Never received BFM coin as promised; incessant ads despite paid subscription – theCHIVE Review

Now, in order to receive a pro rata refund, I’m down to disputing the $79 credit card charge I made to Chive on April 27. Broken Promise #1: No ads with a paid subscription — TOTAL B.S. Their feature “People reveal what they consider the ‘best’ sex skills” has six (6!) ads: 1) climax-delay spray, 2) performance/rigidity pills, 3) female arousal gel, 4) before & after wipes, 5) lube, and 6) more lube. Broken Promise #2: A free Bill F’in Murray coin with my paid three-year subscription. Their customer service was plenty communicative when accepting my $79, but they haven’t replied to my emails about my missing BFM coin. Censorship: My downvotes of their links for adult playground links in their comments sections are erased. Meanwhile those links, which resemble email spam, remain intact. That’s particularly shameless considering how randomly and frequently this unwelcome content interrupts legitimate commentary. Questionable: They way they handle charitable donations. Considering their broken promises, heavy-handed censorship, and disguising of apparently sponsored links as member comments, I wonder whether they’re pocketing portions of contributions meant for the needy. Doubtful: If they can’t/won’t mail a freaking BFM coin (along with the random thank you card, btw), then why should I trust them to ship their pricey merchandise? Question: Did they discount their $99 three-year subscription to $79 because they’re in a cash crunch? That might explain the persistent, worsening deluge of unwanted ads. Signed, Beyond Disappointed
