My 2¢; OP should do a charge-back. If anything bots don't do chargebacks. While you have no recourse in free services, you do when you pay with a credit card.

While you have no recourse in free services, you do when you pay with a credit card. Likewise the CC will still charge Tinder the processing fee of 1%-3%, so every chargeback is not only revenue lost but also a cost.
Unfortunately all that advice is void if OP used a debit card.
- Nextgrid 5y agoCard disputes are mediated by the card networks and will absolutely work on debit cards - in this case it’s a clear example of paying for a product and not receiving it so it should be an open & shut case. Chargebacks on credit cards may have more protection granted by the banks or the law, but the basic level of disputing a transaction is available even to debit cards.
- vxNsr 5y agoPretty sure you can still do a chargeback with a debit card if the purchase was made “on credit” as all online purchases are. But wanted to add another thing, chargebacks are for cases of fraud, so the cc network actually charges the retailer a not insignificant fee for each chargeback, it’s why BigTech will shutdown your account if you do a chargeback, bec 9/10 times if it’s on your account you did mean to spend that money you just forgot about it. If you didn’t you better be ready to prove it and still burn the account that you chargeback on (i.e. lose your gmail account bec someone compromised your account and bought stuff on android)
- generalEvie 5y agoWhile attempting a chargeback can be good advice, be very wary if you paid for the service via Google / Apple.
- t-writescode 5y agoif paid via Apple, ask Apple directly. I've gotten subscriptions refunded for Match.com's dark patterns, for example.
