      Do not sign up and pay anything to Match. It is the worst website I have ever used and all the other reviews are true. If you happen to find a real person there the ability to communicate with them is slim to non existing. In my account page I did find a way to cancel my auto renewal and end my account. But there is NO customer service there and I called out 4 fakes and they then deleted their profiles. In a month I still have yet to meet a real person. DO NOT SIGN UP FOR MATCH!

      This is the second time that I have used this site, the first time may have generated more possibilities, but I can't remember, that being said, I am an active, paid subscriber as of now and it is the absolute worst. I am under the impression that there are many inconsistencies regarding profiles and their legitimacy. I can't wait for the subscription to end and I will turn off auto-renew a day or so prior. I am under the impression that in 2026 and from here on out dating apps are not a viable resource. They once had their time, but with technology being as advanced as it is, they are fruitless and futile.

      I just created my profile, verified my phone and email, uploaded my several pictures, provided all information, paid for 3 months subscription and just started to receive emails ... but on next day I was banned for no reason and was not able to log in to my account. It says that I got blocked by Match.com. I emailed to customer service and asked them to explain why I just blocked.

      I just created an account and paid for 3 months. I didn't receive any answer from them. They don't have customer service to resolve problems. I lost my money and didn't have a chance to remove my pictures and information from this account. So terrible!

      Unbelievable! They charge you for every single move. Can’t message anyone without paying for it nor can you search your area. They show you what they want and then suspiciously run out of people in your area. I’ve told them I want a refund but no reply.

      Well, I guess this is what Match does because I was also banned without cause. I have been in a vicious circle of AI responses that don’t appear to understand my request, telling me over and over to do the same thing that I keep telling them isn’t working. VERY FRUSTRATING, especially when they are still getting my money. It’s been almost a month with no resolution. When I tried to cancel, they stated to log in and cancel however, the issue I have is that I can’t log in. I asked for a refund; they told me they don’t refund. Well, they don’t help either.

I have spent the last three days trying to contact their support team, but they are entirely unresponsive. It is a shame that a company claiming to want business treats new customers this way.

      My experience with Match.com was extremely disappointing. I spent a significant amount of time creating my profile, putting genuine thought into my answers and hoping to meet someone compatible. In the middle of completing my profile, I was suddenly logged out and asked to verify my login information. I then received a message stating that my account had been blocked. No explanation. No specific reason. No meaningful opportunity to understand what happened. I appealed the decision and simply asked Match.com to explain why my account was blocked. Their response was that the decision was final, but they still provided no reason or explanation.

      What makes this even more concerning is that I provided personal information while creating my profile, yet I have no confidence that my information has been deleted or how it is being handled now that my account has been permanently blocked. The entire experience felt misleading and incredibly frustrating. If you're going to ask people to invest their time, personal information, and effort into creating a profile, the least you should provide is transparency and a reasonable explanation when you remove someone's account. Based on my experience, I would not recommend Match.com. There are plenty of dating platforms out there, and I believe people deserve better communication and transparency than this.

      I had my subscription for 3 months. Unbeknownst to me it was set on auto renew which I absolutely did not want because it feels like 80% of the profiles are fake. I was pretty constantly under attack. The day after it auto renewed I contacted Match with no response. 3 days later I contacted them again with no response. I then contacted my bank, and after that match.com blocked my account. Still no response, still no refund. So the free membership apparently no longer applies to me. It feels like I am in a argument with a Junior high kid. Which is honestly who I think might be running that joint... Buyer beware

I have emails that so and so likes me, yet there is no way to communicate with these people, even though the plan was supposed to let me do just that. I was on this site less than 24 hours and am unable to get a refund. There is no way to contact their staff. And the online message only says there are no refunds, unless you die. What the...?? So basically, they have stolen my money. They sold me a plan that does not exist and refused to refund my money after less than 24 hours. That is a ripoff.

      Match.com is nothing but a waste of time and money. I was on the app last year. Did meet some people at first and then the amount of “likes” and “views” started dwindling. I canceled the membership when it ended and immediately had over 50 views and over 15 likes in one day. Of course I couldn’t communicate with anyone because I canceled my membership. I figured it was just a fluke. I got back on the app and renewed my membership 6 months ago. Had very few likes and not a significant number of views. I canceled my membership yesterday and wouldn’t you know, I have over 80 views this morning and 18 likes. It’s not just a fluke. I believe that Match.com boosts your profile after you cancel your membership so that the only way you can view or communicate with anyone is to renew your membership. I’m wondering if anyone else has noticed this.
