I subscribed to a 30day money back guarantee. I I was not satisfied with the service. I really don't have a major complaint on their service, it's just not what I was looking for. In the first week I requested a cancellation through their chat service and through through their email service and they will NOT response to my request nor credit my account. I am having to get my credit card service to contest a refund. I have saved all my emails to substantiate my claim. so, if you anticipate you want a refund I would not recommend this company.

Ultimately these kind of services can only be assessed once you have used it for a while. This service is not cheap and frankly has not given me payback on the money I have paid which is what you would expect. I will not renew and would not recommend the service to anyone seeking to improve their return. The website is poor and chatroom is old fashioned and behind the times. I use other services that provide me a superior service at substantially lower cost.

This company is the worst. They promise one thing and then don’t deliver. Then they try to bump you to a higher costing program. Customer service is virtually nonexistent leading to a very frustrating experience when a problem inevitably arises. Much better companies out there. I made the mistake of signing up. Benefit from my mistake and put your hard earned money with a company that stands by their product and delivers what they promised.

Benzinga.com is running what amounts to a bait-and-switch racket cloaked in financial jargon and false promises of wealth. I was lured in by their slick YouTube content and sales webinars, where so-called "experts" like Matt Maley, Nic Chahine, and Chris Capre hyped up fairy-tale trade returns of 100% to 2500%, with alleged win rates of 65% to 85%. They implied you could turn $250 trades into $9,500 in a year—all while flashing charts and using deceptive urgency tactics that would make used car salesmen blush. Hook, line, and sinker—I subscribed to what I was told was a $79/year options education program that included trade ideas. What I actually got was a broken, half-assed, glorified PowerPoint course with less educational value than a 10-minute free YouTube video. It was disorganized, directionless, and clearly designed to funnel users into higher-ticket upsells rather than teach anything useful. The moment I signed up, I was immediately ambushed with an “exclusive” $399 upsell for some other "incredible" service—one that turned out to be locked behind yet another paywall. To actually get the trades I was promised, I was told to pay another $29–$49/month, per service. When I realized I’d been conned, I reached out to their support via chat, phone, and email to request a refund under their so-called ‘money-back guarantee’—only to discover that this, too, was a lie. They don’t give refunds. What they offer instead is "credit" toward more of their worthless garbage. It's like asking for a refund at a restaurant after food poisoning, and being told you can only get more spoiled food. So I tried to salvage my loss by switching to a different service they offered. Big mistake. Their tech platform is comically broken, with non-functional tools, constant glitches, and system crashes—problems they've admitted were due to known hardware and software failures. They knowingly allowed paying customers to rely on a faulty trading system, all while ignoring support requests for months, only responding when threatened with complaints to the BBB and FTC. But the most outrageous part? Following their advice has cost me over $10,000 since March. Their trade alerts are pure garbage—low-quality, lagging, poorly timed, and often completely wrong. I've lost money not just because the trades were bad, but because their broken system wouldn’t even execute orders properly at times. They knew about these technical issues for over a month, yet continued charging subscribers full price with no transparency, no apology, and no accountability. After researching, I discovered I am far from alone. There are dozens—if not hundreds—of similar horror stories online. People losing thousands in subscription fees, then tens of thousands more following Benzinga's reckless trade ideas. It’s a predatory system designed not to educate or enrich the customer—but to bleed them dry, then sell them another course to "fix" the damage. Let me be crystal clear: Benzinga.com is running a scam. They are engaging in deceptive advertising, fraudulent upselling, and negligent service delivery. They are causing real financial harm to real people. This company should be heavily fined, investigated for fraud, and ideally shut down permanently. Every dime they've stolen from hard-working consumers through deception and dysfunction should be refunded in full, with damages. If you’re reading this and thinking about giving them a dollar—don’t. You’d be better off lighting your money on fire.

I bought a subscription from these guys, and I realized almost immediately that I had been duped by the hype about how great their product was. I filled out their cancelation form with a week per their policy and immediately received a huge number of emails ignoring my request and pressuring me trade up my subscription and send them more money. They obviously think we are all fools. Do yourself a favor. Avoid these people and save your money.

(edit: May 2025, Benzinga changed the terms by removing access to Nic's live room. I would advise against trusting Benzinga and I'm changing my review.) Joining was the best investment I've ever made. Rodrigo got me a lifetime subscription with Nic. I'm full-time now, recovered all of my losses, and am beating the SPX by 2x. I feel lucky just to have found Nic.

I paid the $1997 for Matt Maley's inner circle in January and it has been a huge disappointment. The stock picks are few and far between (not as many as advertised) and they have a terrible success rate, 4 our of last 5 were busts. I can go back and back test all his picks to January and they are bad, very bad. There are only a handful of active people on the chat and they are all much better than Matt. Super disappointed I wasted 2K.

Benzinga is a shady company who posts misinformation in order to persuade Retail investors to Buy or Sell stocks that follows their personal profitable agenda. Truly cannot believe they are still considered a creditable news source for stock news.
