Match.com has launched its new Make Love Happen(TM) Guarantee. The guarantee promises new subscribers they’ll meet someone special in six months or less, or Match.com will give them an additional six-month subscription for free.

New Match.com members who sign up by November 30th are eligible for the guarantee as long as they follow a few very simple guidelines. The guidelines are outlined in more detail on the website and basically require the following:

  • Post a truthful profile with a current photo
  • Keep it visible for six months on the site
  • Communicate with at least five other Match.com members

And to help the new members track their progress, Match.com offers a special site to view their progress during the six-month period.

I can’t view this since I’m an existing member. Anyone with screenshots please send in and I’ll post them.

Program details state that over 200,000 people met that special someone on Match.com last year. That’s about 10% of all paying members, pretty good success rate, depending on how you define success.

Beware of this!! I joined the site mainly because of the 6 month guarantee. I have been following the rules for the last past 3 months. Yesterday I checked my progress and I had a violation on member contact, the rule is to contact 5 members a month. I know I checked this 2 days ago and it was OK. Obviously this forfites my 6 month guarantee and I am no longer elegible. And I know! I contacted more that 5 members.
There goes my ###### guarantee!!
I was scammed by match.com damn!!
