Buyer Beware: Reserve America / Active Advantage

[Freightguy]

Just a PSA for you. I recently got a charge on my credit card fr $89.95 to a company called Active.com for their advantage membership. I had no idea who they were but I have found their parent company may own Reserve America and the charge came from a reservation I made in FL using RA.
This is very disturbing to me that the Florida State Park dept would allow this to happen as well as Reserve America.
Also, I made another reservation in RA to see if there was a check box I missed that caused the transaction, but there was no such box or any notification or mention of Active.com
I just got off the phone with Active to cancel this and they did it with no issue since I called them the next business day.
Happy Camping.

We went through the same thing earlier this year booking through Reserve America for a Florida State Park.

Yikes. I dislike this stuff to the highest degree. Hidden charges and "memberships" that you didn't ask for or know anything about. I booked a site at Topsail in FL just a few months ago for 2020, and will be checking for this!

I do review all charges on my CC and would have noticed something like this but will still review it tonite.

thanks!

Also FYI; They tried to deflect blame to me for not seeing their emails stating I started a free trial that would turn to a paid membership. But all their emails went to my junk folder expect the one stating I had just been charged.
