Cons

  • Smaller membership base than similar dating websites (eHarmony and Match)
  • Higher subscription cost than similar dating sites
  • No more “elite” members than similar dating sites
  • Limited daily matches mean you might not hit it off with someone right away
  • You can only search the full membership base through the app
  • Low average rating from customer reviews

SCAM. If I could give it a zero I would.

By Jamie R., Denver, CO, Verified Reviewer

I signed up for this site then deleted my account during the free trial period. I then got charged over $100 with no notice at all. When I tried to get a refund, I was told I could not because they only have a three-day refund period after the charge is posted. I have told them I deleted the account, told them this was an unauthorized charge, etc., to no avail. This is a scam to steal your money. Do not use.

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Not as advertised

By Myara C., Lewisville, TX, Verified Reviewer

I've been on the Elite Singles (ES) website for three months (bought the six-month package), and it has been a total waste of time and money. Over half of the profiles they send me have no picture, and I've noticed several duplicates of profiles I've previously deleted. Also, I've received several "security alert" emails regarding men who have contacted me, which tells me that ES is not pre-screening applicants well, as they claim to do (the lack of photos on many profiles also indicates that to me). Several of the profiles appear to be hastily created and contain next-to-nothing about the person. Again, where's the pre-screening? I am very disappointed with the site and hardly visit it anymore, even though I've paid for three more months. Save your money!

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Elite Singles is a scam

By David A., Syracuse, NY, Verified Reviewer

They promise you at least 20 matches per day and talk about how the quality of their service is great, but they are based in Germany, do not have phone support and just take your money and do not provide service.

I had to go to my bank to get my money back after their scam.

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Membership payment

By Christine N., Arizona, Verified Reviewer

Hi. I registered on this site on January 4, 2019 and I have paid my three months membership on the same day. I got my matches through email, but I cannot contact or send a message, every time they ask me for payment again.

I tried to contact the customer care, I got an automatic reply ticket number 14625616, but I haven't managed to get anyone to assist me to this problem, and I still need service or to be refunded.

Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Overrated

By Jet M., California, Verified Reviewer

I have been on this dating website for a few months. It is a headache to look at the photos of the site’s members. Why? Because the dating site crops all photos too up close, like mug shots. You can’t see people’s bodies or photo background, it’s all FACES, up close. How many mug shots can you look at in a day? Why is this dating website FIXATED on cropping people’s photos to the closest close-up? It’s not helpful. You don’t know if the face you are looking at has a body at all or if they are even residents of planet earth. There is no way to tell, because Elite Singles only post photos of people’s FACES in mug shot mode. Disappointing, to say the least. I want my money back.

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Don't waste your money.

By Erik P., Michigan, Verified Reviewer

I spent $90 for a premium membership. I thought I'd give it a few weeks try and the one woman I talked to lived in Colorado, and I live in Michigan...that was one of their matches for me. I tried to get a refund for my six-month membership which they will decline. I'm now one month into membership and nothing, the few matches they have are at least 300 miles away. I've had way better luck on sites that are free. Don't waste your money on this fly by night site!

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

The worst dating site on the planet

By Donna S., New York, Verified Reviewer

I am not sure whether this is a scam, or whether this is a real company. There is no phone number or email for this company. I have signed up after reading that this is a good dating site. They charged me $173 before even allowing me to go on the site. Once I did, I found out that the men then connected me with have nothing to do with the qualifications that I have noted looking for. They are asking you hundreds of questions, to make you believe that they would do the right match, but while I was asking for a man 5'9" or taller, then matched me with men 5'6"; asked for Jewish, and they matched me with Christian; asked for professional and they matched me with blue collar.

There is no place to call to complain, no email. Nothing. They just charge you and then do not provide the service they describe as providing. This is a scam and I hope that not many people will fall into the trap.

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Nothing "elite" about this site

By Denise R., Somerville, NJ, Verified Reviewer

There is nothing "elite" about this site, other than the cost. I chose this site as I believed the hype that it attracted those with college degrees. Not so. Plenty of men with high school diplomas contacted me, even after I marked education as "highly important." I was sent matches from hundreds of miles away and the pool of men seems quite small. From my perspective, this site draws men who seem arrogant. Not a fan and I will return to Match as they have a larger number of prospects from which to choose.

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Not what they say they are

By Hilary L., Springfield, PA, Verified Reviewer

There is no way that all the people on this website could be classified as "Elite," as I understand the meaning of the word. Also, the website is user-unfriendly and every time I logged in I had to change the parameters again. I didn't want someone who was 300 miles or more away! I didn't want someone from age 1-100, either.

Make sure you cancel your membership BEFORE it automatically renews. I canceled the day I got the email (one day too late) and was charged for SIX months. When I asked for a refund, they told me I had "no right" to a refund and would not give me my money back. I have used other sites and canceled, then given a refund for the time not used.

This site is just like all the others...just keep that in mind if you sign up. People just move from one site to the next, so there are a lot of duplicates. And don't forget to cancel ahead of time, or prepare to pay money for services you no longer want.

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

What a JOKE

By Amy B., St. Louis, MO, Verified Reviewer

Terrible. Didn’t meet a single soul from this site, I’m questioning if they are really real live men! What a JOKE.

Extremely expensive. Trying how to figure out how to deactivate my membership and that is seeming to be a problem! I hate stupid crap.

Bad experience

By Katrina N., South Carolina, Verified Reviewer

I had a very bad experience. From day one my account had some bugs that cropped all of the pictures I downloaded. I couldn’t pick my own profile picture. The one "they" picked the system cropped it the way that my face becomes two sizes wider! Than it takes forever for them to review it before you can delete the picture!

Then on my match list, I had multiple 2-3 profiles of guys with the same profile picture but different names and ages! How creepy and scary is that! They told me it’s another bug...my question is, how many is their profiles of me cloned with my wide face! Lol, horrible app, horrible site. And the worst is that after my account has been affected by all the bugs, the company won’t refund me money! I couldn’t even use it for a single day!

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend
