Mile High Singles

I went in today for an «interview.» I was supposed to see Heidi, but someone named Sheryl came out to greet me. She started with lots of compliments about what I was wearing and proceeded to tell me that she could spot a person with a good heart immediately and she knew that I had all the qualities they were looking for. She then proceeded to tell me that they only accept 52% of the applicants that walk in the door and I was one of the elite few that would be offered a membership.
After an hour of small talk and very esoteric questions, to which she appeared to be diligently taking notes and responding very favorably to all of my answers, I finally asked her what the service cost. She pulled out a piece of paper showing three levels of membership that ranged from the high $ 8000 range to around $ 9500 plus a $ 110/​mo. recurring monthly charge for on-​line access. I was absolutely floored! I think she could sense me immediately recoil and she launched into the great deal she could give to me because of how highly she thought of me. Long story short, after she left the room and came back no less than three times (picture a used car salesman going back to his «finance manager» to fight for a better deal for the customer — ya right…) she said she was allowed to offer 10 bottom dollar memberships per year and I was her last one (what luck for me!!). All throughout the sales pitch, I kept telling her that I really wasn’t comfortable making a decision today. She finally offered me something thousands and thousands of dollars less than the original figures for a 10 month membership and two months of freeze time. Again, I said I would think about it. She then proceeded to tell me I had to sign right then to get that deal.
I KNEW better and should have run as soon as she went into her used car salesman routine. But, I kept telling myself that this could be a really good opportunity to meet some men of a different caliber than were on free dating sites, and that I might meet some really good single girlfriends at some of the events as well.
I asked to see some profiles and she said that they took their members’ privacy very seriously but there were a select few members that had given them permission to show their profiles. She brought me four printouts of all model gorgeous, successful men and asked me to choose which ones I liked the best. I had a very strong suspicion they weren’t real profiles and there was absolutely no way for me to know. I then proceeded to ask her what would happen if everyone I was interested in was not interested in me. She basically convinced me that would never happen because I had her to market me and make the men understand what an incredible catch I was. Hmm…
So, I agreed. I signed the enormous contract and initialed all of the waivers and small print absolving Mile High Singles of any responsibility whatsoever. There was no guarantee, no refunds, no requirement on their part to do anything for the money they were being paid.
Well, I got home later that day and was having strong second thoughts about joining. I called to request a refund from Dee Dee Hirsch, the Director. The receptionist said that she was on the phone and asked if Sheryl could help me. I said, «No, she absolutely cannot help me.» She then told me to hold and Sheryl picked up the line! I hung up and called back again and proceeded to tear her a new one for transferring me to Sheryl when I had just specifically told her I did not want speak to Cheryl. Then Dee Dee got on the phone and immediately began scolding me for disrespecting her staff. I tried to explain why I was angry and she hung up on me. Very professional Dee Dee…
She agreed to void my charge, I think only because she could tell she was dealing with someone who wasn’t going to take any BS from them. I will be watching to make sure the card doesn’t get charged. At this point, I don’t trust them farther than I could push them with my pinky finger. The article above also mentions the fact that they used to be called Great Expectations and they have also operated under other names. There are multiple lawsuits against them in several states. Apparently, they keep shutting down and reopening under a different name. The common complaint is that people pay a lot of money and receive nothing in return. The pool of candidates is far smaller than they purport, and many of the accounts are inactive. The staff appears to do very little to actually facilitate connections. One word to sum up this experience… Yuck.

Please do yourself a favor and take a pass on Mile High Singles! I should have known when I went to their office and she, Sheryl (Cheryl?) took me into her office and started with the high pressure hard sale tactics. When I signed my contract she was suppose to give me one match to get started and he was from Ft Collins… that’s over an hour away! Not only that but he was outside of my search criteria in other ways which I disclosed to her! Truth is this company offers nothing to online dating and is a complete waste of time, not to mention money! There was not one person on their web site that I would date who was available and lived within a reasonable distance to me… not one!

I see the other reviews here are not very good. I have had a very different experience and wanted to make sure that this company got the kudos it deserves. The office staff is wonderful, they take the time to meet you and learn about what you really want in a partner.
The staff organizes mixers so that you meet other singles in a relaxed and fun way.
Yes, you can get an online profile for less but honestly, you get what you pay for… ever seen CATFISH? I have used online sites (the free ones and the ones that charge) and I have been let down more times than I can count.
The difference is that your dates are SCREENED for you and then you are matched with dates that have your same interest. It is a real benefit to have someone else do all the «dirty work» for you; absolutely worth the price.
