Terrible

Original review Oct 20, 2025

Nobody answered; it went to voicemail. This makes no sense: terrible customer service, waste of my time and money.

Wanted to be seen...

HBO Max - Wanted to be seen...

Ella is the only reason I'm still here... Either compensate her or lose me...

I say what I mean and mean what I say... I've been loyal and will stay because of her... True, I'm just one of many and so is she, but lose either one and you lose the best of the best... It's not a *** contest, just facts...

I'm here because of her and only her...

Do her right and I'll never leave... 'Cause I'm loyal, but I'm here because of her.

HBO Max - Manage profile is stuck on my screen need to talk to a person

My profile keeps asking me to update, and when I do, it comes through on my email, going around in circles. I didn't need to do this at all.

Billing

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

So I was talking to someone. She told me that she was just gonna go to the email and that I could just send her a screenshot.

She didn't even communicate that she was going to drop the call and hang up on me. She sends me an email. I already told her how I was talking to someone with email? And I didn't get anywhere, so now here I am dealing with somebody again, where they're going to the emails.

I can push this through with investigation. This has just been horrible again. I have somebody using my account using the extra account. I've canceled; still no help.

My card is out there being used.

I still haven't been helped. It's getting a little ridiculous.

Preferred solution: Full refund

User's recommendation: Maybe not to use h b o. Their customer service is really ridiculous. If you have a problem and someone is stealing something you have to prove it and even when you're trying to prove it they want you to go through hoops. The fact that they wouldn't even pause The Other account.That's in question why they're even concerned with this matter. The fact that they won't even reach out to that other email , that's in question that i'm talking about. They cannot pause someone's service.Because then if someone has a problem, they're gonna reach out.And then we can find out who's using the other account with my card. I will have charges for I don't know how long this has been going on.

Why haven’t you disputed any charges you don’t recognize with your bank?

User using my account and I've ask to him to stop.

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

Nothing. They hung up on me.

The last thing they said was, 'I can change your new email,' which they didn't, etc. They didn't send me the directions to my new account; they said they'd update me. Sending directions to the new email account was also not sent, as they said they would. I have a person logging into my account that I have asked to log out in person.

He did not indeed.

I need help to get this unwanted Dean Hubbard off from my access to my HBO Max account. ASAP!

Tech support..extreme buffering and pausing

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

Not much is happening to resolve this problem I've had for 2 weeks that I'm still paying for. You told me you were going to call me today at 9 am.

No call.

Also, this is the 3rd time in three days I've had to do the same survey. Annoying because it does not feel like anyone can fix this...any experienced techs!

HBO/MAX is a Disgusting Dishonest Piece of ***

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

I've already signed up & received my subscription, I sit back to wacth shows & get long buffering, then a page telling me to sign in. I'm sick & Tired of "Signing In" Especially to a service I was ALREADY SIGNED INTO.

I didnt have to resign in to my other subscriptions such as Howdy or Prime Video. Iwas able to still access HBO on my smartphone, without being asked to "Sign in" but the real kicker was, these *** Bastards want me to pay FIVE DOLLARS TO TALK TO A TECH!!!

Yet again increasing fees

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

You are charging more and not giving more. Your balance sheet is fat, and your CEO compensation is ridiculous.

When Americans are hurting, you decide it's a good time to charge them more for no other reason than to add to your P&L.

My response was to simply cancel the service! I hope others will follow.

Pros:
  • Entertaining content
Cons:
  • Greater concerned for stockholders over consumers

Preferred solution: Stop raising the fees to allow the C-Suite to keep their obscene salaries and not offering anything of value to the consumer for those increases. Your focus is on your stockholders and not the consumer. This consumer walked away!

User's recommendation: Use free services or read
