Dear chess.com staff!

I've sent two support tickets already, but to no avail, I got no response whatsoever although 24 hours passed each time. I would like to have a refund of my 1 year membership payment which was processed on March 27, 2015 since there is a 30 days money back guarantee policy.  I really hope this post gets some attention from the staff!

02/20/2025 - Running into the same issue; I woke up to a 400 bill I didn't buy nor wanted. I filed my ticket and still didn't get a response. I have no words to the abyssmal dread such experience evokes. Did you get your refund?
