Scam avoid at all costs Scam avoid at all costs. Great marketing to make you sign up but the classes are just awful. Zero informative. Just talk about themselves. Requested refund but just ignored at the minute. If I could give zero stars I would.

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.

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.

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.
