At least I got $20 living social dollars out of this. I'd recommend calling living social and complaining

Living social had nothing to do with it?  I don't remember.  Either way iirc the argument was to avoid bad pr.  I guess it's a bit too late for that
It was more about Fairmont saving their rep and standing by their word (even if LS did mess them over) than LS saving their rep.  I just helped put their feet by the fire.

If AJM doesn't care about their rep (and from online reviews they clearly don't) the I'm afraid there's nothing I'll be able to accomplish.
Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.

Just got this email from LS:

Unfortunately, we just learned that AJ Madison is no longer able to honor vouchers and we'll have to cancel this deal. We hate to be the bearer of bad news, but want to assure you that your purchase will be fully refunded. Please note: it may take up to five to seven business days for the transaction to appear on your credit/debit card statement.

I once worked at a Jewish online electronics retailer who also did not care what the customer base said. at the high point there were 75 employees. After suffering from bad reviews all over the web, business took a real hit. When i left - about two year later - only 23 employees were left.

I live in Cle and bought all my appliances from them when I moved here. I saved hundreds of dollars! That being said, I knew exactly what I wanted and knew what I was getting into. I would not recommend anyone buying from them unless you go in there with open eyes. Although after this debacle I would be hard pressed to purchase from them again.

I am a Jew and I own a business and I very much care about customer service. All in all you won't find more honest people to deal with in business than Jews. Yes, there are those who are dishonest but you will find that everywhere with people of all race and religion.

Does anyone know if living social is refunding ALL purchased coupons or just the unused CANCELLED ones?
Common sense is not a gift, it is a punishment.
Because you have to deal with everyone who doesn't have it.
