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.

Absolute charlatans that like others… Absolute charlatans that like others have said before make it impossible to cancel. Have an email confirmation saying your renewal fee won't be taken, it was and now 5 emails to customers services later and still no reply. Based on other reviews below I hold out little hope of seeing this substantial amount of money again. Disgusting.

The masterclasses are like bitesize… The masterclasses are like bitesize info documentaries with only top-level information. Its ok but you are not going to get real detail, very light touch. I think if Masterclass were confident enough to give customers a taster course, they would probably get better reviews because their audience would be more aligned. It’s very magazine style that alludes to more meaningful content. Guessing that’s the need for the lack of transparently and gotch on renewal charges after a years signup. Sadly not for me.

Tried to take money from my credit card… Tried to take money from my credit card never signed up with them and never even heard of them. Asked for information of who signed up and used my credit card they said they have no information, which they must have if someone signed up. Absolutely disgusting company just lie and claim they can’t help you after trying to defraud my credit card. Beware

Beware! Scam! Scam! You can never cancel your subscription. I made my subscription for my first year and I didn't like it so I decided to not renew. The following year they took the money, which I understand as I didn't actively cancel my subscription. So after they took the money I tried to cancel my subscription and you just can't. They refer you to a fake page that doesn't exist where you theoretically cancel your membership, but it literally doesn't exist. I reached out to customer support and they just kept asking for requests to make it difficult. I eventually called my bank and blocked this horrible website and reported it to the fraud department.
