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.

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.

Deceitful company Wife bought Masterclass last year. Watched a few short series. Forgot about it due to the limited interesting content. She bought it at a discount "buy 1, get 2". We've tried to redeem that 2nd membership. Only got errors from the website. Funny thing, I receive an email the day after the 2nd "free" membership that we never were able to activate to tell me they've fixed the issue and now it should work. At that point, we can't activate it and support will not do anything about this. If you ask me, this is intentional and really just a deceitful marketing scheme. Overall, too expensive for the limited amount of short interesting content. Will not touch again and recommend you do the same.

Expansive Yet Worthy MasterClass has revolutionised online learning with its unique approach. I must admit I completely switched to this platform instead of researching other popular and free platforms about the topic I want to educate myself. And one can find a class on almost every subject. The quality is overal good, but there were some classes that it’s not their place to be here. Anyway, this is a subjective thin so I forgive this flaw. Maybe the same classes other people will find them useful. The downside, however, is the hefty price tag.🙁

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.
