Verified Reviewer |Billing
This subscription was cancelled January 3, 2025–yet they still took money on March 8, 2025
As of today, March14, 2025, Starz has not followed up and I have not received a refund. I will NEVER be a Starz customer again. I don’t know if their policy is to wait a certain number of days before it’s issued, but I don’t care because MY policy is not to have money taken out of an account after I have canceled the subscription.
I tried to take care of it on chat a couple of days ago. No one ever answered the chat. So I waited until today and called at 10:19 a.m. The message said the wait time was 20 minutes.
At 11:43 a.m. I still hadnt received a call back, so I called again. After quite a wait, someone finally answered-and of course we had to play 20 questionseven more irritating. Even though it was THEIR mistake, and they did acknowledge that I didnt have an active account, and they also acknowledged that I, in fact, had been billed and they have my money.
THEN I got an email that said that it was under review and they dont usually do refunds. The ONLY remedy for this is a refund. It wasnt MY mistake, it was THEIRS.
So now I am waiting to hearby email, mind youwhether or not I get a refund because it is under review. I want my money back because 1) I dont have an active account even though they took the money for it, 2) because it IS MY money, 3) because they offered no remedy, 4) because they said they dont do refunds, 5) because it is NOT up to them how MY money gets spent, 6) because I shouldnt have to correct mistakes that are NOT mine, and 7) because I should not have had to spend this much time trying to get THEIR mistake resolved.
- Stole my money and have not returned it
Preferred solution: Full refund
User's recommendation: Don’t do it, unless of course, you like paying and fixing the mistakes or others!

No, they billed me although I have no subscription. There's their chat and no one responded.
I called and was told the wait time was 20 minutes, so I opted for a callback. Never got a callback for an hour and twenty minutes so I called back and waited on the phone. I was told they don't do refunds. I was told it was under review.
No remedy was offered even though a refund is the only acceptable remedy. Now, I am waiting to see if I can get my own money back.
- Poor customer service
- No recourse
- No acknowledgement of their error

Verified Buyer |Horrifying treatment, multiple charges.
Signed up for Starz on a promotion, they billed me a full year and promotion price. 3weeks later, multiple calls and emails they denied it until I finally had bank send proof.
Then they refunded the original error, kept money for my new year subscription, canceled it and told me he was doing me the favor because "they don't do refunds". So they stole the money, hid it, then still canceled the subscription I actually paid for.
User's recommendation: Never. This isn't even 1st time they've done this.

It says too many devices are being used at this time and I havent even had the opportunity to use it at all and not only that it charged me twice For the services which I have not used and what is on there says Kayla or kids which is clearly not myself so Im not sure how that got on there

Verified ReviewerMy email doesn’t supposedly exist when I signed up I used it
Do Not Subscribe. Impossible to make contact. 1000% Automated
No help at all. I bought the $3 a month option for three months.
I clicked on it and it was a deal for half a year for $17.99, so I clicked on it and paid for it. However, when I tried to get on my STARZ app, it said my email did not exist, so I can't stream it onto my TV. It's not on my iPhone or my iPad.
I paid the money and I can't talk to a representative. I've tried for hours and hours today, so I don't know how this works.
- Impossible to get on
Preferred solution: Full refund
User's recommendation: Don’t buy Starz

This was finally resolved with a refund for both months. I couldn’t get back in to edit the review.
But I will still never be a Starz customer again. This should never have happened
