Hidden Costs Breakdown

1

Auto-Renewal Without Adequate Notice

high addon

Bloomberg subscriptions auto-renew, often charging the full annual amount without a prior reminder. Multiple users report being charged hundreds of dollars unexpectedly when monthly subscriptions were converted to annual, or when renewals processed without notification.

Scumbags on automatic renewal. They get you for a reasonable monthly fee and then zap your card on renewal, WITHOUT a reminder, for a one time hundreds of dollars, changing your subscription from a monthly to an annual

The website was deceptive! I tried to cancel the day before renewal and it offered me half price, so I agreed to renew. Then I got a notification that they renewed the subscription for 2027, a year in advance, and discovered they had already billed me full price for 2026.

2

Difficult Cancellation Process

medium support

Users report that cancelling Bloomberg subscriptions is deliberately obstructive. Customer service is described as unresponsive, and the AI help function does not connect users with real agents quickly enough to resolve billing disputes.

The AI help function did not give me a real person to quickly solve this, and a few days later I got an e-mail from a rep who clearly did not understand what had happened and basically just said "Too bad, so sad" in more polite business language.

Useless not worth a dollar, and you obstruct exit from subscriptions. Disgrace

Charges for Unused Trial Periods
