    WYZE Labs refuses to remove my credit card information from an account I no longer have access to. I was charged last year on 04/08/2023 and was charged again this year 04/08/2024 for a subscription based camera service. I no longer have the camera or access the account attached to it. I have tried to contact support but they refuse to contact the account owner themselves to verify the payment information. Instead they keep charging me for a service that I am not using or involved with any longer. I initially contacted support on 04/16/2024 for the amount charged of $16.45. I gave them the information of the account asking to confirm that the charge was from the provided and they confirmed. They responded to me several times before saying that I need to have the account owner reach out. Given that they have the contact information and the ability to remove my payment information, I asked them to contact the owner to verify and they have yet to respond. I also contacted them last year when this same charge arrived and they had said they would look into it, yet I was charged again this year.

    Hello, as you are not the account holder, we are unable to give any further information or make any changes to the account. We would recommend working with your bank for any further issues.

    I am rejecting this response because:

    Despite me not holding the account that this charge falls under, it is my banking information that falls under it. I am telling you that I am not authorizing these charges and have asked for you to verify with the account holder that this is their payment information. Although the account is not mine, I believe it still falls under financial transaction card fraud which you are facilitating by not verifying the card holder information. I have spoken with my bank and had the charge disputed last year as previously discussed. I would rather not go through this process every year that you continue to charge my card without my permission. What I have asked of your support team requires less than a 5 minute verification.

    Sincerely,

    Wyze issued me a $15 off code for a prior order.I also have a 10% student discount code from Student Beans.The website is not allowing me to use both, yet nowhere is it disclosed that these codes may not be combined. Therefore, must allow me to use both coupons/codes. Otherwise, this is false, deceptive, misleading advertising and trade practices.I chatted with the support team, who refused to honor both codes and could not point me to any published terms prohibiting their combination.

    Hello, the Student Beans discount cannot be used with any other promotional codes. You may read more about the Promotional Terms and Conditions here:

    I've been paying for Cam Plus for well over 2 years. I got a report from one of my neighbors saying there were kids going thru our mailboxes and somebody was peeking thru the windows of my car. I've really had the need to go thru cloud videos until now. Most of the time I just look at live recordings if I hear strange noises. So now that I finally need to go back and look at videos I find out that my Cam Plus subscription hasn't even been activated on my camera. I went back and forth thru email a few times explaining the problem and asking for a refund and they simply stopped responding. Unfortunately I accidentally deleted the emails, but I have the screenshots of the app showing the problem. They even stopped responding to my ******** comments. I want a full refund for these services as I clearly did not receive them. I do not want a credit on my account as I do not plan on staying with Wyze after this fiasco.

    Hello, were sorry to hear that the troubleshooting did not resolve the issue. At this time, we do not have additional steps to try and are unable to make any changes to your subscription on our end as in-app purchase info is not shared with us by Apple or ******. 

    For further assistance, please reach out directly to Apple (for iOS users **************************) or ****** (for Android users ***************************). Please note that all subscriptions purchased via the Wyze app are non-refundable.

    We apologize for any confusion or inconvenience this may have caused.

    Complaint: 21600944

    I am rejecting this response because:

    Your no refund policy is not the say all do all. Your no refund policy does not apply when the customer does not receive the product they paid for. I am rejecting this response because Wyze is perfectly capable of handing out a refund themselves. They're passing the blame on to ****** to avoid accountability. And ****** will most likely give me the runaround as well telling me I need to contact ****. It's same old circus everywhere you go. It's no wonder you guys are rated F on here. 


    Sincerely,

    Just as I suspected, ****** is not issuing a refund. So I've been paying for Cam plus for about 2 years without actually receiving the service and no one is willing to give me a refund. I'm sorry, but your refund policies do not apply to services that were not rendered. I want my money back immediately.

    Ive emailed back and forth for multiple days multiple emails because my alarm system from them has stopped contacting not only me but the police as well. Its a paid for service to have it monitored and a signal sent to police when triggered. The system hasnt been working since August. They told me to contact noonlight it was a problem on their end since they monitor the system. Noonlight was helpful but explained it was the Wyze system not sending any signal to them. He also said that it a large topic of discussion among other customers having the same problem with ****. I then again contacted **** and sent along the info from noonlight. I was basically told there was nothing they could do and was closing out the ticket. That is some horrible customer service. I then said this is a paid service I deserve a refund Ive been paying for a service Im not receiving. So they prorated me a refund of a partial month and turned my service off. I never asked for my service to be turned off I asked for a refund for the services Ive paid for already and hasnt received which has been since August of last year. Now I have no monitoring service and several hundreds of dollars in equipment that they basically told me sorry we cant fix it we are closing the ticket out. Unreal.

    I originally signed up for a month to month CAM+ subscription. I then too advantage of a yearly subscription discount and signed up for that. Since this was all on the same account and had no direction or warnings, I assumed it would update and reflect. Instead, I was charged the monthly again even though I had the yearly. When I asked support to refund I was told that **** does not offer refunds on subscriptions and then I was informed that I, the customer, had to be aware of cancelling older subscriptions since they turned out do not talk to each other. In short, Wyze has let me down and the fact their policy is quick to take money and blame a customer and not ensure customer satisfaction should say something. The amount is small, but it is the principal of ensuring customer satisfaction and being clear on requirements.

    Hi ******************,

    Wyze today has refunded the money.  They did not address the poor handling and put it to "one time courtesy" which is a positive in a way but not a solution for the poor practice.

    At this stage, I would say I am happy for the return but not happy with the fact others will be subject to the same situation.

     

    Thank you,

    Need replacement Wyze Sense kit/hub. Hub was originally activated on March 11, 2024. To date, I have contacted Wyze support 11 times for the SAME UNRESOLVED ISSUE!!! I have been promised a reply email within 48 hours after each report (First reported to Wyze on MARCH 12th). I have NOT received any response at all. I am tired of calling over and over and OVER! What steps must I take to get this issue RESOLVED??? My system repeats the last command over and over completely by itself and it also sends repeated "Power Failure - Running on battery power" or a "Battery Low" alert even though there has not been ANY POWER Interruptions at all!I have quite literally invested OVER 10 HOURS between waiting on hold and actually speaking with a Wyze rep that apologizes but cannot help me or transfer me to someone that can! This is a home security system that is supposed to keep my home safe! Wyze Labs handling (or lack there of) is irresponsible and unacceptable to say the least!

    I purchased a Wyze Camera from Amazon, and the invoice clearly shows that it includes a 3 month subscription to Cam Plus. The box included a coupon which did not work. I contacted customer support via chat and they were unable to give me the 3 months of **************** I paid for. They turned the ticket over to a Wyze Wizard who just cut and pasted the same response twice. I am not asking for a refund, I am only asking for the 3 free months of **************** I paid for. I followed the instructions as suggested.. I signed up for a Cam Plus, provided a credit card, but only received one month of free service instead of three. The coupon code provided with the purchase did not work. I have attached the invoice and the coupon code. I have waited several days for an additional response and they are not responding. Please help me get what I paid for.
