Transaction date: 4/26/2024 Total spent: $498.00 (two transactions - $299.00 and $199.00)Mindvalley was supposed to provide access to their programs for a year - with the ability to cancel for a full refund within 15 days. I have not been able to log in to the site to access any programs. It goes to a dead page. I've tried logging in on multiple devices - computer, tablet and phone with no success. I've deleted cookies, restarted all devices - I've done all the troubleshooting things to no avail. There is no way to contact customer service without an iPhone (I have an android) or WhatsApp. I do not have this app and do not want to download. I tried posting to Mindvalley on ******* and have received no response. I've sent a direct message to Mindvalley on Instagram. I've posted on every Mindvalley ad that comes up on social media. I, belatedly, googled 'mindvalley scam' and it appears this is a common practice of taking money, not being able to access and then making customer service impossible to contact to run out the 15 days. Log in goes to dead page. **************** goes to a dead page. Nothing but circular dead pages that go nowhere.Initial Complaint

I suspended my account before March 20th. I never renewed/activated my account back up. No payment was taken for March but all a sudden on ***** 20th,2024 a pmt for ***** subscription was taken out without my consent. I asked for a refund and they denied giving me a refund. Also they stated I was not eligible for the 15 day refund. I provided documentation showing March not taken out and also where it did state I was eligible for the 15day refund and where they sent me crazy amounts of emails saying to become a member. I would like my $49.00 refunded to me.Initial Complaint

Yesterday, April 16th, I received an email from PayPal saying I paid Mindvalley $299. I looked at the transaction and called the phone number provided. It was disconnected. No other phone number found. I went to their ******** page and attempted to converse with them there through Messenger. The responses were preprogrammed because when I asked a question about the refund button, I got no response. I posted on X, no response. I emailed them at ********************************* no response. I disputed the charge with PayPal, no response. I posted a comment on a ******** post about how to contact them regarding a refund, no response (other than likes). I did not receive an email saying the renewal was coming up as I do from others. MindValley is all about getting you in and once you are, they disappear and ignore you.Customer Answer

I purchased a Mindvalley membership on 13th April for US$99. The system required you to then purchase a trial Pro membership for another US$199. Both were refundable within 15 days of purchase. I want to refund the Pro membership. On the Mind Valley IOS app in the Billing section there is a link to a refund option. However this takes you to a web page explaining the process of refunds which sends you back to the billing section and is therefore a closed loop with no option to refund. On the web page app in the billing section there is no option to refund, only cancel. I have tried email, whatsup, webchat to get an answer and it is impossible to get past the virtual assistant that repeats the same instruction. I only want to refund the second charge.Customer Answer

I signed up for a Wildfit program that started on 1/29/2024 and should be run for 90 days.The original price they were selling this training was $800 if new people signed up two weeks before the class (1/21/2024), which I did. There was an option to pay the full amount or be charged $99 + two payments of $349. I took the latter one. After two months, I got a third charge for $349 and raised that question to Mindvalley via e-mail twice. No one responded to me to explain the extra charges. So they charged me for $1049 instead of $800. I need to get my money back.The course is not what I expected, and everything is so generalKeto diet mostly, nothing new.Initial Complaint

I have been a member of Mindvalley, an online learning platform, for a couple of years. Recently, I discovered that I have been paying $99 per month for certain services, while the current cost is only $399 per year. Despite attempting to address this issue, I found it challenging to get assistance. The absence of a toll-free number or direct access to a human representative was frustrating, as interactions were limited to an AI bot.After navigating through the system, I eventually connected with a support representative. I explained my predicamenthaving paid $1188 for a program that is priced at $399 annually. Although she acknowledged the overpayment, she claimed there was nothing she could do to rectify the situation.The inability to communicate with a human and the ongoing monthly charges of $99 left me feeling helpless. I am seeking a resolution to this matter. Ideally, I would like a refund for the overages I have paid, totaling $789 ($1188 - $399, my annual membership cost). Alternatively, I would be satisfied with a one-year membership credit, deducting $399 from the remaining due amount of $789, and refunding me the difference of $390. The woman even acknowledges I overpaid and bascally says there is nothing she can do. I asked to talk to a manager and she said they would tell me the same thing. They dont have a phone number you have to talk to them via text online. This just isnt right at all. Its upsettingInitial Complaint

I have subscribed to their ************************* charging $299/year, and I subscribed it in 2022 and cancelled it several months later. But the business charged me $299 again on May 26, 2023 even after I cancelled my subscription. When I reached out last year, nobody answered, and I did not get my money back. Moreover, when I reached out today again to ask them to cancel my subscription (since there's no unsubscribe option), they don't reply again. What I want is: 1. cancel the subscription. 2. have my money back (since they charged me after I cancelled). 3. delete my credit card info from the siteInitial Complaint

Looking at my charge card transactions, I discovered yesterday that my *********** (MV) membership renewed on 10/16/23. I wasn't aware of this earlier - I am now using this email address: ********************** and joined under *********************** On the MV website, I could not find a way to directly contact MV. As another customer complained below, the website doesn't seem to provide an email address or a contact phone number. For help I was directed to a chat, and the Virtual Assistant chat bot could not provide contact info either and responded as though it wasn't programed to be of any assistance in connecting a customer to MV. That seems intentionally deceptive and unreasonably difficult. I would have tried cancelling my charge through my credit card company, but due to the entire lack of MV contact information, could not do so.I'm seeking a refund the $399 renewal charge. I must have signed up in 2022 while I was "lost" after having just returned from my beloved mother's memorial service. While still grieving, I worked very hard sorting out her estate and handling paperwork. I must have been so distraught and distracted her passing, I barely used MV during the initial year of membership, and wasn't aware of its renewal until yesterday (I cancelled it online today). I would appreciate the refund as the product was not used, and as a matter of compassion under the circumstances as the money could help me with more priority matters right now. Thank you,*********************** preferred email: ********************** (I wasn't able to update my email online with MV)former email: ***********************Customer Answer
