I joined it 4 years ago and never received any information about events. Each year I have tried to cancel my membership but to no avail. My credit card expired and they say I still owe them money after going through the ridiculous cancelling requirements, but of course have never attended a single event.

To explore the active groups in your InterNations Community, simply log into InterNations and navigate to Groups. We hope you find a group that excites you. If not, you have the option to start your own group.

Additionally, our Guide and Forum sections are filled with valuable information. Here, you can learn about your destination, expat life, and exchange insights with fellow expats.

Great idea, poor implementation

The idea behind this community is quite brilliant, but the lack of support and a medieval app make everything quite complicated.
I was trying to ask clarification about membership (Albatross) renewal, but they were not able to follow-up. The high volume of requests is not surprinsing for such a weird membership & renewal policies. Funny enough, I was going to keep my subscription, but in the end I had to cancel without getting proper answers to my needs.
Finally, a tighter control on events created by local ambassadors would be fair, above all in Milano we have someone that promotes events with payments on the edge of IN policies, and nobody ever answered to my report.

It's a SCAM, don't sign up!

I subscribed on this site with a free trial. After my account was created, I tried to log in for the start process and their pages were giving me issues. I emailed them that I couldn't access much, and someone replied that my email address was not associated with this site. BIZARRE. I got pissed and wanted now to cancel everything. I logged the site on my phone which then allowed me to downgrade my membership to basic, but I also wanted to close my entire account. I filled the page and clicked to delete to which I got a technical error. I tried to log in again and I am getting a message saying that the site has banned me from access. Worst 15min experience of my life. Do your research and do not do it it's a SCAM and nothing of this sort is normal. I cancelled my credit card immediately so no one can use it because I will never know if they closed my account and reading horror stories of cards being charged without consent.

Internations ha scalato un abbonamento annuale, nonostante io abbia richiesto il suo annullamento il 28 marzo. Alla conferma dell'avvenuta cancellazione mi rimandava a un errore di pagina, dopo vari tentativi mi sono convinta che fosse comunque andata a buon fine. Ed invece no, mi scalano un anno di abbonamento e da un mese non rispondono alle mie richieste di rimborso.

Internations c'est fini!
Entreprise sur le déclin depuis le covid, ils ont essayé de relancer des abonnements premium après le covid, à 119 € l'année alors qu'avant le covid on payait 70 € pour l'année. Il y a un déclin total des activités dans de nombreuses villes, en France tout du moins donc ça n'a plus vraiment d'intérêt.
À défaut d'avoir pu se renouveler, Internations doit maintenant laisser la place à d'autres moyens de partage et de rencontres.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We understand your concerns about the subscription pricing and activities.

We value your membership and aim to offer the best possible experience in our community. Due to increased costs, we can no longer offer Albatross Membership at the former rate. As communicated on 18 November 2022, the new price applies to billing cycles starting after 1 January 2023. You can downgrade to Basic Membership on the Membership page if preferred.

To see active groups in your InterNations Community, log in and go to Groups. If you don’t find a group that excites you, consider starting your own.

We appreciate your support and hope you’ll see the improvements we’re making. Your feedback is invaluable as we strive to meet the evolving needs of our members

I would not recommend joining…

I would not recommend joining InterNations. Unlike most organisations which offer free trials, they don't send any kind of reminder that the free trial is ending and that you will be billed soon - I have found several companies that do this, and because of their integrity and courtesy, I've ended up continuing with their services. InterNations, on the other hand, isn't a great website to use - I went on it when I signed up and found it an overall terrible user experience, so I didn't use any of its services during the free trial; I didn't log back on and InterNations, if they have the ability, they will see that I've not interacted. I didn't get any value from it, and I'm very dissatisfied with the experience and the lack of service received. As I would have if this was a restaurant or a store, I contacted InterNations with my grievances and asked for a refund and immediate termination of my subscription, but I've not heard anything back other than a 'We'll get back to you' message. It's been 7 days. For a global company, this is an appalling service and unfair trading.

Dear member,

Thank you for providing your feedback.

It saddens us to hear that you are dissatisfied with the automatic commencement of your paid Albatross Membership subscription after the conclusion of your free trial.

Please be aware that this information was prominently presented on the checkout page before initiating your free trial. Furthermore, it was reiterated in both your confirmation email and on your Membership page. In these communications, you were clearly informed of the following:

1. The free trial duration of 30 days.
2. Charges would apply only after the trial period ended.
3. You had the flexibility to cancel at any point during the free trial.

As you did not cancel your free trial within the 30-day period, you were subsequently billed for the selected subscription period.

We trust this provides clarification for any uncertainties you may have.

Should you have additional concerns, do not hesitate to reach out to our Support Team.

Best regards,
Your InterNations Team

How is it possible that these kind of…

How is it possible that these kind of company’s and customer support departments can still exists. It’s absolutely insane how they treat customers and it’s a big trap with their free trial. I already wrote this at other review company’s and keep on going. They charged me twice and it’s a mistake but they don’t have the decency to investigate and refund the money.

Dear Danielle,

Thank you for sharing feedback.

We’re truly sorry for the current situation.

We know it’s frustrating, but please don’t send multiple messages about the same topic to customer support. Instead of responding to you faster, this simply increases the backlog even more. And then it takes longer for us to reply to everyone.

We know our current response time is not up to our standards, and we’re doing our best to improve the support we offer as quickly as possible.

I regret to learn that you are displeased with the automatic initiation of your paid Albatross Membership subscription following the conclusion of your free trial.

Please note that this information was prominently displayed on the checkout page before commencing your free trial. Additionally, it was reiterated in your confirmation email and on your Membership page. On these platforms, you were informed of the following:

Your free trial would extend for 30 days. You would only incur charges after the conclusion of the trial period. You possessed the flexibility to cancel at any time during the free trial. Since you did not cancel your free trial within the 30-day timeframe, you were billed for the selected subscription period.

Beware the Free Trial

I've been a member of this website for 15+ years and occasionally try out its paid Albatross membership when a free trial is on offer.

On this occasion I unfortunately wasn't able to cancel the free trial in time. Technically, on my timezone in the US, I still had a day before I needed to cancel but because the website is based in Europe it charged me as soon as it hit midnight CET.

I've reached out to customer service to ask them to cancel the paid membership and issue me a refund. It's been over 21 days but have heard nothing back despite following up a week ago.

I wouldn't mind if I actually got anything beneficial from the paid membership but it's very limited value add. The website is full of fake profiles which don't seem to get removed because the user/content moderation and customer support are a joke.

I used to be an advocate for this community but at this point I am pretty much done using it.

Worst Customer Support. Extremely Bad Experience

No wonder why you guys already have such a bad rating. You really try to scam people by ignoring their cancellation requests.

Their support IGNORES you completely. They make it almost impossible to cancel. It's like they are trying to sell something which customer never wants.

Ignoring my multiple emails for months. Such a ridiculous behavior.

The registration form doesn't work properly, the anonymous staff rejects the application with o explanation. Following the very same link they provide for assistance, they are unable to connect the personal data you provide with the registered mail and you enter a loop of ignorance.

You will never see a worse site in your life…

Absolutely without question the single worst website/social network in existence. I’m a 42 year old married man, and WE were looking to network as we moved from the US TO France. The level of ignorance by ownership, the lack of effort by the organization, and the overall horrifically ran company is the worst this (me) software developer and (my wife) also a software developer has seen or will ever see. With our experience, we know a few hours in 1 afternoon would change it all, but ownership VERY clearly and VERY blatantly do not understand basic human interaction and they have zero self awareness.

Not great.

I had high hopes for meeting new like minded people on here however after less than 48 hours I've deleted my account as I was approached by many men directly which made me feel uncomfortable. It felt like a bad dating website, really slimey messages coming through.

I was also concerned that members aren't verified in any way. No idea who these men are it didn't feel safe at all. They were very direct.

I'm very glad I didn't sign up for Albatross based on all the negative reviews on here.

No heads up !

no notification about the 119 euro they charged me. I got the notifcation 03am in the morning. Wrote directly an email.
The app is unorganised to find clearly when your memberships end, and when you get charged ! Thos should be noticing very vlear in the app.
Also a lot of scammers on the app, a lotnof robots, your guided buddy is nothing but a robot. You can hardly ask questions.

You should have some service and reply to people who are unsatisfied with the app and the buisness, but its is hidden in the app where you first have to find the downgrading and than can delete your account ?
NO, You should received a notification, or a big button with unsubcripe.

And like the others, no refund will be made.

Do not download or give in your card number. Very very high fraud.
