We can't really help you.  You need to go through Billing.  They do their best with a limited staff, but 3 days seems about the average response in my experience, and last time I had a problem it took over 2 weeks to resolve.  I'm just saying it might take a little patience on your end.  Let me find a link...

This should work...

@baddogno thanks for your response, I went through a phase where I was stubborn about my rating and I made new accounts until it got better (of which I regret) I now keep to this account because I have looked at it from a different perspective, it’s great to watch my rating improve... I am worried it added the membership to an old account linked to my apple and hope Chess.com forgive me

Make sure you give them all the details when you contact them.  Lots of kids do the same things with their accounts and while not pleased, I think chess.com is generally ready to forgive and forget.  Good luck!

Purchases made through the app require manual intervention to add to the profile. It can take a business day or two to get applied, but a ticket doesn't hurt.

@martin_stahl thank you, what sort of manual intervention are you talking about??

Martin_Stahl

Apparently there isn't a direct connection between the iOS app store purchases (or Android even) and the site's membership system. So someone in billing/customer support has to apply the purchases to accounts. At least, that is my understanding of it.

I purchased the yearly gold membership but it will not let me analyze my games

It can't have gone through yet or you would have a little thingamajig next to your flag.

if i buy a chess.com premium membership in one country then move to another will my membership remain or are there like diffrent servers and stuff. This might be a really stupid question but i just want to make sure

@ httpsHassan: Unless you're planning to move somewhere like N. Korea, you should be fine.  Europeans have clamored for their own servers to cut down lag, but I think they're still all in California.

Memberships are tied to the account. It doesn't matter where you sign in from with that account, it will have the membership.

I brought a diamond membership (monthly) and still i cant review my games and cant do unlimited puzzles and cant access any of the features. And when i try to buy it again it says that i have already brought it and it ends i a month. What should i do? (I alredy has been 2 days and im still waiting)

If you bought through one of the app stores, it applies to the email address associated with the app store. Do you have a different account associated with that address?

No i didn’t brought it through the app store and it alredy has been 3 days and 3 day is wasted. So pls help me fast if you know how

You purchased on the website?

Martin_Stahl
masterkavtar wrote:
Yes i brought it on the app

The app is different than the website process

The app attaches the purchase to the account that matches the email that matches the email on both. You probably have a different account that the membership was applied to.

Staff will get back to you, it just may take longer than expected. If this is the account you wanted the premium on, they should be able to assist with that

Since there are a lot of tickets, staff work most in the order received. They should respond soon

How are they going to contact me? On email or on the app

Through email on the account you used on your support ticket.

I sent a ticket 4 or 5 days ago, and they are not responding. If the membership has no days left why should i need it. 5 day is wasted, and i understand that they have a lot of tickets but 5 days is too late. should i send another one? Martin_Stahl.

No, you shouldn't send another one. They should be responding soon.
