Why you should think about deleting your Jdate dating account?

Just like any other dating service, there are a few negative sides to Jdate that you might not appreciate. Let us take a look at some of these negative details that might make you want to delete your account permanently and leave the platform for something better.

Even though there is an option to use the platform for free, there isn’t much you can accomplish without a paid subscription. Many useful features are hidden behind a paywall and you will have to purchase the membership to be able to use them. You will have to subscribe to the paid option if you want to message other users, hide your profile and online status, see photos of other users, and many more.

Since the site is supposed to be for long-term and serious relationships, it is not suited to individuals that aren’t ready to tie the knot yet or commit to something serious, If you are looking for casual relationships and hookups this is not the platform for you.

And if you are a woman on Jdate you have a disadvantage because women outnumber men by quite a bit. More than 60% percent of the user base is female so that’s a disadvantage if you are looking for a male partner.

Jdate also doesn’t seem to have a sophisticated matching algorithm. It only includes a simple matching algorithm so there is less chance of you getting highly compatible partners. if you want to get highly compatible matches based on your personalities, Jdate is not it.

If you choose to buy the premium subscription it is going to cost you a pretty penny because it is one of the more expensive membership options you can purchase in the dating world. There are other options that are much cheaper and include similar or sometimes even better features.

According to reviews by previous users on Yelp, there seems to be a negative opinion about Jdate’s services. People seem to have been dissatisfied with many things. Users have stated that they received a lot of incompatible matches with improper age groups or people who live too far away.

Users also seem to encounter a lot of catfish (people pretending to be someone else) and scammers who are out to get your money. People also complained about seeing fake profiles and bots that seem to send spam messages and don’t seem to reply when initiating conversations with them. Users stated that these bot accounts ruined their experience on the site.

People were also unhappy with the customer support team from Jdate. They stated that the customer care was unable to solve their problems or was very late and unprofessional. Users also said they have had issues with recurring payments and the staff did nothing to help solve the issues they were facing.

Users have also complained about the company trying to coerce you to buy the premium membership-based on false assurances and fake profiles. Users stated that they received a lot of winks and messages before purchasing the premium subscription. But after they did so, the messages and winks stopped altogether.

After being aware of these facts, I hope you have a better idea about the negative side of Jdate. If you feel like these facts changed your opinion of Jdate you can choose to permanently delete your account and leave the platform for something better.

What happens when you delete your Jdate dating account?

When you delete your Jdate dating account, your online dating profile will be removed from the platform along with all your personal information. You will not show up in the search results or recommendations either.

Please keep in mind that once your profile is removed you will not be able to access any of the information again. This includes your profile information, matches, and messages. If there is any information within your profile that you would like to have access to, it is recommended that you retrieve it before you remove your profile.

And remember that the removal of your profile cannot be reversed. You will also not receive new matches nor will you be able to message any of your matches.

All your previous and current matches and messages, profile photos, and all previous activity on the site will also be removed without a trace. You will be hidden from other potential partners and will not be able to receive messages from them either. All notifications from Jdate will also be silenced when you delete your account.

If you are a premium member and have time left on your subscription, it will be discarded and cannot be refunded or applied to other profiles either. Remember that Jdate does not have a policy of refunding premium subscriptions after deleting your account.

It is also recommended that you first unsubscribe from your current subscription plan before deleting your account.  By deleting your account, you will lose all exclusive membership features and options that come with it.

You will not be able to get restore your account in any way as it is a permanent process. If you want to use Jdate again, you will have to create a new account and start over.

What happens when you unsubscribe or cancel your Jdate dating subscription?

When you unsubscribe or cancel your Jdate premium membership, you will stop getting billed for the premium membership on the next payment cycle. And be warned that all subscriptions are non-refundable and you will not get back your money after you have canceled your membership.

You will still be billed for the full subscription, but you will still have access to all premium features until the subscription lasts. This action will only prevent you from being charged from the next month and onwards if you do not wish to continue paying for your premium subscription.

You will also not be entitled to any discounts on future subscriptions when you cancel early.

If you do not wish to renew your subscription, you must cancel it at least 24 hours before the renewal date. This is the policy of the stores of Apple and Google and Jdate is unable to change it. The same thing is valid if you have paid for the membership using our debit card, credit card, or another payment service like PayPal.

Your profile may have been banned due to a breach of contract as specified in Jdate’s Terms and Conditions. Remember that you as a member have agreed to these terms when you signed up for the service.

For this reason, Jdate reserves the right to ban your account if they find a clear offense such as sharing inappropriate comments or pictures or posting private contact details on the site.
