I did change a number subscriptions and computer uses during the COVID years. Approaching 80, my memory is not quite what it was. ![]() Within 24 hours, I received a detailed message proving that I had indeed canceled my subscription and then listed exactly what I needed to do to get up and running with any project I had tried to create. I immediately contacted Smilebox customer service. When I tried to create my annual Holiday message sent out to all friends and relatives, a screen note told me that I was no longer a paid-up user. I have been a Smilebox user for over 4 years and have been extremely happy with the ease of use and variety of presentations in constructing online projects. They intentionally take advantage of people as a policy. ![]() It doesn't matter how lovely their product is. 100% do not recommend any company that makes their pricing deliberately deceiving. It is intentionally misleading advertising and then when they trick you, they tell you its your fault. If you look at other review platforms you will see even more negative reviews about this deception. If you look at the reviews you will see there are many reviews about this issue. There are many other companies out there that offer a similar product without the deception. So instead of paying $4.99 you are paying just shy of $60 for the beautiful card you created. They charge for a year subscription which you find out after you click the option for $4.99. The site leads you to believe that it will cost you a little less than $5 dollars to use their card service. Don't believe me check the BBB page for Smilebox this list of complaints is long and repetitive. ![]()
