They own an app that was used for SmoothieKing. My account was hacked in 7/2023 and 1/2024. My bank flagged the charges in January which prompted me to go look in the app cause I no longer patronize SmoothieKing. I reviewed the transaction history and lo and behold unbeknownst to me I was charged $239 total between charges from 7/1 *******, 7/2Texas, 7/2 *******, 7/2Georgia and 2 charges 7/5 in ******. None of which the company will refund me! I was charged another $163 in ********. The company refuses to cooperate to refund and make things right. This is a known mass issue that affected 100s of people even the employees. SmoothieKing recently changed from LevelUp as of 2/22 from what I was informed after I called to get a refund again! I WANT MY MONEY BACK!!!! 402 totalInitial Complaint

My credit card was charged with a LevelUp Kung Fu Tea order on 12.08.23 for $75.81 through a GrubHub order placement. I don't have a GrubHub account. What is even more aggravating is the person who hacked into GrubHub did not have my address or my zip code. Somehow this charge went through and I had to work with my credit card company to reverse the charge. LevelUp really needs to actually confirm the owner of the account is using his/her credit card to place an order. Fraud is taking place via GrubHub and they aren't at the forefront of resolving the issue.Customer response

On 01/09/24, I saw a charge on my account for 01/09/24 from Level Up for Smoothie King. I contacted Level Up and confirmed that this transaction was in a completely different state. The patron who received the product had the same name, but my bank was charged. They would not issue a refund.Initial Complaint

Years ago I would use the LevelUp mobile ordering app for restaurants. Out of nowhere they canceled my account and any associated with it for no reason - meaning I could now no longer order from any restaurant using their service. I reached out several times to their customer service and was only provided with a generic answer that "the pause was due to an automated security safety protocol and would not be restored". Now fast forward a few years, the app has been bought by Grubhub I believe and there are still restaurants I cannot pre-order from. I reached out once again and was given the same response! I do not understand what the situation is, and the fact that not a single person will even help me is the most infuriating!! It's as if I'm talking to a robot and not humans -- I even tried calling customer service and they flat out refuse like I'm some kind of criminal (which I'm not by the way lol). I just want my accounts either deleted or restored so that I can order from restaurants!! I'm a full time working mom, I rely on apps like this for lunches and dinners on the go!!! This is absolutely insane. I even created a new account with a different email address and they deactivated that one as well. I just want an answer!!! Documents of their email responses provided. Note for some reason their customer service team shows up as ****************Initial Complaint

After spending many hours, and some money, I was close to earning tickets (worth $500). All of a sudden it looked like my progress towards the tickets went backwards. I emailed the company twice over two weeks ago and have not gotten a response. I went to check my progress today and it's ALL gone now. So frustrating to spend all this time and not even receive a response from the company. I love earning points from surveys etc but I will never use this company again.Customer response

On July 14, 2023, I received an email from ******************************************* at 4:51 pm basically saying telling me that my password may have been compromised in Kung Fu Tea. I then received another email at 4:51 pm again from the same email saying that the email I have on file has been changed. Then a couple minutes later I get a notification that my card was charged $33.33 for Kung fu Tea. I downloaded the app to try to view the receipt myself and flag it. My email no longer worked and they thought I was a new user. I responded to the email mentioned above to say that I didnt authorize an email change and I would like to be refunded for the charge. I have not heard a response back yet. I also did some research I discovered that this has been a common complaint for many people in regard to level up (grubhub) and kung fu tea.Customer response

So there was this too good to be true advertisement of this company giving out gift card from $10-$1000 once completed a requirements of either downloading an app or signing up for free or small fee from selected products/companies. I patiently did everything and reached level 5 which I was eligible for $250 **. When I tried to claim the rewards, there goes the unbelievable requirements of proof of identification. PASSPORT? DRIVER'S LICENSE? STATE ISSUED ID? First of all, this company is not a federal or state to asks this sensitive info. And since we're in the high tech world, I'm sure they can detect of multiple claims has been filed. They're already sharing our personal info with the companies they're promoting and apps that are required to download. So why does they need to invade so much privacy? This is just too much for them for a small amount of **! Send in the ** virtually to the email address that's been used by your consumer from the beginning. I paid some subscriptions, I spent numerous hours to finish the games you required to reach certain levels. Just give your consumer what they deserved without invading too much on their privacy!Initial Complaint

On April 8, 2023 at 5:14PM, I ordered a whole chicken and a order of honey garlic for pick up at the ******************** bb.q chicken location through the bb.q website on my phone. Order # *********. Total was $65.68. I minimized the window, turned my screen off and put my phone away. Apparently, a minute later the same order was placed without my authorization. I didn't have my phone on and I only hit submit one time for the previous order. Order # *********, same total. This was placed at 5:15. This order was not authorized or placed by me. Prior to ordering, I put the order in my cart to see the estimated wait time. ***** minutes later, I decided to order, but saw my cart was empty and used the past orders tab to order what I wanted. This may explain the glitch on their website. Regardless, the second order was not placed by me.Customer response
