I was really please with Cover Letter Now. I called to cancel my service and spoke with Boris. He was very polite and understanding. Not only did he cancelled the service for me but I also received my refund and extended time to use the service, if needed. I will recommend this service to anyone I know. Thanks to you Cover Letter Now!

“Not "Free" as advertised”

Don't advertise as a "free cover letter" when it's not actually free, and put the price actual price somewhere visible. This is false advertising.

Site says free cover letter templates but at the end you charge. Very misleading

Yashira H. – Cover Letter Now Rep

We’d like to clarify that our basic access accounts allow you to create and download a plain text version using our examples and tips, Teena.

However, if you would like to download, print or email a professionally formatted version of your new document using our copyrighted templates in a PDF or Word format you’ll need to subscribe first for a small fee which we offer a 14-day trial option.

In addition, we do grant a 100% money-back guarantee for our trial fee if you are not satisfied with the end result!.

They offer a 100% money-back guarantee for the trial fee if the customers is not completely satisfied!
I spoke to two agents from cover letter now and tried to explain my disappointment. They avoid to answer your question and argue with the complete service the money back guarantee is a lie. I have to pay at the end $50 for two cover letters. So be careful with cover letter now.

Tip for consumers:
Do not use this service at all

We're very sorry for any confusion, Andres, but after reviewing your account it seems that the trial period expired back in May 2021, meaning that you are not eligible for a refund.

Please know that this policy is only available during your 14-day trial period once this time expires we do not process refunds on any recurring charge as explained in your welcoming email picture and our terms.

With this in mind, if you need any assistance in regards to this matter please contact our Customer Service Team for assistance using the link provided below.

I tried this to create a resume for free as a trial and actually got the resume I wanted. I even included a cover letter for a nominal amount of $2+. All of this knowing that there is NO subscription. However, when I checked my credit card lately, I discovered that I was being charged MONTHLY, for 3 months already, for $23.85 each month. I do not think that I need a monthly service for a resume that I will be reusing over and over. When I logged in to the account to check why I am being charged, I saw there that I have a monthly subscription. Prior to calling their representative to clarify this, I checked my emails for receipts or any documentation regarding the billing and subscription. I did not find any. What I found are just notifications of the creation of my resume and the different cover letters that I made. I got suspicious now and I called the website. But before the call, I canceled the "subscription" just so I won't be charged again, and printed the cancellation page. The person I talked to claimed that I have agreed to all the terms and was sent copies of those agreements. I asked if he could forward those to me so I can examine them but he refused and just said that I have copies, in a dismissive way. He offered me to cancel my subscription and I said, "Wait, it's not canceled yet? I just canceled it prior to talking to you." He asked me if I have a confirmation number for the cancellation and I checked my printout. On the supposed cancellation page, it was not really a cancellation but an offer of other options with different amounts and you still have to call them to fully cancel. I pointed out to him that their business is being deceptive by making a client run through hoops thinking he is doing everything right and completely, only to realize later that the steps were intentionally confusing, misleading, and halfway done to disguise their business practices so you will still end up subscribing and not canceling. Never again. Beware.

Unclear on intent. You spend your time then they hold your work ransom for 3 bucks... then they take 24 dollars a month from you if you dont catch it. And while its all technically legal... its a nasty way to conduct business.

I paid for 2 cover letters when it is says clearly that for one time payment you have access to unlimited downloads for 3 months. When I tried to download the second cover letter it ask me to pay again. I paid again because I'm in a hurry, I need to apply for a job right now, I don't have time to call you, but I believe you are liars and thieves.

Will charge you the full year's subscription every 4 weeks until you go to cancel, only then do they offer to charge $4 a month.
Ridiculous scam ethic.

Thumbnail of user yashirah2
Yashira H. – Cover Letter Now Rep

Our apologies for any misunderstanding, Hannah, however, all users must agree to our terms upon registration since we display this before you submit a purchase.

To clarify, all of our subscriptions are auto-renewing, as we have a continuous billing feature that charges your credit card on file after your trial expires and every month afterward unless you choose to cancel your subscription beforehand.

Since there was no cancellation request sent before the end of the initial period, your account rolled into a monthly subscription at the regular price. The auto-renewal information is listed in multiple areas such as the sales page, the payment information page, on the payment confirmation page and lastly on your welcoming email which confirms your 14-day trial purchase in addition to a detailed overview of your new subscription.

That being said, we hope that this helps clear out any confusion and if you have any other questions or concerns just simply contact our Customer Service Team for immediate assistance using the link provided below.

My husband and I spent a rather large portion of our time with the assumption that if there was a fee, it would have been clearer at the start. Needless to say we are not pleased. Also, I had to only get the 14 day trial rather than the month for $7.95 and not be told on the next screen JUST KIDDING ITS 95.00$'s... we more than likely would have been much more interested and appreciate the transparency...
