    I have purchased SELECT on iGenius on February 13, 2025. I asked for a refund and to cancel my subscription oN 16, February 2025. I am well within the 10 days timeframe, as per refund policy.

    Hello, I joined iGenius on the January 12th, 2025 and I would like a full refund. I paid a fee of ******* CAD for the subscription, which I would like to be refunded to the same account I have paid with. I am well within the 10 day time period for the request of a refund. I have sent an email to the support team of this business on the next day that I joined and requesting a cancellation, but there has not been a reply even though I waited for 48 hours (which is the response time that they have advertised on their website). I want to cancel my account and subscription. I would appreciate a response as soon as possible. Thank you

    Hello,
    I joined iGenius on the 9th of April 2024 and I would like a full refund. I paid a fee of 174.99 USD for the subscription, which I would like to be refunded to the same account I have paid with. I am well within the 10 day time period for the request of a refund. I have sent an email to the support team of this business on the same day that I joined (merely an hour later) requesting a cancellation, but there has not been a reply even though I waited for 48 hours (which is the response time that they have advertised on their website). I want to cancel my account and subscription under this id number (*******) and username (*********). I would appreciate a response as soon as possible.

    Hello,


    An account attached to that email was created with us on January 17th. They are within the 10 day refund period, and we have issued them a refund. It appears they went to BBB directly to request the refund. Their refund has been issued and we believe this should resolve any concern with the customer.

    So first things first: I’m 18 and I started at igenius 2 weeks ago and before getting started i was told by my mentor on our Instagram call that i could get a refund the first MONTH. The money i was talked into paying for the “great products” and “guidance & mentorship” was the money i needed to support my family with. Of course when you’re made believed that it’s an investment that will get you MUCH MORE back, you hope it to be true and spend basically what you have left in this hope. Turns out she misinformed me, since I now want to leave because this is a SCAM and most mentors can’t even teach you how to trade properly so there’s really no such thing as “guidance” because most mentors also have WAY TOO MANY downlines and get back to you very late, igenius does NOT hold what it promises. I now found out that there is no such thing as a refund in 1 month but only in 10 DAYS while there is also sources saying 14 days for EU residents which would apply to me, igenius support says that it’s not possible because i’m not in the time frame anymore. Mentors and igenius members MISINFORM YOU and you can’t properly learn how to trade there since most people use AI and don’t make much from the alerts. I was also misinformed that by pursuing elite, i would get the AI set up right away which is not the case because you have to pay AGAIN, elite only gives you access to the option. This leads me to want to reach out to more people to NOT TRUST the people working for igenius, your so called “Ambassadors” and keep away from your platform that does not educate them enough to do their recruiting properly. They should be giving out information based on HONESTY and be real to new customers, so we don’t get caught in this scheme. The consequences of this have to be carried by my whole family, so I don’t accept this policy if you don’t check on the info your members are spreading and the least you can do is give me a refund.

    The customer enrolled on June 23, 2023 and made her initial payment that day. During the enrollment process the customer must accept the Purchase Terms and all Policies and Procedures which clearly states that members have 10 days to request a refund for the initial payment (14 days for EU residents). This is for initial payments only and any payment made after the initial payment is non-refundable. The member contacted us on July 11, 2023 asking for a refund but unfortunately at that point the initial order was no longer eligible for a refund. If the member believes that the person that presented the business misinformed her or violated policies, the member is able to send any supporting evidence to **************************** for an additional review.

    The refund period is stated directly in the Purchase Terms and Conditions. Each account must read and agree to these terms to complete the account registration. It is not possible to create an account without reviewing these Purchase Terms and agreeing to the provided refund period. We have attached a photo directly from the Purchase Terms and Conditions.

    The customer enrolled on June 26, 2023. She emailed us after working hours on the same day to request a refund and sent 7 other emails within the next 24 hours. Our team has a response time of 24-48 hours and she received a response on June 28, 2023 at 8:03 AM ET indicating that her request had been granted and a refund was being processed. The customer has since received a full refund of her purchase and her account is terminated.
