For the last 5 months VP has been changing me from $17.41 -20.95 for whatever. I haven't placed an order with thme for over a year.
Last month I caught it and cancel my card and then today I got a bank statement with another charge. Of course VP said that they cant do anything about it that I need to talk to my bank.

Okay. so Vista print will be crediting my bank 95.75. My bank is going to give me credit for only one trans. I'm so upset but at least I'll get some money back.
 
I've read about this. Apparently there's a pop-up that comes up for some people offering a $10 credit and if you click on it, it signs you up for something....I can't remember ever seeing it but I'm glad you got it cleared up!!

YES. There was one special that came up (not as a pop-up) after I ordered. I clicked on it looking for more info, not realizing that clicking on it automatically added it to my previous order and automatically charged my card for the new amount! Be careful!
