Claim Compensation from Constant Contact | Get Reimbursed 2025

Getting your ducks in a row before you contact them makes it much harder for them to say no. Don't give them an easy out.

• Gather Your Account Details: Have your username, account number, and the email address associated with the account ready.
• Document Everything: Take screenshots of billing errors, service outage notifications, or failed campaign reports. Note the exact dates and times the issues occurred. If you're claiming a financial loss, have the numbers ready to show the impact.
• Find Your Proof: Pull up past bills, email communications, and any chat transcripts. The more evidence you have, the stronger your case. A paper trail is your best friend.
• Know What You Want: Decide on a fair compensation amount before you call. Are you asking for a one-month service credit? A partial refund for the days the service was down? Be specific. State your desired outcome clearly.
• Reference Their Own Terms: Briefly check Constant Contact's Terms of Service. Sometimes, their own policies on service uptime or billing can be used to support your claim.

In the US, your rights for compensation from a SaaS (Software as a Service) provider like Constant Contact are primarily defined by the contract you agreed to, their Terms of Service (ToS), not by specific federal laws like those for airlines or telecoms.

• Terms of Service is Key: Your eligibility for a refund or credit is almost always outlined in their ToS. Look for sections on 'Uptime,' 'Service Level Agreement' (SLA), or 'Billing'. Often, they promise a certain percentage of service uptime (e.g., 99.9%) and may offer service credits if they fail to meet it.
• Types of Compensation: Don't expect a cash payout. Compensation is typically offered as a pro-rated service credit for the period the service was unavailable or a refund for a specific billing error. For major issues, you might negotiate a full month's credit as a goodwill gesture.
• Regulators: If you believe Constant Contact is engaging in deceptive billing or unfair practices, your main escalation points are the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and your state's Attorney General. They don't handle individual disputes but can take action against companies with a pattern of complaints.

Subject: Compensation Request for Service Failure - Account [Your Account Number]

Dear Constant Contact Billing Department,

I am writing to request compensation for a critical service failure on my account, [Your Username/Account Number].

On [Date(s) of Incident], your platform experienced an outage that directly impacted my business operations. Specifically, [Clearly and briefly describe the issue - e.g., 'our scheduled email campaign to 15,000 subscribers failed to send,' or 'we were unable to access our account for 8 hours during peak business time.'].

This service disruption resulted in [Describe the impact - e.g., 'an estimated loss of $XXX in sales,' or 'a significant delay in a time-sensitive announcement.']. As per our agreement, I expect a reliable service, and this failure did not meet that standard.

I have attached a screenshot of the error message for your reference.

Given the severity of this issue and its financial impact, I request a service credit equivalent to one full month of my plan, which is $[Your Monthly Plan Cost], to be applied to my next billing cycle.

I look forward to your prompt resolution of this matter within 5 business days.

Sincerely,

[Your Name] [Your Phone Number]

If your initial request is shut down, don't give up. The first 'no' is often just a script. Here’s how to push back.

• Ask for a Supervisor: The first-line agent may not have the authority to issue credits or refunds. Politely but firmly ask to speak with a manager or a member of the retention team. They often have more power to resolve disputes.
• Initiate a Credit Card Chargeback: This is a powerful tool, especially for unauthorized charges or services not rendered. Contact your credit card company and explain the situation. Provide the documentation you gathered. This often gets a company's attention fast.
• File a Complaint with the BBB: While the Better Business Bureau isn't a regulatory body, companies often respond to BBB complaints to protect their rating. Detail your issue and the resolution you're seeking on the BBB website.
• Make Noise on Social Media: A public post on X (formerly Twitter) or Facebook detailing your experience can sometimes get a faster response from a social media support team eager to resolve issues publicly. Tag @ConstantContact directly.
