most aspects. Pleased to see it. I would give five stars but they now force vets to download their app to get the discount.

Tip for consumers:
each store has a couple of hardware freaks that work there. Find out who they are and meet them. Find out when they are working and that's when you should shop. It will save you time and money.

Consistently bad. Never out of character. Lazy unhelpful employees as a rule. Good employees don't last to long there.

I wanted to buy product from this vendor that sells on Amazon and Walmart. I called 10 times over a three hour period. Each time I was the next in line to speak to both sales and support. An hour of waiting and never was able to speak to anyone.

Products used:
Could never get through to the company.

Bill Poulos Profits Run/Instant Options Income
This is my personal experience with the weekly options trading platform only.
I am an inexperienced options trader that purchased the program after listening to Mr. Poulos explain the program. He told me exactly what I wanted to hear, and I was very excited to purchase the program and begin using it. I am profoundly disappointed to report that it does not work as Mr. Poulos presents it.
The time frame is August 10th through December 22nd, (4 ½ months). I funded my account with TD Ameritrade with $8000 and followed his directions explicitly. The guarantee is that you may get a refund for any reason within 60 days. You can also get a refund after trading for one year if you send him all of your trading confirmations and your Welcome Packet. First off, 60 days isnt long enough to know if the program works so I ignored that deadline. Secondly, I did not open my welcome packet for almost a month, and when I did open it the box was empty.
He does not do any business on the phone. Everything is done on email. There are a lot of different trading platforms and you must figure it out for yourself how to translate his recommendations into actual trades.
So what happens when you follow his recommendations? Mostly frustration. Your trades will not fill. He may very well have a track record of winning trades that is over 70% but you dont make any money if your trade doesnt fill. He occasionally addresses this online by telling you to be patient. He says that about half of your orders will fill over a period of a year. This week there were four options recommended and I had two of the four options fill, both lost money and to date I am over $4000 down. Add that to the $2500 I have given to Mr. Poulson and I have a $6500 deficit after only 4 1/2 months.
What he tells you in his sales pitch is not an outright lie. He is guilty of omission. He doesnt give you all the facts.
What you get on a regular basis are more sales pitches to buy more of his other programs. He uses the same sales pitch to sell more programs. He tells you how tired you must be of using the same old program that just doesnt work. He is correct. But the problem is that its the program I purchased from him that doesnt work.
Being an incurable optimist, I still think there may be a way to make money with the weekly options by buying spreads. I wanted what he was selling, simplicity and very little time expense. Not happening.

I purchased a download based upon info they supplied. The product was not usable on my device and I requested a refund. In broken English they said no and sent me a separate page of specs that were not available at the time of the sale. They also redirected the sale away from PayPal (without me knowing it). Because of that I cannot get a refund. Smart crooks. Finally got a refund. Because of Pay Pal.

Out of ten people only two accurate addresses and one phone number that hasn't been disconnected. One person was listed as still running a business that closed five years ago. If you want old, old, old info this is the place for you.
