  3. Hi if I upgrade to the 12 month plan does it take the £6.99 straight away then every month after or does it take the full £83 also is it easy to cancel the membership and can I stop payments at anytine

  4. Kate can you help?I cannot get this site to accept my phone number for verification and cannot find anyone to help .

    1. Hi Robert, thank you for reaching out and I’m so sorry to hear you’re having issues verifying your phone number. I’ve shared this with our customer care team who will follow up with you via email. Thanks for your patience on this one.

  5. Where do I go to find out the prices of an upgrade? And where is the link to enroll in the upgrade?

    Reply

    1. Hi Kitty, great question and it depends on whether you’re using our app or desktop website. If you’re on the desktop site, when you login you should see in the top right hand corner a pink button that says UPGRADE. This will be next to Tokens and My Profile. On the app, you will find this on the homepage when you login. It will be on a blue banner that says UPGRADE with a pink button.

  9. Hi Kate.

    If I choose the 12 month plan, do I have to pay the big amount upfront? Does that work for all three memberships?

    Or do I pay the 6.99 per month to a total of the big amount?

    Reply

    1. Hi Peter, for the 12 month plan, the payment would be taken out in full. Hope that helps answer your question!

  11. Hi
    If I upgrade my POF membership do other users who view my profile have to know I’ve upgraded?
    i.e does my profile have to have a yellow star or words ‘Dave is upgraded member’ on it?
    Thanks

    Reply

    1. Hi Dave, great question. That’s correct, other members on Plenty of Fish will see that you’re an upgraded member at the bottom of your profile as it will say “Dave is an Upgraded Member”

      Reply

  12. Hi If i hide my views when looking at other people’s profiles can upgraded members still see that i viewed them? If yes can they see how many times (with details such as dates and times) ive viewed their account.

    Reply

    1. Hey Abi, if you hide your views this is hidden from everyone, even upgraded members!
