So if you see on your credit card or debit card statement: WLI*RESERVATIONREWARDS.CO (with a phone number, 800-732-7031 -- at first it seemed odd that they gave their number so readily - but you'll see that this is how their 'business' survives and thus you should avoid using it), then you have been hit. You could call them to complain and demand a refund -- they'll give it -- far too easily for a legitimate company. Do not give them any more information -- they wanted my credit card # and other info! Insist that their behaviour is illegal and that they should not have any of your information and that you certainly will not provide them with more. Note that they will tell you that they sent you emails, that you agreed to this, etc. Of course none of this is true, so do not wonder if you just missed something and thus hesitate to dispute it. Then call your bank/credit card company as well to complain about Webloyalty.com. However, it may be better *not* to call Webloyalty.com , but rather to call your financial institution and insist that your card has been fraudulently used and that you cannot get a refund from the company. Then *they* will have to spend the time/money pursuing the matter, and in time, will eventually take legal action -- but not if we do that work for them, especially since Webloyalty.com seems to so easily provide refunds. I only realized this after getting my refund, when I then called my Visa card company to alert them -- they did not seem overly concerned since I was so easily offered a refund. I have no doubt the credit card company will do nothing now.

Webloyalty.com got my credit card number when I ordered tickets on movietickets.com, but other reported 'contaminated' sites include expedia.com, for example. If you read Adam Rosi-Kessel's weblog, you will see that at least some of these vendors are completely oblivious to the problem, which seems to be linked to the card processing company used (e.g. www.virtualcart.com), though obviously a web store should do its due diligence in contracting out such important services, and should examine their sites more carefully. If you ask Webloyalty.com, they will even tell you through which site they obtained your number. You should complain to this host site, as they should be notified and are participating in this sham, either passively, or not ( yahoo!store recommends to webstores to get this Reservation Rewards 'service' to increase traffic on their sites, and to make a buck. I emailed them to complain but never received a response. Likewise, I emailed movietickets.com to complain, and never got a response).
