Complain About Discovery Plus - File a Complaint Today

I can't believe how buggy the Discovery Plus app still is, especially after the whole messy merger with Max. It's not just a feeling, either. Their parent company, Warner Bros. Discovery, has an 'F' rating from the Better Business Bureau, with a staggering 1,900 complaints filed in the last three years alone. On Trustpilot, it's even worse, with a 1.3-star rating from thousands of reviews. The most common complaints flagged are about incorrect billing amounts and terrible technical support. It's beyond frustrating when you just want to watch a show and end up fighting with their system. If you're at your wit's end, you're not alone. Official site: Visit Discovery Plus

🔍 Tips to Get a Quicker Response from a Complaint

  • Call during off-peak hours (like mid-morning on a weekday).
  • Use their online chat instead of the phone for a faster first response.
  • Have your account number, email, and billing information ready before you contact them.
  • Be super clear and concise in your first message. Don't write a novel.

How to Escalate Your Complaint

If Discovery Plus is giving you the silent treatment, it's time to escalate. Your best bet is filing a complaint with the Better Business Bureau (BBB). The BBB acts as a mediator and will forward your complaint to a corporate contact at Warner Bros. Discovery. Companies usually respond to these to protect their rating. The BBB process works, but prepare to wait. It can take a few weeks to get a resolution.

Just remember, regulatory bodies like the BBB often require that you try to resolve the issue directly with the company first, so make sure you have a record of your previous attempts, like a chat transcript or a support ticket number.

Email Template to Complain to Discovery Plus

Subject: Formal Complaint: Unresolved Billing Issue on Account [[Account #]]

To Whom It May Concern,

I am writing again to resolve an issue with my account. My previous attempt to fix this on [[Date]] through your online chat support was unsuccessful.

On [[Date of charge]], my account was incorrectly charged [[$Amount]]. I had already taken steps to change my plan, so this charge is an error. Frankly, having to track this down and spend my time chasing a resolution has been incredibly frustrating.

To resolve this, I require a full refund of [[$Amount]] to be processed immediately. I also need written confirmation that the issue has been corrected and will not happen again.

Please be aware that if this is not resolved within 48 hours, my next step will be to file a formal complaint with the Better Business Bureau and initiate a chargeback with my credit card company for the incorrect charge.

Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter.

Additional Helpful Tips to get Your Complaint Resolved

  • Ask for a supervisor immediately. If the first support agent is clearly reading from a script or can't help, politely ask to be escalated. Don't waste your time.
  • Use a clear subject line. For emails or support forms, use something like "Incorrect Billing Complaint - Acct #[Your Account Number]" to get routed correctly.
  • Always get a reference number. Whether it's a phone call or chat, ask for a ticket or reference number. It's your proof.
  • Take it public. I saw a tip on Reddit that actually works. Post your ticket number on their X (Twitter) support page (@Dplus_Care) and ask for an update. They often escalate issues that are visible to the public.
