      We are roughly 3 weeks into a return to Peloton, it has taken 4 conversations with agents to work through the problems to get a refund. Peloton has had the treadmill for over a week, confirmed by their agent, at their facility, but have not provided a refund. After making contact with the 4th agent, they provided that they want the accessories returned. Absolutely, I tried to return those with the shipper when the tread was picked up. This agent, after 3 weeks into the return, Peloton having the treadmill provided that they will withhold the refund. While I understand that all products have to be returned I am not disputing that, we attempted to return them on our end when the tread was returned but the shipper said they won't take it. This has/was never communicated, going into the 4th week of the return, we finally got a shipping label to return the accessories. This agent provided that when they arrive at the facility and Peloton has the chance to process everything they will move forward with the refund. Additionally, this has been escalated to a supervisor 3 different occasions, with no response/avail. Every agent has provided a different response at this point, and blamed issues on the previous agent.

      Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We apologize that the process of returning the Tread was not easy and that it we missed the opportunity to communicate that the accessories must be returned as well. We have processed the refund for the Tread and the Accessories. Please contact ****** to obtain time frames for refund processing. As we have completed the refund to Affirm, we consider this matter resolved

      Attempted to upgrade to a bike plus from original Peloton bike and after waiting 12 days for delivery Pelotons delivery provider no showed. I called RXO after my tracking abruptly switched to canceled and they claimed the delivery team called me twice despite that I didnt have a single incoming call on the day and never left my apartment. Better yet this occurred halfway into my delivery window with the warehouse 15 minutes from my residence and they still wouldnt deliver. Spent 1.5 hours on the phone with RXO and they couldnt provide me with a new delivery date, refund my order or connect to a supervisor after the 45 minutes I spent on hold. Absolutely horrible experience as I wasted an entire day home from work for a company that had no intention to deliver my bike.

      We purchased a bike in 2019. We were happy with the purchase, so much so that we ended up buying a Peloton treadmill in 2021. Since 2019 we have paid $45 a month for the subscription and have purchased apparel and weights. My wife has ridden well over ***** rides and uses the machines daily.Over the weekend our bike's screen shut down while selecting a ride and did not power back on. I contacted Peloton support and after troubleshooting the issue I was told that the screen would need to be replaced for $375.I feel insulted by this. We are loyal members and are considering a row machine but seeing as how Peloton does not stand behind their product is giving us pause.All I ask is for a free replacement screen. The issue with ours is internal and obviously a defect

      Business Response

      Thank you for bringing this to our attention. Every purchase of a Peloton device (Bike(+), Tread(+), or Row) includes a one year standard Limited Warranty. Members have the option to purchase a Protection Plan that allows for extended coverage on the equipment. Once the Limited Warranty ends, our policy states that any required replacements or repairs would need to be out-of-pocket expenses. As a gesture of goodwill this Member was offered a discount on the purchase of a new touchsreen, which they have declined. Now that this Member's issue has been addressed, we consider this matter closed.

      I was gifted a Peloton bike in March of 2024 by my mom for my birthday. With the purhase of the $2500 bike, she also gifted me a 1 year membership to Peloton which totaled to $580.00. The order number for the gift card is (**********). I have had problems with m memership and the customer suppport team since the day I got my bike. They have actively been charging my card $47.52 every month since March for the membership even though I have a $580 credit to use. I am not exaggerating when I say I have spent numerous hours on the phone with support trying to get this resolved. Everyone is giving me the run around and no one can seem to resolve this issue. I have been made false promises to receive calls back or given bogus numbers/emails to contact for additional help. I am beyond frustrated with my experience and want this issue resolved, as well as be compensated for the charges I have received this year and be issued some sort of compensation for all my incoviences during this process. I do have plenty of receipts I can put together and attach as well if needed. Thank you!

      On July8, 2024 my foot was locked inside the right shoe. I called customer service and spoke with **** who was no help what so ever. I explained to **** I couldn't unlock the shoe from the bike and on every attempt the strap tightened up, and that i was home alone and could not reach any object to assist cutting the strap. **** stated no supervisor was available and that she could only submit a ticket and someone will get back to me in ***** hours. To get my foot out of the shoe was a nightmare. On September 8, 2024 I called back regarding another issue with the bike, that the metrics was not operating. Spoke with ***** who I had addressed both concerns about the shoe and the metrics. *****, disregarded the shoe situation and stated she will email me the instructions on how to troubleshoot the metrics. I am asking for an appointment for someone to pickup this peloton and a full refund. Since purchasing this bike back in 2022 there have been several recalls and too many issues with this bike.

      Thanks for bringing this to our attention. We have initiated communication with the Member to gather more information and rectify this situation. Because the Members Bike was purchased in 2022 and it is now outside of its Home Trial period, we will be unable to proceed with a return or refund. However, we will be more than happy to assist the Member with any necessary repairs or replacements as a courtesy for their inconvenience. Now that the Member has been assisted, we consider this matter closed.

       have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID# ********, and have determined that my complaint has NOT been resolved because: I have contacted Peloton twice regarding the shoe strap getting stuck on my foot which was terrifying and the fact that the representive **** was no help and no one never reached back out to me was unprofessional.  In addition to speaking with ****, ***** too was not helpful. 


      It took me contacting the Better Business bureau to receive a response, that is unacceptable.  As requested, I am asking for pickup to remove the peloton from my home and a full refund.

      Peloton demonstrates and sells equipment through its stores. When I got a demo of the rowing machine in the store (*****, **) I was informed that I will be able to stream my iPhone onto the rowing machine. However, I have since been told that I need to purchase a pricey membership which I have interest in having. Based on the above I was provided false information and as a result I am stuck with an overpriced machine and held ****** to pay an additional $44 each month to use all the features. I also called several times to rerun my product within the first month but peloton did not honor that request either.

      Thank you for bringing this to our attention. To access classes available on the Peloton class catalog and participate in classes on a Peloton device (Bike(+), Tread(+), or Row), an All-Access Membership is required. Peloton devices can be used without an All-Access Membership, however workouts and metrics taken via this method will not be saved to a users profile. Unfortunately, an iPhone screen can not be casted onto a device touchscreen, as this is not a feature supported on our platform. We understand that purchasing a product that can not be used as desired can be frustrating. For that reason, we have chosen to offer the Member an option to return their Row for a prorated refund amount. We have also refunded what the Member paid towards their one month of All-Access Membership. Now that the Member has been informed of our membership policies and has been provided an option to return their device, we consider this matter closed.

      So I got confused on the app vs full memembership. I thought they were lowering prices. Thats my fault. But when I found out I was getting charge since January 2024. When I cancelled in February. Thats when I was ****** because its not the first time they have done this. If you go on the website to cancel it should work. Also, my complaint is customer service. When the agent ****** S says how can I explain if youre not listening. Thats bad customer service. When you ask for a supervisor and they basically say no. This is a problem. I have added the transcripts in the attached.

      I am writing to express my extreme frustration with the poor customer service Ive experienced over the past 24 hours. Ive spent over five hours with various representatives trying to resolve an issue with my payment, and the situation has only worsened.On 07/26/2024, my bike rental payment declined while I was out of the country. I informed Peloton that I would update my payment upon my return. On 09/06, I updated my credit card details as prompted, but this created a new All Access membership. Since then, I have encountered the following issues:Unethical Requests: I was asked by Tai from the Texas call center to send a screenshot of my credit card statement to prove my card was valid. This is a highly inappropriate and unethical request for a customer to receive.Repeated Account Cancellations: Despite providing two valid credit card numbers, my account was deactivated repeatedly by Tai, who insisted the issue was with my cards. ******* in ********* did her best to help, but Tais actions blocked any progress.Leadership Refusal to Resolve: After multiple calls, including with ******* in ********** and his supervisor ****, I was told there was nothing more they could do and to wait another 24 hours for a resolution. This level of service is unacceptable.This is the second major issue Ive experienced with this bike rental, and it is clear there are serious flaws in how Peloton handles payments and memberships. I am a loyal customer trying to update my payment, yet I have been misled and ignored.Please resolve this issue immediately, as it severely impacts my Peloton experience.

      Business Response

      Date: 09/09/2024

      We are sorry to hear of your recent experience. After investigating your account, we identified that the issues stemmed from a second rental request placed under the same email and an outstanding balance on your initial rental, leading to service interruptions.We have since taken the following actions:

      Arranged Product Return: The return of the product has been scheduled.

      With these actions complete, we consider this matter closed. We appreciate your feedback and are committed to improving our services. Should you have any further concerns, please contact us directly.

      Better Business Bureau:

      I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID# ********, and have determined that my complaint has NOT been resolved because:

      I am very confused by the response to my complaint. It is clear that Peloton did not thoroughly review the notes on my account. Over the course of three days, I repeatedly attempted to update my credit card information. I spent countless hours with customer service, but was given incorrect information, leading to my account being canceled and reactivated multiple times through no fault of my own.
      I was told that my card would be charged, which did not happen, and then my account was reactivated, only to be canceled again. To make matters worse, a customer service representative has now scheduled a pick-up of my bike, despite my efforts to update my payment information. I was even asked to prove that my credit card was valid by submitting recent transactions from my account.
      I have spent five days trying to resolve this issue with no real resolution, and the response to my complaint does not accurately reflect the situation. I would like my account and bike reactivated, as this has been my goal from the beginning. I have had two rentals over the course of 3 years you need to look at the most recent rental
