FRAUD! ATTENTION! THEY STOLE MY MONEY AND CLOSED MY ACCOUNT. VERY UNUSEFUL AND IGNORANT SUPPORT TEAM

Verification scam - they will charge you for verification even though they don't mention they will. It's a complete scam and they won't refund it they hide behind their terms of use. I've gone back and forth with them a bit now and currently disputing the charge with my bank as a scam. Someone should do a class action against these rats.

it is always a gamble, have had bad experiences, and one or two that were okay and inevitably as a sole female there is this weird male assumption that you ar , available for free sex. so Just be mindful. also paid the member fee which is not very much I know and was never given the access by them so will never use them again.

Scammers... I clicked just to verify my account as so many app required and they charged me without any advice 56 euros! I am reclaiming it and hope they refunds my money and reverse the operation. If not I am denuncing them for scam!

BEWARE OF VERIFICATION - DO NOT click on verification..... you will be charged 60 bucks although there is NO warning whatsover of being charged anything . I don't know how they get away with doing that. You will have to dispute the charge with your bank Couchsurfing won't refund you

I registered at couchsurfing and the site recommended me to verify. I thought it was something like amazon card check. I saw 1,670UAH charge just before confirming, thinking it was 1,67UAH which would some 2 cents. As soon as I saw, my card was charged more than 40USD, I was shocked. I opened a dispute at bank and the site. But the site rejected it. It should have been called membership. I couldn't see this coming as it seemed like a big site. I deleted my account immediately. If I wanted a lifetime membership, whay would I open a dispute immediately? couchsurfing is a total scam site run by online criminals. I should have checked out here before even registering at this scam site :((

The log in with apple button is not there on my Mac. Which means that using couch surfing on my computer, which is my preferred way of interacting with content is not possible. They also recently deactivated my account. After doing some googling it seems like you are supposed to be able to log in again by just logging in and hitting a reactivate button. But when I try to log in it gives me an error message. I feel like this is a scam considering I paid money for a yearly subscription. ABSOLUTE SCAM AVOID AT ALL COSTS
