Elite Singles is a terrible service

By Evan H., Atlanta, GA, Verified Reviewer

First, Elite Singles site is so hard to maneuver. You plug in your requirements and they send you every person including exactly what you didn’t ask for. They just tend only send everyone else that signed up.

I forgot that I even paid for this service. So I just got another ridiculous charge on my credit card because I haven’t been on the site in months. I asked them to refund my money, but they would not.

SCAM ALERT!

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

The most horrible

By Killian H., Los Angeles, CA, Verified Reviewer

The most horrible dating site, there’s no way to match with anyone if you are looking for an upscale reasonable partner! The search engines and the match test has no point. There is just a waste of time to fill out everything from that form. Stay away! It’s just a rip-off!

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

No response from the customer service

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

Highly misleading ads to get you in the door!

By Norman S., Gilford, NH, Verified Reviewer

The TV ads for Elite Singles claim that it is for highly-educated professionals. But many of their so-called "matches" indicate that they are simply high school graduates, perhaps some college courses, an associates' degree, and the like. SO they obviously do not screen out people who do not meet their own basic ad requirements - I assume it is because they want more paying "members." Also, many of the profiles indicate that the "member's" "wish is for "world peace!" As if this was an interview for the Miss America contest. Maybe they should have a category on their profiles to indicate that the member is a great baton twirler.

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

Disappointing, abusive

By Simon B., Quebec, Canada, Verified Reviewer

Customer service is no show! The mechanics are so strange. I wish I knew before I paid them.

They ask so much money for so little.

All but easy to deal with structure, frustrating system. Customer service nowhere to be found, good luck if you need help, except for your payment! A definite no go!

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

Different planets

By James Rolf, Omaha, NE, Verified Reviewer

I don't know what most of these people are talking about. I do not view this site as a scam. If someone meets people who lie, that is not the fault of the website.

The mobile app sucks really bad, so you really should only use the web app in a browser. It's true that you are not going to get a lot of matches in your city, unless you are in a big city. I'm ok with that. In my view, it is unlikely that the love of my life will be in the exact same city as me. Different strokes for different folks. If you only want local matches, then use another app.

I have met people from this site who I have been very impressed by. There are very few fake accounts. Most are real people trying to find a real relationship with someone who has ambition and a career. I'm not the most handsome man in the world, but a well-written profile will go FAR on this site. Check into the app once or twice a day and you will get a steady, but not overwhelming, stream of matches.

Every site has a different mechanic. The mechanic of this site suits me just fine. Good luck in finding your love - whichever site you use.

Bottom Line: Yes, I would 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

Scam alert - multi sites and users

By Chuck P., Dallas, TX, Verified Reviewer

I signed up with Elite thinking it was going to be a great service exclusive to paid members for starters. Well, that was a scam to begin with, and the matches are not very good. I chose a certain ethnicity and have been matched with about every type.

MATCHED WITH MY EX-WIFE FROM A DIFFERENT SERVICE!

I'm on Elite, she signed up for Silver Singles. From what I can tell there are other sites that use the same subscribers in various sites.

Imagine if we were not divorced and both happened to sign up, and then be matched this way! Lawsuit city...

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

Terrible

By Smash T., Colorado, Verified Reviewer

I have received three security notifications that the men I was talking to have been removed because they have broken the law. They do not respect the parameters you put in like race or distance or education level because I continually receive only people outside of my parameters. There is nothing Elite about any of their people. Most have less than a college degree and are in Blue Collar jobs. So their whole advertisement about getting people that are highly educated and high paying jobs and all of that that they advertise is a complete lie. I have been trying to get out of my membership since the moment I got on and I just get the runaround from their customer service.

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