The same thing happened to me! After attempts to cancel were made, I was charged again! The refund they offer in their ads is non-existant, once you join they tell you that they don't give refunds. It's a scam!

Guys if you paid via paypal you can cancel the subscription via paypal. Do a web search on how to cancel subscriptions via paypal. Always use paypal for payments to web sites like these. If you paid directly via your credit card, then contact your financial institution that your credit card is with. Cougar Life should not be billing you if you have requested to do so, this is illegal.

I haven't even been able to cancel my subscription?
Are you still getting billed? Or have you found a way to make it stop?

CougarLife Not worth the money, not worth the time

The site charges the same price as premier dating site like Match.com and Jdate, but the quality is crap, and here's why:

1) Spam: There are probably more profiles that are porn spam than real people. There is a report button, and customer service told me they are actively monitoring, however, people I've reported over a week ago are still on.

2) Selection: There isn't a large selection to choose from. Most of the profiles of the women have only a picture and not a single sentence written by them. I suspect they are spam, but who knows.

3) No chat: Websites that charge $40/month have chat. This website does not. Chat worked well from me on other dating websites - In fact it works better than sending inbox messages.

4) False "Online" indicator: Every profile says the member is online. How can ALL members all be online ALL the time? This is probably done to give users the illusion that other users are active when in fact the website is doing very poorly. Customer service told me it's a glitch that they're trying to fix, but how long does it take to fix a small problem?

Many small business starting out on the web use fake profiles to get the website going. When I first joined I got a few messages from other "users" who were saying hello and asking me to tell them about myself saying if they like it they will respond. In other words, don't expect a response. It had all the markings of such in-house created profiles "welcoming" me to the site...

And now to the most outrageous one..
5) While on the phone with customer service discussing all the above, the rep said, "I'm looking through your inbox and it seems like you've been getting messages from real members". I was not asked for my permission to go through my e-mails. Clearly they don't respect their users' privacy.

Bottom line: Not worth the money. Not worth the time.

This has to be the worst dating website ever. I have been on it for about a week and all I have received are emails for webcam, online pictures, and other freaky dating sites. Don't waste your money. If you do you will get ###ed, but not by any of the girls. I also emailed them about their crappy service and how I wanted a refund because of it and you will not get a refund. What they will give is a bunch of ### and excuses about the spamming and how they can't refund you. Again don't waste your money. Don't even join.

CougarLife Boooo!!!!!

I have been a "cougar" (paying member) on this site for three months and have met a lot of young men from it. I agree that most are looking for nsa relationships. The definition of a cougar is usually an older, attractive woman looking for an nsa relationship. Therefore, these young men assume that the cougar sites are a means to having sex with someone more experienced without the "drama" afterward. All the men that I have dated have been gentlemen and I never at any time felt pressure from them to engage in sex. Nevertheless, I have. Many of the men I have sex with never contact me again A few keep in touch and we see each other maybe one or two more times. Much of this has to do with the fact that these men ARE young and very self-centered (by this I mean focused on their lives). It is very hard to find a young man who is ready for a long-term commitment and I accept that going into any date. This is not exclusive to a cougar site. Ive had many young men on a non-cougar site also contact me with the same expectations. It is true that the defintion of a cub is usually someone who engages in a relationship with an older woman for a period of time until the excitement for both of them runs out (ie., proverbally "boy toy"). Many of the "cubs" on cougarlife.com talk about their interests but doing activities together never materializes. To an extent, the cougar, who has the advantage because she is wanted, can shape the dynamics. If she insists on doing an activity, being wined and dined, etc. this is sending a message that we are more than just one-night stands or an experiment, but mature, sophisticated women who deserve respect. Decide what your standards are and stick to them. For example, I dont like crude or lude remarks, but I do enjoy flirting and innuendo. If a cub doesnt present a picture or profile, I dont even respond. I insist on chatting with a cub before I will grant them access to my private gallery or agree to date him. (I wish cougarlife.com provided a way to chat onsite as many others do.) Some scam artists are easy to point out and I report my suspicions immediately. If we each do that we will clean the site up for all of us. All sites have scam artists. Its the nature of the venue, unfortunately. I have found that a good way to separate the "wheat from the shaft" is to chat with them a bit. If they seem only interested in naughty pictures, talking exclusively and explicitly about sex, ask to see you on camera (whether or not they do the same) and then ask you to remove clothing or perform a sexual act, show you explicit photos of themselves without your requesting it, chat in a manner inconsistent for their age, express excessive devotion or a desire for a commitment after just meeting, consistently express a desire to meet but then always having scheduling conflicts, I immediately become suspicious. Yes, there are a lot of obstacles and, yes, each has happened to me multiple times but I have had many enjoyable enccounters. If you are looking to experience intimacy and physical pleasure, then a site like cougarlife.com is a great venue for finding this. My dates have all been interesting and have involved good conversation as well as sex. If you are looking for a meaningful relationship with a young man, I cant say you wont find it on this site but it is unlikely -- just as it is unlikely to find this anywhere else.

One more thing... I am on another cougar site as well, and I find cougarlife.com to be much more attractive. Its appearance is very professional and I find a lot more choices.

I paid for a subscription June 20, 2015. I was given 3 options. One seemed more economical, it stated the price and "3 months", nothing else. Clicking on it, it takes you to the payment processing page. I failed to look this page over. The initial price was tripled, and I only found out thru my emailed receipt. The advertised price is PER MONTH, not for 3 months. Added onto this, there is a credit system, which I was not aware of during my purchase. Every time you send me message, you lose credits, so you will likely run out of credits and have to pay even more if you are active. I was really maddened by the marketing scam, deleted my picture and profile information. I called their Customer Service number. Beware: They have a no refund policy, which is apparently available in 3 different areas. They downgraded me to a 1 month subscription, instead of my quarterly, so I got a partial refund which works out to about 40%. This is high end-marketing, bordering being a scam, but they have lawyers write their policies and it's all "legal", just not ethical. Don't expect any customer service from them. I can't comment on the selection from the website. My account shall remain inactive for the month, and I cannot recommend CougarLife under any circumstances. 30 year old professional male

Their commercial has a pornstar named Julia Anne in it (the blonde in the red dress). That right there was a red flag. I have heard nothing but bad things about this site. I even watched a friend start a profile and almost immediately after he was finished he receives about 10 messages from supposed women who were interested in him. Really? That fast and that many?

I am a 43 year old successful woman living in South Florida and I have to say that this site has been very good to me. I am attractive and intelligent, but am interested only in a side NSA arrangement. I had more guys interested in meeting me than I know how to handle, some interested in only hookups others in something more long term. Since I am looking for casual fun, it wasn't a problem if the guys were looking for hookups. I have a lot of interest, so it's been easy to pick the guys I want, and it's usually based on looks, education level and intuition. One 22 old wanted something 'more' and even got jealous that I was still on the site and talking to others. That was a bit odd, and unfortunately it ended. The other guys I met with have stayed in touch, and I could meet with them periodically if I'd like to. From my experience, the site is not fake, as there are plenty of eager available guys. I am not sure about the pool of active female members, it's probably a mixed bag. As for me, I'm quite 'real', have a guest account, recent photos that range from g-rated up the scale. From my perspective, the guys who take time to put together a good profile and recent pics are the ones who catch my attention. I completely dismiss profiles with no pics, and pay close to zero attention to those who have pictures but no narrative description, unless the guy is a CK model. And lastly, all the guys I met were under 30. I see no reason to meet with guys 35 + on this website, although I get plenty of them hitting me up. While I understand some of the negative reviews, many sound whinny, even bitter. I also believe that being in a large metropolitan area increases the pool of active members and the chances of meeting someone.

Also, I pushed my sent message key a couple of times and guess what? Cougar life sent about 50 messages to 50 guys that I did not choose and told them that I was interested in them . Well, it wasn't true. In fact they sent 50 guys messages that lied to them telling them that I was interested in them. Just press your sent messages girls, you will see. So yes it is true the site uses a girl's profile and pics to lie to the guys. Absolutely true. Also I wasn't into any of them . I sent one message to one guy I liked and he emailed me back 2x. At least I think he was real.

I was disgusted and put out by this boy in his twenties that asked me if I was looking to be his sugar momma as he didn't give his out free and he demanded money for his big d#ck. So that's gross crass and illegal. That's when I deleted my account. Not enough good people to outweigh the derelicts and lowlife. Tuck and double tuck. Goodbye cougarlife and good riddance.

for me i haven't checked the site but can imagine from other sites it is a scam or why charge to basically receive facebook?as far as women messaging a guy before they see a picture...well if they are real that is an admirable character and shouldn't be criticized.what because she's not vain?wow!new thing when you start hating on that.there are fake ones out there and can imagine the disappointment and it gets frustrating but best thing to do is go up to random women ask them are you single?i know scary and quite creepy.but i'd rather be creepy and save the 40-50$ that could go towards the date.

This site is a total Scam DO NOT buy into it or it's commercials.

I have used this on and off for a total of 3 months and met 2 women off this site.
Both didn't work out as one was an hour and half away and We couldn't find a day to meet the other we went on one date and never heard back from her again. So their are actually people on this site but their hidden throughout the 98% of fake profiles. The subscription system is a joke NEVER use your credit card use a prepaid visa as it's almost impossible to cancel your subscription and even if your a day into using it and you don't like it you still won't get your money back. They say that their available 9-5 Monday to Friday which is kind of weird as most people work that time and it's super embarrassing to call but lasts time I cancelled it was relatively easy but don't expect a refund.

But the part that sucks is that they lure you in with emails saying these women have flirted with you and messaged you but as soon as you sign up and reply nobody messages you back and I tried messaging at least 12 women most with filled out profiles none messaged back again some of the profiles I think are old and haven't been deleted as they have no last online date on them. Another thing the messaging system sucks it costs you 5 points to message a person as well as your monthly subscription so when you run out of points for messaging you have to pay again which is I think $25 for 100 more points which is total Waste.

As we'll most of them women I did get a message back said I am too young and I am in my early 20s not sure what the women on this site are looking for as my thought when I think cougar is 40-50 something women looking for 20-30 something man apparently not. They have an unrealistic view of what most of the people whom join want. If you are interested in meeting someone older or younger use a free dating site like olcupid or plentyoffish less BS then this site.
