To those who are looking to join e Harmony, DO NOT waste your money. I paid $400 for one year Subscriptions because monthly is much more expensive. I wish they have cancellation policy even with a little fee I was going to be fine with it. I should have done more research before I paid. "You got what you pay for" doesn't apply on this site. Because of the high fee they probably don't have that many clients. It's ridiculous. I hardly have anyone send me the messages or trying to connect with me. I am not desperate, but no one, Come-on! After doing more digging, I saw lots of bad reviews on eHarmony. It's too late now. I wish they are out of business. I am beyond pissed for paying that money. I just want my money back. Other dating sites charged very little fee, I get over 500 likes and hundreds of messages in a few days. I am beyond pissed for paying that $400.

Silver Medal
August 1, 2017

EHarmony takes the silver medal from me. Brilliant dating site, just behind WeJustFit.com (my gold winner) and that's impressive believe me, take it from a guy who has tried at least ten sites this year alone!

I've never run into a scammer or a fake account. The extra questions are fun. Perhaps I'm just picky, and I feel bad passing over the majority of my few matches. A lot of them live too far away. Though I think some are being too harsh in their reviews, matching is tricky, the company can't force people to date you if they're not interested, and you can only be matched with who is there, not just anyone in the world...

That said, most of my matches were too old for me (even though I put a preference on age) and, sorry to be so mean, but looked like they had not touched a hairbrush or razor and live in their parent's basement.

EHarmony is the world's largest online dating service. It's a bit of a catch-all category, but I believe it has some distinguishing features. To begin, you can use eHarmony to look for people based on religion, ethnicity, and other factors. Second, they have a plethora of filters to assist you in narrowing down your search. Third, they provide relationship guidance and tools.

Eharmony was one of the first dating sites to use compatibility matching technology, which matches you with people who share your values and lifestyle interests. The company also provides its members with social networking features such as profiles, photo galleries, blogs, and chat rooms where they can discuss relationship-related topics.

Feeling good about eHarmony, been using the site for around a month and have a date set up with a really nice girl. A bit nervous to be honest as last date I had was through wejustfit.com a few weeks after I split with my ex girlfriend in March. Check the site out and run some searches, if you get good results then you'll be setting dates up like me in no time at all. Well worth it! Exciting times!

There's a lot to like about the online dating experience provided by eHarmony. I call it my Volvo site because it may not be the most stylish or what the cool kids are using, but its damn reliable. In fact, the only other dating experience that comes close in terms of arranging regular dates for me is wejustfit.com. But otherwise, you'll struggle to find a site as consistent. That's what I've found anyway.

Too many ghost accounts, very few active accounts, and way overpriced. Had the service for three months, met two women for a few dates each, out of 500 "matches". Talked with maybe 10 women in total.

It's just not worth it. I paid for a full subscription, and was completely disappointed by the lack of active accounts on the site. If eharmony can not find a way to clear out these old accounts or at least remove them from the matching list, then honestly, it's just a waste of time and money.

I thought paying for a subscription would limit me to only matches who are serious about finding a relationship. Eharmony failed in this regard.

Keep your money, and spend your time doing something else.

Don't waste your $$
August 20, 2016

Despite filling out a very detailed list, asking for non- drinkers within 30 miles of my home, I'm getting referrals for nothing but drinkers who live as far as two states away. Even after I take the time to delete them as options, eharmony sends them all over again as new matches day after day. Do NOT waste your money.

I am totally surprised by the bad reviews about your site. They are completely inaccurate. I think your site is amazing. I signed up half-heartedly at a friend's request, and to my complete surprise, 'met' someone who is incredibly compatible the very next day. Even if it doesn't work out in the end with him, at least I know that there are guys out there that have the qualities I want. Also your personality book is wonderful and was completely accurate. Thank you. I've already learned a lot about myself and my own relationship weaknesses from joining your site.

Bait-and-switch
April 2, 2024

Eharmony advertised deal for $12.95/month for first 3 months and then normal $25.90/month. However, they charged me $139 and then wanted more. I disputed it but they put it in collection and my final damage ended up being over $550. Absolute false advertising and bait-and-switch.

I have now been informed that promising a customer something in exchange for money and not delivering on that service or product can be considered felony theft through fraud. I will contact the attorney general in their home state to see what it takes to get an investigation/arraignment/indictment/ and pressing of charges started. This 'company' must be brought to justice before more thousands of innocents are misled and suckered.

Don't be suckered as reviews are HORRIBLE!

Previous review

Shun this 'service' that has had huge numbers of negative reviews on line! Sorry to say that perception is not reality in the case of this dating service. All the promotion on line is self-serving and very strictly limited as to what is available to prospective members UNTIL THEY SIGN A $$$ CONTRACT!. In most states there is no 'cooling off period' to allow for cancellation if misrepresentation no matter how flagrant that is present...as in Idaho. Matches are NOT based on my priorities that I carefully put together. After paying one learns furthermore, many of the 'prospective recommended' individuals have no photos making it impossible to decide if it is worth following up on. The expensive and 'very long lasting memberships' are clearly designed to maximize their cash profit at EHarmony with no way to cancel after it is found to be a worthless 'service'. It appears that their service is designed to take advantage of lonely people going through tough episodes of divorce, spousal death, or just separation. Also I have tried to revise and narrow down with filters to no avail. After 3 days of this nonsense I am going to challenge my bill with my credit card company as this service appears to border on fraudulent behavior. A non-cancellation policy based on deliberate misrepresentation or especially outright fraud is non-enforceable according to court findings.

If you want to throw your money away….Don't sign a contract. They will not let you out and you lose money….This is worse than any free site. I had a six-month subscription to eHarmony, and in that time received about 20 matches, not one responded and the ones that did were scammers. I thought by the reputation eHarmony has and the price you pay would be a great site to join. I reported to eHarmony and all I get is a response that they removed the profile and not to communicate with member. I learned not to trust anyone on this site. Do not join. There is no screening at the eHarmony site that they say they do.

Thieves!
March 15, 2024

I tried a trial over a year ago and just got charged $90 without warning... Apparently the trial I did automatically signs me up for new memberships. Customer care doesn't care and is ignorant to my complaint, can't talk to a human neither. Boooooo!

I subscribed to eharmony. The site is not a good dating site. The bank account I gave eharmony for billing was subsequently closed. When the renewal was not paid, eharmony cut off the service to me. Then, eharmony turned me over to collections for almost a thousand dollars they say i owe under the contract even though they cut off the service. What a scam.

They make it as hard as they can to communicate about your account with them, but have no problem holding YOU accountable (no refunds) for automatic renewals! Phone numbers they give you to communicate with them are bogus and won't even go through when you call to talk to them. DO NOT give them your credit card number!

Refuse to cancel

I cancelled the membership and they refused. They continue to try to charge my credit card. My bank has blocked them.

Poor selection of singles in the area, all of them are 60 to 100 miles away. When called to cancel my subscription after 9 days, I was basically told that I need to pay for the entire full year, I cant even delete my profile anymore, feels like a total kidnap. Shame of organization!

Scam site! Avoid!
March 2, 2023

Would give 0 stars if I could. Scammers set you up with auto renewal as default, take a year's subscription without permission and won't pay back upon noticing. It's not like I waited a month to request it, just a few days. Haven't used their service. Any other business would just refund no problem. Greed!
