I recently had an outstanding experience with Blinkist’s customer support. I accidentally let my Premium subscription renew during a time when I’m facing some personal financial challenges. I reached out explaining the situation, and Talida was incredibly empathetic and helpful. She processed a full refund without any penalties and even provided a discount code for when I’m back on my feet. It’s rare to find a company that values people over profit. I’ll definitely be returning to Blinkist in the future!

Blinkist is a great app for learning in short bursts. It summarizes key ideas from popular non-fiction books into quick reads or listens that you can finish in about 15 minutes. The summaries are clear and well structured, making it perfect for busy people who want to keep learning without committing to full books. It is also useful for discovering new titles and deciding which books are worth reading in full.

Their customer service is also excellent. They are very responsive, helpful, and quick to assist whenever you need help.

I wanted to cancel my renewal

I wanted to cancel my renewal, but I missed the deadline. Marianne was great. She offered to refund my payment, along with two other options to continue for a year. I chose one of those, and she already sent the refund. She also coded my account so it won't automatically renew next year.
