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

I was on EHarmony for one month, was charged for six months. Tried to cancel, was charged for six months and than turned into collections. I would not recommend E harmony to anyone!
It's not fair that you don't get a free trial. Especially if the pictures are blurry and you can't see them until you start a subscription. I've been a member since June and I am still waiting for nonwhite men to join eharmony. I called complaining 3+ times, wanting a refund and they're going to give me three extra months for free.
I bought eharmony maybe two weeks ago now, what a waste of money! The first day right after I bought it there was already nobody in my area, it kept saying expand your search, although already at 60 miles.
I have yet to meet one person I'm slightly interested in. I've had no conversation and honestly not going on the site anymore, it makes me feel more hopeless. Excited to waste my money paying for a site I won't use. Not to mention the site is set up terribly. This is my first review ever at almost 40, this is not my style but I had to write one to warn everyone DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY! Try other sites.
I signed up for 2 year in February 2023, I used for 3 weeks found not useful so I stopped using it. Very limited match. Months later, they threatened me with collections. All they care about is money.
Terrible!
They immediately took $86 dollars from me when I joined. I pick my match radius of 100 miles, there like only 7 matches that pop up. They won't let you just scroll all profiles and pick out who you like, worst dating site ever, definitely not worth the $86 dollars that I spent.
There is no full refund. They sent you an email for your personality report (based on what you told them about your personality :)) immediately after being a member to prevent you claim a full refund. Even if you cancel your membership within an hour, they charge you £65 for the report that you did not request or purchase.
For the cost this site it is not worth it. I was on for the entire year and was matched up with one person close to my location, that I was able to meet. All other matches were 50 miles away.
Stay away, Eharmony is below average, and they don't allow photos that are in a group setting.
So after having my heart broken and a desperate state of grief, I was wooed by an ad to an e harmony trial subscription half price for 1 month 17.99. I went through with the process and immediately get a notification from my bank. I have been billed $453. Somehow I was signed up for a year membership. I don't have a year membership to anything. So I'm definitely not signing up for a dating site. I've never used before for a year site unseen. I immediately called and filed a complaint. Of course, they refused the dispute it then stand behind their no refund policy. What kind of company has a no refund policy period these people are thieves. I have never been on this site. I will never be on the site
EHarmony is a horrible "dating" website claiming you can "Find real love" as well as claiming it is the "HIGHEST QUALITY DATING POOL" and "THE #1 TRUSTED DATING APP" on their website at sign up. High quality? #1 trusted dating app? My answer-no. These are just a few of their outlandish claims.
I have done eHarmony before back in 2018 and tried it for a month and they are neither a good dating website/app, high quality, or can be trusted. First off the website makes it difficult to find someone if you are a woman and the profile system doesn't ask enough questions so you don't know who you are really talking too. There are a lot of catfishes on here that eHarmony does not care about because I have reported a few profiles with catfishes but nothing is ever done about it.
Secondly, here is why I say they stole my money. I got a Premium Light (6 months) membership and that is $65.90/mo. Or $395.40 total but instead of charging me $395.40 they are charging me $449.60. That is $54 extra! Also, I should mention as of writing this, eHarmony is still charging me but has blocked my access so I can not even log into my account.
Final thoughts, if you want to keep your money and want to meet REAL people, do not even bother with this site! It is extremely expensive for the little you get. Customer service is terrible and does not care and only wants the money and after that, you are on your own.
Probably the worst dating site I've tried - that is being polite!
Gay guy fell for the spiel after break up and to be fair i got a 50% discount on 6 month membership but even after paying they MAKE YOU AGREE to paying them £65 for a personality profile if you cancel BEFORE allowing you to view anything! Once you agree they email you the profile. I did try not to agree as didn't want it but as mentioned they still blur everything and restrict access until you do agree
Finally got to see what I paid for and TBH, this might just be from a gay point of view but the number of profiles meeting my criteria was less than 20! Not exactly as they sell their service so decided to cancel within the cooling off period.
Anyway, short story my few days cost me £65 for the profile I didn't really want and never even got to message a single person.
Just beware if you do sign up - there is no actual cooling off period if you sign up in the UK without paying this fee for the profile.
If you are gay - absolute waste of time anyway so don't bother
Although I set a (low) height restriction of 5'9" it was not honored. Neither was the distance restriction of LESS than 30 miles. NOT EVEN CLOSE. I think I got 1 of those! Drinking habits/politics, many other things rarely matched. Find another site.
This web sites falsely advertises that membership can be cancelled, IF YOU CANCEL THEY COME AFTER YOU FOR COLLECTION after collecting the first payment and total unsatisfactory service no response to my e-mails, and unavailability of members within my area I consulted my attorney and based on the total unsatisfactory service I was advised by my attorney that I have the right to cancel membership ( that is the law), after a period of 2 weeks this membership was cancelled by email and by phone call, the web site was never used again and additional payments were cancelled, as I was directed to do by my attorney this was a total loss and I found the web site making many false claims and to be a fraud, and I actually requested a partial refund for cancelling,
This website is a fraud, no payment under any circumstances will ever be made to this fraudulent dating website.
Barbacoa barbqcoa barbacoa barbacoa barbacoa barbacoa barbacoa barbacoa barbacoa chicken chickej chicken get this nasty $#*! off my screen
I had used eharmony many years ago when it was still run according to its founding principles. That eharmony is dead and gone. Now it exists as a scam! Several states have recognized this and require eharmony to issue a refund if cancelled within 3 days. If it takes you longer than 3 days to realize its a scam, then you have to raise the issue with your cc company, your attorney general AND the FTC.
Eharmony engages in numerous shady business practices. For example, NOT letting you cancel! This means there are many people who realize its a scam and yet they can't get out. Their profiles are used to fool new customers into making it seem legit.
Other things:
- Few people who are a potential match in the whole country, much less within 100 miles. Unless you live in a metro with several million people.
- Fake Profiles! Yeah if someone looks kinda good they are most likely a fake.
- Can't filter out obese people in searches
- Can't filter out politically opposite people in searches
- Charging people after they cancel!
- Go to Trustpilot you will see nearly 1,000 complaints of eharmony and the numerous ways their business model is now outright scam!
- they advertise one price and charge you another!
Keep complaining about eharmony scam on all sites and to all authorities until they get shut down!
Class Action also long overdue! Where are the lawyers? Or do they know the only $ eharmony has are what they conned out of people today?
Their subscription locks you in for a minimum of 6 months out of which you cannot get out. It's very expensive and no refunds. The website is also quite dead. Avoid at all costs!
EHarmony is the best marketed / worst product I have experienced. Having a minimum search range of 20km (2 hours commute one way!) is plainly impractical.
I spent 1 hour on the site, found six people near me or matching my life style (I don't drink alcohol), immediately requested a refund within 14 days.
EHarmony then charge me £65 for a nonsense psych evaluation. Do yourself a favour use Hinge, Bumble, Coffee Meets Bagel, OKCupid or Plenty of Fish
Beware singles. They mislead you with costs. I was supposed to be charged $59 but they charged me $360. There is No customer service telephone or chat. This is crazy
I I asked for cancellation and refund of 3 payments out of 4. I called to cancel within a week I signed up as I was not at all satisfied. I cancelled the renewal as well. The answer I got was that they will not refund but give me three extra months for free. If I am requesting for cancellation and refund but you are offering me three extra months... How do you explain that? You are willing to offer me extra months that I don't need but you are not willing to refund me for the services that I will not be using. Please think before you sign up. This company has no sense of customer satisfaction. Its just a money making tool.
E-harmony baits people on their website into year long contracts stating you can cancel anytime. If u cancel all monies are owed immediately no matter how terrible their site really is! I had a very hard time entering the site all the time. Then when i finally got in i was presented with all the same people over and over! When i contacted e-harmony they were rude and asked for more money! E-HARMONY IS A SCAM...PLEASE DONT GET CAUGHT UP IN IT! There are plenty of better sites available MUCH CHEAPER!
They promise you the world and deliver nothing. Almost all matches are the same for 3 + months, most are out on chosen mileage area. When I tried to tell them I am unsatisfied and want to cancel and refund balance they don't reply.
RIP OFF!
Answer: EHarmony is over rated and it's a lot of mumbo jumbo... If you're going to pay for a site match.com is set up much better and for a free site plenty of fish is really a nice site... BillyPrewitt.com
Answer: No. They won't refund you.
Answer: On your profile where you get asked questions like whats your fav movie and so on. Replace any answers you have already left with offensive language which in turn will violate their terms and conditions and they will have no option than to close your account. As for getting a refund good luck.
Answer: I called my credit card company because I cancelled within the three day grace period. Eharmony tried to say I had waited too long and therefore would be no refund. My credit card company disputed the charges, my account was credited and I was just notified that the dispute has been approved. No more eharmony charges. Hoe things work out for you.
Answer: You can't opt out. You are locked for the whole duration of your subscription even if u dont use it anymore they will charge ur visa regardless untill ur contract expires. I have to spend 11 more months to a site I cant use coz Im a transgender woman and no man in there wants me.
Answer: Well I have but I No longer on those sites anymore because they are scammers of course and I was on match truly.com and I deactivate my account off there as well but however sometimes I register on that website match truly.com even though I'm No longer a member on that website anymore because I still see the same lady Anna I'd Number is 60780729 and she's still online right now just like any other ladies you see on that site so I go on there just to waste their time and use abusive behavior against them to teach them a lesson and I don't pay money for that so that's why if you Noticed just pay close attention to the lady Anna on match truly.com and you will see her on wishdates.com and many other dating sites so I'm just tracking these websites down and you can see the ladies are Not real and can you tell me what Normal person would stay online 24 hours a day and seven days a week that's Not a Normal person that's a Networker and they like to make all kinds of excuses for themselves so don't listen to Nonsense about what they say because if you keep talking to these fake ladies they will Robb you out of your money so pretty much wasting your time because you are Not getting anywhere but a dead end and believe me I know what I'm talking about because I was on that website for two years and believe me they are phony and so is the customer support they are fake and they think they are very intelligent human beings and they think they can manipulate people so just watch yourself and be careful because I'm still seeing the same ladies on that website today from two years ago they are Not real and they are Not looking for anyone
