MyHeritage was extremely helpful when my 14 day free trial came to an end. I was too late to unsubscribe only by a few hours. The money was charged straight away to my account and when I asked to be refunded by email they got back to me straight away. The refund came through within 3 days. I am very grateful.

I sent an email asking a question about my membership at 11am, to my shock they had replied in person at 1pm. Absolutely the best service I've ever had. Even compared to face to face communication with businesses. Thanks My Heritage...

Levei um grande susto quando tentei acessar a minha árvore e vi que ela estava em nome de outra pessoa, assim eu não poderia mais fazer nenhuma alteração, modificação ou inclusão nela.
Felizmente, depois de algumas tentativas e com a ajuda do Suporte do MyHeritage, consegui recuperar a minha árvore, confesso que achei que a tinha perdido.
Agradeço a ajuda de todo o suporte, em especial ao Jonas, que a recuperou para mim.

I talked to Patrick to help me sign into the MyHeritage site so I could order a DNA kit.
Patrick was very helpful, very professional. He gave me a sign-in code and stayed on the phone with me to be sure I was able to sign in. A very good experience for me thanks to Patrick.

Made it very difficult to cancel free trial. Required multiple emails, a phone call and threats to contact BBB. They charged my credit card anyway after 2 weeks though now claim to have reversed the charge after I complained enough.

Dear Kelly,

I regret to find your low star review and that you found it difficult to cancel your free trial.

Issues such as canceling the free trial are important to us and we do try to make it easy for our registered members by allowing one to view the status or cancel a trial subscription at any time online when logging into MyHeritage from the My Purchases page to incur no annual charge. It is also true to note that MyHeritage informs all members of the annual charge and its price on the automatic email that is sent out after you enroll in the trial membership and before every renewal.

If one is unable to log in for any reason, they are absolutely guaranteed a refund because our terms and conditions that read that If you are not satisfied with your purchase you may request a full refund by contacting Customer Support within thirty (30) days of the initial purchase date of the subscription.

(Our terms and conditions) ----> https://www.myheritage.com/FP/Company/popup-terms-conditions.php

Al that said, your overall satisfaction is what is most important to me and If you need any further assistance with your refund, please feel free to e-mail me personally at [email protected]. I'd be always happy to assist you with high priority.

Sincerely
Rafael

I have very positive impression about this company. Assistance is very helpful. Only reason I rated 4 stars and not 5 is because for some geografical regions they are not very specific. But still, for some regions they are, so I recommend this company.

I was concerned that my DNA results were taking much longer than indicated. I make phone contact with a most helpful employee, who went through my problem, discovered the reason for the delay, explained it would be rectified within five working days. I was impressed with your employee`s courtesy and efficiency.

Globalement très satisfait de ce site, juste un petit problème de mot de passe en plusieurs années vite résolu par un appel téléphonique.
Puis je me permettre de vous dire que le statut premium est quand même un peu trop cher - vous devriez faire une réduction après la première année de 30 ou 50%

Cordialement
