They just charged me $180 today They just charged me $180 today. I signed up for a $10 class and did not realize I entered into a annual subscription. I never even completed the class. Please stay away from this company.

Unsettling Practices and Shallow Content Masterclass.com is already overpriced for what you get. Even the best masterclasses leave you wanting more as they only cover basic concepts and never delve into practical applications. As of the last few years, masterclass.com has suffered from severe bloat, adding numerous 'masterclasses' about things like opinions, identity, mental states, and other abstract concepts that aren't practicable skills. My review would probably have been around 3 stars if it wasn't for my recent exchange with customer support. I forgot to cancel my subscription and so I was understandably charged for another year. Immediately after I received the subscription renewal email I reached out to customer support to ask for a refund and to close my account. To my surprise they would not refund me. This is extremely unsettling and speaks volumes about the character of the business. They have no tolerance for mistakes and as such capitalize on these mistakes. If you are reading this I urge you not to subscribe. If you are interested in learning something new you will find more information for free on youtube. Personal 1-1 lessons from a local instructor will be more beneficial than anything you can get from this service.

Consumers Beware! Masterclass will not allow refund if a gift is “redeemed” which means just accessing the site means you are stuck even if no class is opened. I asked to cancel the gift after 10 mins on the site - never opened a lecture - refused simply because gift was “redeemed.” Master Class replied claiming that I am working with them to resolve the problem. That is false. I submitted this review only after refund was refused. Nothing is pending.

Woke Overload I found a few classes I loved, by people who are top notch at what they do and terrific at teaching it. However just a few. Masterclass is shamelessly "woke" - and I'm saying this as someone who's never been a conservative or voted Republican. MC offers a class on how to succesfully perform womanface (how admirable!), a class from Bill Clinton, and others from luminaries across the corporate media and academic liberal spectrum. Not a single thought leader who has a background or viewpoint that incompatible with predominant woke ideology. The few classes I liked weren't ideological at all, just great teachers.

Beware the gift that keeps on taking! A couple of years ago we were gifted a masterclass subscription. We were not particularly interested but apparently signed up for a couple of courses that we never viewed. To sign up we had to enter a credit card and for three years were charged $180/year though we never used the service. The charges hit at the first of the year and - our bad - we did not review the cc statements and the charges were included in same statements as our holiday spending. This year we saw the charge, challenged it and Masterclass refunded this year's charge and canceled the auto renewal. Masterclass refused to refund the prior years' charges.
