Dear Gillian,

I regret to find that you were charged for an annual membership without knowing of the annual membership charge and I will do all I can to issue you a refund as soon as possible.

Firstly, I must clarify that MyHeritage informs all of the annual charge and its price on the automatic email that is sent out after you enroll in the membership and before every renewal. Also, one may view the status or cancel an annual subscription at any time when logging in to MyHeritage from the My Purchases page and incur no annual charge.

Your member experience is very important to us and we really do value the satisfaction of all of our members. This is why our terms and conditions read that If you are not satisfied with your purchased plan you may request a full refund by contacting Customer Support within thirty (30) days of the initial purchase date of the subscription.

I would be happy to assist you personally with canceling your membership and issuing you a full refund. In order to do so, I’m going to need to locate your account.

Please send me a message from your registered e-mail address at rafael.vipsupport@myheritage.com so I may assist you with this as soon as possible.

I will be looking for your e-mail.

Kind Regards
Rafael

Dear MyHeritage member,

I am sorry to read your review and would like to resolve the issue for you.

Firstly, I must clarify that MyHeritage informs all of any charge and its price on the automatic e-mail that is sent out after you enroll in a subscription and after every renewal or purchase a DNA kit. Also, one may view the status or cancel an annual subscription at any time when logging in to MyHeritage from the My Purchases page and incur no annual charge.

Your member experience is very important to us and we really do value the satisfaction of all of our members. This is why our terms and conditions read that If you are not satisfied with your purchased plan you may request a full refund by contacting Customer Support within thirty (30) days of the initial purchase date of the subscription.

I would be more than happy to assist you personally with issuing you a full refund. In order to do so, I’m going to need to locate your account.

Please send me a message from your registered e-mail address at shane.vipsupport@myheritage.com so I may assist you with this as soon as possible.

Basically you can't find out anything without upgrading to a "Premium" account. The website says MyHeritage is "free," but it's really not...

Sounds like a bunch of BS. After reading the reviews, it certainly doesn't sound very reliable. Also, said free and it's not.
