I do not find him credible
May 26, 2020

This guy was recommending shorting Amazon back in the early 2000's. No barrier to entry, and up starts would crush Amazon. Good call ..... People were paying 5-7K for his advice. You may find him credible,

I do not.

Impossible to talk to customer service
May 25, 2020
I have only been involved with Weiss Rating for a short time but it is virtually impossible to talk to customer service. My calls were not answered & I was forced to listen to "elevator" music for 10 minutes. Customer service is very important to me so I will be canceling my subscription (hopefully) by email.

As phony as a $4 dollar bill
May 19, 2020
As phony as a $4 dollar bill...their so called investment analysts are people who failed in other endeavors..one for instance ran a real estate agency into the ground when that business was booming..got a 1 yr subscription as a gift...very surprised they are still around

Thanks for the 411!

Subscribed to their Weekend Windfalls
March 2, 2020

I subscribed to their Weekend Windfalls, but when I try to sign into their website, I'm taken to a page that says, "You must be a subscriber."

I contacted customer support and was told that they had no issues accessing the site, which didn't do me any good at all. I am also supposed to get email alerts from them, but about half of those emails didn't arrive.

Customer support told me that I not only got the emails, but opened them, which I did not. Instead of trying to help me solve an issue to a service that I am paying for, they did everything they could to push me aside so they could get on to more pressing issues than taking care of their customers. In fact, it felt like they were taking pleasure in making this entire thing difficult.

Bottom line is that their customer support is abysmal. You are a problem they would like to just go away.

I also got scammed
January 30, 2020

I also got scammed by believing Weiss. I am another who bought & paid for "lifetime" subscriptions to newsletters from four of their writers. I paid the large upfront fee because I wanted to follow those particular analyst/writers.

But after a few years they transferred my subscriptions to newsletters from Banyan Hill. I had no choice in this, and find very little value in the simplistic Banyan Hill subscriptions. It's not like Weiss sold out or lost their analysts... who still write the same basic newsletters at Weiss.

Initially upon cancelling my subscriptions Weiss told me I would be given lifetime access to Weiss Ratings site. This lasted a while, but every several times I tried to log on I would have to call customer service to get it turned back on. Now they refuse unless I pay for a subscription.

This is less about the value of any subscriptions and more about basic honesty. Dr. Weiss and his people are clearly not interested in keeping their word or promises. Proven scammers.

Lifetime sub to Weiss
January 1, 2020

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.

Personally, steve, you sound like a someone I'd hate to run into.

Phil January 21, 2020

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.

Hawk5000 January 30, 2020

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

Paid a lot of money
December 28, 2019

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
December 16, 2019

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.

James October 30, 2021

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
December 3, 2019

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
November 4, 2019

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.

James October 30, 2021

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!

The Weiss refund policy on their main website is not the same policy hidden in the terms and conditions when you place an order. This is a misleading way to have the consumer believe that the purchase is refundable for the unused portion of the subscription when in fact you do not get a refund for the first year. The first year is not refundable and this is hidden on purpose in complete contradiction with the refund policy on their main website landing page. In my opinion, this practice borders on being very close to; CONSUMER FRAUD.

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.

terrible customer service

July 30, 2019
They keep posting misleading and false information on cryptocurrencies, none of which are based on any technical understanding. They plagiarized multiple reviews and have been caught in the act.

Phil I September 30, 2019

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.

Reviews written by people with 0 technical knowledge or background based on their opinions. Garbage. DO NOT USE.

July 11, 2019

Spent 9600 usd on various services from Weiss. Cumulative loss after a year on all portfolios is 39%.

Not worth paying them anything!

June 21, 2019

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.

I had a similar experience. I was charged what I expected to pay. but then was charged $249. When I called the phone number on my charge statement, I was told that they didn't know exactly why I was charged this amount and they would look into it. Surprisingly, I never got a phone call or message from them. I called my charge card provider and put in a dispute claim. Hopefully, Discover can get results.

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 have had the same problems as most of the other individuals have reported in their reviews. I subscribed to the Wealth Supercycle newsletter on 2/7/19 and the receipt said it would expire on 2/7/20. I wasn't particularly impressed with their information, but figured for $29 I would just let the subscription expire and not renew and be done with them. Yesterday (5/9/19) I got a charge on my credit card by the Weiss Group for $198. After that I decided to read the reviews from other people concerning the Weiss Group. After reading them I figured I was in for a hassle to get the $198 refunded. I called the Weiss Group telephone number and when I mentioned the $198 charge the woman said "Just a moment" and put me on hold. I finally gave up waiting and contacted my credit card company to dispute the $198 charge. I will see if they can get my $198 refunded. I won't ever subscribe to anything like this again without first checking the reviews for a company before subscribing, which I should have done this time. I have about decided that most financial newsletters are scams. If the people that run the newsletter are that good at picking stocks they could make more money investing than operating a newsletter.

Wayne B May 11, 2019

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.
