Refund money
Meetup
I am making a formal complaint regarding repeated charges for a Meetup Member Subscription.
I downloaded the Meetup app myself, but I did not realise that the subscription would continue automatically and charge me $14.99 AUD every week. I only discovered the subscription after noticing that money had repeatedly been taken from my account.
I have now found approximately six recurring charges. I did not intend to continue a weekly paid subscription, and I did not use the paid subscription benefits during these periods.
As soon as I became aware of these charges, I immediately cancelled the subscription.
I have contacted Apple and requested refunds. So far, I have only received a partial/prorated refund for one charge, while the other charges have not been refunded.
I am extremely dissatisfied with this experience. I believe the recurring weekly charges were not sufficiently clear to me when I subscribed, and I would not knowingly have agreed to continue paying $14.99 every week.
I am requesting that Meetup review my subscription and billing history and assist me in obtaining refunds for all of the remaining recurring charges.
Please also confirm that my subscription is fully cancelled and that I will not be charged again.

Great for connections, needs bot cleanup
To be fair, this app actually delivered on the main thing; met people I genuinely click with, which is rare. But there are some things are killing the experience:
The algorithm keeps showing me women-only events even though it clearly knows I’m a guy. Like why am I seeing events I literally can’t attend by their own rules? Feels like a filtering bug that should’ve been fixed ages ago.
The job scam bots are out of control. Constantly getting spammed with “make $1k/week remote, just click this link” nonsense from sketchy sites. It’s everywhere and makes the platform feel unsafe. Please get some actual filters/moderation going to catch these before they flood every group.
Fix these two and this easily becomes a 5 star app.

Dishonest app opens ads without a tap
Opens advertisers links without me tapping on them. Dishonest app. Swiping to scroll is not a tap on ad ,
Too many requests to pay money
This “upgraded” app keeps trying to make people pay to join … what I thought was a “free” service. The organizer fees have doubled w/ less helpful customer service!
Increasingly unfunctional
It went downhill within 1.5 years, charged for previous basic functions, app was not doing what it said it would with organiser or pro function. Cost went up for nothing new. It was after 3.5 years, i decided to end my time with the app.
Incredibly clunky and unnecessary first it was matching and connecting and then ads. Move on
