Review: On Sunday, 11/**/13, I recieved an advertisment email from WW offering a three month membership program for the price of $64.42 instead of $42.95 monthly. This was advertised as a 50% discount and the email stated that had to click "get started" from within the email.

Upon making the decision to pursue this offer and join, I was confused when I found that there was no link that said "get started" anywhere on the email. I clicked every link, including the links that said "Save Now" but the only offer that I was able to partake was the full price, $42.95 monthly.

I emailed the customer service team from WW's website and explained the situation immediately. It should be noted that I did this the same day, Sunday the [redacted] of November. This is important because the offer stated that it was "Sunday only". I explained that there was no link on the email offering the 50% discount and I also pasted the affer into the body of the email so they could see this to verify if needed.

I recieved two emails back, both after midnight, stating that they apologize for my trouble and that they would offer a 14 day credit to the account if I sign up. This value is aproximately $20.04 so for a three month membership I would wind up paying the following:

Month I $22.91

Month II $42.95

Month III $42.95

Total $108.81 for what was offered, clearly, for $64.42 - I consider this to be a bate and switch.

I went a step further and emailed them again by replying, better explaining that the offer I was given was not able to be claimed. The response said the following: "Since the offer was over you are not eligible for this promotion..." and they again offered a 14 day credit.Desired Settlement: I would like for them to honor the offer that I received yesterday, which I attempted to collect on and begin service with them. Being that I tried to contact them with a total of three emails on Sunday, the day of the promotion, and the issue lies with them and not with me, I feel they should honor this request.

Review: On November **, 2014 WeightWatchers posted a charge to my Credit Card Account for the amount of $14.95. On Sunday, April *, 2014, I received notification that my account "[redacted]" had been cancelled and that my card ending in [redacted] would no longer be charged. I ended my subscription because I am currently [redacted] and am literally [redacted]. I have NEVER visited the WW site nor have I EVER authorized for them to magically start charging my card again. This is EXTREMELY fraudulent activity, and I should not be getting charged by this company.Desired Settlement: Please return my money immediately. Also, since I have not been a user of your services since APRIL of this year there is no reason for you to have all my credit card information still on file so that I can get charged erroneously again.

Response:

We responded to an email on 11/**/14, requesting more information, as we did not find a $14.95 charge on the last Monthly Pass account that was canceled effective 04/**/14. As of this date there was no reply.We see that on 11/**/14 a call was made to customer service. At that time the charge was found from a meeting room purchase. A refund form was completed for reimbursement of the $14.95 on 11/**/14. Credits usually take 3 to 5 business days to appear on the credit/debit card account.WeightWatchers International

Response:

I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID# [redacted], and have determined that my complaint has NOT been resolved because:

As of November **, 2014 there still has been no refund to my card. I spoke with an associate at Weight Watchers on November [redacted]. That is 8 business days.

Response:

After contacting accounting regarding the refund form that was filled out, we were informed that the $14.95 was not a meeting room charge. The $14.95 was for a subscription to WeightWatchers Magazine.For subscription information and other questions related to Weight Watchers® Magazine, please check: [redacted]You may also call Weight Watchers Magazine subscription information at: ###-###-#### for the current status of your Magazine subscription.WeightWatchers International

Review: I became a member of Weight Watchers in order to lose weight, which I did successfully and became a lifetime member. In July of 2013 I requested termination of my online etools. At the time I was credited two payments of $14.95 (the monthly etools charge) and requested termination of my etools account once my accumulated etools credit had run out. I thought everything was complete. However, in September of 2014, Weight Watchers began charging my credit card $14.95 monthly again for etools. I caught the charges when paying my December statement. I called Weight Watchers to find out what was going on. The first two times I spoke with them, they weren't willing to refund more than a month because I did not have a confirmation number from July of 2013 (the call was placed in Feb. of 2015). Once I spoke with their corporate office they offered a refund of $44.95, but not the full amount of 74.95 for the 5 months of unauthorized charges (Sept.-Jan). In the course of the conversation they found out that one of my 3 conversations had been a 3 way conversation including my credit card company and that I was disputing the charge through them. At that point they revoked the offer of $44.95, told me I had no further recourse within the company and that I had taken this as high within the corporate hierarchy as was possible.

It is important to note that the reason I spoke with the credit card company is because the resumption of charges was not authorized by me and in accordance with the Member Services agreement of the credit card. I am required to notify the credit card company when I notice an unauthorized charge. Since Weight Watchers was unwilling to refund the full amount of the unauthorized charge in spite of my converstations with them by phone on Feb. **, I had no choice but to contact the credit card company to notify them of the unauthorized charge. Furthermore, I have no confidence that I won't have this problem in the future. They have spontaneously resumed unauthorized charges once. I have no guarantee that that will not happen in the future. I have to work with the credit card company to insure that there won't be any unauthorized charges because I can't trust Weight Watchers to hold to the cancellation of my etools account.

In summary, I find that Weight Watchers has both unethical and very unfriendly customer service practices with respect to billing, particularly when it comes to trying to end services. My largest complaints are:

1. Etools: you are billed monthly for 8 weeks of service which means you accrue extra weeks. This makes it difficult to keep track of the billing. This was the problem I was having with them in 2013 when I ended my account with them.

2. They expected me to have retained a confirmation number from 19 months ago in order to verify that the spontaneous resumption of etools monthly charges were an error on their part. It is unreasonable to expect former clients to retain confirmation numbers indefinitely on the off chance a company will erroneously begin billing again.

3. Weight Watchers stopped charging the monthly fee for etools in July 2013. There were no charges from that point onward, and I did not use their services anymore.

4. Spontaneous resumption of billing for etools should not have happened as it was not authorized by me.Desired Settlement: Refund of the full $74.95 for 5 months of unauthorized etools charges to my credit card statement. Assurance that there will be no more spontaneous resumption of charges.

[redacted]WeightWatchers Customer Care

I have no issue with the Weight Watchers Program. It is truly the only thing that works, however, they have made cancelling your membership almost impossible. If you call the [redacted] number that give you instructions on how to cancel on line. The instructions say look for an account settings on the web page. this does not exist. I spent at least 30 minutes on 3 separate occasions trying to cancel my membership on line. THE COMPANY NEEDS TO MAKE THIS PROCESS MORE ACCESSABLE AND TRANSPARENT. I FEEL THAT IS MADE INTENTIONALLY DIFFICULT. WW does not need to trap people to be successful.

Review: On 2/**/14 I signed up online for WW and paid a 3 month subscription of $56.85 with a credit card. I was only refunded $7.95.

On 2/**/14 I signed up online with WW and paid a 3 month subscription of $56.85. After trying for many hours I found the online WW was not compatible with my Nexus or cell phone so I canceled my subscription that same night. I received an email from WW letting me know my subscription was cancelled and my refund of only $7.95 would be refunded. In the email there is no other way to contact them other than email which I promptly send one letting them know I want the entire $56.85. After not hearing from them for over two weeks I sent another email to the same customer service email address. I just received my credit card bill and the only refund was $7.95. I finally found a telephone # for WW after looking on many different sites as it is not on any main sites and easily accessible. I called and talked to [redacted] who was very nice but needed to see what her [redacted] would decide, per her [redacted] whose name could not be given flatly said no more refund would be given I asked why and was told I should have called the time I received my cancellation email but as I explained no telephone # is provided on that email she still said flatly no to my refund. I did every thing I was supposed to do and I believe the refund in full should be given to me.Desired Settlement: refund in full of $56.85

I filed a complaint then as well. Weight watchers really messed up my Account by not deducting the right amounts. I said I would not do auto deductions again, which I will not. Fast forward to this year, I rejoined weight watchers and am totally being discriminated against and cannot gget the better rate because I refuse to sign up that way.

Review: In January I signed up on-line for 3 months of on-line weightwatchers for $59. I stopped using weightwatchers after the 3 month period, assuming I was no longer a member. I paid the $59 by credit card. My husbands pays our Jet Blue credit card. I just reviewed the one we just rec'd and there are 2 charges from weight watchers fo 18.95. I was shocked. I called and they have been charging me 18 a month since the 3 months were up. They said there was verbage below saying they would continue to charge 18.95 after the 3 month period if I didn't cancel. I did not see this and haven't used it since March. They said they were too big to track if I have used it. I asked for a refund and they said there was nothing they could do. I waited on-line for a supervisor who gave me no satisfaction. I asked at a minimum to give me the 4 months they had charged me that I hadn't used back for free. I said I was going to report this to the Revdex.com and then he said to hold on and he'd see if there is anything they can do. He came back and said there is nothing they can do. I can't believe a big Co. like that couldn't at least give me back the 4 months I had paid for (unknowingly). The first person I spoke to was [redacted] and the supervisor was [redacted]. I will never use weightwatchers again. The woman did say they have received a lot of similar complaints, but there was nothing they could do. I would appreciate any help you can provide or at least warn others. Thanks for your time. Sincerely, [redacted].Desired Settlement: At a minimum they should provide me with the 4 months of weight watchers on-line that I unknowingly paid for and did not use.

When she subscribed to Weight Watchers Online and submitted her payment, the customer agreed to the terms and conditions set forth in the Subscroption Agreement. The individual subscriber is responseible for the terms of their subscription including the price plan under which they are billed. Due to these terms, she was not elibible to receive a refund.

However, while it is not our policy, customer service is very important to us and we have redited the customers account for $75.80. (credit was issued 7/**/13) She should see this credit on her next credit card statement. Her subcriber acccount has been cancelled effective today.

Much like buying a CD, DVD or software, what the customer purchased is predominantly propeietary intellectual property (the music, the movie or the program). Like many companies who sell these products, our policy is that once you have access ot the product, your payment is non-refundable. As we have no way of knowing if or how much of the diet the customer may have used for her personal benefit.

Review: I have been contacting Weight Watchers since the beginning of January regarding weight watchers sending me emails to [redacted]. After speaking with many of Weight Watcher representatives, trying to unsubscribe from their email list I was unsuccessful. On February **, 2015 I called Weight Watchers and spoke to [redacted] a [redacted] there. When I told him that Weight Watcher's unsubscribe on their emails that they keep sending me doesn't work and I want Weight Watchers to stop sending me emails, [redacted] stated that he couldn't find my email address in there list, he said he was escalate this up to corporate so that they could take care of it since no one at their office could see the email address on their list. Since this call I have received 10 more emails from Weight Watchers. I called again today on March **, 2015 to ###-###-#### and spoke to [redacted]. He said he was the escalator and he would escalate this up to corporate. That is the same message that I received from [redacted] on February **, 2015 and to date I am still receiving emails from Weight Watchers. asked [redacted] to please give me the corporate address for Weight Watchers and their phone number and he refused to give me both. He said I am not allowed to give out the street address or Weight Watchers telephone number. He also said if I want to stop receiving emails from Weight Watchers, to [redacted] them as spam.

I had been trying to cancel my monthly pass subscription for over an hour. I called several times. The person on the other end would not cancel my subscription, he kept asking for my last name, and zip code...and to slow down...I do NOT speak quickly in the first place...It got to the point where he asked me to call back again. They are now continuing a subscription I can not afford to keep...they are stealing my money!!!!!
The weight loss plan is great...I just can't afford to keep it up right now.

Review: I was told that if I purchased this product I could get my money back if it didn't work for me, well I purchased it in March **, 2014 and they took $42.95 and they wanted it fifteen days from that date again out of my checking accont but I spoke to a representative on the phone who changed my next payment date to 4/**/14 because I couldn't understand if it was once a month then why did they need that same payment again fifteen days later, they said to make sure I get in the system well I was in the system. So about a week ago I get a card expiring May **,2014 meaning they were going to take another $42.95 on that date and then I received one expiring 6/**/2014 I was livid I tried to call several of time early in the morning and they keep you on hold for hours so I cancelled my account and asked for my money back and I mailed both of my cards back, I want my refund for $42.95 for March 2014 and $42.95 for April 2014 and I want it in a check mailed to my home because I'm livid about the services that didn't work for me.Desired Settlement: A refund for $42.95 twice

When she subscribed to Weight Watchers Monthly Pass and

[Your Answer Here]

When I subscribed to weight watchers I saw no such information and was told by a rep that if I wasnt satisfied I could get my full refund. I only attended one meeting. I weighed in some of the other weeks. When you sign up they talk you into getiing the plan that takes money out of your account monthly. I signed up on 3/**/14 and they sent a card for 4/**/14 instead of 4/**/14 abd wznted to take money out of my account in fifteen days again. Absurd, so I called and spoke to a [redacted] who told me they would take out every [redacted] of the month then I start getting passes that showed they were gonna take out May ** and June ** so I cancelled because THEY WEIGHT WATCHERD didnt keep their word. I'm not closing the complaint til I get my other refund this is why I was skeptical to allow them in my account to begin with so get your facts straight [redacted].

Thank-You Revdex.com, Weight Watchers resolved my issue.

Review: In October 2015 I bought a 3-month membership in Weight Watchers. It expired 1/*/16. On 12/**/15, due to changes in their program and technical issues with their tracking tools, I canceled my membership using their online form. On 1/**/16, they charged my credit card for another month membership. I disputed this charge with my Credit Card company, who took the charge off my bill. I emailed Weight Watchers' customer email to ask them to honor my cancellation request. Since then, they have made further attempts to bill my credit card for this canceled membership, and sent me notices of their failed attempts (my Credit Card company blocked the charges after the initial disputed charge). Each time, I have emailed them a reminder that I have canceled my account. As of today, 2/**/16, this has still not been resolved.Desired Settlement: 1. Stop any further attempts to charge me via credit card or any other means for a Weight Watchers membership.

2. Provide me with a written statement that my account has been canceled due to MY request in December 2015, and that they will no longer charge me. Include an admission that their attempts to charge me were erroneous, and apologize for their error in charging me after my December cancellation.

3. Do NOT attempt to represent their failed attempts to charge me as being the result of my failure to live up to a commitment to pay.

Review: Back on February **, 2014, I rejoined WW in [redacted] and had a coupon that gave me 6 months of prepaid membership for 50% off. I was billed $128.85 at that time. On March *, I received an email saying that paypal was deducting $42.95 for my monthly dues. So, I am now being billed twice for the same monthly dues. When I log in to my online account, it shows I am being billed monthly with no discounts. I contacted online customer support, who told me that there was never a $128.85 charge on my account and that I was set up with an account that would deduct $42.95 per month. I replied back to customer service with documentation showing that I WAS indeed charged both $128.85 and $42.95 (I included a bank statement showing that the $128.85 was processed as well as a credit card receipt showing the same and my monthly register with a handwritten notation from the WW leader that said I was charged $128.85 for "6 mo 50% off). It was at this point that customer service stopped responding to me.Desired Settlement: I would like the $42.95 refunded and to have the account adjusted so I am not billed $42.95 for the remainder of the 6 months. I would also like something as compensation for the hassle this has become.

Review: Upon receiving my husband's credit card bill, we discovered that that we were debited on 2/*, 2/**, 3/*, 4/* and 4/* from Weight Watchers. Then, on 2/* I wrote a check to Weight Watchers. These were all in the amount of $42.95.The issue is they double signed me up and neglected to tell me that my husband's credit card would be debited every month and I did not have to write a check.I called the main number of Weight Watchers. They had me on hold for 20 minutes and hung up on me. When I called back, they had me on hold 15 minutes and hung up on me. The third time I called, they answered and was helpful. After talking to billing they gave me $128.00 back, but that doesn't give me all of the extra payment that we made. When I questioned this, the person was not helpful. When I asked to speak to her Manager, she put me on hold for at least 30 minutes. I believe this was done on purpose. We do not deserve to have our money wasted like this and to not get help from a Weight Watchers person. The person's attitude was like 'oh well, you got triple billed and so I don't know what is going on'. Overall,this experience has not been great. Thanks for your help.Desired Settlement: DesiredSettlementID: Refund

It would be nice to receive something from our overpayment and the inconvenience and aggravation of making these calls and have someone answer who is not customer service oriented. "I don't know" is not the response anyone should make in customer service.

Review: I enrolled in Weight Watchers Online in June 2013. I canceled my membership in September 2013. The last correspondence I received from Weight Watchers was by email on September *, 2013. My husband also joined around the same date and has been receiving magazines and emails up to as recent as last month so when we saw the charges on the credit card we believed it was for his membership. When my husband called to cancel his membership Weight Watchers demanded that they would not help him with the recurring charges on his account until he conferenced in the call with our bank. Today we discovered that although I have received zero correspondence from Weight Watchers since September 2013 and my husband had been receiving emails and magazine, it is my account that has been active and charged this entire time not his. Weight Watchers could not explain why I never received correspondence like I should have with an active account and would not give me a refund.Desired Settlement: I request a refund for any amount paid beyond my original 3 month enrollment fee which totals $170 and change. I had no reason to not believe my account was canceled successfully. Additionally, I have not used a single Weight Watchers service since September 2013.

Weight Watchers values our customers and takes pride in

making sure our products meet and exceed their expectations. We have made efforts to ensure our customers

understand our products and what they are purchasing. In this customer’s case, we too several steps

to inform that her subscription would automatically renew unless she cancelled.

When she subscribed to Weight Watchers Online and submitted

her payment, she agreed to the terms and conditions set forth in the

Subscription Agreement. The individual

subscriber is responsible for the terms of their subscription including the

price plan under which they are billed and for canceling their account before

it is automatically re-billed.

By clicking on the link below, you may refer to our

subscription agreement for additional inquiries you may have regarding our

refund policies.

However, while it is not our policy, customer service is

very important to us and we have been authorized to credit her account for

$56.85 (3months x 18.95). The credit was issued 6/**/2014. She should see this credit on her next credit card

statement. The subscriber account has

been cancelled effective today.

Much like buying a CD, DVD or software, what you purchased

is predominantly proprietary intellectual property (the music, the movie or the

program). Like many companies who sell these products, our policy is that once

you have access to the product, your payment is non-refundable.

Review: I joined WW over 6 months ago and paid for a 6 month membership. That membership ended around August. I am being billed 444/mo by WW for something that I never use. I have never logged in to their online app, and I dont attend meeting anymore. I attempted to cancel my membership one month ago but I was billed again this month. So not I have 2 months billed to meDesired Settlement: I would like WW to refund me the 2 months payments that I have been charged and cancel my membership with them.

By subscribing to Monthly Pass, you agreed to and accepted the terms of our Subscription Agreement. Section three of our Subscription

Agreement clearly sets forth the payment and billing terms. Our subscription process is the same as many other online subscription processes, which automatically renew your account and bill your credit card unless you cancel.

Additionally, there is a billing message on the page where you select your payment plan during sign up which reads:

"PLEASE NOTE: Your Monthly Pass will automatically renew each month until you cancel. Your credit card will be charged up to 15 days prior to your renewal date at the standard monthly rate (currently $42.95 plus tax for Connecticut) to ensure you receive your new Monthly Pass card on time."

Pursuant to the terms of our Subscription Agreement, we are unable to refund fees paid for months with billing dates that have come and gone.

Review: I signed up with weight watchers less than a week ago. Tried cancelling online. Never heard back. Called today 12/** and someone finally said they would cancel my membership and only return me 19.99 of the 60.00 I paid last week. They offer no trial period or no way of testing their services without signing up. Unfortunately their point system doesn't work for me and my lifestyle. They need a way to offer a free trial or a virtual look at their services/product. You really should be able to see what you are buying before you buy it. I was hoping it would work , but my current plan works much better. The smart points just were not for me. I feel I should get my full 60 back. As I said I tried it and cancelled in a quick time frame knowing it was not working.Desired Settlement: I want my membership cancelled and my $60.00 back and I would like them to offer A 5 DAY TRIAL to others in the future so they know if this is the service for them or not. The smart points are something new. No one knows what they are or how they work. There needs to be some cancellation timeframe for if the product doesn't fit you and your lifestyle.
