Totaler Scam! Belasten die Kreditkarte bei Verifizierung ohne über die entstehenden Kosten zu informieren. Das ist kriminell.

Occhio! Da evitare! Addebitano senza avvisare chiaramente, scritto molto piccolo. Per quanto mi riguarda, da evitare e sconsiglierò a tutti di usarlo. Mi sembra il giusto prezzo per il loro atteggiamento ;)

Couchsurfing.com scams people. I only signed up for a one time contribution of NoK 22.00 (a little over two US$) but couchsurfing.com has taken NoK 690.00 (about US$ 65.00!) I demanded a refund and said I was willing to donate once NoK 22,00 but not 'support' them monthly much less let them steal from me for a 'verification.' Couchsurfing.com replied a trite 'no refunds' policy which is their way to support their scam. I will contact the FBI because BBB and Consumer Protection do not deal with scammers. Much less international/global scammers. Please, readers, contact the FBI with your own experience of being scammed by couchsurfing.com! Let's teach those scammers a lesson!!

Wow, this place rips you off! And doesn’t even care! I signed up for only 1 month to just see what it’s about and a screen popped up to get verified. It asked me for my credit card which I had just thought I paid the 2.99 for the one month to be verified and it magically charged me $60! And no refunds! I had NO idea it was going to charge me for lifeline member something, I never agreed to. It just did it automatically without my authorization. When reaching out to the company they said we have a no refund policy. Well don’t be so sneaky trying to get my info! I’ll never use them at all! And never recommend them. I was only on for 10 min. Forget it. It’s not worth it. Either way their customer service is terrible. They could have made more $ if they were honest and realized their websites mistake. No, they have to steal money from someone taking care of a stage 4 cancer patient instead. They should be more understanding, then they would get better reviews. Most places wanting to verify you by putting in a credit card don’t charge the card. They just use it for verification! Your site didn’t ask if I wanted to donate money to the organization. It just asked me to enter a few things to get verified. Beware everyone!! They won’t even look at the situation and help you. They look the other way and don’t care about anyone else!!!

They show you a 'verification' paywall and then charge you $56 without a warning.

Very deceptive verification process, it will cost you money. Don't do it!

Couchsurfing was the best website that had ever happened to me. Lifechanging experience, friends, hookups, travels, even 2 girlfriends, one turkish one venezuelan, helped feel like travelling through my life. Then turned into a paying fake airbnb fake collaborative economy scam. Couchsurfing is shred to pieces nowadays, asking founding members to pay to access their personal info (! Illegal in europe) and totally lost the pioneer spirit. A total waste of a great idea. Shame on the new owners. How to destroy an utopy in a few years. Total shame, you should not be able to sleep tight anymore.
