I wish I had read the recent reviews before joining eHarmony. EVERYTHING others have written negatively about the site/service is spot on. My prediction is that they’ll be out of biz soon. They’re desperate for subscribers, locking you into unreasonable time frames, and won’t refund your money even after a few days.

Original review: Dec. 29, 2020

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.

There's no way to go month-by-month with your subscription. They trick you into at least a 6-month "contract" and then REFUSE TO CANCEL YOUR SUBSCRIPTION, saying you agreed to be charged every month even if you don't want or will no longer be using their service. I had to change my credit card number to stop them from charging me. One month later, ZERO dates, and I'm out over $110.

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!

There’s little difference between the paid and free version. The algorithm is garbage. I was matched with my opposites. Horrible. It’s wayyy overpriced for terrible service. They don’t honor the 14 day grace period that is on their site. After 3 days of nothing, I tried to cancel. Sure, I could cancel, but I am going to be billed $223.00 for nothing despite the posted 14 day “cooling off” period. They refused to acknowledge the lies on their site. They just kept saying that they would keep my account open and add 3 extra months to my contract. What part of “Please cancel my account” is confusing.

I’m a progressive, atheist, urban, vegan. Why would I date a conservative, gun-toting Christian, hunter from the country? To each his own, but not even close to a good match. I think the algorithm is garbage and the customer service is terrible. All in all, burning $223 in the fireplace would have been way more enjoyable. It turns out that Eharmony has had multiple lawsuits about their sketchy business practices and billing. Overpriced trash.

Original review: Dec. 16, 2020

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.

Worthless. If the match is scientific then we should be similar. They should be looking as I am, no interest. No one looking. No one in my area. One response was liberal which means matching did not work, other than that no one I emailed responded. No interest. Not any. This site charges you fortune. You're stuck paying for 6 months and they do nothing and I mean nothing. 4 months and one poor response I call that nothing. No one in my area and no one I would be interested in. this site is worthless

Resolution response: Dec. 1, 2020

The company reached me out with solution for my concerns and I am fine with offered solutions. I will still double check if correct actions are truly taken and no additional charged are made in the next months and account is completely canceled. For now, I am satisfied with quick response to my issues.

Original review: Dec. 1, 2020

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.

This company only cares about collecting your money. They don't offer 1 month trials like other sites do, so you are forced to subscribe for 6 months minimum. After using it for 2 days I realized I hated it. But guess what, they refused to refund me and they couldn't care less that I wasn't happy. So basically they don't care if you like the app or not, if you used it for 2 days or 2 months, they will not refund you no matter what. Beware and st.

I am working my through college later in life, as the luxury is now becoming available to me. I hang out with lawyers, doctors, engineers, and have never dated someone without an education. I’m bright, hence the people I associate with. After a nearly three year dry spell I tried looking into eHarmony. I didn’t think they would say I only match the lowest bar on their site, such as construction workers. The language was so bad. So so bad. I didn’t want any of them to say hello, which probably wouldn’t have been spell checked and said hello. They were utterly sexist giving male and female roles to a relationship (of which apparently I fill both). Also, when living in a major metropolitan area, and not even 35 yet, only having 45 bad matches on the entire site. Yea. I canceled before giving them cc. At least I saved myself that hassle.

I am an advanced degree LAW student in Chicago and also teach a law class in Chicago (ironically, as stated on my profile -- so they know this) in the state of Illinois. These jokers won't honor the 3 day policy as required by Illinois law. Thankfully, I have contacts at the attorney general's office as well as at the Chicago Times so I will be alerting them to this unethical, illegal, and immoral behavior in times of Covid. The amount of money they took from me will NOT be worth the hassle of bad press and lost revenue.

Joined Eharmony as a premium member very recently. Two days later decided it wasn't for me due to a serious lack of people on this site. Asked to cancel my membership and for a full refund. However, despite only being a member for two days, they refused to refund me and instead attempted to charge an extra £22.00 bringing the sum total to £66 - claiming it was compensation for their matching system??.. What?!?! On reviewing their T&C's to find their 14 day cooling off period, it's very dodgy and you have to look hard in different sections to find the small print which says they 'may' charge a reasonable amount for their compatibility checker. What a sneaky, and underhanded way to do business. My advice would be stay away! NEVER AGAIN.

I signed up with eHarmony and was very disappointed with the services. Services certainly were not as advertised. I canceled and closed my account within 24 hours after signing up. Regardless, eHarmony made two unauthorized charges against my credit card, and they will not give me a refund. As a result, I since filed a complaint against eHarmony with the Better Business Bureau.

I'm being matched with women who don't fall anywhere within my preferences. Moreover, even they don't write back. I get plenty of messages on J4Dating.com -

there is no slick matching system there but you can just contact anyone and it's up to you to see how well you click (just like it's supposed to happen in real life). You can easily do it because most ladies tend to respond or contact you first. Moreover - I should have put it first - their women are gorgeous inside and out. I was hoping for something like this on Eharmony, but it turned out to be the exact opposite and completely useless.

I recently gave this site a try. I had heard good things from a friend (one friend) and I had also heard that online dating had picked up with the lockdowns. 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.

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:

1. Even though you can't force people to like you, a dating site should at least deliver enough candidates to possibly date. I subscribed to eHarmony.ie believing that it would give me the opportunity the meet people in Ireland. After paying an extortionate amount of money to get on the site, I saw that there were less than 15 candidates in the whole country, in my age group.
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.

I would give eHarmony negative stars if I could. I joined eHarmony at the beginning of July 2020. I paid ~$300 for a premium 1-year subscription. In that time, I've mostly been contacted by men who are scammers and men who are not paying members and cannot reply. I continue to be "matched" with men whose profiles have been inactive for well over a month (some up to 2 months) and men who are well outside my criteria. Traffic to my profile was ok during the first few days of my subscription, but over the past few weeks has dwindled to essentially no views (indicating poor exposure by Harmony).

I did not pay ~$300 for a sub-par service. Within the first 3 days of my subscription, I realized the service was poor and immediately contacted eHarmony for a full refund. I was told they could not refund my money. I decided to give it another shot, only to have the poor service continue. Since then, I've filled out their online "contact" sheet to request a refund. I received an acknowledgment email from the company stating that my complaint was received and that they'd reply in 24 hours. This has been a few weeks ago now, and I have received no response. I then sent direct emails to a provided email address: support.eharmomy.com, with no response.

Now, when I click on the link to the "contact" sheet, I can no longer access it within my account. eHarmony has essentially scammed me out of $300 and its customer service is abhorrent. I've been on other dating sites and their customer service has been much more responsive than eHarmony's. Avoid joining eHarmony at all costs.

I've been single for a while now and decided it was time to put myself back out there. I had tried several sites including eHarmony in the past and my impression was that eharmony was safer with fewer scammers. However, this time around, I've not encountered any scammers (good!), but also no one has liked my profile and only one person has even made an effort to respond to me. There is rarely anyone listed who's even living in the same state I am, and even if someone looks at my profile, they never initiate any contact. Most don't have pictures and most don't fill out their profiles so you even get a feel for what they may be like. I even wrote to eharmony asking for help and advice and no one ever responded.

I purchased eHarmony in 8/19 for our daughter, I knew I was in a one year contract. I contacted them to cancel the account before it renewed and they advised me she had to email them. She emailed them and they CLAIM to have canceled it but we still got billed 103.80. They now refuse to refund me! They rip off the consumer. Do Not Use Them!

I’m embarrassed to report that boredom and curiosity provoked me into clicking fast and NOT reading fine print. What I read was that I had three days to try it out for free, but after realizing I couldn’t really see anyone else on the site or access filters, I had to pay. I looked through the payment options and how much things cost. What I read was that it was $17 for the first three months, then it bumped up significantly. THIS WAS MY MISTAKE. I assumed (and we all know what that does) that I could fiddle around in the site and see if I liked what I saw for a few weeks and cancel if I didn’t love it. For $17, I was willing to sate my curiosity. No. Y’all, they charge 3 installments of ~$100 NOT the $17 for the first three months then the monthly charge.

It’s is NOT clear and while I did not slow down to read carefully, I would venture to say that the lack of clarity and explicitness is similar to the poacher-style loans you see on the side of busy college town streets. People are too caught up to read the verrrry small print and make an expensive mistake. I am so mad at myself because ultimately, I fell victim to an unclear marketing tactic. I found a hack to avoid the further installment payments, but I’m frustrated that I’ll be out the $100.

I recently registered with eHarmony and chosen 24 Monthly subscription, but I wanted to take on a Monthly base. They took the whole payment, even though I was asking them to cancel while I was still in 14 days cancellation from the registration. They ignored most of my emails and waited to pass 14 days (this is the period you can cancel your subscription) and took the whole payment at once. It's really very unprofessional service. The person that dealt with me was sort of annoying, telling me to spend time on the website instead of complaining. In that sort of manner. Terrible service. They don't deserve to be supported. I am very upset and I can't wait to finish with them. I wouldn't suggest eharmony to no one.

I would give eHarmony zero stars if I could. They want to hold customers to their policies, but do not hold up their end of their policies like the guarantee the site advertises. I paid in full for a 12-month subscription. The site was terrible and didn't help me to meet anyone. I stopped using the site several months before the pandemic and the national lockdown which kept anyone from being able to meet people and use the site services. I did not request a refund due to the pandemic hardship, which should be automatically done since this is an unprecedented hardship for many people.

Anyway, I was unaware of the auto-renewal since I didn't really use the site and haven't logged in months before the renewal. My credit card number changed, so they weren't able to charge me in July. I got an email in August with a bill I owed for $388.15 for another 6-month subscription. I emailed them immediately to tell them that I do not want to continue my service and that I haven’t used it in months. They replied with a legal policy that I must pay for the subscription unless I canceled before the renewal date. It was a few weeks passed the renewal date and I haven’t used the service, so I don’t feel that I owe this money. I was unhappy with their site, I haven’t used the site much during my paid subscription and I didn’t use it at all months leading up to the renewal date due to the pandemic. This company does not care about their customers and only wants to enforce policies without any consideration.

I am not seeking a refund for the year that I barely used and terrible service they provide. I wasn’t charged for the subscription they say I now owe because of my credit card number changed. I will never use their site again. I just want my balance owed to be removed for a subscription that I didn’t authorize for renewal and haven’t used. I would never use a service and not pay for it nor would I neglect to pay for something I received. However, I don’t feel I was treated fairly, I didn’t use the site, and I don’t feel I owe them for the new subscription that I didn’t authorize or use that they are forcing me to pay because it’s in their policy.

When I asked them for some consideration to resolve this matter, they emailed me back and said that I owe them for a 12 month subscription and not 6 month subscription like the original billed emailed to me in the first email. This is not what they said in the first email. You cannot tell someone they owe $388 for 6 months and change it to 12 months for $800+. This company needs to get their act together and not treat people so poorly without any consideration. Lastly, I was so angry about their business practices that I asked about how to fulfill their guarantee that is advertised. They haven’t answered any of my questions in several emails regarding this. They just keep telling me I owe them money even if I delete my account due to the policy.

I signed up half asleep thinking as they put it, I was getting a discount for three months for 14.95 a month. Gave them my cc# and went to sleep. The next day I checked the charge and it was 96.09. I called immediately to no avail. So I texted customer care. They said they could not refund my money. So I've been writing and texting ever since. Something has to be done in order to get a refund. There has to be a way to stop these crooks from taking our money, with no consequences. How about a class action suit saying how they dwindle people out of their hard earned money every day. They haven't heard the last of me any time soon. Predators.

I did not read the find print in the payment agreement that says you must complete a year's worth of payments, even if you are dissatisfied and want to delete your profile, something that is commonly done on dating websites...except for eHarmony. I believe this to be the equivalent to the scammers that often visit these sites. I received absolutely no views, no likes, no conversations, nor did I find anyone in my city of 250,000 among their subscribers. Now I'm stuck with the rest of the yearly subscription payments for a very lousy service. Don't fall for their scam that you cannot have recourse if they fail to live up to your even mediocre expectations, much less if you have to believe their ads and actually have high expectations. Thank you.

I signed up during Covid lock down. Believing by the verbiage that you can cancel at anytime. You can not and they continue to take money out monthly. I met one decent guy and beyond that it was pretty scarce. I'm an attractive middle-aged woman. I answered all of the questions honestly, filled out the profile completely. I had 3 guys total message me and aside from the one decent one the other 2 just disappeared. I wouldn't recommend for the time and the trouble and the continued depletion of my bank account. I consider it to be a total rip off!! I always thought this was a reputable site. Turns out they are just money hungry.

I was a non-paying member of eHarmony for 2 days and in that time 11 men wrote me. That seemed like a nice amount to me since the site promises quality members. Quality over quantity was attractive to me. Unfortunately you cannot view profile pictures of people who write you as a non-paying member, so I became a paying member on day 3. In the 38 days since, only 15 men wrote me. I work in data analytics and that’s not statistically possible if an environment stays the same. 2 days = 11 emails, 38 days = 15 emails.

I reached out to eharmony as I felt duped and wanted to cancel my contract. They wouldn’t allow me to cancel and had the nerve to give me advice on how to make my profile more attractive. As a comparison, let me share that I joined another dating site the same day as eharmony (Plenty of Fish) and I’ve had 200 men email me in the same timeframe and am actively going on dates! I can’t say for certain, but my theory is that most of the 11 men who wrote me the first two days on eharmony weren’t real humans but straw men whose profiles eharmony created to give me the impression that I would be getting a lot of emails, when in fact I barely get any.

In fact, I am writing this on August 11th, and in the entire month of August only 5 in total men VIEWED my profile on eharmony. I get at least 5 men writing me PER DAY on Plenty of Fish and I’m over 40! I suspect that there are too few members of eharmony to make any real pairings. I wish someone would subpoena their algorithms for matching people because they deliberately con you into believing you’re popular when your a non-paying member only to give you no return on your investment once you actually pay for the service. If there was a class action lawsuit against eharmony I would gladly join.

This site is selling you wolf tickets, nothing is real and authentic on here. Just a bunch on programmed bots and moderators making you believe that you're actually going to find love. When in reality they're just keeping you around in order to get paid. If you look closely, some of the people stop responding and randomly they unmatch you. This is an ongoing trend and people are just paying for false hopes and expectations.

This company is totally deceiving. When signing up, I thought I was paying $10 a month and could cancel at any time. Not at all. I looked at my bank account and they took out $156!! I was shocked. Of course, I tried to contact them immediately, and couldn’t find a phone number anywhere. I was forced to email them, and I didn’t get a response until 2 days later. I requested a refund and to cancel my account. They did neither, and continued to tell me I owed them 2 more payments of $156!! I never used the service and just wanted out. I had no idea I “signed a contract” to pay 3 payments of $156!! I’ve tried every angle to get my money back, even thought about taking legal action. Still searching for a solution. I definitely DO NOT recommend using eHarmony, they are very deceiving. And it seems like they do it on purpose.

Please don't get sucked in no matter how desperate you feel! Impossible to cancel your membership. You can't cancel online (although the website leads you to believe you can). You have to email or write. But no one ever answers your emails and there is no phone number to call. There is absolutely no customer service. So now I have to write to California? I guess I have to send a registered letter because how else will I know if they have received it? For all I know it's a bogus address like their bogus profiles... Obviously there is no accountability. There must be some way to warn lonely vulnerable people to avoid this site!! Avoid it like the plague.

Before signing up and paying such huge amount of money for this app, I had heard good reviews and I thought I give it a shot and see, maybe there will be more serious guys in here and I couldn't be any more wrong in my judgment!!!

- There are not many guys available in this app because it is expensive.
- The ones which are available are not any better than the ones who are in free dating apps, oh and to be fair, let me tell you, the guys in free apps are even more fun and entertaining.
- There are so many profiles of guys without even a single profile pics, let aside the rest.

- Majority of the guys I contacted follow the same ghosting trend, no difference because it is paid.

So, what I did, I raised my concerns (not many members according to my filters, no profile pics, impolite and rude guys, etc) to the customer service, and you would be surprised by the response I got from them; here are few:

- "Your filters are too tight, and your distance is small (50KM) and your age range is low (between 40-45). You can increase the population of the members by increasing the KM to 100 and age range 38-50!!!!" Really? Like no brainer, I can even date someone from Australia if I increase the distance to few thousands! Oh and trust me, I know what age range I am looking for, but thanks for the help!!!

- You can pass on your membership to a friend by providing so and so code! Oh, how am I even going to refer you to another person when what I see is already awful! I wish I would written a lovely review here, based on an amazing experience I have had with the app, and highly encourage others to subscribe, but nope, that is very remote as I am writing.

I have had so many communications back and forth and I don't want to bore you with those. All I am saying is, this is a business unit with the same corporate profit and loss concept and they care zero about who is there and who is not there. All they are looking for is money without providing any services. One important thing which was even more surprising, there is no background check on the members joining this platform. If at all you have an extra $250/- in your pocket please do just anything than paying for this app. All these have been purely my personal experience and I am happy for those who paid and got what they were looking for. Is there no rating star or negative that I can choose? :)

This is by far the worst experience I've even had. I joined so that I can try out their services for free as their website says "Start free today." During sign up, they did not give me an option to sign up for free and I had to select a subscription option. After signing up, I contacted customer service to move me to the free option. They told me that I will be charged the full amount of their services for an entire year because I signed up for a subscription and there is nothing I can do. What this company is doing is completely disgraceful... false advertising and taking your money. Please do yourself a favor and research before you end up spending ~$400 to try out their services for "free."

No number was working but they wanted to make me pay for more services to get a personal person for a fee. Then after they reply, it was a policy not disclosed at sign up that certain states could not get a refund and they had less than 10 candidates to review. Totally unexplainable for the fees of services.

This IS THE WORST of all dating apps. Customer service is the worst. The options are the worst. The filters are lacking. You most definitely do not get what you pay for with regard to any measure. Do not get sucked in. There’s no money back guarantee and they don’t honor anything. In fact, customer service blames you for not finding a match. Apparently, this company thinks that as long as they offer the compatibility score and some matches, they have completed their end of the bargain. Go with Bumble or POF... ANY of the other, more modern and easy to curate dating apps UNLESS YOU LIKE THROWING AWAY your money. I’ve been on a few great dates from Bumble and it’s free. I mistakenly thought eHarmony would have better quality because of the cost. Don’t be fooled.

If you are bored and want to invite some scammers into your life, this is the best site! My score thus far is 5 scammers from 6 "likes" in the two weeks I was online. You think you are having a nice conversation with someone (via the eHarmony portal of course) and suddenly you get a message in Serbian from someone with a different name asking you to please please please contact them on their personal email as their subscription is about to expire, better yet, please send your cell number and your personal email address. Or you stop receiving replies from a member and then get notification their account has been deleted, for reasons eharmony refuses to disclose. This happened 5 times and eharmony of course suggested it was my fault, kept quoting ad nauseam from their Terms and Conditions and repeatedly sending link on "how to keep yourself safe online".

I'll tell you how to keep yourself safe online, DO NOT JOIN THIS WEBSITE. And of course, forget about being able to cancel the subscription you were forced into. (You can join for free but cannot contact anyone without signing up.) Currently discussing this with eharmony via Consumer Protection Board. I hid my profile and you couldn't pay me enough to log in. Realised I'm really not that bored! Good Luck, you have been warned!

Eharmony is very manipulative. I signed up for a 12 Month plan for a total of $204 in 3 payments. The day after I signed up I reached out for them to cancel and refund me. They told me that I wasn't within the selected cities that are able to get their refund back within 3 days. I am very disappointed. They send you matches of people who most of the time don't even have full accounts to communicate with you. They are overcharging people for a bogus service and I am considering taking legal action against Eharmony to refund me my money in full. They are manipulative. Maybe Eharmony was a great service years ago but due to the other free sites or less expensive sites, no one is really signing up. I am very disappointed and someone really need to investigate this company.

I'm pretty sure that they have a program that "entices" you to find your match by having someone write you a personal note. They take advantage of your curiosity and desire for a meaningful connection and offer you a subscription "deal". This "deal" means you can pay $120 for 3 months, or $240 for a year. Most hardworking people believe that they should take the deal, without realizing that eHarmony's policy is to NOT refund offers if you select a program that pays in advance. I'm in a large Metro area in Atlanta, and I've had random notes from someone in the SE Asia, and one who suddenly disappeared when I matched with her- then paid to sign up to speak with that person. I was willing to let that go, thinking that there would be more promising matches.

It's clear that there are multiple fake profiles online, also that people are summarily dismissing a basic attempt to communicate. It's not worth the money, it's not worth your time, and quite honestly- I believe this is a complete scam. MAYBE there are people out there who will match and end up finding their partner. But if you could do an analysis of their success rate vs. the people who never find a match I bet you would see something like under 5%. I asked to switch to a 3 month plan so I could possibly get back some money, since this is a tough time for people financially, and this could have better been spent (IMHO) if I bought a bunch of scratch lottery tickets and got a bottle of bourbon. DO NOT BOTHER. "customer service" is not offered here, and they also do not make any effort to work with you if you're unsatisfied. Just canned responses and delays so that you can't find a satisfactory solution together.

IF you want to sign up- try for one month. You'll save your money- and maybe see that your experience is similar to mine. I'd also like to point out that most folks today have zero intention of meaningful dialogue. Either people are trolling for a quick hookup, or they are trolling you period. So many bots on this website. You could waste hours looking through their "matches" and your time is better spent trying to better yourself physically and mentally. I'd love to see their "success" rate overall. At best, single digits- over millions of people this is not successful or worthy of your hard earned money.

There is literally nothing positive I can say about eharmony. First red flag should have been that they demanded I pay an entire year’s subscription upfront which was over $180. Their deceptive advertising shows the membership price as a monthly amount. This is clearly designed to make you think you will pay on a monthly basis but that is NOT true. Second major red flag is they will not issue you a refund after 3 days for anything in the world. Seriously? You’re supposed to decide if you’re satisfied with your membership within 3 days!?

Strangely enough I noticed that I got by far the most attention from other members during those first 3 days of signing up. After that there was almost no sign of life. Really seems like eHarmony purposely generates smiles or messages from profiles they probably created themselves during your first 3 days of being on the site so you will not cancel your membership because then they would have to give you your money back. When I confronted customer service about this they would not acknowledge it at all and instead told me I wasn’t getting attention anymore (notice my use of the word “anymore” here) because I just needed to add more photos. My number of photos was the same in the beginning and I was getting way more attention back then. The quality of the site is just terrible. Their so called compatibility matching system matches you up with people you have nothing in common with.

Your search preferences like match distance are completely disregarded. I said I wanted matches within a 30 mile radius so instead I get matched mostly with men from other states! The match quality leaves much to be desired. This site seems to be crawling with flaky insincere people that string you along and ghost on you when it comes time to meet up. Many profiles don’t even include photos anymore. Furthermore eharmony keeps showing your profile to other people even after you cancel your membership so some poor unsuspecting person tries to message you and they have no hope of getting a response. This company is a bunch of horrible greedy liars who prey on people’s loneliness and vulnerability and they deserve to be in prison for scamming the public. Do not give them a cent of your hard earned money!

I live in South Africa and clearly stated that when I signed up to the eHarmony dating site. Eharmony is one of the more expensive dating sites and I thought that would at least reduce the chance of finding some of the thousands of dating site scammers. One cannot see where other potential dates are based/live until one signs up and pays for the membership. Once I signed up, I discovered that there are NO potential date on the same continent as I live on (not even one)! The closest matches distance-wise are 17,000km and 22,000km away from me! I tried searching for several weeks but constantly got messages from men in reply saying that the distance is too great (no real surprises there!)

But when I contacted eharmony to ask for a refund they initially lied about there being more than 200 people within 150miles of me. I went back to them and said it is clear that this is not the case, they then replied that there were 44 members within 150miles from me. Actually - their own site states that there are 44 possible members GREATER THAN 150miles from me. I tried several times to get them to acknowledge that and ultimately they simply say that I signed a contract and that all payments must still be made despite the service being useless for me. Very disapppointing, eharmony. I would not recommend this service to anyone unless you check whether you fall into their catchment area.

I was a paying member for years on eHarmony as a male seeking a female. While I got plenty of matches most gave me no contact and the few that had any form only gave enough to make me think they were interested so I would stay a subscriber. In the 10 years of using this service, I received a grand total of 0 actual contacts with women. It seems like a bot is running the responses to keep people subscribed while the site does not work matching you with actual people. My advice is spend your money elsewhere.

After initiating an account eHarmony asks you to answer questions regarding your interests, beliefs and what you're looking for in a relationship. It was tedious but I thought, wow, this is the way to discover more about yourself and the "fit" you're comfortable with. It was pitiful! After one month I had messaged 2 or 3 guys and had only one inbox interest.... who was not at all a match. And, speaking of Match.com, I initiated an account with that site owing to a deep discount (pandemic, probably). I wrote eHarmony and asked to have my subscription canceled & a refund. No way! This site is painful, costly.

This was one of the worst experiences I have ever had. This product is incredibly overpriced, yet the service is comparable to dating sites that are free. And the company is very inflexible when it comes to handling dissatisfaction. Read their terms and conditions, they won't budge no matter how unsatisfactory an experience.

Gave e-Harmony a try this past year, found it very lackluster. They try to sell you on a complicated compatibility matching system, and they offer a lower monthly rate if you take out a year subscription, rather than the ridiculous rate they demand if you only pay month by month. It's basically a ploy to sucker you into paying a year's worth of money for a service that offers very few opportunities. I had very few matches, and I live in a fairly large area with plenty of people within drivable range in many different communities.

Half my matches were out of country, which is pretty useless, especially when the country you live next to has some of the most difficult immigration policies and work visa programs worldwide. None of my matches went anywhere. I cancelled my service and now I'm obliged to continue paying 28 dollars a month until the end of the year for a service I'm not using, which is ridiculous. Found a great girlfriend the old fashioned way through work connections and will never use an online dating service again. Waste of money.

I was coached into signing up for free to check out the website. However there was no free look. You had to join and pay to proceed and check out website. It claims there are men wanting to connect with you. After paying there is no trial or money-back period (e.g. 3 days) in which to cancel the contract and get some if not all your money back. I signed up for Most cost effective agreement 6 months at $240. Nothing has happened in three months except for eHarmony collecting the entire $240 in three payments. No contacts. No responses to my reach outs. Limited individuals matched and active to choose from. I had more responses on Match.com and other websites than this one. Received one response. Most people do to show their face. Why?

Keep in mind that I have 6 hrs experience with this dating platform literally, but that should tell you a lot. eHarmony is not interested in consumer retention. It's excellent at tooting it's own "success" horn, of which I do not doubt that they're great at what they do--my issue is with their business model—a system where EVERYTHING hidden behind a $60/month paywall. You want to see the message that someone just sent you in your first couple of hours on the platform--HELL NO! Not unless you pay. I get that we can't see their faces; that makes sense. However, even the freest of all the dating apps give you access to conversations. Seriously eHarmony, try something new. Throw out a "gotcha" and watch more people sign up.

Inconsistent pricing, the only reason I sign up was because I got an email with a promo offering 3 first months 50% off and they still charged me $160 and when I dispute the charge they said I can't cancel or get a refund. According to them I have keep the stupid membership for 1 year. Oh and they tried to charge another $160 again on top of that.

Before anybody joins they show you pictures of very good looking people, and come to find out they are models that they paid for. It’s very difficult to to connect with another person without paying a sizable amount. My experience with one man is that after getting to know him a little better (by way of writing) I just wasn’t interested. He reported me and the site gave me a verbal warning, telling me that if they got another report I would be banned from the site with no money returned to me. At that point I was done.

The most expensive sites I have used and they attempt to justify the price with a convoluted psychological profile. I contacted their support a couple of times to no avail. Once to question why some of my photos were not allowed. They replied that I had more than one person in the photo. I replied back that I had come across several profiles with photos with multiple people. Their reply: “that’s something we are not allowing anymore”. I contacted support again in reference to all the profiles they were sending me without photos and asked if there was a way I could filter those out. No was the reply on that one also. I just expected more options and better support for the price I was paying.

I am a female matching with males. Psychology professor Barry Schwartz found that having an infinite number of choices is detrimental, paralyzing and exhausting. There are many profiles with zero pictures. Many that will message for a day or two and then disappear. I don’t know if it’s eHarmony bots or real men with Choice Overload. Whereas I have 3 matches in my city and one has no picture. One has no eyebrows. And one hasn’t read my message yet. It doesn’t seem like anyone on is there in my age range for a committed relationship.

On the other hand, my best friend is in the South and she has met her soulmate on eHarmony in the same time I have been a member. Perhaps I am the cursed-in-love one. I do celebrate that eHarmony is global and countries of your desire can be selected to match from. And I do always feel safe on their platform. Each member can easily block and delete with or without a reason. And during the pandemic eHarmony released a new feature in beta testing called Video Date. On sale for $300 for 6 month membership, it does include a fascinating personality profile. So stay positively optimistic, singletons! It’s a confusing frustrating tedious part time job to date online. Every one of us is worthy of being in love.

So 6 months ago, I pay approximately $200 via PayPal for a 6-month membership to try eHarmony. I knew my membership would be ending soon, so I wanted to try to see who I had messages from to respond before it was too late. Any dating site I've ever been on still allows you to log in to retrieve any messages that transpired during your membership period.

NOT eHARMONY! I tried to log in and am totally BLOCKED. All it will let me see is a renewal page. Apparently renewal is automatic, and I had canceled my payment method so it would not renew. Thank God! Now they want a FULL 12-MONTHS paid for (NO OTHER OPTION), at $550.80!!! That is INSANE! I would NEVER pay that much! They will not allow me to view any messages that occurred prior to this membership end date. I feel that I PAID for those messages and should still have access to them. I WOULD NOT recommend eHarmony if they conduct business this way!

I joined with the basic membership. Then I paid for a subscription. Here is what it was for me:

1. Fake “free basic membership”: if you join with basic membership, they get the right to sell all of your personal Information to their third parties, and what do you get? Nothing. Others’ profiles will be blurry, you cannot email them not even if they are paying members. If you don’t pay, you get absolutely nothing but having your personal info sold out there.

2. Signed for a paid membership: they don’t have short term options, so at least you will pay around 200 USD, minimum. Matches are extremely scarce to say the least. They won’t let you out of the contract even from the beginning, and will make you pay the whole service even so if you don’t want to keep going.

3. Customer care is unreachable, unless it’s in their own terms: they have a phone number which will never connect you to a real person nor solve any issue. Also, all you’ll get from calling is an automated message telling you to go to their website, and send a form which they will reply at their own convenience.

4. Matching system is worthless: their matching algorithm is pathetic. You will get matched with people you have nothing in common, and in fact, they will match you with people you specifically asked not to be matched within the questionnaire. Example: divorced, with kids, religion views, political views, etc. I respect everybody’s preferences, but preferences exist for a reason. And I am paying for them, so it’s the least I can expect. I think that what happens is that they don’t have cool people to join due to their lack of selectivity.

5. They don’t truly confirm the profiles: I got a “match” with someone who said to be someone he was not. But since they do not have a confirmation method like most of online ratings platforms, be aware that you may get a scammer who fakes her/his identity.

6. They don’t have many quality profiles: this last one is a personal opinion. Nevertheless, it’s worth to read by people who really wants to find a relationship. Most of people in this website seems desperate. Not to tell that most of people who joins seems to have lost all hopes to find something decent somewhere else. I think that for what you pay here, it should be more selective, and the dynamic more appealing. Don’t waste your money here. Bumble, Zoosk, even Plenty of Fish, are much more appealing than this fishy and outdated website, you can communicate with your matches without paying in the other sites, and the extra features are not as insane expensive, or extended. Rather put a quarter of the money in those other websites if you want the additional features and walk away whenever you want. eHarmony is a leech, and it’s not likely you’ll get matched but with a bunch of losers.

Disgusted to find that when I wanted to cancel my 24 month subscription after 2 months as I found I wasn't using the site, they wouldn't let me and wanted me to keep paying for the next 22 months, even though I wasn't going to use the site and requested several times that they delete my account as they don't give you the option on the site. I'm currently seeking legal advice. Nowhere on the welcome email, FAQs or subscription details on the account does it say that the subscription can't be cancelled. They've quietly hidden it in the T&C where you'd never spot it because...what kind of dating website has a lock-in contract?! Avoid at all costs.

I'm sure for some people this service will work just fine. For me, however, Mr unattractive lol, it doesn't seem to be doing anything for me. I got it about a week to a week and a half ago. I have tons of "matches" but up to this point I get ignored, generic replies about being too far away (which I can understand) or something like "I have determined we are not a good fit" despite our compatibility score being high. Not even a hi or a chance to even talk. So so far, I have opted for the 6 month with the 4 payments plan. Now I know I wasting my money, which for someone that is disabled is a lot.

Not being the best looking and disabled is a hard sell so I know it's not the website's fault but I do think a week or two trial to try out the site with all features would of been nice so I wouldn't of spent like tons of money which looks like it's going to be for nothing. I may be wrong but I don't even think I was offered a one month payment plan, the minimum was 3 months I was able to choose. At any rate, the site seems well done, could be a bit more options but otherwise it's well laid out. Just wish I didn't have to pay them so much for well...nothing.

I went online two years ago and thought I would at least receive notice that the account was being renewed automatically—or give me a chance to drop out. I stopped using the account a year ago and now they say they charged me for the last 12 months in which I no longer used the service. Sadly, I now think this is a deceptive and mean-spirited, money-grubbing corporation. I am sure many people do find their true love through eHarmony, and because of this, they shouldn’t be automatically renewing your account and charging you without giving you notice they are making an automatic charge.

I signed up for this “service” after many years of contemplating it and was left very dissatisfied with the entire experience. Used the free service almost two years ago and when I started a paid subscription recently, the personality profile questions I had answered two years prior were used. That was the first red flag. Shortly after I had a man ask me about my political stance on Trump and was berated and blocked. Red flag number two. Next I started conversing with another “man” who I quickly suspected was trying to catfish me. I reported the incident and the profile was removed but in reviewing several other profiles, I started to see patterns of suspicious profiles.

At that point it was 6 weeks into an annual subscription that I paid $240 for and had had enough and requested a cancellation of the annual membership. I offered to pay for two months at their advertised price of $60 per month. They refused and said I signed a contract. Told me to put my membership on hold and return at a later date. NO- this “service” is poorly run. Absolutely no due diligence on their part to ensure the integrity of their members. Why would I or anyone else choose to pay money to find a compatible match only to be stalked by fake profilers??? And the refusal to end a membership when a fair compromise was offered? That’s just pure greed. If you are considering this service because of the brilliant advertising with the elderly gentleman who claims to be the founder as I did- don’t, he’s not running this business his cronies are and they have no interest in your satisfaction once they have your money. I think they’re the catfish!

I signed up and saw that there was a 3 day cancellation policy that would allow you to cancel without remaining committed to paying the rest of your contract. Well they are sneaky and only offer that in certain places... none of which are in Canada yet when I registered from Canada that information was on the site without any indication of restricted location. So they pull you in and force you to stay paying regardless. Not only that but the quality isn’t any better than free apps, especially in my area. Better off to save your money and use Bumble or another one that doesn’t force you in for a year.

This site does not live up to its claims. Trying to cancel your subscription is a hassle.

The computerized match up isn't all its stacked up to be. Although there is a certain type I go for it's near impossible to rely on algos to direct me to them. You can find yourself being too picky and come up with 0 if your criteria is too precise. Eharmony is one of the well known date sites that have a fair number of area people on it along with the deadbeats, fakes, and the questionable like all the others. It comes with its own set of credit card issues, recurring charge problems, cancellation hassles like others. I don't know if you'll find love or not I didn't but there's not that many people in my area to look through. A lot of people are scared of all the scammers out there.

They ask politically correct and vanilla questions instead of relevant and game changer questions about the big 3 or 4 that end most relationships. It's a known fact that most relationships end over money, sex, children and I would argue politics now as well. In their 20 minute questionnaire, not once did they ask me what I was looking for, they just assume I'm looking for a clone of myself, which is not the case at all. They assume that I only wasn't someone in my income bracket, at my level of education and with my child history. At no point do they ask, in any way shape or form, if those things are important to me in a potential relationship. Instead, they want to know if I'm more comfortable in a tux or khakis, how I would respond to being a party where I don't know anyone, if I heard something that I found offensive, would I speak up or ignore it. Who cares???

I know marriages that have ended over political differences, people that are omitted from guest lists over political opinions and Thanksgiving dinners that have ended in near fistfights over politics and they never even mention a word about political affiliation or how strongly you feel about your positions. Personally, to me that's a game changer. Statistically, 85% of women have at least one child by age 40, but they don't ask about willingness or desire to help raise and support someone else's children. To me, that's a major commitment and very important. Regarding money management, not a single question. Are you frugal, live beyond your means, a saver, a spender, work with a budget, etc., etc. Nope, they would rather know if wear shorts or slacks.

Regarding sex, they only vaguely make mention about what they call "intimacy". How important is "intimacy" they ask. Well, some people call a peck on the cheek and holding hands being "intimate", while I have a completely different idea of what I want to know about a woman's wants and desires regarding "intimacy". So, as I said, they don't address the key issues that statistically end relationships and thus, must be critical to having a successful relationship, but they sure want to know if I want a casual dinner or a formal dinner.

Their matching system isn't functioning anymore. There are some fake profiles (the prettiest one) made up to boost their popularity. They resort to all kinds of fraudulent tricks with automatic subscription and unexpected charges. I've never encountered problems with billing on J4Love.net, I joined it after eHarmony started playing their financial tricks on me. They have a lot more good-looking (and real!) women as well as a clear billing system. Even though most of these beauties live far away, it was easier to make dates with them than it was on Eharmony. I don't plan on using dating sites any longer, because one of these dates went extremely well and it looks like I've finally found my girl!

I signed up with eHarmony with the understanding I had a free trial and followed all the recommendations to build a profile with pics, and put a lot of effort in every question asked. After completing my profile eHarmony said I had almost 2000 matches, nonetheless, when I started to reached out to my matches I noticed most had not been on in weeks or months. I had only one response in 3 days and decided to cut my loss during my trial period. Here is the big lie. The phone number is ran by a phone bank in India with the same canned speech from each person saying they will forward my information to customer service and wait for an email. At the time of this review, I have made phone calls but not one email from customer service. Dig into real reviews and you will get the same overall answer. eHarmony is a fraud dating website, with outdated profiles, and poor customer service. If you don't like your money then sign up or better yet give it someone in need rather than this fraud dating website.

I initially paid 160$ for what I believed to be a 6-month subscription and came with a slight discount. When the second month started, I was charged another 160$ and upon asking customer service was told I signed up for one year at the full rate of almost 500$. I'm still in the process of disputing it. I didn't find the quality of matches worth 500$ a year and even when I simply requested for my account to be deleted they said that they would just keep charging me.

Back in the day I remember joining Eharmony and feeling that my interactions were very special and even though it was a long process to even just communicate with someone, looking back it was a great system. NOW on the other hand this site SUCKS! Not only is it expensive and they rope you into paying without allowing for any type of refund is something goes wrong or you want to cancel (make sure to always read the fine print), but also the new way they do things is NO better than on the free sites. I came back to Eharmony because of what I remembered about how you got quality matches and had to work hard to even communicate with anyone. I started this new subscription about a month ago and since they I have hated every moment of it!

First off when I tried to create a decent and interesting profile it wouldn't let me go beyond 500 words and then I cannot even see the profile summary that I created. Instead they want to answer their stupid questions and check things off to create a profile of sorts. Also I get way too many matches which makes me believe that they are just matching people to match people and it isn't as special as they make it seem. Then when I attempt to reach out to someone I never get any type of response whatsoever. I have had more traffic and more dating options on the free sites than on Eharmony. The amount of people as well who don't even have photos is astounding to say the least. Again, why am I paying so much for a site that would let someone build a profile without any pictures?!

Overall this site is HORRIBLE and not worth all of the money. I have read some other reviews and find it interesting that any of the positive reviews I have found have been from previous years and since 2020 ALL of the reviews have been negative, what changed?! Obviously something and not for the better. I am happy to cancel my subscription and tell everyone how horrible this site is and never ever return. This site is NOT at all special and I am going to go back to the free sites for sure!

Online dating can be a great experience for someone who is comfortable with the prospects of meeting their future in this forum, however if you have never done it. You may want to reconsider the attempt. I have never experienced an online dating forum so as the rest I created a profile and even before I had a photo posted or profile complete. I was suddenly having my profile favored by men whose faces I couldn't see.

I did complete the profile. After reading an agreement that told me I had 3 days to terminate the subscription without further charge and for a refund. I decided to open the subscription so I could read messages sent and see the perspective suitor. After 24 hours of feeling a bit like a piece of meat, I decided to cancel the subscription. Eharmony so informed me that though they were sorry to see me go, I still had to pay for the subscription. Buyer beware, the company is not there to create compatible mates but rather take you for your money. Lesson learned.

This site scammed me out of hundreds of dollars. They say you can cancel within 3 days. I tried to cancel within 24 hours because I got orders to go to Iraq, and they wouldn't refund my money. I contacted them numerous times, and every time got a cookie cut response that they would not refund my money. I opened a complaint with the Better Business Bureau. eHarmony has no sense of customer service, they don't care if they provide a good service, or if they provide any service at all for that matter. They just want your money. I would never recommend.

I joined and realized within a day that the same people on eHarmony are on Plenty of Fish. Some people even post in their profile, "I am not paying. I am on POF". I emailed requesting they honor the 3 day cancellation policy and they refused stated that it is state specific. Although there was a state specific in the group of rules it was not listed under the 3 day cancellation section. There were no good matches at all for me as I believe that they just do not have enough people joining due to the price. I was online for 1 day and now will be charged 420 dollars with no recourse expect reviews. PLEASE do not join Eharmony - plenty of fish and even Tinder have the same members as Eharmony!

On March 3, 2020 I signed up for six months with Eharmony’s dating site which was advertised at $29.95/month to be paid in one installment of $179.70. On March 9, 2020 they took $329.40 from my account. There is no phone number for customer service, you have to email them. They say it could be up to 48 hours to get a reply back. I emailed them and did get a response once I told them that I was going to submit a claim with Consumer Affairs. However, I was told that nothing could be done, not even a refund because my claim is outside of their refund policy. It’s been 1 week since I signed on with them. Consumers have less than a week to file a claim or grievance? This whole thing is unacceptable. Can they actually get away with this?

I set up an account and then after a couple of days decided to pay for the six months. Immediately regretted decision and within less than 24 hours, I shut down my profile and sent a request to cancel my account. I asked to simply pay for one month - obviously my error but to no avail - they absolutely refuse to oblige. So I am on the hook for six months - their response was so rude. Just because I am in Canada we are not entitled to a 3 day cancellation option. Do not use this service!!!!

Eharmony case **. I signed up for eHarmony service one 2/29/2020; six months service that included a 50% discount so my cost should’ve been around $124. I was charged $239.40. I contacted customer service and Henry D refused to issue me any sort of refund just sending me some sort of terms and conditions and reference state requirement. I paid via PayPal and they refuse to do what’s right and duped me into paying for a full year when that’s not what I signed up for at all. The fact that they refuse to help and that Henry D would even do anything shows a blatant legal disregard to my right and good business practice.

I’m not asking for anything outrageous – just to be charged what I signed up for. Scamming me out of an extra hundred dollars may sound small but how many people are they doing this to across the country and world. It’s probably large enough to be considered federal and for the FBI to investigate because it’s likely over $100,000. All I want is what’s right – my hundred dollars refunded to me.

I think eHarmony is deceptive. The first month, I was given compatible matches. They must have felt that I was a compatible match as well, because we exchanged messages and I met with one. However after a month or so, the matches became less and less frequent and irregular. The quality of matches was also very poor. Many of them were older, unattractive, of lower education level, and very far. Hardly anyone viewed my profile either. My profile was complete with photos. I'm fairly attractive. Nevertheless, hardly any men have been viewing my profile for the past 2-3 months.

When I contacted the customer service asking them if there was any glitch, perhaps my profile would not pop up, they kept sending me the boiler plate response. One of the reasons for lack of matches was that I only "chose ** and Asian men" in Los Angeles, the largest city in the world. I contacted them 4 or 5 times about the lack of matches. A lot of matches did not even have any photographs. I have no way of knowing whether these are real members or just fake ones created by eharmony.

I've been on here for 6 months, having been thru twisted statements with vague multiple meanings. I was lead to believe I was paying for an introductory 1 month trial, but they took over £150 over 3 months. When I queried this they were very obtuse and would only quote company policy as answers. For me it's not been anything like fun let alone hopeful. Algorithms just dont cut it. Someone may have the same interests or read the same book once. But if there is no attraction it's probably not happening. Nothing positive has been forthcoming, At all. All I've had is traffic from candidates who look old enough to be a parent. And generally live over 60 miles away. Which is strange in itself.

Then in the following days after my subscription ends, I am suddenly flooded with girls who like my profile and want to get to know me better. Looks extremely suspicious to me. As I suspected from the onset. The latest joke is when I replied to the latest of these msgs the response of the girl who is interested in me was Quote "upgrade your subscription now" unquote. And I've noticed, whilst I was paying as a premium member, all of the icon pictures of people on the site where previously silhouettes. And now they're visible but clouded. ????

I signed up for eHarmony and within 1 hour realized that there were no suitable matches and many ghost profiles. I immediately emailed requesting refund (they list 3 days refund policy) only to receive updated version of terms which only lists certain states that practice that. 1 hour?! They’re the same company that offers free trial and 3 days free? They are the worst most unreasonable company. Impossible to even find telephone number for live help?!

I feel the product was not truthful. When signing up there was not a clear message that customer could not cancel anytime reasonably. I feel their service is Deliberate to deceive customers. It charged for the entire year if customer wants to cancel. The service was not good/terrible service. Most matches were on fraudulent activity or wants a booty call. There is no toll-free number to get in touch with Customer Service. The number is disconnected or no longer in service.

Whatever you do, no matter how much you "wanna find love or that certain someone", DO NOT USE EHARMONY!!! So much for answering all their questions. Their system STILL pulls up "matches" that in no way meet your criteria! And pay close attention to what the packages they offer for you'll find yourself getting charged not monthly, but in 1 lump sum! I made the BIG mistake of signing up for the lowest months pkg which was 6 months (they don't offer 1 month like all other sites do).

Within 20 minutes I realized it was an impulse purchase, and went to cancel. 20 minutes, mind you. And HE had already charged not the 1st month on my cc, but all 6!!! I chatted with a rep right away and said it was $40 a month. So WHY were all 6 months charged so quickly??? I told them the pkg said "A MONTH", not "one time payment of". They said sorry, but it was too late! I read through the disclaimer & found a direct email to Accounting. Explained that this all happened w/in 20 minutes. FINALLY a supervisor relented & said they'd keep 1 month and refund the rest "as a 1 time courtesy". OH, well, THANKS A LOT!!! Oh, and don't bother googling for a phone #. Anyone you find won't work. Odd, huh???

So many friends kept telling me to get on eHarmony, it's supposed to better for finding love, versus the sites that have more of a hookup image. So, I took the plunge and paid hundreds of dollars for basically nothing. Hardly any matches and of the ones I did receive, there are no pictures or anything because they're either bots or don't want to spend hundreds of dollars to join. I've since joined Bumble for free and have received way more positive contact with matches. I want my money back or the ability to find more matches. This very limited pool where I'm not even allowed to look through others is annoying. Total scam! Don't fall for the hype, wish I wouldn't have. All the advertising in the world doesn't fix not having members to match with ok on the site.

Tried to just get on to see how the site worked, etc. Made me go through a lengthy questionnaire immediately... not a problem but I got logged me off after 15 minutes into it due to being “inactive” however I was going nonstop through the lengthy questionnaire. The questionnaire had typos, various questions that cannot be answered definitively (can be situation specific) so one can only provide random answers, various questions also showed obvious age (younger) bias. If they do not care about initial impressions, then they are not quality oriented.

I wish I had read the reviews on here on our deceptive Eharmony is when it comes to their terms of conditions and how they treat their customers. I recently signed up for a premium membership for 6 months, but cancelled after one day due the fact their there is an abundance of "ghost accounts" and bots (you can tell by the same information on most of the profiles). After Google searching their terms and conditions (https://static.eharmony.com/files/us/images/terms-conditions/terms-and-conditions-us.pdf), it looked like I could get a full refund if I cancelled within three days of signing up. I did what the terms stipulated - and waited.

4 Days passed and no response. Finally, I followed up and hours later told that the 3 day stipulation did not apply because I was not in an eligible state. Unknown to me, I did not have the most recent terms and conditions. In the most recent version, now Eharmony stipulates that a hand full of states qualify for the 3 day grace period. As such, they rejected my refund.

A simple mistake now puts me out hundreds of dollars because of this. Why Eharmony has multiple versions of their terms of conditions on their website is unknown to me - I've already started exploring legal options as this seems fraudulent and misleading to customers. I've also reached out to my payment provider to explain how misleading their website is. I don't need to stock reply Eharmony - I already know my course of action since your decision is final. DO NOT SIGN UP WITH THIS COMPANY. It's a scam - pure and simple.

I have been on my own for a while, my daughter decided to get me an eharmony subscription for Xmas. When I logged in after payment, I realized the site was not for me. Within 1 day of paying, I asked eharmony for a refund; which they refused. I was signposted to their terms. This states that if you live in a certain geographical area you can get a refund within 3 days. This day and age, it is quite concerning that people are treated differently based on their geographical location. I wonder if eharmony should review their terms so everyone who subscribes to eharmony can get a refund within 3 days, independent of where they live. I would appreciate it if the money paid by my daughter as a xmas gift can be refunded, so I can go to a dating site better suited to me.

I paid for a years subscription with eharmony. Well over 80% of the contacts made to me are scammers. It got to the point, where I would not respond to someone until at least 48 hours had passed since their message to me. This gave ample time for eHarmony to remove them from the site. I am not sure if everyone has this experience, or if I am just some kind of target profile. I know that not everyone is a scammer, because I can see my neighbor on their site. Someone is making an awful lot of money off the backs of dupes like me. Don’t get sucked into this scam.

This experience has been a nightmare! It is very costly. I completed my profile and chose 60 miles or less as my distance. Up until recently the least distance has been 80 miles or more. My subscription is about to expire and all of a sudden the matches I'm getting are within my mileage parameters. They used to provide a phone number for Customer service, but that is no longer available. I recently changed my password and can't log into my account even though I know I'm using the correct password. I contacted them through email, which is the only way I have found to get technical help) and the email response I got told me to log into my account in order for them to help me. HELLO, I can't log into my account that's why I contacted them. They should provide a live chat at a minimum!

I never really felt comfortable using an online dating site. I feel eHarmony is more than willing to charge you lots of money, but once they have your money their customer service goes out the window. The matches I was sent didn't match my parameters. ABSOLUTE WASTE OF TIME AND A LOT OF MONEY! TOTALLY DISGUSTED WITH THEM!!!

If any of you have signed up and for some reason want to keep using eHarmony, cancel your subscription, somewhere along the process they offer you a 10$ a month rate to stay, although even that is too much for the mediocrity that is eHarmony. I've been on eharmony for just over a year now. I'm a decent looking dude with a good job, own house and detailed profile with lots of pics. I've dated 4 women off of there, so it wasn't a total waste. Of course, there are a ton of fake, free or ghost profiles. I've tried contacting close to 100 women, so a 4% success rate is about par for the course (welcome to online dating).

In October they overhauled the site, it literally is total trash now. I get about 5 "matches" a week, and of the last 50 matches, over half have no photos, and over 3/4ths have 1 pic (a free profile who can't respond to you). They also have removed compatibility based on religious beliefs, considering it WAS founded as a Christian based dating site, this is totally ridiculous!

DON'T DO IT. I am really glad to see that there are few people who have gone to eHarmony and made their connection. But it is hardly anyone. My situation is a bit complicated. I was lonely at a certain time of year and jumped the gun in signing up for eharmony instead of stopping to think what the problem might actually be other than being single. Turns out, it was a recent loss that had me thrown, not the end of my marriage 2 years before. At the same time, the place was creeping me out. There are people there who are professionals. They know exactly who is new and how to talk to them. Professional creeps.

I got in touch with customer care within 3 days to explain I wanted out but they basically kept shutting me down and telling me it was outside their cancellation policy. So I learned a very expensive lesson and you can be rest assured it is a mistake I will never make again. Once I decided to cancel my subscription, they kept trying to convince me to stay, but again no compassion. So I said, get me out of there, I will eat my expensive mistake, just delete me. Finally they agreed. Never again. Not ever. If I am single the rest of my life, it is better than being letched at by creeps. Good luck to you if you're there. But honestly.... don't bother. And the fact that they don't have compassion means that they are JUST AS BAD as the creeps they let on the platform. Buyer Beware.

I am an educated attractive single male. I’m not into bar or club scenes — never have been — so I tried eHarmony in 2009 and thought it was okay. I met several people and clicked with many of them, eventually entering into a long-term relationship with one of them. In 2018, a few years after that relationship had ended, I tried eharmony again. Completely bogus. Fake profiles left and right, coupled with exorbitant prices; and what made it worse was that the quality of the customer service had gone downhill, fast. So I tried eharmony again two months ago (late 2019), and again, another horrible experience. Horrible prices, matches completely outside of my parameters — if not altogether fake again — and again, the customer service was atrocious (another poster commented that this may be all connected to Neal’s retirement which may indeed be the case). It used to be where you could call eharmony’s customer service; now, you can only email them.

I never minded that eharmony dragged you through the mud with their hour-long Q/A and self-examination session because in theory, it sounds good. The reality, though, is that it simply filters out people who have no patience and who are not as dedicated to finding someone serious. However, at its core, i.e., to deduce the best possible matches for YOU, eharmony’s compatibility analysis is a total scam, nothing more than a futile exercise in pop-psychology (no matter what they may have you believe).

So in December 2019, I joined Match.com. Not my favorite site because without the filtering process (i.e., the Q/A torture chamber) that can bring you more dedicated, patient and serious matches, you are instead exposed to many more types of “fish” in the sea (and speaking of “fish,” don’t even get me started on that POF site full of the dregs of society). But if you can instead use some that patience that you saved after avoiding eharmony’s scam to do your own filtering on match.com, you can accomplish the same thing and at a FRACTION of the price that eharmony charges. Anyways, that’s my two cents worth.

The men are gross, they apparently do not read your desired characteristics and their pictures are just lazy.

I was very frustrated with this service. I signed up for a 6 month trial for my daughter as a birthday present. She never received any local prospects, only ones too far away to even arrange a date. I was billed automatically, without consent, for another 6 months. I tried to cancel my subscription by contacting the service department, but their response, in so many words, was "too bad." I then requested a refund since I immediately closed the account. Again the response was that this is in the contract. I don't know how businesses are allowed to operate like this - taking your money then not refunding it when the service provided was substandard.

Eharmony does not allow you to see your matches until you purchase a plan. I foolishly did so only to discover my nearby “matches” did not have complete profiles or even photos! I contacted customer service. I should not hear that they do not have a phone line, so if you have an issue with your subscription you will have no way of resolving your issue by phone. Even though I had used the service for a day, I was given no refund for a six-month subscription. I am deeply unsatisfied with this platform. I would recommend paying for OKcupid over this over-priced junk.

Oh my, words don’t even explain literally how bad of a site eHarmony really is! If you want to waste your money, have no chance of getting your money back and be underwhelmed, this is the perfect site for you. Most of my matches were like 200+ kilometres away and that defeats the purpose because I was looking to date and get married in my hometown. You can’t even filter out the ones you don’t like so instead, you have to scroll down through all the ones you passed on! Customer support is literally a joke. I emailed them after 20 minutes of signing up because I hated it so much. Customer support (online robot) then decided to deny my request for a refund for no good reason even though I was still within the 3 days. I even tried to phone not one, but two phone numbers and both were fake. I am warning you with all my heart not to fall for this shenanigan. You will be very unhappy and you will get NOTHING for your money but misery.

Very few matches available and most people don’t complete profiles with pictures and other pertinent information. Customer Service will NOT refund your money. They just keep suggesting you search for broader age or distance. Very expensive and not worth it!

I signed up for a three month discounted subscription. So I thought. It was a yearly subscription with three months discounted. They have charged me for the whole year in the first three months. I tried to cancel within a couple of weeks and they do not let you out. No customer service, no refund policy. They changed their format so I can't see compatibility feature for the majority of my matches. SCAM, not worth it, run for another site.

I was new to online dating, but eHarmony seemed like a site I could trust to do their best at providing potential matches. Their policy states that you get three days to try their services & if you don’t like it you can cancel for a full refund as long as your 3 days isn’t up. Well I initially contacted them on day 2 to cancel because I didn’t like any of my matches from the two days, and I knew it wouldn’t work out. It is now month 3 & they’re still charging me over $90. They did not cancel or refund my account because they say I didn’t qualify for the refund. Don’t choose this site. There’s lots of other apps that Give you better options & matches for much lower costs. Trust me!!!

I paid for the year plan and have been so disappointed from the beginning. I attempted to get a refund within 24 hours of purchasing with no success. Was actually told to increase my age range to over 10+/- handbook out of state!!!! There has been ZERO activity with any matches. So so so disappointing and VERY LIMITED OPTIONS.

Fraudulent practices! I signed up for a 3 month subscription $29.99 per month. Reviewed the site and wasn't happy with it. The next day I emailed customer service to cancel my subscription. I take a look at my account and they debited it $143.60. I sent them an email to dispute this amount and they claimed I subscribed for 1 year! Are you kidding me??? I thought they were kidding. Well, of course they weren't. They resolved to do me a favor and not debit my account 3 more times and supposedly gave me a break. They will not refund my $143.60. I've contacted the BBB. They should be shut down! A company not to be trusted.

EHarmony uses fake profiles, outdated or expired customer contact. They auto renew your subscription and there is zero Customer Support. If a home he stood behind the product they would be available to help the customers.

When I first signed up and owed them money, I got plenty of matches and I was satisfied, but as soon as my payment plan was paid up, they had changed the format and now it sucks and a lot of profile don't have pictures with them and everything has changed and not for the good, I have sent them emails trying to get my money back and can't get it back. These people are a Scam and should be shut down.

I have been using eHarmony since May and at first I was in general satisfied with their service. The proposed matches were adequate, it provided a good readable overview of the interests and expectations of other users, one could filter the search according to country of residence and, very important, I didn't experience any technical problems. However, the platform was updated in October and it is now a complete disaster. Confusing criteria for the selected matches, many users with deleted user names, including me, no option to filter your search by country (except for five English speaking countries and Brazil...), not even the option to search by continent.

But the cherry on the cake is that now, when I am back in my home country Bulgaria for the holidays, my access to their site is denied, without any explanation. A Russian girl I was chatting with earlier reported to me that the same happened to her and she can only access her profile using a VPN tunnel. This is a complete shame, as we are denied service after we paid. I don't expect anything better than a generic answer response saying how sorry are they for my negative experience and the main reason to write this review is to warn other users, especially people from Eastern Europe.

So I signed up for e-harmony since they said there are millions of active members, so when I signed up I signed up for 6 months, and when I saw that with my criteria there may be only 20 people who I am compatible with I tried to cancel and they say I cannot till my 6 months is over and they won't refund me... This I tried a week after I signed up. Terrible site and very misleading!!

Not only is the customer service unreachable, the service I purchased was not satisfactory. I’m not upset that I only met and went on 1 date with 2 separate people. What is frustrating is that I get people who have high compatibility scores, yet do not match what I would find physically compatible. Nowhere in the survey is physical appearance addressed, yet it is quite an important factor. I know the service cannot guarantee matches, dates, or finding ‘the one,’ but I do believe I did not get my money’s worth, and the computer algorithm doesn’t factor in what is quite necessary to some. I’m disappointed. And to recap with the customer service, I was able to email them (I think) with no response. There was no way to provide feedback to them with the hope for some resolution. Instead, a review like this must be created. Not worth the money.

I tried to cancel my account within 3 hours of signing up for the service and they refused to accommodate the request, because of where I live. They told me that I should just try to enjoy the services that I paid for. I knew within an hour or two of signing up that it was not for me. Do NOT be fooled into giving them your money, there is nothing special about this online dating service. It's a trap!

I have been with eHarmony since August with no luck in procuring a date. All my matches are miles away from me which is ridiculous if hoping to meet someone. Since it was updated last week it has become like a ghost town and you can not browse who is online. Save your money.

Absolute rip off, do not waste your money. No matches in 6 months, despite the enticing emails from eHarmony. Had many pictures and smiles from people way outside my practical travel area. I mean miles and miles away in different provinces. And yes, I had it set correctly. I took my account off Auto Renew and instantly 90% of the “match” pictures went away. There has been zero activity. They will not allow me to cancel the remainder of my account (not even looking for a refund). It will expire in a couple of weeks and I expect that I will be inundated with potential matches once the subscription is over attempting to lure me back. Won’t happen. Strongly recommend you save your money.

You can not cancel or get any kind of refund. They charge you for entire year and auto renew. After just a couple of hour I requested cancellation and a refund just to be emailed multiple times telling me no from generic customer service reps. They say 3 days to cancel in agreement but that won’t apply to your state, they say federal “cool off” period don’t apply, or buyers remorse or lemon law, or your state laws on contracts. Complete rip off, criminals. Beware.

I signed up a month ago and have had very poor quality matches. They won't give me a refund or prorate my membership. I am unable to see who is out there. I had no matches for over a week and believed my account was offline. However, it's still active but no matches. They tell me I need to broaden my search in terms of location and lower the bar. I had much better results with Match.com. EliteSingles gives me matches regularly although most are not good either. I'm going back to Match.com. Why didn't I go there first? I wasn't ready for a serious relationship last year; and I wanted to see if there was a different "pool" in case one year was not long enough to encounter a significantly different pool.

The amount of fake profiles are just unbelievable. Obviously no one reviews or screens these profiles. They allow free/fake profiles at the expense of paying customers. Since they’ve changed their format it’s even worse.

I paid for 12 months on eHarmony, and only received a very small number of profiles over the whole year, and no-one contacted me at all. After my subscription ran out, I received at least 2 or 3 every day, but couldn't get any further than sending a smile back, or sending only 1 message, and couldn't read their messages or see their photos, as they were blurred, and popup asking for me to renew. It felt as though they hadn't allowed my profile to be shown at all until my subscription had run out. I didn't renew, just deleted my profile completely, as sure it was a scam.

Once I took all the 'tests' and actually purchased a membership, is when the issues started. First my matches lived at least 100+ miles away from me, then they all looked double the age that I gave as the age range. Plus you cannot tell, who is actually an actual member and who is not (bait and switch). I messaged several people and never received a response (they still use your picture whether or not you purchase a membership or not - so crooked). So I wrote an email to their customer service, telling them how disgusting I think their unscrupulous business practices are. They informed me that they were sorry I felt the way I did and would still be taking another payment of 55 dollars again. I highly DO NOT recommend this site at all! Their business is dirty and they prey on those looking for a partner. They won't last long!

Signed up a few months ago. The first person to send me a smile was removed by EH and I was discouraged from communicating with him. I thought "hmmmm", odd. Then I get into a conversation with a match, like him well enough to meet and GET THIS!! He hasn't been a member of EH for over a year!! He still gets emails of matches sent to him by EH. Wow. Here I am paying ridiculous non-refundable membership fees and the one and only communication and date I have had was with some guy who isn't even a member. What a joke. The only other message I received was from a guy who lives in Brazil. Funny. My preferences ask I only have matches searched out in a 30 mile radius of San Diego. Avoid this dating service. A true rip off, waste of money and time.

I used eHarmony last year and it wasn't too bad. After my subscription expired, I got emails from them daily with all kinds of matches. I decided to re-join recently and since then have not had a single email from them. I have no new matches in the 3 weeks I've been a member and the ones they originally sent me are mostly out of my geographic area. I contacted them and they told me it was my fault and that I should broaden my search area. However, I later signed up for another site and have had quite a few matches, all within my parameters. I tried to cancel and was told, like so many others, "tough luck". Be warned that they are not a good company to deal with. They take your money and don't give you what you paid for. It's a scam!!!

I purchased 6 month subscription and canceled the same day and they are still not willing to refund the payment for all six months. This is pathetic. In USA there is no where you can't find a refund even a used item can be returned and take a refund if you are not satisfied with the product. This is extremely unsatisfied customer service. I have emailed few times to them explaining my situation for cancellation. However they are still not willing to refund the payment.

I joined recently and was surprisingly disappointed at the lack of matches to choose from. Of the 2 contacts I made, one deleted me for not responding quickly enough and the other was reported to eharmony for some unknown inappropriate behavior. Total waste of time and too much money. It's basically a RIP off in my opinion.

I was a paying member of eHarmony, it didn't work. I didn't renew. Now I almost get daily e-mails that (someone's name) is interested in me. If I wait 2 or 3 days before I look at the profile of that woman, almost inevitably "Her profile has been removed" which means they are sending me people, they know are phony, to entice me to become a member. That happened last time too, so many woman were interested in me when I was a non-paying member, but not when I became a paying member. They have also been sending me "a great deal, half price". When a check on the website it is half price of their exorbitant fee, but they want a two year subscription for close to $500. I guess people have not been renewing after one year.

They have the same picture for two different guys. I’ve deleted people and they show up again. I can’t change the distance. They shorten me by 1 1/2 inches. How can I get back and make changes? Not happy at all. It’s too confusing.
