  1. AOL processes are not user-friendly and had regressed over the years!

    I updated my billing information by adding a new card. AOL System however will not allow me to delete my old credit card which I was able to do in the past and I have been a user of over 25 years! Deleting the old credit card required calling AOL HELP and waiting for 20 minutes before getting the needed assistance and then I am subjected to the litany of question supposedly for account verification which is a facade. If I already provided the code, why do I have to be subjected to 5 more questions about my account!!.

  5. I must be able to edit my birthdate since you system has the wrong birthdate.

    My birthdate is wrong in your system. There has to be a way to edit my birthdate otherwise you are telling the state, hospital, FBI, Social Security, US Navy, US Army and VA are all a bunch of liars which you would be including my parents and the newspaper that reported my birthdate. Do not tell me you can not change it as I have been to computer programming school and I was taught that all information is not "set in concrete".

  6. Below are my comments

    I have been a subscriber to your service and for the past several years even paying for the service. I don't wish to go through the hassle of moving however I am now considering doing so. Why, because every time I sign on, I have to discard one or more "additional" services you want to offer me. You need to provide an "opt out" button for those who pay for your service, otherwise I have to consider going with one of the more popular "free" services. Thank you..

  8. I was locked out of AOL until I agreed to pay $7

    I was locked out of AOL until I agreed to pay $7 for who knows what. I have no clue what excuse was made to pad up my monthly bill and I have no clue what I'm paying now. I have opened a case.

  9. Stop lying about always trying improve AOL.

    Stop lying about always trying improve AOL. You took away Keyword spam block and adding new users names to an existing
    account. These were two huge steps in the wrong direction.

  10. $40 a month to have Ad Free Desktop Gold is a Joke

    We have been paying our Aol subscription for 30 years and just feel that it is ridiculous that we have to upgrade from $10 a month to nearly $40 dollars a month just to remove ads from AOL gold desktop. Every other competitor is free to use and does not have ads as well. We will be canceling our subscription of 30 years because of this.

  11. Why force users to update passwords?

    Why force AOL users to update passwords when we don't want to?

    It is OK to remind users that there are some advantages in updating passwords, but requiring password updates on AOL's schedule is a **** NUISANCE!

  13. I've been paying $25.00 a month to AOL since 1991. They don't care.

    AOL is the only company that does not allow you to contact them. If you have an issue or complain, you can express it to a live chat robot who tells you they are sorry but they can't help you. AOL sucks and why I even continue to pay them I am not sure. I'm tired of supporting Google and their gay and democrat agenda, and I'm tired of seeing their ******* gay ads.

  17. Access Denied on PCH.com

    I was getting the "Bad Request" message that someone else reported on PCH.Com's games and now I'm seeing "Access Denied" for games and that the server will not access the game. What is going on with this? I've been with AOL for years & years and would appreciate a resolution to this problem.

  18. When Your Tech support

    Asking for a phone number by itself is not a verification. An unauthorized person can give their phone number and if this is not checked by the agent against the known number for the authorized person anyone can be authenticated.
    All agents that request a phone number for a final ID verification need to know the phone number of the individual calling before they ask.
