CCBill's $750 VISA Registration fee scam
I know many here swear by CCBill. I ended up using them because they seemed honest enough.
Here's the policy:
You have to pay $750 to get your VISA account setup. If you are not approved, you get your $750 back. The contract states that the application process takes 5-7 business days.
Here's the catch:
If your application is still in processing after 2 weeks, you still can't get your money back because it's still in processing....
If your application is still in processinga fter 200 years, you still can't get your money back because it's still in processing...
I tried to get them to refund that application (my credit sucks, I'm not surprised it wasn't approved) fee. They offered to turn on VISA for me but at this point I smelled the rat and saw the catch in their contract I have noted above. They would NOT refund the money because the application hadn't been turned down yet. When I asked when they could return the money they evaded the question and tried to talk me into looking into their affiliate programs.
Here's a word to the wise - get someone else if you are just starting out and have crap for credit because VISA will not approve the account AND CCBill will never tell you the status of the application if you aren't approved.
