Elite singles are not scammers that is why I am correcting my review here, yet they are not clear that they only serve US clients, it is not an international service, they do not have a mobile application. You meet non matching profiles. The finance are very reluctant to reply so for a quick response I finally reached this email *******@elitesingles.com My advise don't waste your money over paid dating sites, there are lots of free apps to check.
I paid almost $80 for one month subscription! I don't believe, it doesn't even match me with the correct people. Why it is advertised that it is one of the best apps for professional singles. It's so expensive even for $5!
Don't bother wasting your money on this site, you are better off looking for potential matches on popular sites like Hinge, Bumble, etc. I made the mistake of trying something different due to my age but that was a big mistake and a waste of over $100. There are very, very few 'elite' singles. I have a graduate degree and asked for individuals with a similar education but that didn't happen and still doesn't. I am trying to be careful here and not be condescending to other people and their background. It's not what I am looking for and am not happy with wasting money on a site that definitely has false advertising.
Tip for consumers:
Your comments are under review which makes sense but I had comments rejected and wasn't told why. Maybe because I used the word sarcastic? Didn't have issues with any other sites.

You want men who don't message, or just are too old and think that because it is called elite they are something special.
I signed up because I am a business women who was sick of the free sites, but wow!
If your not over 48 or desperate. The men seem to be either over "elite " in the snobby way. I hate men who are full of themselves, and sorry I don't need a man to offer me money or thing cause they have it I am an option.

I notified them of the cancelation, and they continued charging - any business that does not give you an address to complain is not one to deal with. Try yourself and you will find. 86 year old

They claim to have tens of thousands of new members a week. I keep seeing the same matches every day for the past month since I joined. I wrote to several women but they were all over the USA. I'm in FL. I wish that I did not join. I'm thinking of waiting until covid-19 is solved and making a personal resume. I'll hand them to women on the beach in Hollywood, FL and I expect better results.
Tip for consumers:
Put up a lot of good photos.
You will know after two weeks if you like the site.
If you do not like the site remember to set the auto renew to not renew. Do it right away. If you wait you may forget. Take a screen image for evidence.
Check your bill at the end of the 90 days to make sure that they did not bill you again even though you said not to.
Their phone number is *******026.

The quantity of paying members is minimal, so your options of someone close to your area is very small, perhaps 2 to 4 in your city. That is for a month. Also, the site is full of scam members with fake profiles with who knows what intentions. Previous to joining the site I did my research and found excellent reviews, for sure they are fake. I just wrote this information so other people save their money and disappointment.

Nothing elite about this dating site. There is no ability to do your own search and majority of matches I receive are >100 miles away. Watch out for the distance you chose in your search filter. I chose 50 miles (the smallest miles possible) but every couple of days Elite Singles changes it to 500 miles. I change it back to 50 & every other time I check, it is changed to 500. Unethical company! They will never get a another penny from me.

Trying to cancel my account is near impossible. I cannot find a phone number or an email that seems to get through to these scammers. I imagine they will send my account to collections soon. I hope others are not caught in this horrific whirlpool of non-service.
Tip for consumers:
How do you cancel your membership? Their customer service seems automated and extremely unhelpful.

Having their 72 hr. Window only to ask for a refund is RIDICULOUS! The3y kept sending me the same pitiful selections--miles away from my requested zone. The couple men I responded to, didn't respond to me, yet the site kept sending me the same folks.

Really, do not simply gloss over all of the negative reviews regarding this site. Trust me, these reviews are accurate. This site is filled with fake profiles and scammers. And the few profiles that are legit... are hardly what I'd call "elite." If you're actually a professional, you can do much better.
Date of experience: September 29, 2022
This site is awful. Clearly most of the profiles are fake. The site promises 6-7 matches daily, which is not possible, so the site creates fake profiles. Customer service is impossible to get ahold of. The contact email address does not work. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME!

I get periodic excited emails that someone smiled at me then can't find that person. It's just a mishmash of photos with very little connection. Extremely disappointed!
Tip for consumers:
Don't bother. It's a mess

Wow. I am NOT a snob. Grew up blue collar, work hard for a living. Not looking for a sugar daddy, nor a man I have to support. Looking for passion, honesty, EQ, IQ, laughter, kindness, empathy. Not getting the "elite" hits I thought this site would provide. Not within my age criteria, or within the realm of the 1+ hour I spent explaining who I am and what I'm looking for. So disappointed.

Outrageous!
Poor customer service!
Keep taking fees and make it almost impossible to cancel! No refunds!
Cannot make contact... cannot speak to anyone... just silly suggested help questions!
Lots of fake profiles!
No real selective matches!
Match with profiles 100+ 200 miles away when stipulate 25 mile radius!
Very poor site indeed!
Over the last 3 years I have experienced a few dating sites and this is definitely the worst!

Elite? Are you kidding me? They don't consider your search criteria at all. I am a college professor, they matched me with the women with high school diploma living 1000 miles away, most of them having no photos. I tried to filter matches, but it didn't work.

Poor algorithms; no easy way of contacting the company; can't understand why I get same profiles on Silversingles. Is everyone on both sites. Silly us! Ps why are Australian men so short overweight and just plain unattractive.

Plenty of Scams - always the same message "I have a friend very interested in you - please email them"; click on show only profiles with photos - no photo profiles come up; much younger people message me & if I ask them questions they never return a message. This website is just a waste of time,, how it ranked #1 on dating site reviews I'm amazed... they must have paid off someone to get this lie printed.
Tip for consumers:
Stay Away - Don't Waste Your Money !!

This site is at best, one of the worst sites my friends and i have cime across, basically the whole health sector is going to eharmony instead, dont waste your money here

So, their name is, "Elite Singles", right? Supposedly, you're supposed to be have a greater than a high school education. Right? FALSE! This was the worst singles site I have ever used. AND, there's no phone number? That's crazy. I'm contacting the Better Business Bureau. PLEASE do not waste your money, time and effort on this worthless venue!
Date of experience: April 3, 2020
The worse dating site. Every profile that contacts me is fake. I have hard time believing scammers are paying for membership. Do not join this site it's a waste of money

I paid $150 for 3 months. So far I have only seen a small handful of profiles that are closer than 35 miles from home. I live in NH where 35 miles can take an hour or more each way. I am not interested in a long distance relationship. 90% of the "matches" are 35-50+ miles away. Also, I sent a customer support request weeks ago, crickets. They never responded. I'm going to delete my account and call this a sunk cost because it's not even worth logging in to see their supposed matches.
Date of experience: June 18, 2020
Agree with the other reviews here. Asked for a refund when I saw there were no matches within like flying distance of me, and they refused. Total scam. 'Elite' is also a stretch - more people with a high school diploma than anything else. Stay away!
Date of experience: July 11, 2019
It is just a basic dating site. Underwhelming interface and limited features. Nothing "Elite" other than the fact that there is no free subscription or trial period. Not worth the money in my opinion.

Tried highlighting 3 stars for quality of men and a big huge 1 overall! 2 weeks since signing up. $191 for 6 months, its a lump sum fee, they dont do monthly. 31 guys emailed me, 71 have searched my profile, 149 have been matched to me by the site. None of them are my match. Like seriously... none. Though you check mark your preference you will get a wild card of matches no matter what. I have had 2 dates outside of the site?! One guy I met at the grocery store, the other while at the mall. Go figure. Not one affiliated with the site. Now I noticed the same round of random pictures popping up in the matches. Something shady about this. I am an Executive. There's nothing elite about this site. EHarmoney is said to be better. Stay tuned, I will give another update on Elite Singles in a few weeks.
Tip for consumers:
Couldnt get in touch with anyone for a refund so there's your customer service score. I will uodate again in a few weeks... Let's see how tgis goes since the money is spent... So far not good and would not recommend

Poorest dating site I've encountered. I'm sure it is facilitated from of a foreign country (Germany?) I've been on site for 6 months and met three men that said I was the first woman they've met in this city! All have been over 100 miles away or more!
I'm done!
Tip for consumers:
Almost all prospective dates live well over miles or more away from the area I was looking for!
Date of experience: March 15, 2020
I have tried a few different sites and have decided to quit after being in Elite- the worst one out there. It barely shows any matches whatsoever. I was successful with Match.com because at least they show you people when you feel like looking. Elite is so restrictive you might as well just torch the money. Personally, the Facebook dating App is better. You can see if you have friend connections so safer. Plus you can creep them. Lol Go back to common friend and then find their name! Good luck everyone.
