I joined, it gave me 3 days to cancel, I thought well 3 days is not enough time to give a chance, so on the 4th day I cancelled. I got the subscription for $160+ and it was going to take out $41 over 4 months so I agreed. Cancelled my membership and now they want to still charge even though I can talk to anyone I can only view now. Can’t message, so I’m stuck with a site that really only paired me up with separated men and men that are 5’5”. No offense I’m 5’8” and just not comfortable with dating someone shorter than me. But the point is, they don’t have many good matches so I basically just gave my money away. Long time ago they use to not take people who were separated because I was one of them, now they don’t care. Ethical my **! He still has the possibility of going back to his wife, DUH! So now I’m out $160 with no date in sight. I’m joining Match there’s a reason they're #1.

If I could give eHarmony 0 stars I would, even less than zero! To use the site even for its basic purposes (view profile photos, message people or see your matches) you have to sign up for a subscription. I signed up on the basis that they advertised a 14 day cooling off period. After signing up within 30 minutes I decided I wanted to cancel. I had 8 matches, none of them were in my local area, none of them matched my preferences that I had put in my personality profile. I emailed to cancel and got told my 14 day cooling period was not possible as I lived in Australia!
I then refuted this as in Australia we are entitled to a 14 day cooling off period. I then got slammed with terms and conditions that are so misleading and also unfair for consumers, favoring states that only got a cancellation period from filing a LAWSUIT! (Google for the evidence and you will see). I have emailed them and I have received no responses. I have asked to speak to a manager, no responses. There is not even a number you can call them on to talk to somebody, it's just a total scam! I would avoid at all costs. Read reviews before you sign up. I would actually rather be single for my whole life than use this service, even if it was the only dating service you could use!

Thought I was signing up for a month, billed for a year. At first they said it was outside the 3 days, it wasn't. Then I was told my state doesn't have 3 day cancellation. Filed a complaint with Paypal. PayPal agreed it was unauthorized. They are still sending me a bill.

After filling out what seemed like an interesting-ish survey you're presented with your "personality profile" and asked to sign up. There are no safety checks or verifications at all on this site. If you're able to click a keyboard and have a valid credit card... you're in. Solidly 75% of the pictures put up look like they were just grabbed from some social media feed somewhere. Most of the people you'll "encounter" don't visit the site often, aren't checking their messages… Etc. etc.
The entire customer support is offshore… The whole vibe is fairly hostile… Most of the women seem disappointed with the service and our suspicious… Which makes perfect sense. It's like attending the worst party you've ever been to. So when you inevitably say "please let me out of this" you'll be speaking to someone in the Philippines who is basically just reading you the same contract language he's read over and over again because nobody wants to stay. I requested my money back inside of 24 hours and was told I don't qualify for a refund. These guys will be hitting up my credit card for a year. Do not sign up for this site.

I thought I was signing up for one month and later found out it was 350.00 they charged me for 12 months. Asked for a refund and was refused. They said that I agreed to certain terms which apparently meant no refund.
Reviewed Oct. 2, 2021
I used their site for 3 days. I had to pay upfront for 3 months for their 12 month plan, you have to pay off the 12 month in 4 months because they know you will hate the matches they give to you. I was not allowed to see anyone's profile except my matches. My matches were all women with high degrees while I have no degree. Nobody messaged me back and the only other woman was single with 5 kids and her profile said she was LOOKING FOR A DADDY for her babies!!! I was so disgusted.
I emailed them explaining I didn't even see their free trial until after I paid. I asked for a refund and explained why I wasn't going to find a match on their site and they emailed me back and told me I was trying hard enough!! I can tell when someone is out of my league and yet I still messaged them and sure enough got no reply. I am going to file a dispute soon as I am not happy with them stealing $50!! They only care about your money. They don't care if you find someone or not. Never falling into this trap again.

Pls do not join this company. I thought they were best for professional people, unfortunately didn’t read people’s feedback before joining. Upon trying for a less than a week (I read their terms conditions & they promise refund.) they charged me £65 for canceling. This is against their own terms & conditions. Shame on you.

They ignored all my emails to not renew my subscription and forwarded my account to collections because I refused to pay them to renew. The service itself was mediocre - I was paired up with people that I specifically said in my profile I was not interested in. Whatever formula they're claiming to have definitely does not work!!!! Come to think of it - Of course, it would not work because if it truly did then people will find their soulmates and people will cancel their subscription and they will be out of business. Save yourself the headache - don't sign up!!

This dating site is a colossal ripoff. DO NOT waste your time or money taking their quizzes and trying to meet someone on this site. It doesn't work. I am reasonably good-looking, educated, and fit, but haven't had a single date in the three months I've been on the site. In fact, few people contacted me or even responded to me. I didn't understand that I'd be charged over $400 in the first months for a 12-month membership. I feel mugged and wish I'd donated the money to a charity instead. As I understand it, I have zero recourse in terms of getting any money back. This is a total scam. Stay away.

I thought I was signing up for one month. The very next day I saw that I was on a 12 month plan so I called customer service to tell them there was a mistake.

I signed up with high hopes thinking because they ask many questions and tend to be more expensive that I would get a good experience however that is not the case. Every day the same men show up in my search. At first I put my preferred distance in for 30 miles (you only have 15, 30 etc... to choose from) and quickly realized that I was getting matches from Miami (too far from Tampa Bay area) so then I changed to 15 miles and now all I get is the same 46 guys and no new ones. I have asked to be let out of my contract with no further charges because I am not happy however they refuse. Why? Why can't they just let me walk away and not make this an ongoing issue? You would think that a company that claims to be so large would just do the right thing and let an unsatisfied customer out so that they don't get a bad review but certainly not in this case.

I have opened a free account on eHarmony site. It lasted a couple of months and then was closed by eHarmony for no reason and without explanation. I then opened a new account with a different email address that suffered the same fate as the first one. I am right now on my third account but will not pay a penny for the membership and don't recommend this website to anyone. Enough said.

Do not believe all the great reviews about eHarmony. It's total garbage and expensive to boot. Same matches all the time. And then you get an email from them with one match every blue moon and when you click on it and it doesn't even take you to that person. Also, be very aware of worthless scammers on all dating sites. Never give out your phone number or email address. If the site has a video chat use it to make sure that person is who they say they are. If they don't want to use it then your more than likely dealing with a rat. Avoid eHarmony!

After even brief interaction with the site, it became clear that it has very poor matching algorithms and a small dating pool of relevant candidates. Other dating sites in Canada, even without paid subscription, offer much more relevant matches, and I got a much better response rate on other sites. Importantly, most other sites, offer 1-month subscription, whereas eHarmony offers only 6 months. They probably do it because they know that nobody would come back after 1 month. I made the mistake of getting 6 months membership because I found an article eHarmony's own website about 14-day cool-off cancellation policy. The article is highly misleading because this cool-off policy applies only to UK, but the article never mentions it. Overall, I would not recommend getting a subscription there at all!

When you sign up for this experience after a very extensive question and answer you are unable to see photos of people in your area until you pay. I went ahead and paid and after five minutes of viewing the very limited profiles in my area wanted to cancel as there was no one close to me that I was interested in. Many of the profiles had no photos. I immediately emailed customer service to ask them if I could cancel and they told me I could not and suggested that I expand my search area.
Even after doing that there were limited matches in the very few that did match were over an hour from me. All this did was add more profiles with no pictures. Of all the dating sites this is the absolute worst with a very limited number of matches or viable matches being people with profile pictures. Do not sign up for the service as it will be a waste of your time and money. Once they have your money you are trapped and obligated to continue to pay whether they have matches or not.

I've been at 20 matches for 3 months straight. When new matches come in half them never come back to add a picture and the other half don't log on often or barely ever. The test part is great; wish it was more useful. What's the point of a test that doesn't get me very far. I've been on eHarmony since January this year. One date off of there since. I've spent more than 14 minutes on this site and haven't found any close potential matches. Lots of my matches are far away so if I put the distance even shorter I'm down to 10. Four profiles with no pictures. It's just very frustrating!

eHarmony is barely passable as a messaging service and it doesn't even have as many members to pick from as the last party I went to while demanding an excessive payment for basic functionality. Do not use this as basically any other service would be better.
Reviewed Sept. 13, 2021
Thank you for replying quickly. However there several points in our “Agreement” that I would like to address so I get a better understanding of the meaning and how you and I complied.
· First and foremost, you are required to provide me with an updated Agreement any time you revised the Agreement you send me a copy of that revision. I see that the Agreement was revised on March 26, 2021. In looking through my emails from eHarmony I cannot find either an email (or any other communication) where and when you sent that revision as required by you in your Agreement. Please provide me with that information.
You state “This Agreement is subject to change by eharmony in its sole discretion at any time. We will notify you of any such changes by posting an updated version of the Agreement on this page. Your continued use of the Services after the posting of revisions to this Agreement will constitute your acceptance of such revisions. Please consult the end of this Agreement to determine when the Agreement was last revised.” That implies that it is necessary for me to check each day to ensure that a revision has or has not been made. That is not realist and certainly puts undo requirements on me. And it does not say I should be required to check daily to see if a revision has been made, also an unreasonable request.
· Additionally, your Agreement stipulates that Cancellation must be at least 24 hours before the end of the existing term. The existing term does not expire before October 24, 2021. You fraudulently induced me to renew signifiable prior to the expiration stating that my contract had already been expired and a new contract was necessary to continue service. You stated that in a “Banner Headline” in several emails. Nowhere does it say this is not expired although obviously it had not, and the existing term remained through October 22, 2021. Obviously, the Banner was at least misleading and could not be relied upon.
· Third and finally, your I would not have renewed prior to expiration. Why would I do that? You have my money well in advance of the expiration of the existing contract based on your very misleading representation that my contract had already expired. Therefore, since my new subscription begins its annual term at the expiration of the existing term, I am hereby notifying you the during the new annual renewal, I will not be bound by the terms and conditions stated in your Agreement. I am cancelling my contract more than 24 hours before the expiration of the current (and revised) Agreement.
Sincerely,Cc Better Business Bureau

So far I've found this site to be a complete waste of money. I signed up and within the same day I tried cancelling after seeing that in my entire metro area I had 15 matches. I was told very quickly that I didn't qualify to cancel as I didn't live in one of a very small number of states who qualify. I've now been on the app a few months (since I couldn't cancel) and in that time I've only received a couple of new matches. I've used several other dating apps (Hinge, Bumble, Match, Tinder) and I've found all to be significantly better platforms.

I joined on the 8-21-21, for female ages between 52-65, they had indicated there were hundreds, there wasn't maybe 20. I did make contact with a few women, with just a nice "hi how are you". Mostly no responses. I'm thinking they have people on there who are not members on there to help fill in what they do have as fillers. And then there less and less women as days went by, some that were blocked by eHarmony for illegal access. This was for 2 weeks, I sign up for 3 months, nearly $300.

This dating website is marketed as "the best" and it is promoted in some articles as a "Christian Dating Website". I disagree on both counts. Now that I have been with eHarmony for almost two months I can say quite honestly that not too many men in southern Ontario use their services. And the men who self-identify as Christian are mostly not too committed to the Christian faith. It's more like a skin colour for some. But it gets worse. You MUST pay for a minimum of one year as a member, either in four consecutive months or in larger amounts, more quickly. By the time the first four months have ended you have paid for a year of service in USD, and eHarmony doesn't care if you are an unsatisfied customer.
Also by that time you will have done very well to find a handful of semi-suitable matches in your region. My attractive profile has produced three flesh and blood dates in almost two months, and a small number of conversations that went nowhere. Most of the men with high compatibility scores (according to eHarmony) would not be a good match to me in quite a number of ways. And half of the men they insist that I consider are Americans! Although eHarmony provides memberships for many people in other countries in their own currency, Canada is just smushed into the USA, as though we are identical countries. Ha! I am not ready to date Americans. Neither do too many Americans seem ready to date Canadians right now. The pandemic has only accentuated our differences.

I live in Boise Idaho and I will tell you that there is no potential matches anywhere in this area and even in the surrounding areas. It’s pretty depressing and I am so upset that I have to pay because of the contract. If I was able to actually see pictures for the free version I would have never paid.

However, if their T&C was written better and is not intentionally misleading, I would have NEVER EVEN PURCHASED.
I thought I'd give a laid site a try since I have used free ones for the past years. I thought maybe it's time to use a paid site and maybe I would get better chances of finding a match. Nope. Never again. This website completely made me very skeptic of paid dating sites. I have had my eyes on this site for a long time and I had actually endorsed it to some friends. But now, they want to get my $300+ for a service that I no longer want after only 48 hours of being on the site. I don't even care if they keep my first month's pay. I think it's only fair if they keep it. They can even keep the first 3 months of discounted price.

DON'T DO IT. I've tried a number of other dating sites so I thought I'd try eHarmony to get a different pool of people--supposedly matched to me using the extensive survey. I literally have never seen such a poor selection of men and very few to choose from overall and a poor, outdated user interface. I don't know where all of these millions of supposed members are, but they aren't on this site. No wonder the shortest membership they allow is 6 months and it's very expensive. It must be the only way they make any money--by gauging people for a terrible experience. I've asked for my money back but it's been more than 3 days so I don't expect to see any of the *hundreds* of dollars I paid for nothing. It would have been more entertaining to just light a match to 100 dollar bills and watch them burn.

I wish I had done my research and found these reviews a week ago.... I thought eHarmony would offer better connections than the free apps, but I was sorely mistaken. I had nothing in common with my top matches. I didn't expect matches looking like the models on tv, but after reviewing my match profiles and having conversations with some of them, I realized something is very wrong with their algorithm because no one left me interested in sticking around. When I tried cancelling my year membership, I was told there is no cancellation period in my state (some US states get 3 days, while the UK has 2 weeks to cancel). After emailing customer service a few times, and receiving condescending responses lecturing me on how their system works, I decided to try calling, but there is no active phone number that I was able to find.
For such a well known company, I expected much more in the way of customer service both through matches and a cancellation policy. Now I'm stuck paying for the year, even though I will be removing my profile from their service. I should have saved my money and started with one of the other services that has a more extensive free option...I've been on one of them for a week now and found a dozen matches that appear more compatible.

I realized that it was a total scam, with very little options and yield, and very expensive. I asked for a refund, which eHarmony flat out refused. Unfortunately I had paid for a whole year. Total waste of money that eharmony has pocketed without any merit. At least I should have received a partial refund. I sure paid for my mistake.

What a complete dating / meeting social website. A complete disgrace to their so-called matching system. Many times matches are made without facial profile pictures! Extremely FEW matches are within a general (less than 50 mile) distance of your location. I am and noted a conservative yet one of the first match’s, probably faceless, was a liberal! Do NOT waste your time nor money on this obnoxious social website. You can have more fun watching gorillas at the zoo!

I will never do eHarmony again. They claim that make so many true matches. But I don’t see it. The one thing that really disgusts me is their commercials, all they ever show are extremely attractive people who are supposedly finding matches.

For the solid reputation that eHarmony has, I am appalled at my experience with their platform and customer service. Did you know you only have 30 days to decide if it’s working for you? If you take longer, they keep all your money. Not only that, but if you feel like you are being mismatched because of their algorithm, it’s nearly impossible to get THEIR permission to retake YOUR personality quiz. Yup, and you guessed it, is there a phone number you can call or one specific “help desk” you can reach out to? Nope. Just forms and multiple email addresses that seemingly lead to a cyber abyss. Dating can be so tricky. Platforms should make it easier. eHarmony missed the mark on all the essentials, but they will still be spending my money for the next year. What the what???!

This online website claims it will develop a personality profile for its applicants to further its claims that the aforementioned profile will be scientifically compared to similar profile inventories in order to provide a match-making service with a superior statistical rate of success.

If I could choose "NO" stars in the rating scale here, I would, but unfortunately the lowest rating I can give is 1 star. I agree 100% with the reviews of Kala of Riverdale, GA, Jen of Charlottesville, VA and Mark of Morgantown, PA, in all regards. I wish I had looked at the reviews on here first before submitting my credit card to eHarmony for the 1 year, 3-payment subscription. First of all I did not realize it is NO LONGER a "Christian" exclusive website. Secondly, I too found a connection off the site, and no longer needed the service. I explained I wanted to cancel and they told me as well that I would not get the refund of the remaining 2 payments, but had to instead cancel my subscription and eat the loss myself. And finally, their supposed "Compatibility Test" is a sham, compared to what the Christian based original E Harmony had in place.
And I had a few messages from weirdos asking for more explicit photos from me, so I don't understand how they can claim quality members of integrity, if that is the type of repulsive messages I am getting. I'm not paying to meet degenerates. All I can say is that I barely ever write reviews, but I locked my credit card for the remaining balance of the 2 months and they sent me to collections. A total SCAM, but a great racket for the owner of the company who is making out like a bandit. Stay clear of this dating site.

As an FYI, I am over 60 and located near a major university in the South-East. I started with 100 mile search range, but soon increased that number. I had a few matches for the first week, and then they trickled off to almost zero. Most of the matches were over 3 hours away. The filters did not work properly. I asked for particular women (white/Caucasian), and ended up with too many who did not meet that simply preference. Well, I signed up for a year, and that was a very poor choice. No refund. I have turned off automatic renewal. My advice is to go elsewhere. Good luck in your searches! I am off to Tinder and Coffee Meet Bagel.

Unfortunately I agreed to eHarmony’s very one sided agreement for a one year membership. After the first week I discovered that eHarmony was matching me with majority of people who lived completely out of my area, or people I would have nothing in common with. I contacted eHarmony to let them I was extremely unsatisfied with membership and I offered to pay for a month at full price membership because I was extremely unhappy after 1-2 weeks. Their response back was for me to lower my expectations and I was still on the hook for a year membership. I was never part of an introductory offer and I had no idea how poor the membership is. I feel I have every right to cancel and not be held responsible for a year membership.

eHarmony features an automatic deduction to your credit card, then make it near impossible to disable it. End result, high debt and no services rendered. Even after I tried to cancel they still sent my "debt" to a collection agency. Below excerpt from "Customer Service" (grammatical errors are his.) "Please be advised that your subscription was renewed as the automatic renewal feature was not yet disable. The automatic renewal feature is here to provide continuity of service and renews all paid subscriptions for 12-month without any discount." Worst part, I never received a single acceptable prospect from eHarmony, while having dozens on Match. When I tried repeatedly to resolve this billing issue and received contradictory messages and finally a rather rude response by the grammatically challenged "Ivan B." This is a money making machine, and you, the person looking for love are the ATM.

Two people who I was chatting with were already in relationships (married), and the other one gave me the bird and called me fat. There is a very low threshold for maturity on the site and DEFINITELY not worth $289+ if you are over 40. Stick with the free sites if you don’t want to pay to meet cheaters and bullies.

They have the worst customer service policy. I signed up for the 12 month service but only ended up using it for a few days before I found the love of my life without the use of their service. I tried to cancel my subscription since I no longer required it and barely used it but they said that all they can do is delete my account and continue to take my monthly payments. I wasn't asking for a complete refund... I was asking to cancel the last 2 payments since I wouldn't be using the services at all. They weren't even open to that compromise. I have even worked for a company that even if the customer had used 90% of the product the customer could return it for a refund if they weren't completely satisfied with it. eHarmony wasn't even willing to take a compromise of half the cost for only a few days worth of use. They clearly don't actually care about people finding love; they only care about taking as much money as possible from lonely people.
Also, the service itself was not the best. Had very few conversations with people who I would actually consider getting into a relationship with. And occasionally I would have issues with the app. It is definitely not worth the money no matter how lonely you are and how much you want to find a partner. I wouldn't recommend this service to anyone, not even a total stranger.

You go to eHarmony because they lead you to believe their site is for serious people wanting a relationship. And that they do a more in depth matching process. Neither of those statements are true. Even if you pick the shortest subscription you pay close to $400. There is no way to get a refund depending on where you live. So once you pay you're stuck. You can stop the auto renewal so I am waiting to see if it actually works. Their "in depth matching process" is asking you to choose between two pictures. If you pick the square, you get matched with the others who picked the square. Seriously that's it. And you can't retake the test to see if you get matched better. You can only take it when you renew your subscription??
If you do try to reach out to someone, they and you in a reverse case, have the option to send a goodbye. Which basically means you cut off contact and the message literally reads goodbye. Trying to find someone that I actually have something in common with is exhausting. You get a ton of people that you don't have much in common and you may not find them attractive. I will NEVER use this site again! I also challenge them to prove that someone finds love every 14 minutes using their site. It probably only refers to themselves as they get another sucker every 14 minutes who pays for eharmony.

eHarmony used to be a great online dating service for those that were serious about dating and wanted to refined ability to control who they saw for matches and get ones that fit them well. It was always expensive, but the quality largely made it worthwhile - at least when I last used it five years ago. Ufortunately that dating service doesn't exist anymore. eHarmony has changed many key features to make their offering considerably less useful and not remotely worth the money. For one, they changed the icebreaker function, which used to be a good way to gradually get to know someone, and made it much less useful.
Matches now routinely don't correlate with your input criteria, which is annoying by itself, but particularly when you get tons of people that don't fit what you're looking for in critical areas, like income level. They also eliminated the ability to filter out profiles that don't have pictures, further degrading an overpriced service and they clearly are not requiring pictures be posted before a profile is allowed online - and they should be at the cost point for their service and their touted ability to match people and reduce barriers to successful dating. This is unconscionable by itself, but particularly when you're trying to date seriously and find strong matches. I kid you not that my match feed routinely is better than 70% women with no pictures whatsoever. To my mind, this borders on fraud. I would definitely not recommend eHarmony anymore, it's gone way downhill.

Updated on 06/05/2021: I am writing this second review about eHarmony. I signed up in April, today, after 2 months, they keep charging me but they have NOT sent me any new matches. They keep sending the same 2 profiles right from the beginning. How can they rip off customers if they can't provide a service and a website accessible to the customers? They are just stealing money from people in total impunity. CP
Original Review: I signed up with eHarmony on April 14th, this year. I signed up for a payment in 4 installments. Expensive. After a day or two, I wrote to consumer care to cancel because I realized their matches were far from what I wanted (preferences reduced to almost nothing to what I expect), numerous emails from them reminding me, whatever I did, deleting or not the account I still had 3 installments to go, I just needed to put more pictures and lower my preferences, which I did...
So I waited a week, wrote again etc...same response, "you still have to pay" but nothing to address the real issue: they had no members corresponding to my lowest expectations, no response to my messages, no visitors except the 1st week... Yesterday they sent me an automatic email with my new matches: guess what? The 2 matches they sent were 2 people that they had found in April and they were sending them back...There is no way you can explore their members' profiles, you just have to accept their selection..
So, my complaint is: they can't provide a service, after a month I still have no NEW visitors to my profile, nobody has showed up since April 20th or so....My profile is visible, my expectations very low... I receive 10 matches a day and messages on Match (and I am not a member anymore) so I think eHarmony is a scam and I want them to stop the automatic payments without sending them to collection. They are not professional, they don't provide a service, they establish your profile after a very long survey with subtle questions, which at the time looked interesting but then after that I never got any Match???? So, my point is that in this country when the consumer is not provided with the service he paid for, he can get a refund, no matter what. I have read complaints and reviews, some people for the same reasons got their refund, that's why I am posting this. This is a total rip off!

eHarmony is like any other big business that puts money over people. Their customer service is robotic, sending links with legal jargon and no one will talk to you. I signed up for a 6mo subscription, and at the end they charged me for a 12 mo premium renewal. I was not notified of what the charge would be before. I did not want to renew, so asked if they'd at least just charge for the 6mo. I only got the link with more legal jargon. I will never use them again. Very disappointing, they do not uphold their values.

I have read many one star reviews that tell me I'm not the first victim. If there were an option, I'd select zero star. I really don't need to go into detail. Most of the other victims have been screwed a lot worse than me. It's about auto pay and auto renewal. They get you hooked and won't let you go. Imagine yourself starting down a steep slope by a worldly need for company and friendship and every time you touch earth, a hand comes out from below, reaches into your pocket and removes all your worldly resources. This is not only a scam, it's a horrible insult to the human race. I am hoping this organization goes out of business. It does not deserve to exist. There are many ways to find a partner. This is not one of them.

I reviewed the service agreement before signing up, checking to see what my cancellation options were. The terms indicated that I had three days to cancel and get a full refund. I decided to cancel during those three days. I was informed that I could not cancel because of my state of residence. Turns out in another section it states that only 11 states are able to take advantage of the three day cancellation option. This should have been stated directly in the description of the three day cancellation. Very misleading, deceitful, and unethical, imo.

So when we received a charge of $527.16 on our credit card statement, we contacted eHarmony right away. It's obvious the account was not just hidden but dormant for an year.

I signed up with Eharmony in December 2020 for a 1-year subscription and received about 25 matches in December, and less than 10 new ones in January. By mid-January, I realized the matches were not appealing and I asked for a refund. The ones they sent me looked like they could be old enough to be my father or grandfather. Most of the pictures and profiles of my matches were so bad, I doubt anyone would want to connect with those men. On the other side of the scale, the matches they sent that looked decent never sent me a note and never responded to my notes to them.
I am a fairly attractive half Asian half ** 62 year old that looks like I'm in my early 50s. I am active and in great health. The majority of the matches they sent me looked like old broken down ** men that no one would be interested in. I can't prove it, but I think the majority of the matches they send people are fake pictures and profiles. If the pics and profiles are bad, no one would discover that they are fake. By mid-January, the matches were not getting any better and I asked for a refund before the January payment was due, but they say I cannot get a refund because I subscribed for a 1-year subscription.
So they continue to take almost $59 dollars a month out of my account. What a rip off and I'm pretty certain the matches are fake. I mostly believe this because there was never any solid successful communication (texting back and forth) with any of the few matches that looked decent. I think the whole thing is a scam. They take advantage of single people just looking to make a real connection.

You can cancel at any time they say, even better. It took a week to realize it was a mistake and I tried to get my cancellation. Unfortunately the fine print was two days to cancel and the first three months half off was for a year’s contract!!! They refused to give me my money back.
Over half of my matches were people without a picture. The others were way worse than any other dating site I’ve been on. I saw one guy on another site and said we matched on e-harmony.. He said he wasn’t a paid subscriber so he didn’t know. Another match kept contacting me with likes but never answered a message.

Eharmony reached out to me by email offering me a free membership. I clicked on the link and proceeded to spend up to an hour of my time filling out the profile with all of my information. I am then barraged with 50+ messages from compatible men leaving me messages and I am unable to view any pictures or communicate through messaging with a single one. I contacted Eharmony and they said that I would need to purchase a membership to view the images or respond or send messages.
In the meantime, Eharmony took all of my information, and used it to mislead their paying members in believing that I was a potential match. I actually never was since they never had access to meet me. This is false advertising on Eharmony's part. It is fraudulent to myself and all of their clients that they sent my information to.
In the email it states "review your matches for free" which I was never able to do. The email says "Find Love" and "Join Free Today". These are both false statements since love cannot be found without communication and they do not actually permit you to join. BEWARE.

You always hear about people that met and fell in love on this site but let’s be honest, it’s far and few. Similar to most people here, I made the mistake of not reading reviews first, and just paid for a membership. When subscribing, you are told that there is a 14 day period within which you can cancel and get a refund, no fees attached. I joined Sunday morning, very quickly, I realised that the app was mostly 45+ year olds (I’m 25, female), most messages were from people outside the country and younger profiles were clearly fake. I get lots of matches on other apps but eHarmony is made out to be “come here when you’re serious”. I cancelled within the same day, followed the cancellation instructions, only to be notified that I would be getting charged, not for the service used so far, but for the profile report I had received. Yeah, charged for a product you had no idea you’d bought. Sound familiar? Yay, I’ve just been scammed, happy new year!
Let’s go back a bit. When you sign up to the service, you complete a survey (a quiz like the Myers Briggs personality test that you can complete and get a detailed report for free). At no point are you told that the results of this survey are a product you will be charged for should you subscribe. You don’t receive the results of these either unless you subscribe. I subscribed at 1:52pm and my “profile” arrived instantly alongside the order confirmation and it looks just like the end of every “what are you” quiz. Nothing special or bespoke.
Hours later, buyer remorse hit. Maybe if I change my locations, I zoomed right across the UK, tried changing all details of my profile but nope, similar bios with different pics pop up. Oh well, remember, I can get a refund! So I go to my profile, cancel my membership, pop an email to support. Then I am greeted with a response that lets me know that my use of the service (£10.45 a month) is now worth £130 BUT because they’re feeling generous, they’ll slash it in half. So I highlight all the above and turns out, that little survey profile they emailed me is worth £130. It’s like PPI but worse. In their terms, it says that upon cancelling, they may deduct a reasonable fee from what you’ve been charged. At the time of cancelling, I’d only been charged £10 so I assumed maybe some or all of that £10 as gone. I was okay with that, £10 is 2 pints, I can let go of that but nope, another £54 out the hatch!
So in short, that refund thing is a LIE. There is no trial period. I’ve read excuses of “full refund would only be if you didn’t activate the membership”. How does one use a trial period without TRYING the damn thing? Pretty sure there’s some consumer law breached here. How can you promise and advertise a refund when there was never going to be one? Also how can you charge £65 for an automated email of survey results? It’s like getting to a checkout and being charged a rental fee for the trolley and an oxygen fee for all the breathing you’ve done in store and a bonus charge to any song you hummed to off the store’s radio or an airline hostess charging a fee for every time they smile at you or point to your seat.
Unless you’re happy paying £65 for an automated email of quiz results, stick to Buzzfeed, at least theirs has GIFs. If you’re under 40, stick to Tinder and Bumble. It’s so much better, way more matches, conversations and dates and amazing customer service for free or way less cost or hassle.

Signed up for this site two years ago, after being swayed by the gimmicky commercials. I had tried other free dating apps prior to eHarmony, and I have to say eHarmony is the biggest waste of both time and money ever. For one thing, the site does not differentiate between the people who have a free weekend and the actual paid members. So, you might very well end up "matching" with someone who does not even use the site yet their information remains in the system after their free weekend is up.
Within two days of paying for this site, I hated it. I got messages from men I would never consider dating. One of the two men was WAY too pushy and desperate, and wanted my phone number after barely exchanging any messages and got mad when I wouldn't give it to him immediately. He actually messaged me saying "This isn't going to work out between us because you won't give me your phone number"- it sounded like a break up before we'd ever actually met! LOL. The other guy also lived about 80 miles away from where I lived at the time which was not in line with the parameters I'd set up for dating distance. There was another user who sent me a message, but I never responded to. eHarmony sent me a message saying that his profile had been removed for inappropriate and lewd behavior towards other users.
Free dating apps have their fair share of issues, too. I've received some gross messages, been on some terrible dates from those, but also had some great ones. In fact, I met my husband on a free dating app (obviously not eHarmony). With eHarmony, though, my profile got really no attention which I've never experienced before on any sites. I don't think they really value their customers who pay, and it's just about getting their money.

I wish I had read more reviews before signing up for eHarmony! I signed up for the free membership, in which you cannot see any pictures, respond to messages, or really even explore the site. I decided if I was going to try eharmony I needed to sign up fully. I reviewed the terms and conditions, which say you can cancel within 3 days and receive a full refund. Unfortunately, this is only true in some states - this fact is included in the terms and conditions, but not made clear.
After trying the site for a day and realizing it would not be a good fit for me, I followed the cancellation policy instructions listed in the terms and conditions but was told they would not grant a refund, as I do not live in the states where this is allowed. They also will not stop payment, and will continue to charge me for the remainder of a six month membership (total of almost $400). Incidentally, they did offer to extend my membership by three months - which, of course, I don't want. So, after thinking I was signing up for a cancellable membership, I find I am locked into $400 for 1.5 days of "being a member". I've deleted my account and do not intend to sign back up. Many of the matches they paired me with weren't even in my country, the site was difficult to navigate, and it was extremely expensive. Stay away! If this is the way they do business in the open, who knows what else they are doing!

Joined eHarmony for a 6 month term seeking a relationship and immediately within the first day, I knew the site was a huge disappointment. Tried to invoke the 3 day cancellation but that is limited to certain states. The only way to communicate with customer service is via messaging as there is no phone number and they might get back to you with some generic nonsense answer in a few days.
The matches I get are pathetic. Certainly not within the boundaries of what I am seeking (not talking about looks alone). Almost half don't have pictures. That is a big red flag when someone does not have a picture in their profile - what are they hiding or who are they hiding from? It has been a week now and the same matches keep recycling.
The website also has issues, specifically with the message system. I did have two responses that showed considerable interest. When I responded, I received an error message that my message did not go through and the website advised me to copy/paste my message, logout and in and resend the message. Did that and have not received a reply from two seeming interested women which leads me to believe that they did not get my message even though it appears they did. So, do I send them another message asking if they received my message? That seems kind of pushy and desperate if they did get the original reply. So the unknown functionality of their message system kind of makes the entire experience further dysfunctional.

I purchased 6 months subscription with discount. Compared to other dating apps: Eharmony is expensive, I read carefully cancelation policy and decided to give it a fair try. After one week of use I understood that application is not user friendly and hard no navigate. Some features not available on the phone, very outdated look and panel. Also, there is no traffic. I was parallel on other dating site I would receive thousands of likes and requests, on Eharmony I got only a few and nothing actually matching to my criteria.
It was clear for me that I need to cancel it after 1-2 weeks, I canceled my subscription and on my profile is says "Your automatic renewal was cancelled" but it was not. Soon in a month I realized they keep charging me. I sent email to request refund and they replied, they wouldn't do it. I have options to hold it or make my friend or family member to take it.
Company business strategy is to charge money from clients, period. They are not focused to improve the app (and they really need it) or make it really the app to meet people. For now it's the app with wrong advertisement to take money from people. Sad to see such a business strategy. Hope they change and it wont last too long.... This review is for potential users, it costs a lot but actually works worse than free apps, read carefully all reviews before subscribing.

Turns out that eHarmony is only able to provide matches based on geographic proximity in the US, Australia, the UK and one other country. For those of us living in any other country, it is NOT possible to select matches within a certain distance from where you live, making it virtually useless as a dating service app. For example, I live in Colombia, and I was getting matches in CA, AZ, Russia, and as far away as the Philippines! Halfway around the world! Of course in and of itself there is nothing wrong with this, AS LONG AS IT IS DISCLOSED and made clear when you sign up for the service. It is NOT clear at all. The simple expectation in today's world of on-line apps that you will be able to select matches according to geographic proximity when you purchase a premium subscription is simple common sense.
When I complained, the customer service rep simply said that currently they are not able to provide matches close by. And that "according to our refund policy" they will not provide a refund, and that "after reviewing my case" that was the final decision. Period. I would caution people not to use this service for this reason, unless you live in one of the countries where geographic proximity matches are possible. And even so, I would urge everyone, regardless, not to support a business with such deceptive practices, poor service for premium subscription customers, and such disdainful customer service and unfriendly refund policies.

So, I signed up after googling if they have a cancellation window where I would be able to get a refund. BIG MISTAKE! After looking through my matches, I just didn’t feel it was the right time to try this. I feel like people are not trying to shell out $269+ right now with a difficult economy. So maybe they’re all on the free or cheaper sites? I spoke to an eHarmony representative via the chat option and she was so rude. She took forever to respond and was very condescending.
I was curt in my own responses because I had nothing to say. After emailing customer service, I was informed there is no refund window?!? When did they take that away??? If I would have known I never would have signed up! That’s where they get you though, because who on earth has 6 hours to read through their 78 page terms when I knew from a friend and Google that they have a refund window?
I’m so dissatisfied. Don’t sign up for this service. I don’t trust their “formulas” or the matches that were available. Debra (lady from the chat box) told me to just give it a try and I sure have. I’ve talked with many of my matches and I just am having a hard time finding someone that seems to connect. I usually have an easy time in the beginning of online dating (the two times I’ve tried it) but it’s just not seeming to go anywhere this time. Spend your money somewhere where you can try a site month to month. Don’t waste your time, energy, and hard-earned money on a site that doesn’t even let you have a trial period. Or, you might even have more luck with a free site.

I was really disappointed. At the time I joined several years ago I was a Christian. Turns out guys go on eHarmony to sleep with Christian women because they're less likely to have STDs. Two guys I met were likely sex offenders from their very creepy behavior, such as being very handsy, wanting me to touch their clothes, to ride in their car, or choosing a meeting place next to a hotel. One brought his toddler to my house for a date, spent the whole night being annoyed with the child and then wanted me to have sex on the sofa with him when the child fell asleep!
I was in my early 40s and open to adoption or fostering so I answered "Maybe" to whether I wanted kids. I found out when my subscription was finally up and a rep called me that by answering "Maybe" I had not expanded my options, but limited them to only men who also said "Maybe." But, the rep said, it was too late (3 days or something) to give me any credit for my unused months and poor experience. If you saw The Secret Life of Walter Mitty remake where Walter has discussions with his eHarmony coach, know that a) there isn't really anything like that and b) the movie's jokes about no refunds is cringing funny because it's so true. Neil Clark Warren is one of many reasons I'm no longer Christian.

Having used free service decided to join but after realizing the way they take money and increase the monthly fee I cancelled right away, they are now charging me £65 for a report I could see while free and can’t see as a cancelled member.

I joined for six months in the Spring. In May I opted out of the automatic credit card renewal. I never received another email. Then, in October, there appeared a charge of $568.80. They said I did not opt out. I know I did but have no proof. I was on a second dating site and I opted out of both of them on the same day. If you opt out, make sure you get a reference number.

I joined eHarmony recently on a whim during the pandemic. Within 10 minutes I thought I made a bad choice, and I tried to cancel my membership. I contacted customer service. There is no available phone number and so I could only reach out to them via email. There is no prompt effective communication. I received my response in about a day and a half. I did not use my account at all and do not plan to use it. They didn't care and could not honor refunding me the $40 something dollars. Atrocious and greedy! I would never recommend this dating service to any of my friends or family. I should have gone back to Match or tried Hinge.

I just joined this site after seeing commercials on how great it is. I’m a 65 year old very attractive woman who lives in the metropolitan NY area. I spent a lot of money on joining this site. All the men are over 60 miles away, the same men are on every day and absolutely no one has liked me. I have been on other sites with a lot of attention from men but not one person is interested in my profile. Sometimes I feel like it doesn’t even exist. It’s a major ripoff and when I asked for a refund they said to change my search parameters. I expanded my search parameters and still nothing. Very frustrating. Stay away!!!

I joined eHarmony and was charged $23.29 for membership 8/22/2020. Subsequently, I was charged $23.20 on 9/22/2020. I tried to cancel membership but was advised I could not do so. BEWARE when you sign up; although they tell you how to cancel, they will not allow it. To add insult to injury, although it is only 17 days later, when I attempt to access eHarmony I get a dialogue that instructs me to accept their ¨Tracking Technologies¨. There is no provision to ¨not accept¨ and when I do not click on ¨accept¨ I am not given access to my ALREADY PAID account. They should give access or refund the fee they charged!!

I thought I would give eHarmony a chance in looking for a long term relationship as I don't go out much because I'm a parent and I work. I ended up meeting a gentleman who turned out to be married. I found this out when I did a background check on him. I presented the evidence to eharmony in hopes they would remove his account because I thought eharmony was for singles or divorcees looking to meet a decent match and settle down. Turns out eharmony lets anyone become a member even if they are married. I paid $300 for a subscription only to find out eharmony is no different than the free dating sites.

I signed up for eHarmony to look for a significant other and man was I disappointed. I read the terms and conditions and agreed to pay for 6 months thinking a lasting relationship was an investment. Once my account was set up, there were over 200 matches that I could view. I was only interested in 2 of them. The first one ghosted me and the other seemed really sweet, so I spent a few hours messaging them. The second day of messaging, my phone told me their full name and I decided to look them up. To my horror, they had been jailed less than a year ago for inappropriately touching several minors between the ages of 12-14. A police report also said they had a record of doing this several other times on top of that!
I was foolish to think eharmony would provide a quality or safer experience because they charge so much and lock you into their contract for so long. Good thing I did my research on the person as soon as I could. Things could have ended badly. I’m too scared to trust anyone else on the app now but I’m stuck with it for the next 6 months. My advice is to always look people up and wait a while before you fully trust them.

I decided to have a look at eHarmony by buying a 3 month membership. Before the 3 months was up, I shut off access to my profile. eHarmony has renewed my membership for a year, and charged me $550. I contacted them very soon after this was evident to say that I did NOT want to remain a member only to be told that I was stuck with the membership until September 2021, and they will NOT issue a refund. I am not impressed with a company that has a no refund policy.

Please do not waste your time, effort and money! I think that loneliness has impacted most people, in some way or another, especially this year. But I decided to join a dating site, and someone suggested eHarmony. I joined, and I had a flurry of messages. Some weird (had to block), some (I think) from genuine fellas, but not the type of fella that I felt I would have a connection with (even though the eHarmony personality match was high), or indeed found attractive. Also, the majority of matches were over 100km away!
The whole experience was completely deflating and I decided to cancel my subscription, as I was within the 14 day cancellation period. They charged me £65, for less than 10 days usage of the site. Not only was their personality match a complete joke, they said that the personality report was worth £130... But they would only charge me £50 for it, plus one month's subscription fee. Which is absolutely disgusting. I wish I had read the reviews prior to joining, and I suspect that many others will fall foul. eHarmony's business model, must be based around how much money they can charge, rather than providing a quality service.

We paid for a 3 month subscription for my daughter. After the three months were up, they sent an email notice that if you did not cancel the subscription, they would automatically enroll you in the premium one year membership. This email, unfortunately, landed in her junk folder. The one year membership is $587! She talked to them and they refused to prorate it. No refund is available for this situation. She had already stopped responding to the myriad of strange messages that she had gotten from odd eHarmony subscribers.
Yes, it was in the fine print. However, wouldn't a reputable business allow you to re up on your own, instead of auto sign up for their top level plan? How much would it cost them to fix this issue? Nothing. It's is also impossible to talk to a real person in customer service. They know they are smarmy, so they wall themselves off from complaints. Avoid this business like the plague. They advertise that they are a "Christian" dating site. They are a money-grubbing shady enterprise with a bunch of scary folks mixed in with sincere people trying to find love. Don't support their scam!

I paid the most I've ever paid for any dating site, thinking that my matches would have more potential but nothing. 80% of the accounts have no photos and no one local. I would NEVER spend my money on eHarmony again OR whatever service you use, do not allow them to commit you for a year like eHarmony does. It's trash and a waste of your money. I've had better results on the free dating apps.

I have tried several different dating sites which matched me with appropriate dates. All of the others allowed a trial of 1-3 months. Someone told me eHarmony was a better site so I tried. They only allow an option of 6 months and it is more expensive. I thought this might offer me a higher quality of dates but I was very wrong. In two months I did not have one appropriate date. I explained this to customer service saying I wished to cancel and stop my payments but they refused to comply. I found 3 other dating sites that had much better customer service.

Eharmony claims to provide you with quality matches after you take a shortened personality test. I subscribed for free, but you aren't able to see those "quality" matches until you purchase a subscription. Of course you cannot purchase a short term subscription. You can however purchase a ridiculously priced, reoccurring subscription. Wait... aren't you providing me with quality matches? Why must my subscription be reoccurring?
I selected the cheapest, 6 month subscription. My matches popped up and I literally said out loud, are you kidding me! Using a much cheaper site in tandem to eharmony I found that the matches were more quality, and I was able to select more filters. I didn't have to complete a personality test to find these matches because, I pretty much know what I want and don't want. I attempted to cancel my subscription 1 day into it. They claim that they have a 3 day no obligation full refund policy. But oh, only did I find out later, that is only in certain states. What? It's an online virtual dating site! Ok whatever. I deleted my eharmony account with them still collecting my money that they refuse to refund. This company is grabbing at straws to keep up in the online dating scene and they are willing to take advantage of their consumers.

The dating site Eharmony fails, in my opinion, quite miserably:
2. As mentioned before, I had to pay quite some money to access the site, around €70,- p.m. for 6 months (you pay double the first 3 months), only to learn that a friend of mine was able to get it for £11,- p.m. and not having to pay double.
3. I'd specified to look for a possible partner in Ireland, and failing there, the UK as well, only to receive visits to my profile from Australia, South America, etc. My profile must've been shared.
To say that I feel fleeced and duped is an understatement. I do not recommend eHarmony in any way, shape or form.

This service is a waste of money and offers a disappointing selection of matches. Their customer service is terrible and is geared towards adding extra payments to clients without their knowledge. If you do decide to sign up make sure you read the fine print as they do not respect any cooling off period and continue with charges even if you cancel your account.

I'm going to be completely honest and I dont really care if this sounds petty but I've had eHarmony for less than 2 weeks and I'm a single 34 yr old woman with a decent job a house, no kids etc.. The vast majority of my matches are well, less than interesting and I have yet to come across a single match that I personally find attractive.. Yes I know looks arent everything but it is a pretty defining feature of chemistry.
Also there are very few men within 60 miles of me that are matches in my given age range (29-40) which I think is fair for my age.. There are however a good deal of men over 40 and men who say they are in their 30s but look to be over 45 viewing my profile and sending me messages.. I'm not saying I'm a model or anything but I eat healthy, run, lift, do yoga and generally takes care of my appearance.. I feel duped that eharmony has my money. I'd rather sort through all of the unsavory characters on Tinder.

I took out a 6-month subscription on a payment plan with e-Harmony. I had previously had a good experience on this dating app a few years ago but did not have the same experience this time. I live in a rural area so my matches have been limited and most are an hour away. I believe this has been a deterrent for matches to make a connection with me. I asked eHarmony to make an exception and waive my last 2 payments and cancel my account due to the challenge of my rural location. Their response was to refer me back to their policy with absolutely no willingness to offer a compromise. I was well aware of the policy which is why I asked for an exception. As well they suggested I increase my search area to other states. I am not interested in a long distance relationship and I was angry that this was their “solution”. Don’t subscribe to eHarmony - they are focused on taking your money but not on making sure you are happy with their services.
