About Tinder Charges
Tinder is the world's most popular dating app, owned by Match Group. Charges appear as "TINDER," "TINDER.COM," "MATCH *TINDER," or through Apple/Google billing. Common charges include Tinder Plus ($9.99-19.99/month), Tinder Gold ($14.99-29.99/month), Tinder Platinum ($19.99-39.99/month), Super Likes, Boosts, and Top Picks purchases. Prices vary by age, location, and platform.
Unexpected charges often come from subscription auto-renewals, in-app purchases, or being signed up for a higher tier than intended during the subscription flow.

Common Refund Situations
Select the scenario that best describes your situation with Tinder.
Subscription charged after cancellation
You cancelled your Tinder subscription but were still billed the following month. This is a common issue — contact support with proof of cancellation.
Defective or damaged product received
Your order arrived broken or not working as described. Tinder is generally required to offer a refund or replacement for defective items under consumer protection law.
Order never arrived
Your package was marked as delivered but never arrived, or was significantly delayed beyond the estimated date. File a non-delivery claim with Tinder immediately.
Item not as described
The product you received doesn't match what was advertised on Tinder's website — wrong color, size, or features. This qualifies for a refund under most consumer protection laws.
Unauthorized charge on your account
You see a charge from Tinder that you didn't authorize. Report this immediately to both Tinder and your bank — this may qualify as fraud.
Changed your mind / buyer's remorse
You want to return an item you no longer need. Success depends on Tinder's return policy — act quickly as most merchants have a limited return window.
Contact Tinder Directly
Before filing a formal dispute, try reaching out to Tinder directly. Many issues can be resolved faster this way.
