I'm in, why not?
I hope they are like the Target boxes.I hope it is good sized samples and not a box of foils and peelies. I look forward to getting this.
Do you know whe Target does their box? I hope to get the next one!I'm in. I liked the Target box hopefully this will be similar.
Unfortunately no. There was one in the spring so I'll bet they will have one in the fall or winter.Do you know whe Target does their box? I hope to get the next one!
How does one generate a temporary CC number? With all the CC database compromises at the larger corporations it's got me carrying and spending more cash these days...I signed up - $5 and drugstore brands can be good! It really was too tempting although I kind of wish I was able to get a Target box instead.
When I signed up all of the pages were using https, but I do what I always do for new subs which is generate a temporary credit card number with a specific dollar limit just in case. Maybe they heard the complaints about the site not appearing secure and changed it?
I have Bank of America and they have a feature called ShopSafe. It allows you to generate a temporary card number and specify a dollar limit and an expiry date. I use it for all new subscriptions (usually generating one with enough money for one to three months for that sub) and then I can just update my payment info (or extend the dollar limit/expiry date for the temporary card) when the temp card expires for that sub. This also keeps me from getting into a bind with the subscription services that ignore cancellation requests and so forth.How does one generate a temporary CC number?

Thanks! I'm going to find out if Wells Fargo has it!I have Bank of America and they have a feature called ShopSafe.

I'm sure that a lot of the other large CC companies have something similar, so you might be able to look into it?
It doesn't help for in-person transactions, obviously, since you still need your card on you for those, but for Internet purchases it's fabulous.
@ I think when you purchased, you were already paying for the first box. So when you cancelled, you just cancelled any subsequent boxes *after* that. It bills you immediately for the first box. If you want to cancel, I would look at the fine print for a number or just call your banking or CC company. But I wouldn't worry about this service at all- I know you're not used to Walmart, and as much as I loathe what they've done to business in America, they aren't a fraudulent company- they're the biggest retailer in the world. That being said, if you don't feel comfortable, call your CC!looks like the billed me already even though I cancelled immediately. It was already approved and paid by the credit card.

Thanks for mentioning this temp credit card number . I see that my citi card has it and I have been using it. Great ideaI signed up - $5 and drugstore brands can be good! It really was too tempting although I kind of wish I was able to get a Target box instead.
