I called iStock customer service several times to ensure that I wouldn't miss the deadline for my month's free trial subscription. The last staff member I spoke with gave me dates that extended into 2024. I thought that was wonderful until the day after the month deadline was up when I called to confirm that and was informed the info I was given was incorrect.

They would indeed charge me ($70!) for the next month although I was 1 day over the monthly deadline and was told earlier that it had been extended. Which staff person was I to rely on? I went with the most recent and got dinged for $70 for the entire month. IStock falsely promised a year by phone so that intentionally supersede the monthly deadline...and then charged SEVENTY DOLLARS for the next month!

IStock Photo is dishonest and greedy and engage with them at your own peril.

Tip for consumers:
