I did some quick research on the company's owners, Lynda and Stewart Resnick. At first glance, they don't seem like nice people. In 2002, they even sued the estate of Princess Diana (former wife of Charles). The family of Princess Diana called them "vultures".
Here is the story.

And I might add, if they took on the Royal family it doesn't seem that they would have any problem attacking the "little" guy.

Ask why I could not have one and got this in response....

We will no longer be sending out coupons. This post has forced us to change our policy: http://forum.smartcanucks.ca/51239-p...-email-canada/.

Hmm, I never knew that the perfect marketing strategy in life is to release a very small limited amount of coupons and then make people beg on their knees for more. Afterwards, the plan is to turn the tables around and accuse others (the consumer) as being "greedy" and trying to collect a lot of coupons, or discussing it so others may take advantage of it.

So does their new policy involve attacking consumers over the internet, then the phone next too?

I never buy pom juice.
i love pomegranates tho, I just eat em fresh.

There are other brands of pomegranate juice out there, sometimes you can find them in the health food section.
Often Iranian and Afghani grocery stores with have 100% pomegranate juice in 1 litre tetra packs.

After reading this, I will definitly stay away from pom products.

Since we are in Canada, we can contact Globaltv reporter Sean O'Shea about this.
He specializes in fighting for the "little" guy.

Sean O'Shea

Investigative/Consumer Reporter

Global TV

Sean O'Shea fights for viewers in his consumer action segment Consumer SOS.

A passionate advocate for consumer rights, O'Shea has exposed scores of scams. He has helped viewers recover tens of thousands of dollars in over-billed or wrongfully charged services.

Sean O'Shea


In 2005, O'Shea won a national Radio Television News Directors Association (RTNDA) award for best in-depth investigative reporting for a story on a criminal who continued to run an illegal telemarketing operation while behind bars at the Toronto Jail. The story led to more than 40 criminal charges against the convict and caused a review of detention procedures in the Ontario prison system. O'Shea was recognized for his work and awarded the same national prize in 1994 for his investigative reporting that documented the malpractice treatment of a Windsor, Ontario man who was wrongly prescribed medication for HIV/AIDS when he did not have the disease.

In Consumer SOS, O'Shea works to investigate, uncover and expose fraud and unfairness. He also cuts through the advertising hype to give viewers clear insights into getting the best value in consumer products and services.

A native of Calgary, O'Shea attended Carleton University in Ottawa and later received a B.A. in Journalism from the University of Regina in 1984. He launched his television career with CBC News, where he reported and anchored. In 1987, O'Shea joined Global News in Toronto, where his reporting has included federal and provincial election campaigns, the U.S. and Haitian elections, two space shuttle missions, and Canada's peacekeeping efforts in Cyprus. O'Shea also served as the station's business reporter/anchor.

O'Shea is married to a former journalist and has two daughters.

You can contact him below. I highly suggest Clarebear and others who were attacked do this.

Pom Wonderful are harassing Smart Canucks members. This is unacceptable and I will be emailing them.

clarebear had good intentions and this kind of harassment is unacceptable.

Until Pom Wonderful contact me [email protected] apologizing and saying they will not be harassing us or mentioning our member's name in every reply, I ask each and every one of you to please never buy any of their products again.

Please help us by contacting them at [email protected] and asking them to STOP harassing our members.


This is regarding the original post:
I emailed Pom Wonderful last Tuesday and today I received 2 FPC's and 4 $1 off coupons in the mail. I just emailed the following address and requested coupons. They were happy to send them out.

Apparently they emailed the member who posted this with threats and were very rude. All she was trying to do is help promote their products :-(

Email sent...It really irks me when these companies do this

I don't think anyone mentioned anything about SC, I think they just figured it out. If you google pom wonderful, SC is the 4th result.

[JeLLo2775]

Isn't this the same thing? Just an observation....

Nor will I ever try/buy this POM juice.

JeLLo

What I meant was you say in your email to POM that CB doesn't deserve to have her name mentioned in an email...but you did just that...you mentioned her name....

just made me go hmmmm....

[JeLLo2775]

Another thought....perhaps we should thank POM...they are refusing to send out coupons but are referring potential new SCer's to our community by posting that link in their responses...LoL

POM was deliberately notified of this site and thread by an SC member who believed he was making the right decision.

This was posted on SC by one of the members here on this thread:

"We are customer service and we handle inquiries directly from consumers. We are not involved in the marketing projects such as ClubPOM. We appreciate the information you shared regarding the forum. Unfortunately, Clarebear has made it impossible for us to continue our generosity with product coupons.

Healthy Wishes,

Obviously something was said about this site/forum!
