The overall reputation of the company is significantly marred by customer dissatisfaction, primarily due to perceived deceptive practices regarding refunds and subscription management. Many users express frustration over the lack of suitable matches and the prevalence of fake profiles, leading to a sense of wasted time and money. Customers frequently highlight inadequate customer service, with limited access to support and automated responses exacerbating their concerns. While a few users mention positive experiences, the overwhelming sentiment suggests a need for improved transparency, better quality control of profiles, and a more responsive customer service approach.

I signed up and in less than 24 hours realized that I had made a mistake. I sent introductions to six women. The next thing four of them wanted to chat on a different platform "google meets" " whatsapp" etc. I contacted customer service asking for cancelation and refund. It took two days before I received a response. No refunds and even if I canceled they would require full payment of a one year contract. In my opinion eharmony site is as much of a scam as the majority ofpeople that use it. Another user beware site!
Save your money and find love elsewhere.
Never would I ever pay $300+ for a year service they get you saying $84.95 for 12month term. Oh no it 4x payment of $85 dollars with no help or way to get out of their system. I stopped using before my free month was up but had to purchase the service to talk with a match for more than 3 messages. Total rip off don't use this service
THIS SITE IS THE WORST! I WAS CONSTANTLY SENDING THEM THE SCAMMERS AND FAKE PROFILES AND THEY WOULD RESPOND WITH THANK YOU WE REMOVED HIM. I WAS THE UNPAID POLICE FOR THEM. THEY SIGNED ME UP FOR 6 MONTHS WHEN I THOUGHT IT WAS ONLY 3. THEIR DUPLICITOUS SO THEY CAN GET ANOTHER MEMBER. SO MANY FAKE PROFILES ITS ACTUALLY PATHETIC. YOU CAN CLEARLY SEE THE PICS ARE SO FAKE, FROM A MAGAZINE. DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THIS SITE. NOT LIKE IT USED TO TO BE.
A waste of money and they don't offer a trial subscription like other dating app overall experience I didn't like it I paid the whole year by mistake and I called them telling them what happened and they refused to give me a refund but it's all good.
Ehamony will not refund even if you cancel it within the 3 days. They absolutely refuse to follow their own policy. I have contacted them numerous times and refuse to cancel and refund but ensured they will continue to take the money until the subscription s expires. My advice don't use a site like this.
Absolutely a con. Your only paying for an online psychological dating profile. So basically I joined and payed and after 3-4 hours of being a member I relized that most of the profiles don't have pictures. So I tried to cancel my membership. Thinking I was coverd by the fourteen day protection. They then said. OH NO! You still need to pay 65 GBP for the psychological profile. Don't give these people any money. They are criminals. Something should be done. Legally.
EHarmony fraudulently charged me. I had a 1-year subscription. I was so dissatisfied with this dating website that I took down my profile after 6 months. I also made sure to check the "Do Not Renew" button. I even went back to the website 2 different times after that to make sure my subscription status was appropriately checked to NOT RENEW as I knew that some of the dating sites will change your subscription renewal status. So, in June 2023, I was shocked when eHarmony charged my credit card for the first installment of $89.70. I then went on their website and my renewal subscription had been changed back to renew my subscription. It took me a long time to find the customer service phone # for eHarmony but I did finally talk to a CSR. They agreed to not bill me for any further installment payments. They refused to refund me the $89.70. I escalated my complaint up the chain & all I got was the stereotypical "blow me off"emails that continued to quote the renewal policy. I question if they even read the content of my response. If you choose to not renew your status on any dating website, make sure you take a screenshot of that. Although since eharmony has no problem committing fraud, that may not even work. Don't bother joining this dating website. It was a total waste of my money.
I joined eharmony on a special discount for 6 months. I was ONE DAY LATE to cancel the automated renewal payment for one year $718.00 charged to card. Tried to contact eharmony, no valid phone number available, tried 5 different numbers, none valid or answered. By email I offered to pay a month, not good enough for them Their original contract for the 6 months says they will notify you as renewal approaches, THEY DID NOT! Still no person to talk to. Sorry, I am older, do not know how to attach invoice.
Don't subscribe it is a rip off, I advise all to stay away. I will end up paying for a full year which is unacceptable
Awful business by signing up you commit to having $500 stolen from you cannot cancel threaten to send you to credit collection once you pay them they don't acknowledge that they've been paid
Don't join. The selection of men suck. A lot of Clown supporters (oops sorry I meant to write TRUMP supporters) It's a waste of money. That's all I have to say.
Unfortunately, E Harmony does not allow users to pay on a month to month basis like their competitors which does not encourage one to become a member.
A few of my colleagues purchased a trial membership with unsatisfactory results.
In short, they had to prepay a minimum of three (3) months in advance which was over $60.00. After a month, or so, they felt that it was not a good fit and cancelled the membership as it automatically renews.
However, they, like countless others, were unable to receive a refund for the unused time.
Had I not known someone who had this negative experience, I would have been out of a good amount of money.
This site gouges its customers because it is ALL ABOUT THE MONEY!
Buyer Beware
Bad experience, normal matches if not worse. CS does nothing to help you if you want refunds or even if you want your own account deleted. I have emailed them 3 times, and they refuse to respond whatsoever. Might as well use a free /subscription-based service and then use this. Honestly, there is nothing here that any other dating site for free can offer.
Hindsight is 20/20. Right? I wish I would have checked reviews before wasting my money. It seems all of the match profiles are made up. Please don't waste your time and money.
And customer service does not exist. They do not provide any contact information.
I signed up for a six month subscription for EHarmony a few years ago, and quickly regretted it. For one thing, many of the profiles they display are people who signed up for a free weekend and never actually join the site, so you're messaging people who likely are not even ever on the site again- or are even fake profiles.
I got "matches" from people who lived six hours away from where I lived, as well as men who were years older than the ones I was interested in meeting. One message was even from a man who wanted me to send him money since he claimed he was in the Middle East in the military-RED FLAG!
I got one message from a man in my area that I thought I might be interested in, but he quickly proved too needy for my taste since he got really mad when I didn't respond to a message immediately. Believe it or not, I also got messages from men who had also previously messaged me on free dating websites! Many of the same men who are on free apps, are also on this one, so why bother with a paid app if you can get messages from the same men that you aren't interested in on a free platform?
I remember someone told me that the paid-for sites were supposed to attract a better quality of people, but believe me, that is not true. Not sure about Match.com, but this site offers romantic hopefuls a whole lot of nothing for a lot of money! I didn't pay a lot of money (thankfully) but I still got a whole lot of nothing out of this site.
As soon as the six months were up, I canceled. I basically had the date marked on my calendar, and was completely prepared for them to give me a hard time about getting my money back. Surprisingly, I wasn't given an issue and my credit card was never charged again.
I met my now-husband on a free dating more than three years ago. We now have an eight month old son, and adopted a dog. I guess if eHarmony had actually come through or offered any good or promising dating candidates, none of that would have even happened. So, thanks after all eHarmony, for sending me back to a free app so I could meet my soulmate!
Eharmony is lackluster and does not provide good matchs and their billing scheme is a scam. I cancelled my subscription back in may and was charged for june and now july. When i tried to get into my account to verify they locked my account and forced me to pay a fee and then still kept the account locked afterwards. Had to call customer service and had them delete my account and cancel my subscription which they still required that I pay out the remainder of the year. Do not use this service they will steal your money and provide nothing of value.
I joined at a very expensive price for 6 months as a man seeking another man. Right away, I started getting women included in my matches, and when I contacted customer service, they said it wasn't their problem--that those women must have inputted their profiles wrongly. Really? So many made the mistake? They also advertise a video date feature, but when I tried to use it, the person on the other end could not see or hear me. And there is no online help. You send a message into the ether and then someone gets back to you eventually--with little help. Many of the profiles that come up in matches are either fake or set up by someone who did not pay anything for them because they include no photos and strange profile info. In short, run away from this scam program! A complete waste of money.
They don't do anything different than any other dating site, but that's their big claim!
Nothing personalized anymore than any other site.
This company charged me for a 12 month renewal without my approval ($400). I had not logged in for about six months and did not receive a renewal notice (which they claimed they sent). They then locked my account so I couldn't pay anyway and wanted me to send money to a bank. When I repeatedly asked to speak to an actual person, they claimed they do not speak to anyone on the phone anymore. Sketchy! When they have so many users and charge so much, why would they waste their time threatening to send me to collections? They can see that I hadn't logged in or used their services for months. Rip off!
$300 some odd dollars and they suck! Sending you fake profiles then when you go on to look, they are deleted! Now c'mon everyone? They are just as bad as all the other dating sites. It's all about MONEY
Answer: EHarmony is over rated and it's a lot of mumbo jumbo... If you're going to pay for a site match.com is set up much better and for a free site plenty of fish is really a nice site... BillyPrewitt.com
Answer: No. They won't refund you.
Answer: On your profile where you get asked questions like whats your fav movie and so on. Replace any answers you have already left with offensive language which in turn will violate their terms and conditions and they will have no option than to close your account. As for getting a refund good luck.
Answer: I called my credit card company because I cancelled within the three day grace period. Eharmony tried to say I had waited too long and therefore would be no refund. My credit card company disputed the charges, my account was credited and I was just notified that the dispute has been approved. No more eharmony charges. Hoe things work out for you.
Answer: You can't opt out. You are locked for the whole duration of your subscription even if u dont use it anymore they will charge ur visa regardless untill ur contract expires. I have to spend 11 more months to a site I cant use coz Im a transgender woman and no man in there wants me.
Answer: Well I have but I No longer on those sites anymore because they are scammers of course and I was on match truly.com and I deactivate my account off there as well but however sometimes I register on that website match truly.com even though I'm No longer a member on that website anymore because I still see the same lady Anna I'd Number is 60780729 and she's still online right now just like any other ladies you see on that site so I go on there just to waste their time and use abusive behavior against them to teach them a lesson and I don't pay money for that so that's why if you Noticed just pay close attention to the lady Anna on match truly.com and you will see her on wishdates.com and many other dating sites so I'm just tracking these websites down and you can see the ladies are Not real and can you tell me what Normal person would stay online 24 hours a day and seven days a week that's Not a Normal person that's a Networker and they like to make all kinds of excuses for themselves so don't listen to Nonsense about what they say because if you keep talking to these fake ladies they will Robb you out of your money so pretty much wasting your time because you are Not getting anywhere but a dead end and believe me I know what I'm talking about because I was on that website for two years and believe me they are phony and so is the customer support they are fake and they think they are very intelligent human beings and they think they can manipulate people so just watch yourself and be careful because I'm still seeing the same ladies on that website today from two years ago they are Not real and they are Not looking for anyone
