Regular price
$34.99/mo (3-month Standard plan, billed as ~$104.97 upfront)
Discount you can get
20–30% off your renewal (standard from reps), up to 50% off reported via phone retention specialists; some users report bonus free months added instead
How to unlock this discount
Log in to your Match.com account on desktop (desktop gives better retention prompts than mobile app).
Click the gear/settings icon in the top-right corner of your profile page.
Select 'Manage My Subscription' (or 'Change/Cancel Membership' depending on your interface).
Click the option to cancel or turn off auto-renewal — this begins the cancellation flow.
You will be presented with a reason-selection screen. Select 'Too expensive' or 'Cost' as your reason for leaving.
Match will present a first retention offer (typically 20% off or a bonus month). Review it but consider declining it to trigger a better offer.
If you decline the first offer, a second, improved offer may appear (up to 30–50% off). If this is acceptable, click 'Accept' or 'Stay with this offer' to lock in the discount.
ALTERNATIVE (recommended for best offers): Instead of using the online flow, call Match.com customer support directly at their phone line. Tell the representative you are considering canceling due to cost. Phone reps have more authority to offer higher retention discounts than the automated web flow.
Confirm the discounted rate has been applied by checking your Account Settings → Subscription details.
Insider Tips
Select 'Too expensive' as your cancellation reason — this is the trigger phrase that routes you to retention pricing
Decline the first offer presented; a second, better offer frequently follows
For the best results, call customer support by phone instead of using the website cancellation flow — phone representatives are authorized to offer larger discounts (up to 50% off) and have more flexibility than the automated system
Politely mention budget constraints and that you're considering a competitor like Bumble or Hinge
