Tips and Tricks for Getting a BetterHelp Refund
- Contact customer service promptly as soon as you decide to cancel or feel dissatisfied to increase chances of refund.
- Be polite and clear in all communications, explaining why the service didn’t meet your needs without showing frustration or hostility.
- Insist on a refund for unused sessions or unused time emphasizing you did not benefit from the service.
- Use the phrase “my issue is not resolved” to keep the conversation active and compel agents to respond faster.
- Reply quickly to all customer service messages to keep them on a response clock, which pressures them to deal with your refund request swiftly.
- Escalate politely to supervisors or managers if the initial agent is unhelpful.
- Mention BBB complaints or negative public reviews if facing resistance, as it sometimes motivates better service.
- Request refunds for the most recent monthly payment as older payments typically are not refunded by the company.
- Emphasize that you never used or barely used the service (e.g., only signed up but didn’t attend sessions) to strengthen refund requests.
- Call customer service if possible as some users reported easier full refunds by phone versus email or chat.
- Be persistent but polite and keep the conversation ongoing to avoid delays or ignoring of your case.
- Cancel immediately after deciding BetterHelp isn’t right for you to avoid more charges and increase chances of refund.
- Use timing to your advantage by responding to messages promptly, but spacing out your replies just enough to keep the communication going without rushing, pressuring service reps to prioritize your request.
