Bloomberg Reviews 180

‼️ Attention, never click on anything anywhere on the page, a windy subscription will be taken out straight away. You can only get out of a captive contract after a lot of money and stress ‼️ Even though my email address has been inactive for years, Bloomberg claims to have sent a contract there. The only aim of support is to keep unsuspecting people in the contract.

Deceiving readers…

Stay away from their promotional offers as the price will escalate quickly. They refuse to change their policy and honestly this is deceiving.

Honestly the materials aren’t even worth the price. The customer service department is filled with inexperienced immature recent kids

They automatically renewed my annual subscription. I don't remember that I signed up for Bloomberg News. I got charged $300 and I cancelled the next day. Absolutely 0 refunds, not even a partial refund. Apparently I received an email on October 3 that the renewal was coming up, but I couldn't find it in my inbox. It must've been in my spam folder, and I can't access that email anymore since it has been over 30 days. I understand it is your company policy, but at least have some humanity. I've had a rough last 5 months with my mother's cancer diagnosis starting on June 1. She went through 6 weeks of chemo-radiation and by the time your email came out to my spam folder she was in the hospital for 3 days due to radiation pneumonitis. From October 1-3. I haven't been in the right mindset for a while. I mean when an oncologist considers restaging from stage 3 to 4, I don't think anyone would feel good. Thankfully that wasn't the case. I've just been so busy from closing up our family business and being a caregiver for my mother. We flew halfway across the world together and I had to get my mother an oncologist here. I had to print 600 pages worth of medical records for the oncologist. She literally just restarted taking her cancer pills yesterday after a month of stopping them.

I mean hey I could be in the wrong here. I understand it's your company policy, but even as a business owner myself that doesn't mean you can't let some things slide. Michael Bloomberg has a net worth of 106 billion dollars. Did you really need $300 from a family that's going through a cancer crisis and all the wild emotions that come with that. There are also unforeseen things with cancer too. Family and friendships change. Some become stronger, some become worse. I've lost some long-time friends.

I personally would have issued a refund, but that's just me. Maybe that's the difference between a small business owner and a large organization.

To anyone reading this, I don't think I can recommend this business to anyone, even if they do produce some decent articles.

I logged in to cancel my subscription to bloomberg.com, as I did not wish to renew for 2024-2025. After I chose "cancel my subscription", the window popped up to offer me a subscription for 50% off, $149. I thus entered a credit card to process that subscription. When I check my credit card, it shows that I was billed $299! I will now need to waste time trying to obtain a refund for that fraudulent charge.

Fake news and stories to manipulate the market

Bloomberg News reported on Tuesday the Justice Department had sent a subpoena related to a potential antitrust investigation, which would signal an escalation in the probe. Bloomberg News said subpoenas had been sent to other companies in addition to Nvidia.

Not only is their daily news letter written by someone or people who are clearly illiterate and nobody proof reads it.

It contains so much Left wing propaganda it's a joke

Occasionally there is a snippet of useful information but otherwise I would be embarrassed to create and distribute this drivel

Bloomberg is so lacking compared to CNBC. Bloomberg makes finances BORING and theoretical. Tom Keene talks with this high brow condescending mindset as though his financial education has placed him above it all and speaking to the average investor is Such a step down. Nothing worth listening to at all. Adds Nothing to your ability to participate in the stockmarket. And, worst of all ADVERTISEMENTS compose a HUGE part of their content-SO SO many ads...

I signed up for the subscription service over a year ago. I found useful information with many tools. I always felt the Bloomberg was unbiased and financially centered. However, in the last year or so they have decided to or have been ordered to switch to state run media with how political they have become. This is even more obvious in all of their television and radio broadcasts. They no longer seem to be about business and finance. They are now a card carrying progressive left operative. Yes, even in finance journalism is dead now. This is sad. It seems like we cannot find truly neutral financial news anymore. The major outlet of authority in business and financial news has now taken sides. I would bet their viewership, listenership, and subscriptions are down since half of their listeners, viewers and subscribers were conservative. Sure they’re picking up more progressive left types, but I doubt that they’re making up for the losses. Just another nail in the coffin.

The worst customer service of any company!

The systems are useless and not fit for purpose, utterly archaic and overly complex.

Zero support would be nice from these lot but the 'support' provided is by incompetent, often pushy and aggressive, problem makers rather than solvers.

Some very minute glimmers of actual care from a handful but mostly a rubbish experience throughout!

Ps. Their account managers are the worst!

Don't even bother with this one.
This site is the biggest rubish i have ever seen. They will direct you to their sites looking like it has some value but when you actually land there and find out that they let you read only like two rows of news without `` free subscription `` that eventually turns in to horrible bother as they send you three emails every day asking if you may not want to pay tiny bit of money and get reports etc. this practice is unacceptable and i will not support that in any shape and form.

Signed up for 1 year subscription. Found out same day Bloomberg doesn’t offer ability to send alerts on funds. Cancelled within hours. Bloomberg offered no kind of refund. Stuck with year subscription I will never use. Their customer service is really bad.

WORKING AND DOING FINISHING EARLY

This company does not respect its customers. I unfortunately made an accidental online subscription purchase of 12 months rather than a feature article access purchase. I am out of pocket €185. When requesting a refund they did not allow for this and referred to their no refund policy. Bad customer service.

Don't let the glitz fool you. Bloomberg is more interested in your wallet than your success. It might as well be the poster child for greed. When I tried to cancel my subscription, their customer service treated me like a pariah, as if my value evaporated with my payments. Talk about terrible customer service.
Bloomberg isn't the financial oracle it pretends to be; it's just a pricey facade. Save your money and seek out more reasonably priced alternatives.

UPDATE: Bloomberg did end up refunding after this review and a review on Bloomberg was published.

Would leave 0 stars if I could. Predatory subscription practices.

I was unable to access my account due to a product issue with their sign-on. My subscription renewed even though I was trying to cancel as I haven't used it as much as expected.

Called customer service on the day of renewal but they don't provide weekend support.

Called again Monday and was told that I would have had to call the day of renewal, even though they don't have support on the weekends.

As much as I want to support journalism, predatory subscription practices are just a no go. Have better service than someone repeating on the phone "its in our terms of service, it's in our terms of service, it's in our terms of service"

I rarely trust press, but bloomberg is the best option if you are fond of reading economic news. The articles they have are written by experts, meaning that you will stay abreast in any case.

Besides, the subscription I have issued back in the day isn't very high. It's quite cheap, so if you want to engulf quality economic content and stay aware of everything happening in the world, then apply for them.

Fraud service. Charged me 34.99 unexpectedly, refused to refund. Reported them in my bank.

After paying for Business Week magazine subscription renew, you have to remember ask for your invoice. It will non arrive automatically, as all others publishers do.

After subscribing for a year, a new fee was assessed for another year without notice. I immediately contacted Bloomberg within 24 hours of that charge to cancel and get a refund. They responded effectively "tough s h i t" we got your money. NO REFUND.
Really? They behave like a hack scammer with no way to opt out of the renewal. If their service is so great, people would gladly renew. I find it of little value
Now I have to fight them through the credit card company.
