Complain About Gainful - learn how to file a complaint

Getting in touch with a real person at Gainful can be a challenge. They seem to prefer digital methods, which can feel like you're shouting into the void. Here are the official channels.

Good luck getting a quick reply. Here's what you can probably expect.

• Use a very clear subject line like "Cancellation Request for Account #[Your Number]" or "Incorrect Billing Complaint".
• Include your full name, account number, and the email associated with your Gainful subscription.
• Keep your message short and to the point. State the problem and the exact resolution you want (e.g., "Please cancel my account and refund the charge from May 15th.").

If Gainful ignores your emails or refuses to resolve your issue, it's time to escalate. Don't just give up.

Better Business Bureau (BBB)

Filing a complaint with the BBB creates a public record. Companies, especially those that rely on a good reputation, often respond to these to get them resolved. The process is straightforward and done online, but it's not instant. Prepare to wait a few weeks for a resolution, as Gainful will be given time to respond.

Credit Card Chargeback

If your main issue is being charged incorrectly or after you tried to cancel, contact your credit card company or bank. Explain the situation and tell them you want to file a chargeback for "services not rendered" or "cancelled recurring transaction." You must have tried to resolve it with Gainful first. Banks usually have a 60 to 120 day time limit from when the charge appeared, so don't wait too long.

Subject: Formal Complaint Regarding Account [[Your Account #]] - Final Attempt

To Whom It May Concern,

I am writing again to resolve an issue with my subscription. This is my third attempt to contact you regarding this matter, as my previous emails on [[Date]] have gone unanswered.

On [[Date of Charge]], my account was charged [[$Amount]] despite my request to cancel my subscription on [[Date of Cancellation Attempt]]. Having to spend my time chasing this down has been incredibly frustrating, and frankly, it feels like my cancellation request was ignored.

To resolve this, I require you to process a full refund of [[$Amount]] to my original payment method and provide written confirmation that my subscription has been permanently cancelled.

Please be aware that if I do not receive a satisfactory response and confirmation of my refund within 48 hours, my next step will be to file a chargeback with my credit card company and submit a formal complaint to the Better Business Bureau.

Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter.

Pro Tips for Making Your Complaint Heard

• Take screenshots of everything. Seriously. Screenshot your cancellation request, the confirmation screen (if you get one), and any error messages. You will need this as proof when you escalate.
• Use trigger words in your email subject line. Phrases like "Formal Complaint" or "Chargeback Inquiry" are more likely to get routed to a human who can actually solve a problem.
• Go public. If your emails are ignored, post a polite but firm comment on their most recent Instagram or Facebook post. A user on Reddit mentioned this was the only way they got a response within an hour. Weirdly, it seems to work.
• Request a transcript. If you ever manage to get them on a text chat, always ask for a copy of the conversation to be emailed to you as proof of what was discussed.

Are you tired of sending emails to Gainful's support address and getting nothing but a generic auto-reply? It's a common story on their BBB page.
