Lifetime sub to Weiss
I bought a lifetime sub to Weiss ~10 years ago. They sold it off to Banyan Hill, and now I cannot access Safe Money Report, the original reason for subscribing. Worse, I sub'ed to Weiss Crypto Investor and Ratings, but I can only access one of them.
Customer service is a stiff-arm operation.
Paid a lot of money
I paid a lot of money $1,197 for 5 years of E-Wave trader in may 2017. had a blazing row on the phone with them as they were trying to sell me the same service with a new name. They were only interested in selling me more rubbish services. I was paying them to lose me money! Now they have transferred my account to Banyan Hill.
Not impressed by them either.
Still waiting for my refund
I cancelled my subscription one week after ordering, and as of yet have not received my refund as promised in their solicitation. You cannot call them directly, you leave a message with an answering service, who then supposedly passes the message onto someone who will call. However, they never do.
I am still waiting for my refund.
Very poor service.
Just send a copy of your cancellation email to your credit card / bank charge dispute contact (on their transactions dispute form) snd they will reverse the charge on your card ... done!
Professional con men
These guys are SHYSTERS. Email indicated a charge of $59 but card billed a $129. Called the 877-934-7778 co called customer service number got an "overflow operator" who could not execute a refund or cancellation. Their website is blank does not provide links to cancel subscription or to get refund.
These are professional con men.
Scam. I was fighting with my husband because of his ugly newsletter. Beggar
Scam
Scam, do not join this i have been trying to cancel for a year they are again trying to
charge my Credit card i just called again and was promised a conformation of cancellation, did not receive one.
Now i have to dispute with Credit card company and cancel credit card to stop them
there news letter is not worth what they say and service is frustrating.
To all;
Most reputable banks these days have a transaction dispute form which you complete (not difficult) and send on the bank online banking site.
Just send a copy of your cancellation email to your credit card / bank charge dispute contact (on their transactions dispute form) snd they will reverse the charge on your card ... done!
I've used Weiss Investment services for several years. The only service I would recommend is Safe Money Report. It has a very low cost, about $60/year, and provides excellent information about global economic developments. The investment recommendations have been decent.
I would avoid the more costly investment services. I have used three of them and the recommendations haven't been any better, or have been worse, than the recommendations from Safe Money Report. I would have had better results if I had just invested in the S&P 500.
When Larry passed away, the exclusivity into the Edelson Institute with all it's benefits seemed to be the highest priority. Later only to be passed on sold, given, or whatever by Martin Weiss, ie. Weiss Publications, to Banyan Hill Publishing. What a fiasco for the subscriber. (me). I have shared numerous similar thoughts back to Weiss Publications, and Banyan Hill. Customer Service is among the worst. One of the worst experiences ever with their so called experts..... I came onboard in 2016 and got drawn into the WUP. The promotion of the experts is way overstated and does in fact work on ones emotions. Not as truthful as presented. The end result, is to take it with a grain of salt, flip a coin, do your own research and don't bet the farm on anyone.
Spent 9600 usd on various services from Weiss. Cumulative loss after a year on all portfolios is 39%.
Not worth paying them anything!
Don't waste your Time ... paid $3000.00 for crypto investment advise on the promise of big profits, never happened, two years later down $2500.00. Offered an extra year of free advice...wonderful. Weiss foghorns about their rating system, and the side movement in crypto week after week as to why no movement in investment, had I followed my own instinct I would be up 300% and no fee. Always pitching huge profits on their advise, I suggest you ask for a guarantee, ( pretty sure that won't happen). I did contact Weiss with my concerns, hoping to speak to an crypto expert, .....guess what? I was advised to send an email to their general mail system.

They make their money on subscriptions based on 'Fantasy and Fear'.
Stay away Stay away Stay away.
It is a pity that the Financial Regulators don't fine them plenty for published material that is at best mis leading and at worst fraudulent. These schemes hurt the ordinary folk.
Buyer beware!
I checked my credit card account this morning (5/11/19). There was a credit from Weiss Group for $198 to back out the original $198 debit. I didn't expect the problem to be resolved this quickly, so thank you VISA. I doubt I would ever have gotten it resolved on my own. I learned a valuable lesson and it only cost me $29. I will be more careful in the future.
I unfortunately subscribed to The Power Elite in Dec of 2018, with the assurance that I
could cancel anytime in the first year for a full refund. Unhappy with their results, I
cancelled my subscription in Nov of 2018. I had many conversations over the ensuing
months with “Eva” (probably not her real name – criminals don’t usually use their
real names).
At first the excuse was they were switching to a new computer program and were having
to do the refunds manually. When I talked to her in February she told me that it might
take “one or two monthly billing cycles” before I would get my refund.
When I talked to her yesterday she claimed I had cancelled in January and wasn’t
entitled to a refund. Weiss seems to be a criminal enterprise. I’m fortunate that
they only took me for $29.
I invested in the ultimatum portfolio in 2015 and followed recommendations, but positive results didn’t show un same for the stock underground 10$
their advice is poor compared to other organizations offering similar services.
Personally, steve, you sound like a someone I'd hate to run into.
Steve, Nail on the head. The exact same thing in my case. I paid Weiss group $500.00 for a lifetime subscription, Safe Money Report, got the report for a few years, then got screwed out of it. And just like you got only pure BS and a snow job by cust svc. I have lost all faith in the Weiss Group, wont do business with them EVER again, and neither should anyone else. Ditto for Banyan Hill.
ive followed Weiss for20yrs and any service I got from them was terrible , a complete waste of money and TIME..................and another thing when a company like weisss keeps saying the sky will fall the sky will fall wellllllllll eventually the sky will fall but those wasted yrs listening to their negativism and their b.s. will cost anyone who listens I am so glad I used their service and did the exact opposite
