Resolved: I need to update my email address

Contacted the company first

The reviewer tried to contact the company before posting this review.

Updated by user Aug 29, 2026

Company fixed the issue and I have been provided with product or service ordered. They had set me up for two accounts, one ad-free and one with ads.

I canceled the one with ads and retained the ad-free version. They argued with me at first but finally agreed to do this. Call them directly.

Their live chat is terrible. They keep repeating the same question over and over and can't understand my answers.

Original review Jul 21, 2026

The person I called was able to help me quickly. I did not have success with the online chat.

It asked me the same question over and over and didn't answer my question.

All I wanted was to change my email address. It shouldn't be that hard.

User's recommendation: Call. Don't use the on line chat.

¡¡¡¡¡DICTATOR!!!!

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

Hbomax has too many problems with controlling how I use my subscription! They want to control where I stream and how!

Sometimes, I can't log into my account!!!

I will get 10,000 family, friends, coworkers, neighbors and social media network to cancel also. Hbomax will have regrets and a great loss in revenue!!!

Cons:
  • Too much control like a dictator

Preferred solution: Apology

User's recommendation: Stream with Netflix or Amazon with NO Control.

Scam charges

HBO Max - Scam charges

The call was choppy, and they hung up on me; nothing got accomplished. I literally had one debit card that got charged ten times from this company.

I closed that debit card, got a new debit card, and within a week, I got charged three more times from the same company, HBO Max. They have no information on my name whatsoever.

Loss:
$96

I enjoy HBOMAX. However, the fact I am being prevented from canceling so I can get it on DirectTV makes me think it is not worth getting ever again!!s

Pros:
  • Good programs
Cons:
  • Deliberate prevention of cancellation

Preferred solution: A cancellation of my subscription!!!

User's recommendation: Stay away from HBOMAX

Too low volume

AI Highlights
  • - Customer service blames user, HBO's fixed 5.1 sound causes low laptop volume, the user will buy a Bluetooth speaker and seeks reimbursement details.

Not the first time I've called. I keep being told by your customer service team that it's my fault. Not in direct words. But that's the overview.

I found the answer to why HBO volume is so low. HBO has 5.1 Dolby sound and it's set and cannot be changed. Most new laptops come with small speakers, thus causing the audio to be almost non-existent. I found this out with no help from HBO.

So I'm going to buy a Bluetooth speaker. Please supply me with the address to HBO for reimbursement. It's HBO's fault I have to buy this.

This could be easily fixed by HBO by offering an on/off switch for your audio.

It's such an easy fix for HBO. That's how much HBO actually cares.

Loss:
$199
Pros:
  • Great movies
Cons:
  • Could easily fix the issue chooses not to

Preferred solution: Apology

"Most new laptops have small speakers". It's not the size, but the quality. If streaming was important, you need to spend more on a laptop that has dedicated audio specs.

HBO owes you nothing. It's your laptop that is junk.
