The "monthly fee" will be charged a yearly amount, right up front, without them clearly marking it so. Then they're still going to include ads and will cap you at 50 people unless you upgrade to a higher amount. Disputing with the bank.

After three day of sending some cards, I decided to cancel during the free trial period. I firmly believed that I cancelled my subscription but saw that I was charge so disputed it with Citi.com. Citi says that I have to provide pertinent documentation. At this point all of my documentation is gone aince it has been more than a month.

I got a text invite from *******. I know a lot of people. The only way to find out if it is someone I really know is if I click the link. Not clicking a link in an unsolicited text. Sorry my friend, if you want me to attend please do not use punchbowl.

Incredible customer service! A great site to use and company to work with. Def worth a 5 star rating!

I spent 30 minutes creating and organizing a FREE invitation here. But in order to send and manage I had to PURCHASE an annual membership. No way around it. Slimy, dishonest and exceptionally poor business practices. Never again.

The web search result said it was free, but it's only a free 7 day trial then they charge you $40. That's not free.

They'll let you get through making your entire card before the final step, when it asks you make an account. You make an account, and then realize it didn't save your card. So annoyingly, you'll go back to remake your entire card, and then the final step this time will be to start their free trial or buy a subscription package. Great!
I know this is not an uncommon business practice but I've just had enough of it. Only two stars because the site was designed well.
Also, looks like two of the subscription packages don't even remove advertising. You get to pay up and still get to have ads on your card. Wow. And looks like this site requires you to make an account as well, lol. Never had needed to do something out of spite just in spite of something else. Time for tempmail again

I sent out my daughter's birthday invitation using punchbowl last night. For some reasons I can only login to my account through the website but not the app. What is going on? Is it a trick for force me not to be able to cancel the membership until the party is over? I used the exact same login with no problem on the website but it kept on saying trouble logging in when I tried to do it on the app! I feel cheated.

I'm not really sure why anyone would love this. I did the free trial and got charged (because I forgot, so that's my fault) $60 annual fee. I decided it would be fine since it had invitations and I could use it for other things. I cannot send out invitations without upgrading for EVEN MORE MONEY. What a joke. It's already digital, meaning it has no real material cost. $60 should be more than enough for what they're offering. I can't stand it. I would not recommend it to anyone.

They say you can cancel your membership within 7 days and you won't be charged. So I went ahead with sending my daughter's birthday invite. When I tried to cancel, it said I would no longer be able to manage the rsvp's. So I'm forced to keep the subscription until her party, which means paying for an entire year's membership. What a scam. I will never use Punchbowl again and I hope this review is a warning to everyone else.

I purchased a membership hoping for a month by month payment plan and did not realize I had signed up for an annual one. When asked to give feed back I mentioned that I was a disgruntled about paying for the full year when I intended to use it just for one occasion. The CEO quickly responded and refunded me the 11 months. I was not even asking for a refund but they gave me one anyway. This is the first time as a customer that an issue communicated in the feed back form was personally addressed by the CEO and so quickly, was very impressed.

Thank you so much, Alix from Punchbowl.com! I received an email back so quickly and my issue was resolved immediately! I so appreciate your help and understanding! Very pleased!

I had an issue but the Customer Service was great and took care of things very quickly. I would recommend this Company!

They have her spend her time under the impression that the service is free with ads until she hit "send invitation". That's when you find out that all your time has been wasted if you don't join a minimum $6.99/month program. Sure, you can cancel anytime, blah blah blah - but they can f*- off as far as I'm concerned with that type of tactic.

Punchbowel is a fantastic website.
I am able to connect each morning with my granddaughters before they leave for school. I can encourage friends who are going through a difficult time. Sending Birthday wishes is a snap. I can send more thank you card to friends. The service is outstanding. They reply quickly to any problems I have with cards. Love, love, love this company. Highly reccomend.

I wanted to say thank you for creating this service. Your application enabled me to set myself apart from other applicants in my hiring pool. A few months ago, I began being interviewed by Microsoft for several opportunities. It took a few rounds to align me with the proper opportunity; but the distinguishing factor during each round was the fact that I would send a Punchbowl Thank You Card. With your help, I eventually won them over and was offered a role to come aboard a couple of months ago. I really want to say thank you!

I paid for this website for a 3.99 card which is already expensive as heck, but I got charged 35.88 because they charged me for the ENTIRE year. I am furious right now because I KNOW I did NOT pay 35 dollars for an e-card. Seems like a scam website since a lot of people have had this exact problem. DO NOT PUT YOUR CREDIT CARD INFO INTO THIS WEBSITE. I will not take down this review until I get my hard-earned money back! Still waiting for a reply, and no they have NOT attempted to contact me, like it says under their other bad reviews!

I was initially attracted to the website for their colorful and fresh card templates but after subscribing to a membership I saw that this additional fee was unnecessary. Luckily, I was connected with a customer service representative that was calm and thorough. She was able to arrange a refund and cancel my subscription. Hands down, this is the best customer assistance I've received in a long time, especially in a pandemic.

The annual cost for the lowest level membership is $35.88. This level allows only 10 cards per month. (No problem though, the card selection is so poor it would be impossible to find 10 cards to send) After a considerable amount of time finding an acceptable card, the decent customization options offer a bit of hope. Unfortunately, hope is short-lived. The card is finally finished and ready to be scheduled for sending at a later date. But wait, scheduling is only available if the membership is upgraded to the next level. Add another $12. Bottom line, punchbowl.com is a dreadful experience. DO NOT waste money by joining. There are other ecard sites that are far superior at a lower price. Also, be cautious of the signup process. It is extremely misleading!

This site wastes your time then it tries to take your money for a very worthless service! Do not go to their website.
