eHarmony free weekend is a joke

WHY is eharmony allowed to advertise that communication is FREE when in fact you can't contact your matches you MUST sign up Please explain HOW this is allowed? they are falsely advertising..... and the forms must be filled out (endless process) before you know how this works, what a waste of time!!!
don't waste your time on this site after this i saw other people's complaints and would not want to invest my money here there are some free sites all the time but of course then then choice of matches is limited but at least it would be free

Eharmony free weekend. Free comunnication is a scam!
Just ***. Nice way to send potential new members running elsewhere.
Wtf is wrong with them at eharmony. Do they think misleading is a good promo?
*** on them. I won't ever. Not ever join. Even if it was totally free.
Communication weekends sending pre selected messages and no profile pics?
Ehat mint *** left nutt sac. Yea I have 2 sacs just for them
Things may have changed since the last time I was an eHarmony member, but their Free Communication Weekend promotions ARE a scam. Here's how they work:
FCW only allows what eHarmony calls "Guided Communication".
Instead of allowing you to write your own message, both you and whichever member you contact are required to complete a series of multiple-choice questions. By the time both of you complete the Guided Communication process, the weekend will be over and you will be forced to pay for a membership in order to send a regular message. eHarmony does provide the option to bypass the entire Guided Communication process. It's called "Fast-Track", and is only available to paying members.
In conclusion, eHarmony's FCW makes it impossible to send a regular message to another member without having to pay for a membership.
This is false advertising, and eHarmony should be held accountable. I suggest everyone who has endured eHarmony's so-called "Free Communication Weekend" to give Neil Clark Warren the middle finger by filing a complaint with the Better Business Bureau.
Yeah Its a scam all right. Dont be fooled.
Are you kidding me people? POF is full of criminals, *** drug-addicts, and crazies.
I here you there. I got some stories Id tell about the last one I met on POF Not sure Id go back there either.
Stick to old fashioned methods: friends, family, church, or work or school.
Couldnt be any worse than the ones Ive met through these sites. OR the good ones are hundreds of miles away.
You can create a profile with pictures but you can only see profiles without pictures. So it's like a blind date lol
It's very misleading.
My time is precious, it has been wasted being I jumped through their endless hoops, even gave them permission to use information from Facebook. How can one retract this permission.
They didn't deliver. There is no communication allowed between potential mates. Further to this, you can not view any profiles. So bottom line, a free site like POF, Plenty of Fish has much more going for it.
No way I'm giving EHarmony one sent or another minute of time.
There hook is a lie.
RUN... Don't waste your energy.
try plentyoffish.com or.other free.dating sights.
The Free Communication Weekend does allow you to communicate with your matches for free. Once you have successfully sent communication to your matches, you will be prompted to the subscription page; however, at the top of the page you will see a message that indicates your questions have been successfully sent to your matches. Only after the Free Communication Weekend will you need to subscribe to continue communication.
EH Advertising indicates communication is free but only sending Questions/Answers is free. Sending EH email is really the only way to communicate and THAT IS NOT FREE so I guess EH is saying they don't see email as a form of communication.
I agree with the original comment. After going through a seemingly endless q&a, you are shown your "matches" no pictures and virtually no information and an onslaught of subliminal and other not so subtle encouragements to sign up and pay.
All with the underlying promise of getting more.
If you really want to get people excited about your product, then really open it up for a weekend.
TREAT those people just like paying members. If your site is even half as good as you claim, then people would be clamoring to sign up afterwards.
As it sits, you just appear to be a snake oil salesman trying to squirrel people out of their money.
