Mightyape - $89 yearly subscription the default?!
I recently created a new Mighty Ape account and, without fully realising it, signed up for their Mighty Ape membership.
I didn’t cancel before the two week trial ended, which is on me for not reading the fine print closely enough.
The frustrating part is how I found out. I went to the mall and my card was declined, which was pretty alarming and embarassing. After checking my account and doing some frantic searching, I discovered I’d been charged $89 for a full year’s subscription!
I’m honestly shocked that a yearly subscription is the default starting option. If it had been something like $10 monthly, it would have been annoying but manageable and I probably would’ve just written it off. Having a full year charged upfront feels like a really dodgy practice.
I don’t have $89 to spare right now. I’ve cancelled the membership and asked for a refund and I’m waiting to hear back. I’d be keen to know if anyone else has had a similar experience and what the outcome was? :(
