McWilliams Wine Club

Post by Diddy »

Hi all,

I noticed that I've just been charged ~$200+ on my credit card by what looks to be the McWilliam's wine club.

I haven't made a purchase from them since December 2016 and certainly have never been on their wine club before!

Anyone else experience anything like this?

I'm sure a quick phone call will (should) sort it out, just keen to hear with it was something systemic or not...

Thats just straight up not legitimate. I had the same thing happen last year - unexpected charge from a vendor I had used before, they knew nothing about it, so credit card cancelled.

Call McWilliams to confirm and then go through the whole credit card cancellation process :(

Yeah our cc was apparently booking motel rooms and hire car in the USA and diet pills before we cancelled it
Sort it out :!:

So by way of update, I spoke to a very helpful staff member yesterday who confirmed they had processed the transaction on the belief I was (or intended to be) a member of their wine club.

It was very odd that the basis of this belief was a comment in a December 2015 email between me and them asking if I could get access to member's pricing whilst on the mailing list!

Anyway, all's well that ends well - they've refunded the transaction. I'll put this one down to administrative error!
