Oct $1692 Sept $410 Aug $557 July $810 so probably if you do have big amounts built up not wise to do so as it does wipe out everything.

dcdfan Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 logged into TRU rewards to check if I had any rewards and got the "You have been identified as a reseller" pop up window. All balances 0'd out kind of funny as I hardly go there. Last order placed online was 6 months ago for Gallimimus traps. Don't truth, don't stack coupons or anything. Just shows you how random there systems are. Guess me and Geoffrey aren't friends anymore I got an email that I was identified as a reseller. I'm 100% positive it was from GT orders.

I did 1 order of 100 on this account back in July. I did the 800 on a friends account. 500 , 200 and 100. only thing I can think is Oct I travel a lot and hit Bricktobers from Nashville to FL. Have like 10 or 12 different stores on there. Maybe that is a flag, who knows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lodibricks Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 The GT set's name even has Trap in it and we didn't clue in. Wow, I can't believe that. I was sure you were joking about the pop-up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would imagine that would make sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would imagine that would make sense. could be, but with purchases that low not sure what one would be reselling. Think it would be more automated though of something that sets it off. If they look back to last year then I could understand as easily spent 15-20k last Oct. Just have different sources now and don't use them much anymore. Plus one of the 2 good ones closed here leaving the crappier one so that is another reason for decline in purchases from them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The larger orders were on an older account that hasn't been banned. The account that's not banned is also the account with the multiple TRU coupons in stores. BTW, I can not wait till this quote mess is fixed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darth_Raichu Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 So when will TRU realize that resellers are the the ones keeping them afloat (barely) 10 months out of the year ? 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm giving you a like because I really don't see how all these stores are staying in business... I've got three within reasonable driving distance (4th 2 hours away) and at least one of them is always dead. Doesn't make sense.... these aren't Starbucks where you have a teenie space and you can catch the casual "shopper." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toni8284 Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 Thanks for the heads up. I just used $800 reward that I was saving to buy the iPad pro. But now I still have around $3000 worth of point waiting for generate the reward. I used my tru credit card with my membership. And I haven't receive the pop up message yet (touch wood). Try to figure out how tru ban people. I spend around $10k per month using tru card. For the last 3 month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pseudoty Posted November 14, 2015 Share Posted November 14, 2015 I think since Synchrony took over the Rewards program in September they are the ones behind this not TRU. Has anyone gotten banned that wasn't using their TRU CC? Also , rumor has it you should keep you rewards balance below 50,000 points.

dday0606 Posted November 14, 2015 Share Posted November 14, 2015 I would guess it is only affecting non-credit card users. I'm an analyst for a major credit card issuer (not Synchrony) and I am almost certain they can't ban you from using your rewards earned from credit card purchases. The amount of red tape those two companies would have to go through to kill someone's reward points would be amazing. One call from that customer to the CFPB could make Synchrony liable for gigantic fines, whether it is hidden in a credit card disclosure or not. I can;t imagine it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deathofsuperman Posted November 14, 2015 Share Posted November 14, 2015 I can confirm this assumption. I got the ban from my original non-cc email, got an email talking about their policy and how rewards are for consumers and then saying my account is deactivated. I logged in and I got the same pop-up posted above. I later applied for the TRU Mastercard and a few purchases later, same email. But this time, when I log in, no pop up. Rewards are still being tacked on and operating as normal. It has been a month now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeffrey_Dollars Posted November 14, 2015 Share Posted November 14, 2015 im curious as to why anybody would not use a cc for tru? unless you regulary have gift cards that are more than 10% off? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
