Classmates.com Reviews

I had a free membership with Classmates for some time.  However, I was unable to send email messages to former classmates and use other functions on the site without buying a premium membership.  I upgraded and was sorry I did.  I felt it was a total waste of my money.  The info I did obtain about former classmates was way outdated and not of any use to me. — Once you have a free membership, you are going to get gobs of email advertisements trying to get you to pay for an upgraded membership.  They entice with lines such as, "Someone visited your… read full review »

Well, I wish I had read the reviews here before I took the plunge and got my gold membership. I had a long and happy relationship with Classmates.com - a good 10yrs - until I gave them my money. — — The good and the free: I saw names of classmates. It was nice to know they were still around. Depending on how much interest the site wanted to generate, I could read summaries of their lives since school, or college or the military, and for a while I could see pictures. I still go to the site to see if anyone has joined or changed a name - whatever. Latest incentive is an… read full review »

I was one of the first to join classmates over a decade ago. I was busy planning my 20 year high school reunion and after almost 2 years of hard work, and being listed as the event contact, Classmates opted to remove me and place one of their advertisers in my place (Reunions of America, or such) and refused to change it. Then I was constantly being hit up to upgrade and spend more and more money for their site, which never offers anything extra. Yes, it was fun to reconnect about 10 years ago, but now it's easier to do that without this service, and yet they have not evolved. They are… read full review »

     My husband has a classmates account and just the other night had someone sign in on his account.  When he went to find out who it was he was disscouraged to find out that he had to upgrade to get it.  This is crazy, even the weatherbug doesn't ask for money and you can find the weather ANYWHERE!!  Find a sponsor or something, don't make people trying to find old classmates pay to find their old friends.  Times are hard enough as it is.  I recently moved out of my home state and would love to find people i knew there that are now moved like we… read full review »

I have been a "Gold Member" of Classmates.com for 6 years.  I have had a problem with logging on for three months.  I have contacted them through email and have yet to get the problem resolved.  I am an attorney and will be happy to file a class action on behalf (at no charge) for anyone else that will like to join me demanding a Full… read full review »

Not worth it.  You have to be a member to send a message.  You have to be a member to receive a message.  Annual fees are overpriced.  Just not worth it.  Go look at Myspace (free) and see if you can find old classmates there instead. … read full review »
