”Due to scheduled maintenance, the ability to manage your subscription is temporarily unavailable. Please check back later today to make changes.” I couldn’t watch House of Dragon because of this last night. I wanted to delete my Crave account and switch to a new service, but it says that i have an ongoing active subscription. WTF?! I don’t get it. I couldn’t watch it on my TV because HOTD episode 9 was locked if i don’t upgrade to Crave Total which cost 19.99$ even though they just took money from my account not long ago! What a bunch of Bs! As soon as my subs is over, i will delete my account. Ridiculous. Bunch of greddy A$$hole$!
II received a Crave subscription for 1 year by signing up with Canadian Tire Select.
To navigate the site is ridiculous.
It seemed all the good movies were met with “subscribe to watch”, with no reference on what exactly that meant.
My subscription is up in 12 days and I bid Crave good riddance.
My experience with Crave TV support has been the worst customer support experience I’ve ever encountered. I rarely leave reviews but this has genuinely been unacceptable. 1. I clearly stated multiple times (on more than one ticket because they closed my first one out before the issue was resolved) that I cannot speak to them Mondays, Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday until after 6pm. They have called me at least 8 times on these days in the early afternoon. 2. They have consistently taken wrong notes on my ticket. I literally have to have them repeat everything I say back to me because its all broken telephone. They are very kind but, sadly, no help. Its really frustrating seeing as how my issue has been an issue for over 3 weeks now. AND of course they won’t let you speak to anyone from the level 2 team (the people who actually understand the program)..I do believe I will just need to cancel with them
My experience with Crave TV customer care service is absolutely terrible!! I cancelled my subscription on 8th. Dec. 2020 because my credit card was due to be debited on 10th. Dec. 2020 but my credit card was still debited. I then sent a note to Crave to tell them about the credit card error, I then received a reply back which was such grammatically bad email that I had to read it several times to try to understand it. The note requested that I call the Crave help phone number, which I did. The person on the Crave phone call was totally bad in tone, and said that it was not possible for Crave to debit my credit card, but my card was debited. I don’t know what type of people Crave Tv is employing but these people are totally unprofessional!
My advice to anybody is do not get involved with Crave TV.
Terrible service!!! In more ways than one. I subscribed today. The subscription would not process!!, but it sure processed the credit card info fast enough and took a payment!! I was pretty upset, I cd customer service and all they did was make me do the same thing over and over again 3x till I said, Enough!! I want to cancel! They then told me I would still have to pay for a month!! I told them I hadn’t even got their channel, because Crave would not process my subscription even though they had taken my money!! So what exactly am I paying for??? That is just outright theft!! Then they came back and said they would review my subscription and I might get my money back in 15 days!! What is going on with this company??? I will not ever subscribe to them again, I am that upset!!
Customer service leaves much to be desired. It autorenewed even though I canceled. I called and hid behind there terms and conditions, no exceptions. A no refund cancelation policy is OK when paying monthly but totally unreasonable when paying yearly. Not enough content to justify the price. Have to pay extra for the good movies and TV. Save your money avoid crave.
BEWARE TO ANYONE WHO WANTS TO BUT A CRAVE GIFT CARD
I bought an e-gift card for my 80+ year old mother a month ago. Only $50, bur she only wanted to try it out. Buying the e-card was too easy. they were very eager to take my money. She cannot use it even though she is a Bell satellite customer. Turns out you need a smart TV or other “smart” device in order to use the card. This DOES NOT appear in the sales pitch when you buy. Apparently you have to read the Terms & Conditions. Who does that for a $50 gift?
When I called for a refund of the $50, the only solution was to re-gift the card. I was told that the terms & conditions spelled out no refunds. Since I am also a Bell satellite customer and current Crave customer (at least for now), I have no use for it. Now apparently I have to screen any friends / family first to see if they have a smart TV before I can re-gift the card. All for just $50.
Zero Customer satisfaction here. Don’t Trust Crave TV.
We were one day late cancelling our annual subscription, because we never received notification of it’s upcoming renewal. For one, we didn’t realize it would be automatically renewed, and two, the email was not received by us so we were completely unaware. We are only one day late. I understand they have policies, terms and conditions, however policies, terms and conditions should be bent when it isn’t in the clients’ best interest, and doesn’t provide good customer service. I am absolutely appalled that after being just 1 day late, I am unable to get a refund the rest of the entire year. I am willing to negotiate and be charged for the first month, and be refunded the other 11 months on a pro-rated basis but they said no. Those 11 months haven’t even occurred yet, so regardless of what the terms and conditions say, it is not fair or good customer service not to be provided a refund for the months we do not want the service for. You would be able to easily do so if the subscription was monthly as opposed to annually, and it should make no difference that it was paid annually – we shouldn’t be penalized for having paid a year in advance as opposed to month by month. We have a baby on the way and absolutely cannot afford the full amount for a year – by paying for this annual subscription we are now unable to afford necessities we need for our infant. The customer service rep was unable to empathize with that and was sticking to rigid policies as opposed to being more focused on customer service.
10 plus tries to find out how to contact Crave…… keep shifting me around for the simplest question…. your web site is Not helpful. now i’m your review center . We had a simple question: Why do you show trailers for Shazam – since November – but can’t find it ANYWHERE on your schedule(s) .
I will wait for a answer before I’ll give your site a ONE of FIVE will you all give us an answer
Extremely unhelpful – from rep to supervisor to manager – not one of them spoke English. I usually don’t care, but they were very hard to understand at all levels. A complete waste of time and an hour of my life I will never get back. Thanks for nothing!
I have a hbo + movies account and it has been working week until lately. My account says that it’s pending a renewal which was to be done on the 17th of November. How do I fix this?
One star is way too high for the Crave TV customer experience. Online signup doesn’t work. And the so-called support number is answered only by a voicemail that repeats ‘we appreciate your patience’ 50 (yes fifty) times before a bored voice comes on the line.
After this wait, the ‘agent’ is completely useless. ‘No, i can’t take your credit card number over the phone’. ‘No i don’t know why the site gives an error when you enter an valid credit card number.’ “No you can’t speak to my manager, he’s busy.’
So you can’t take a credit card over the phone and you can’t explain why the site won’t accept a card online. What can you do? “Well sir, if you subscribe and your want to cancel your subscription we can do that.”
Wow..
We have been watching Ray Donovan on Crave. In Season 6, why are episodes 5,6,7,9 all missing from the listing?
Would like to see the whole year uninterrupted.
A pretty good site except for the above mentioned problem.
i had a crave account awhile ago and due to losing my job I had to cancel it. but now I’m try to get a account again but when I put my bank info in it says theirs a account with that card # already.
Tried to access Crave after paying for the subscription How do I get a refund? Tried to do online chat, but was asked to pay $5.00 to get an answer???????? Pleas advise how to get my money back for a service I cannot access!
I think it is outrageous the way Crave is now making everyone sign up with the movie segment of their service in order to stay with any new series and pay double the price. I for one will stay with Netflix.
Hello. I have tried and tried to watch crave that I have been paying for, and couldnt access one show and yet I was charged! I want my account removed please and reimbursment on my card for what I could not watch thank you.
The rep was patient and kind and took the time to explain the changes that took place in November related to what you can see with a subscription and what are now the “Extras” and the additional costs. She said there was email communication to current subscribers regarding this. Perhaps my fault, but I do not recall receiving that information. Was it clear in the subject line about a change in fees? I think not! I would have looked at it otherwise.
Helpful We appreciate your evaluation.My issue is with Crave/ Bell – and whoever made the decision to have “a plus” feature (with more cost), which would mean double the monthly cost to me based on the information I got today.
You want to compete with Netflix, which I also have, you don’t even come close. I have enjoyed specific offerings such as Game of Thrones, Person of Interest, Handmaid’s Tale and the Big C, so it was worth to me in the past to pay for an additional service we got rid of Rogers long ago)- but quite frankly you are offering not much for double the price – just like Bell has done with landline service. I have been a loyal Bell customer ever since I had my own landline (I was 22 years old – I’m now going to be 69 years old this year – do the math – You can’t compete! Will keep Netflix, but Bell services are now so suspect to me I will e looking for a replacement. Your whole “Let’s Talk” philanthropy is, for me, a lie – up the ante – you stopped giving to Kid’s Help phone – don ‘t believe in Ma Bell anymore.
No review yet. Needed some help but cannot find any toll free number to talk to anyone and I wonder why.
Helpful We appreciate your evaluation.Also I want to know if you show Bollywood movies (International) as I would like to see them like prime videos.
Prices defer everywhere I look. Amex says $9.99 plus tax, is it correct.
Can anyone cancel any time?
Found Crave Tv good…until you guys decided to change for some stupid reason. The interface now is completely horrible and non user friendly. STAY AWAY!!!!
Helpful We appreciate your evaluation.I cannot find the rest of season 6 episode 2 and all the other episodes….on channels on demand…..why is this?
Helpful We appreciate your evaluation.I just want to inform you that you don’t have me as a customer because you don’t have a ps4 platform.
Helpful We appreciate your evaluation.You would have gained a loyal customer today if I could have obtained your content in a convenient way via my ps4.
I joined, it was great. Then I couldn’t figure out what I could watch on the basic plan. Then I couldn’t find any movies I could watch unless I paid way more. I don’t mind that you have a better plan available but why make it so very difficult for me to find stuff I have paid to watch.
Oh and while I watched a series I would get punted out between episodes and have to sign in again and then find where I was in the series.
I am going back to Netflix.
Helpful We appreciate your evaluation.I am wishing to cancel crave tv. Will apply at later time when I can get it on my tv. Thankyou.
Helpful We appreciate your evaluation.I’m not impressed. I cannot log in to Crave for the second night, and because I don’t live in the Center of the Universe (Toronto) I can’t even call customer support until tomorrow night.
I’d like a refund.
Helpful We appreciate your evaluation.I can’t subscribe and put in my gift card number to start it, says a
Helpful We appreciate your evaluation.Ready have account but can’t sign I because I already have account. Which is not correct
I recently subscribed to crave tv but I wish to cancel that subscription Just too much trouble and hassle trying to get it set up It’s just not worth the effort
Helpful We appreciate your evaluation.Reading the complaints, i was nervus about trying the help line phone number. It was 8:30 this morning when I called. A very pleasant woman answered (right away) and stayed on the line with me for about a half hour. excellent service.
Helpful We appreciate your evaluation.unauthorized charges to my credit card
Helpful We appreciate your evaluation.thanks crave tv
maybe someone can call me on that
Signed up again for Crave through Bell. Took 3 hours to convince Crave to activate my app on my DVD player. Then once on Crave the only thing working was my list of Cravings from my previous time. This time those selections play but that’s it. Nothing else will load. Called Bell and got through to assistance, a waste of time.
Helpful We appreciate your evaluation.Tried reinstalling the app and went through the same setup problems, finally getting on and nope, the selections won’t load. It appears this app is in need of some serious restructuring. So how about it Bell?
Ya I’d like a live person not a beeping phone
Helpful We appreciate your evaluation.I signed up for crave oct 28 through my virgin phone account but I am unable to connect with my tv so please cancel my account.
Helpful We appreciate your evaluation.Cancelled before the deadline,but was charged for the next month anyway.Would never use Crave again!
Helpful We appreciate your evaluation.Worked for the first day ,and then you get a black screen when you try to stream.. not worth getting!
Helpful We appreciate your evaluation.Tried to watch the series….Bosch. Had the same problem with two episodes……..Season 3 Episodes 01 and 03 would not play and skipped to the next episode. Have tried on several occasions but no luck. Disappointing
Helpful We appreciate your evaluation.customer service is not existant
Helpful We appreciate your evaluation.CUSTOMER SUPPORT IS ABSOLUTE GARBAGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Suddenly I cant access my account (NOT AVAILABLE???) and when I call the help number I get a voice mail. CANCELLING!!! No wonder NETFLIX is WINNING THIS BATTLE!!!
Helpful We appreciate your evaluation.I am having the exact same problem. Now remembering why I cancelled all of my other Bell services (mobile phone, home phone and internet)………I am attempting to log into my account, I am getting a message that I haven’t paid for my subscription (even though the payment was taken from my account today). Trying to call customer service and getting stupid voice mail. Bell has NEVER had proper customer service. Customer Service is a bloody oxymoron !
Helpful We appreciate your evaluation.I subscribe to crave tv and I like the shows but the program keeps freezing while watching it over chromecast. It does not happen with netflix. It is really annoying because it happens multiple times in anything I am watching. I hope cravetv can fix it.
Helpful We appreciate your evaluation.Good Shows, poor user interface. One suggestion/fix I recommend is the settings with Crave and a Chromecast. The big issue I have is when a show ends, instead of playing the next episode, the cast ends and say “Thank for for watching the show, select another show to view” or something around those lines. From there, you have to close the screen, go back and select the show you want to watch and hope you don’t click it too early or it will replay to same episode.
Another issue I have is selecting the episode. Why would I need to search the show oppose to click on it when its in my “Cravings” section. Just too many steps to select a single episode.
Helpful We appreciate your evaluation.Phone number is GARBAGE! TOTALLY USE -LESS! Dial it and u get ” welcome to Avia messaging.Plz enter mailbox # of prsn u wsh to speak to”!!! on their help section official website, this same # is shown and is INCORRECT TOO.
Helpful We appreciate your evaluation.First day was great after that it became IMMPOSSIBLE to get to original site. I was BOMBARDED with thousands of RIDICULOUS tailored sites WHY ?? WHY ??
Helpful We appreciate your evaluation.I love the shows that cravetv has to offer but when it comes to actually being able to watch them is an issue the streaming is crappy for my husband and I to watch a show that is an hour long it takes at least two hours. It is frustrating that we have to keep restarting an episode because it constantly freezes throughout the shows. Like I said we love the shows that are offered but the streaming quality can be worked on.
Helpful We appreciate your evaluation.
