NEW PRINTABLE CARD FORMAT IS AWFUL
September 19, 2018

Since you have changed the format for the printable cards it is so user unfriendly I just give up. I have used your and American Greetings site for years now and the new format is awful to work with and having to change the settings in my browser just to get a card centered is ridiculous. I find everything about the new format user unfriendly and less easy options to change text wording and size limitations that were never there before and it all just never prints out right. I will not be renewing my subscription unless you improve your card formatting in the next couple of months. Why you would change the original site and format when it worked so well is beyond me and you replaced it with a far inferior and complex format. Shirley Spiteri, Canada

Very confusing cancellation setup online. Realized today that I have been billed for the last few months despite canceling. They tell me I should have gotten a cancellation confirmation. This is not in the cancellation instructions. I had to insist that they refund me for unused canceled membership. They would only refund 2/3 months I was billed. Will not use this company again

They cheat and steal your money
February 16, 2018

Every time I use them, I do not sign up for continual membership or so I think.
When you try to cancel it is like trying to make a visit to the Pope.
I am so sick of them... If you care about where your money is spent do not use this site.

From the best e-card provider to the woret!
January 12, 2018

Also have been a paying member for years but after renewing again within the last two month I'm still being asked to join when I log on? Can't get through the maze of questions and pages that pop up asking me to join after I log in?

Christmas bug!
December 20, 2017

I've used Blue Mountain's cards for five years. The program to select the card and personalize it has been hard to use this year because of bugs. For example, this year's card was sent out today (12/20/2017) but the card arrived with changes I did not make. There is a large, black banner across the card showing the name of the music playing and some song words included. It is in each panel! Perhaps the company is planning to write a new user program or repair it. *******357

I was reviewing my Capital One transactions and found this $4.99 charge from BlueMountain.com. I'm trying to rack my brain as to who this is. I looked them up on the Internet and found their site. Ecards? I must have given them my information at one point. I was able to find the email I used for the userid and request a password reset. They have a surprisingly good website because I could actually pull up every one of their charges. They show a renewal charge for every month going back to August of 2015! They DEFAULT the trial 7 day period to automatically renew! The default should be to not renew. Any merchant that defaults to auto renew are con artists and should be blocked from doing business on the internet--they should not have access to customer's credit card information. They give you a seven day trial and then start milking. And if I could remember back in 2015, this fact was probably buried in small print. Unbelievably bad business practices. I concur with all of the complaints. I wish I could give negative stars.

Yearly subscription charge impossible to cancel
January 5, 2017

Year subscription will be charged to your credit card. No way to call and speak to customer service. No reply to inquires through email. To cancel call your credit card company and have them issue new number to stop automatic payment. Read all fine print with this business. Use a gift card type credit card that's for one time use to avoid the yearly subscription fee. Use Jib Jab they have excellent customer service.

Appalling
December 20, 2016

I signed up for a a free trial free period only to discover that they have taken money from my card even though I cancelled within two days of the free five day trial. I am now going to have to cancel my credit my card as the only safe way to close this down.
Don't go near them.

Not a quality business
October 24, 2016

I had to sign up to get a birthday card. The website says one can cancel any time, or ELSE, they charge you every month. I quickly tried to cancel, to find that I had to actually call someone. Of course, they were having "heavier than usual phone traffic" so I had to leave my number. All of that process took about 5 minutes and I'm still waiting for the call back. Not simple. Kind of a rip off and very obviously meant to frustrate you so you don't continue with the ridiculous cancellation process.

Beware American greed
September 27, 2016

I signed up for a trial period only.
Blue Mountain then automatically charge me a monthly fee using the credit card on file.
This was unauthorized. Upon writing to them they claim no refund policy and some jabber about continuous enrollment.
This is undeclared.
Don't give out your credit card number to anyone on line. It gives them access forever with or without your consent.
Lesson learned here.

Total fraud
September 14, 2016

I signed up in 2015 for an annual membership for $19.99, thinking I could send birthday wishes, Christmas and other holiday cards, etc. as it turned out, I was NEVER able to complete a send! Therefore, after repeated attempts, within 30 days of joining, I contacted the company and verbally requested a cancellation. Today, 1 1/2 years later, a charge of $19.99 was presented against my bank account! I contacted my bank to dispute the charge and was informed that if I wanted to dispute the charge they would have to cancel my card, issue another card which could take up to 10 days, and open a claim which could take up to 1 month! My only other alternative was to contact the company directly which I did. After a 45 minute totally frustrating period of trying to use their system, I was able to speak with an agent and only when I threatened legal action did they issue a refund (haven't seen actual refund yet) but this company is pathetic in the way the do business and I am convinced that it's actually cheaper to drive to a store and buy the cards rather than go through this disruption of my life even for $19.99!

Beware!

I have never used this service, never signed up for a free trial yet I keep getting charged for either $1.00 or for $29.99. I disputed the charges on my credit card and had them blocked.

Paid e-cards?
November 24, 2015

This site ALWAYS turns up in my "FREE e-card" search when they don't actually have any free cards. I hate how when ever I go to this site I get the impression that I won't have to pay money to send the e-cards, but when I try to personalize that e-card I am told to sign up. Ok, fine... but when I try to sign up it turns out they charge a MONTHLY FEE. A monthly fee for E-CARDS.

I wish i'd seen this review first
June 12, 2015

My experience is similar to the others'. I signed up for the trial and used it immediately to see if the site would work for me. It did not offer enough template flexibility and I proceeded to cancel within the hour. You cannot cancel online. I got thru on the phone and asked them to also delete my credit card info. I was looking at the credit card info online as the rep told me that they didn't store it. I couldn't get her to budge so I wrote an email back to the company. Really bad customer service. Too bad 'cause I love their cards. Will contact my bank next.

FREE TRIAL R IP OFF!

They charged my Creidt Car $19.99 but did not warn me I needed to cancel the 7 day free trial. They refuse to payback. An e mail reminder should have been sent out.

I am in England and many of my cards do not get delivered because the option given is a named month, not the number of the month, Therefore a card to be delivered on July 21,2014 will never be delivered as it is transposed into American date form as 7, 21, 2014 and there are not 21 months in the year. I have spent ages explaining and I just get back that my cards are being delivered. No they are not

I've cancelled the subscription last year at no avail. They still charged my credit card and said also sorry for the cancellation but it will stop next year. Great, I let it go.
On 12/15/13 I happen to check my credit card account to pay my bill, only to see that the transaction was pending. I cancelled immediately again this subscription, and called my credit card immediately to have them stop this payment that was done without my authorization. I got again the same famous e-mail! I am furious at this company, and they need to be stopped!

STAY AWAY!

I was charged for a second month yesterday and called to say I did not want the second month and I waned to cancel. They said they would stop the charge but would not credit my account,
