      On 6/7/23, I bought a subscription to Cengage Unlimited for my FIN 411 class as it was "required". I found out a couple of weeks later after enrolling in my class that Cengage wasn't even needed. I was going to get a refund but found out that it was past the policy (>14 days). However, I needed it for another class (FIN 611), and when I signed up for the class, the subscription was already added. I was confused, but figured the subscription carried over from my previous purchase. Now, on 10/24/23, I see that my subscription has expired. So, at this point, I did not touch my 411 course on Cengage once. I've spent $132.80 for basically 2 months of FIN 611 and now I have to spend another $124.99+tax for another 2 months in order to finish the class. I've contacted Cengage and their chat response was: "I'm sorry for your inconvenience". I'm looking to get the remainder of my subscription covered.Purchase Date: 6/7/2023 Order Number: ***********

BBB asks third parties who publish complaints, reviews and/or responses on this website to affirm that the information provided is accurate. However, BBB does not verify the accuracy of information provided by third parties, and does not guarantee the accuracy of any information in Business Profiles.

    When considering complaint information, please take into account the company's size and volume of transactions, and understand that the nature of complaints and a firm's responses to them are often more important than the number of complaints.

    BBB Business Profiles generally cover a three-year reporting period, except for customer reviews. Customer reviews posted prior to July 5, 2024, will no longer be published when they reach three years from their submission date. Customer reviews posted on/after July 5, 2024, will be published indefinitely unless otherwise voluntarily retracted by the user who submitted the content, or BBB no longer believes the review is authentic. BBB Business Profiles are subject to change at any time. If you choose to do business with this company, please let them know that you checked their record with BBB.

    As a matter of policy, BBB does not endorse any product, service or business. Businesses are under no obligation to seek BBB accreditation, and some businesses are not accredited because they have not sought BBB accreditation. BBB charges a fee for BBB Accreditation.
