Payroll Premier Rip off!

Suzanne DiStefano

We received an email from Reckon today offering Payroll Premier renewal for 50% discount.  We had already paid our renewal of $630 as we have done every year for the last 15 years or so so I was surprised to see an offer emailed directly to me making an offer of 50% off for first year and 25% off for second year.  I called Reckon to inquire as to why I wasn't offered this when I first renewed and was advised by the team member that was only valid if I didn't renew since 2016.  So I challenged him and said that so if I didn't renew annually and saved the money, I could now have it for half price. I pointed out to him how this was absurd logic and response to the email.  I asked for my a refund for half the amount but was denied.  So now I have to take it further.  Very disappointing way to treat a long term loyal customer.  Below is the email.

Change to Reckon One - $7 per month. I’ve had no problems with that, neither has a friend who changed from Payroll Premier early in the year after many years of Premier

Businesses run offers to customer segments all the time. Our business does the same thing, its not exactly something to get up in arms about. You do have the option to simply not take up their offer.

We had already paid our renewal of $630 when the renewal note was sent on the 20th May.  This offer came out after we had renewed.  It should at least be applied retrospectively.
