Elite Singles

This may make you chuckle, but when I signed up for this site I did not see where it said to check "I'm a man" or "I am seeking a man". The default is a man looking for a man. Nothing against that, but if one overlooks something this simple one would think you could change this without Congressional approval. No chance.

Once I spent the hour or so filling out the forms (which I think is a good thing) and they got my credit card info, Customer Service rode off into the sunset. I have written those people three times. In the meantime, I have men from all over the planet looking to secure a date with me. Okay, you should be laughing by now. Imagine how flattered I am.

But seriously, these guys will not return an email or an online contact form. Their robot tells me they are on my case but nothing but crickets. If they would flip one little setting from "man" to "woman" I would have given them a chance. But if their Customer Service is this lousy then I cannot maintain confidence in their search and delivery capability.

Okay, I am still chuckling, but have requested they cancel my membership and refund my money.

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

Run to another site. The content and layout are so bad. I wish I had known. I trusted the reviews I read and bought the premium, and now I can't get a refund because I passed the 3-day trial. That is unacceptable. I used it for less than a week to see if I could get better results. I want my money back, and their customer service said no!

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

I never saw the 3-day policy on refunds. I canceled my order and it was painful. I couldn't fathom dating someone living at the opposite coast of the USA.

When I dated a woman I thought I loved she turned out to be a wallet chaser. She was full of ultimatums despite her profile. I rejected women who were not as advertised. I rejected more who had certainly only wanted a sugar daddy.

I feel as though the payment amount and refund policy are there because this is a database set on garbage algorithms and fake information to make you think a lot of care and staff are dedicated to your search. Baloney. No wonder they stall your cancellation and refund expectations. I would rather go to a well-established site with excellent reviews like E-Harmony next time I try. They don't hide behind boilerplate systems.

One more thing. I am responsible and truthful. I don't appreciate "Elite's" business practices and policies. They deserve a minus 5-star rating. Save your hard earned money.

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

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

This site seems to be a scam. It's a dating site and being that the personality test shouldn't include certain questions as they have no bearing on finding a match. It asked the questions about religion and finances. Those attributes have nothing to do with finding love unless you're on a site that specifically accommodates religion like Christian Mingle. Then as icing on the cake, when on the financial question I put the minimum allowed income based on their monthly subscription. Then it said based on your personality test you are not a fit for Elite Singles and suggested that I try other dating sites that were for older people and people of religion, all of which I'm not. So it seems I've dodged a bullet with this scam of a site...Elite Singles will forever be single if on this site...

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

I joined Elite Singles and it was the worst dating app. The women were not "elite" at all. In fact, they were women who couldn't get dates on Tinder or Bumble. If you're looking for Harvard graduates, this is the last place to look. Very few of the women even attended Division 1 schools. There are no standards to qualify people other than the $100+ you pay. You're better off going to a bar in any major city in the USA and you can do better. From here on out, I'm doing it the old-fashioned way!

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

I signed up for the service at a $200 price tag assuming I was paying for a certain amount of months in advance. My "dating" status changed within a week and I canceled my profile and requested a refund, to find out that they only allow refunds for the first three days. NOWHERE during the sign-up process did I see that policy stated and given, I was signing up for a certain amount of months and I assumed I would get a refund for the remaining months. When/if my dating status changes, I will not use the Elite Singles site, that is for sure.

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

I would NOT recommend Elite Singles to anyone. They claim they are safe and secure, and they are not. I got presented with matches that did not align with the criteria I initially entered. They cropped my pictures, and I was not pleased at all with what they did to my pictures.

Elite Singles was not at all customer service friendly when trying to air my concerns.

I would never ever endorse Elite Singles to anyone.

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

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

I joined Elite three months ago and have yet to be matched with anyone that meets my criteria (location, personality, and lifestyle). A large percentage of men do not have photos because they likely are not paying for a membership and browsing for free. Even though my preferences state must have photo, most who I am matched with do not. The app does not work very well, particularly when it comes to posting photos. I didn't realize when I signed up the entire six-month fee would be taken out of my account so I am locked in a few more months. Ladies, do not waste your money.

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

I wish I had seen all the poor reviews of this dating site before I joined. I had joined after seeing it advertised. I kept getting errors when I tried to make a credit card payment then used another card which worked. Then I started having technical glitches on the site. I finally got through thanks to the email confirmation they had sent. Some of the matches they sent weren't bad, but quite a few of them did not meet the criteria I had specified. It's also ridiculous that the shortest distance is 50 miles away. Why not 20 or 30?

Once I started having the technical trouble, I did some research and found all the negative reviews for them on various sites. I had to call my credit card company and get a new card to prevent them from charging me again even after I had canceled my subscription (maybe a bit hasty but I'm not taking chances after some of the accounts I've read online). I deleted my profile and they said both on the site and in an email they were refunding my money. I hope this comes to pass. I've got the documentation to back it up, so hopefully, that would mean something. I don't like the fact that they seem rather sneaky and unethical, plus customer service seems hard to get a hold of. The few positive reviews I'm quite skeptical about.

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