No notice of impending subscription expiration; No refunds Stay away; it's a LOWBROW business model. I had a trial subscription at a reduced rate. On the evening of the trial expiration date I received a receipt for a year's subscription ($60+) that included a statement that if I canceled the subscription by that date, I wouldn't be charged, even though they had already charged me. I promptly canceled (on said date), but Highbrow denied my request for a refund. The predatory practices of such subscription-based services are disgusting.

Tiny bubble of knowledge everyday I just love this service. I find it very clever. The emails are short and easy to read, you can feel it's structured and going somewhere. I subscribe essentially to personal growth and business Highbrow lessons and they've helped me having those "aha moments". Very practical advices too. I love the service so much i might start redaction a class myself. I've been really enjoying those tiny bubbles of knowledge throughout the week.

Really bad subscription practices Really bad practices in terms of trial periods / paid membership subscriptions. Will not accept to refund, even though their cancellation page was broken. I recommend you stear away from this company as much as you can!!

Highbrow International is what I think… Highbrow International is what I think of as this year's best internet discovery. Excellent learning tool with a wide variety of subjects available for those who are extremely busy. Daily, easy-to-digest lessons are a dream come true for those who are committed to lifelong learning. I find it most helpful as an introduction to topics that I find interesting but am still unsure of whether I want to invest a lot of time in learning.

Sketchy business model Sketchy business model They prey on those who sign up for their 30 day trial period and refuse to offer refunds when they charge you for a year trial after you tell them you accidentally subscribed. Run far away from these guys.
