FAQs What's the difference between the memberships? Great question! You can compare our subscription tiers here. Why are there two charges on my statement? I thought I was only paying the difference. When you upgrade, we automatically refund whatever time is remaining in your Basic membership, and then rebill for Premium or Plus. The Basic refund may not show up right away, but it should be credited to your account within 3-5 business days. I'm getting an error message about my payment method. What's wrong? We require that you use the same payment method for your upgrade that was used for your Basic membership purchase. For example, if you purchased Basic through the App Store, the only way you'll be able to pay for a Premium or Plus upgrade is to use your App Store account from the app on an iOS device. If for some reason you're not able to use the same payment method, you can contact us and we'll be happy to help. I upgraded through the App Store but Premium/Plus doesn't work. What should I do? Any time you have a problem with an App Store purchase, your first step should be to restore the transaction. This doesn't bill you for anything additional; it just syncs your OkCupid account with your App Store account to make sure we have the most up-to-date purchase information. If you're still not able to use Premium/Plus after restoring, get in touch and we can help. I'm getting an error message that I can't be upgraded. I already bought Basic. Does this mean it's not active? The short answer is: no, that's not what it means. Your Basic membership is active and you can use all of the features included with it. This error message just means we can't upgrade you to Premium or Plus. This may be because your payment is being declined, or you've canceled your subscription. I canceled my subscription. Why can't I upgrade? Presently, we're only allowing members with active subscriptions to upgrade. This means that if you cancel the automatic renewal of your membership, you won't be eligible to upgrade to Premium/Plus without contacting support.
