Complain About Hulu - learn how to file a complaint

Best ways to complain to Hulu

Navigating Hulu's support can feel like a maze. Here’s a direct path to getting in touch with them.

Immediate to 30 minutes, but honestly, it often feels longer.

Tired of waiting? Here are a few tricks to get to the front of the line.

• Call during off-peak hours. Try calling mid-week, either right when they open (6 AM PT) or later in the evening.
• Use the live chat. It's often faster than waiting on hold, especially for straightforward problems.
• Have your info ready. Before you contact them, have your account email, the last four digits of your credit card, and any relevant screenshots ready to go.

If Hulu support gives you the runaround or just stops responding, it's time to escalate. Your first step should always be asking for a supervisor on the phone or chat. If that fails, you have other options.

Your best bet for external escalation in the US is the Better Business Bureau (BBB). You can file a complaint on their website (BBB.org). It's a formal process, and Hulu has a pretty consistent record of responding to BBB complaints, even if it's just to state their side. The BBB works, but prepare to wait. It can take a few weeks to get a resolution. Remember, regulatory bodies usually require you to prove you tried to resolve the issue with the company first, so keep a record of your calls or chats, including dates and reference numbers.

Subject: Urgent: Unresolved Issue with Account [[Your Account Email]]

Hi there,

I'm writing again to resolve an issue with my account. This is my third time contacting you about this, and frankly, my patience is wearing thin. My previous reference number was [[Your Ticket/Reference #, if you have one]].

On [[Date]], I was charged [[$Amount]] for my subscription, but I experienced [[Briefly describe the problem, e.g., a service outage during a major event, incorrect billing, features not working]]. Having to spend my time chasing this down has been incredibly frustrating, especially given the monthly price I pay.

To resolve this, I need you to issue a credit of [[$Amount]] to my account for the service disruption and confirm that the underlying technical issue has been fixed. I have attached a screenshot of the error message for your reference.

If I don't receive a satisfactory response and confirmation of the credit within 48 hours, my next step will be to file a formal complaint with the Better Business Bureau. I hope we can resolve this here.

Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter.

Here are a few extra tips that users have shared online.

• Ask for a supervisor immediately. If the first-level support agent is reading from a script and not helping, politely but firmly ask to speak with their manager or a supervisor.
• Request a reference number. At the end of every call or chat, ask for a ticket or reference number. This creates a paper trail and holds them accountable.
• Go public. One user on Reddit mentioned they only got a refund after they posted their complaint and ticket number on X, tagging @hulu_support. It shouldn't have to come to that, but it often works.
• Mention the competition. Casually mentioning that you're considering switching to YouTube TV or another competitor can sometimes unlock a retention offer or a more helpful agent.
