Rip Off!
May 3, 2022

I joined ChristianMingle 1 day ago. As soon as I paid for premium membership. My account got suspended for suspension activities. My profile was still pending. They showed a more expensive monthly membership when it was a less expensive membership. I found this out once I went into my settings and subscriptions on my iPhone. Day 2 and I'm still locked out of my account. They sent me a email asking for my name dob and card last 4 digits and when I opened the link to fill out the information it took me right back to login information. Of course, I can't login smh..

I will give this no starts i agree dating sites are ruined by scammers all over the world all they want is your credit card details not you. All fake profiles fake pictures photoshopped even the free dating sites notice the difference on a paid dating site you get tonnes of mail.
On a free dating site mail 0 its a greedy world save your money go out and meet the girls seeing is believing

Money Grabbing.
January 13, 2023

I don't think I ever interacted with a real person that I was trying to meet. The site has symbols that you can press to show your type of interest but when you message a person as I did multiple times with multiple people you never get a response on how to meet or exchange telephone numbers. Out of all the messages that I sent I would expect at least one response from someone. The site doesn't want you to meet or you wouldn't need them anymore they just want you to keep paying.

Stay away! I considered signing up for an account. I created my profile and 24+ hours later it is still pending. Meanwhile, every time I visit the site to check on the status, I get a "We are experiencing network problems, please try again." I even opened a help support ticket and NO RESPONSE. I decided to open a support ticket and receive a response 48 HOURS later. Meanwhile, when I go to my inbox, it directs me to an "Upgrade Your Account" page -- when I should be able to view my inbox for free as normal. This dating site is NOT WORTH YOUR MONEY. They are slow and unresponsive. And if it takes that long to get a profile up, you can bet your pains have just begun. Go elsewhere.

I've been on this site before and it was okay. I took a break and coming back, it really sucks. I have tried multiple times to subscribe so I can read my messages and it wont work. I called customer service and the guy just shrugged it off and said call the bank. He didnt try at all to find the issue. I knew the bank wasnt the problem but I called anyway, and its not the problem. Called customer service again and could only get voicemail. I'm not quitting yet because there seems to be decent people there but it is very aggravating.

Used to be good
November 27, 2023

I went on this site in 2014 at the strong suggestion of my counselor. It was nice--met a few nice ladies, had a few dates, one relationship or two, and made friends as well.

Ehem--then I returned in 2020. It was overrun by scammers--I'd stopped looking for love and ran out my subscription by reporting fake profiles, as many as 30 a day. I lost count. Then after a month, customer service told me my account had been hacked and I'd been locked out--and how? I have no idea--but when I called customer service about it they told me and then a dude with a strong Middle Eastern accent told me if I paid Christian Mingle $200, they'd fix my account. So let me get this straight--a useless site with no vetting hacks my account which hasn't given me any value at all, and they want me to pay them an additional $200 to fix it so I can spend more time on their useless site?

Nope--I hadn't met anyone on that site since 2015, so I politely told them no, lost a month or so of my subscription but was fed up. What happened to this site?

*******@gmail.com claims to be 57, born in Germany, has two daughters, wife died in a horrific car accident 5 years ago. He is supposedly a Petroleum Engineer that works in the Gulf of Mexico. Sure.
He won't divulge his last name, when and where he graduated from college. It states on his profile Kennessaw University in Georgia. He won't answer direct questions. Red flags for sure!

The next on is Soccerdad using *******@aol.com and he wants a relationship and sends a video of a helicopter taking people to an offshore rig. Really? Deleted him as well.

99% SCAMMERS
May 15, 2022

There are so many Fake Profiles, Liars and Scammers it's not worth the time, money and effort. I had better results on a Free Site like Plenty of Fish. All sites have their percentage of phony characters so DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY on Christian Mingle where 99% of the listings are scammers.

Although I have indicated a 200km distance and an age of 59-73 I received countless smiles and hearts from men un in their 30s and 40s from all over North America. This was a total waste of money and time.

I tried updating my bio to include my personal website so people could get into contact with me on there stating that I didn't have the $80-$90/year to pay for messaging and they denied my request to add that into my bio stating in an email:

"You recently submitted your profile for approval. It has now been reviewed. Some of the content was removed as it contained:

Contact Information - We ask that you please keep from posting your email address, instant messenger info, or any other contact information in your profile. To communicate with other members you can use Mingle Mail which protects your anonymity."

"To protect your anonymity"? Sounds more like they just want to make money off of you. I'd never recommend this to any Christian because of how greedy these people are

Luke 16:14 The Pharisees, who loved money, heard all this and were sneering at Jesus He said to them, You are the ones who justify yourselves in the eyes of others, but God knows your hearts. What people value highly is detestable in Gods sight.

I signed up, thinking "why not try". In 24 hours they offered two guys who did NOT meet my parameters. I cancelled the service within 24 hours of signing up, but boy did they KEEP my $150. This had to be the worst. I've tried eHarmony, Elite Singles and Match. I'm a busy professional woman who has a very successful career, and hopefully I'll be a great "Catch" for someone. NO TRIAL PERIOD - THEY KEEP YOUR MONEY BUT DON'T HOLD UP TO THEIR END OF THE CONTRACT. Run away, run fast!

Frustrating
August 1, 2019

Recommendations are of people out of my requested range, not of the same race, body size, nothing. Doesn't make sense - why ask me my preferences?
Also - too expensive
Website is slow to load.

It is a Scam

A scam, about 80% of the women posted have not logged in for over two months. I have never ever received even an acknowledgement that I sent a message, not one.

Very Disappointed
April 4, 2022

I wish I could write a balanced review of the Christian Mingle dating website. Unfortunately I cannot. I had the premium membership for 3 months and honestly can not believe how negative my experience was. The biggest issue is that they do NOT verify people are who they say they are. I estimate between 80-90 percent (no joke) of the people who reached out to me were NOT who they say they were. Many of them asked for my phone number and other personal information and wanted to communicate outside of the app. When I contacted Christian Mingle about the issue, they said there was nothing they could do and I just had to trust my gut feeling. Also, I got hundreds of "smiles" from men all over the US and Canada. I'm not interested in anyone outside of 100 miles from my home in SW Florida. When I inquired, they said there was no way to filter by distance. When I went out to search for men within 150 miles of my home, there were no matches within my area which is crazy because I live near Ft. Myers which is a highly populated major city. After 3 months, I haven't met a single legitimate person to even have coffee with. Wow! VERY disappointed in Christian Mingle.

Catfish Bait
October 21, 2022

Signed up this afternoon temporarily for "free" and immediately got 9 emails. I'm an old white man and the first one I received had the photo of a young black woman. I didn't read it, but immediately tried to get into my account to delete my profile. I couldn't get in, but found Christian Mingle's phone number and called them. A young lady cust. Svce. Rep. Was very cordial and supposedly deleated the profile for me. She also said she would send me an email to confirm the cancallation. I didn't get the email so I called back. A young man answered and comfirmed that my account had been deleated, but the confirming email could take up to 48 hours.
It has been a half hour since the last one email came in so I guess the acct. Was deleated.

BAD SITE! I guess that's why you don't see their ads on TV anymore.

Absolutely a scam
August 31, 2021

I've been on this site for about four or five days and I've received smiles from women that are supposedly living in the USA but I'm looking at the photos and I can see that they've stolen someone's photos from Instagram or Facebook and most of these fake $#*! profiles are coming from $#*!hole countries out of west Africa, third world countries like the Philippines and Thailand. I advise men and women to be cautious when using this site and also check the photos, if the $#*! has only one photo on her profile photo then it's a scam or ask her if she's living in the USA, that site is full of scam artist. Trust me because I see it everyday and then the $#*! will remove her profile after I call them out on it.
