## Reviews

### "I used ActBlue to donate money to a political cause. It turned out to be a nightmare." — 3.0/5

> **Rod** | *30 July 2018*
> 
> **Pros**: When things are working, they are a great idea to collecively service small donors so that they can have a collective voice in political and social causes.
> 
> **Cons**: They are known to turn your one time donation into a recurring donation without asking your permission. I had to cancel my credit card because there was no way for me to turn off the donation at their end. I tried to cancel my account with them and they refused to do it. There is really something wrong going on. Why politicans and social groups use ActBlue to manage their donation solicitations is beyond me.  you cannot go online and stop or change your credit card that is being used for the last donation. Criminal behavior. Check out all the complaints online.

### "Never Had a problem donating or cancelling a recurring donation" — 5.0/5

> **Sandi** | *29 April 2021* | Telecommunications | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The tool makes it easy to find specific persons or organizations for my donations.  It even cancelled a recurring donation automatically when my favorite person dropped out of the race.
> 
> **Cons**: Nervous about it at first as I was not sure of the legitimacy.  Good now though.
> 
> Excellent way to donate.  Easier than trying to locate an address to mail a check to.

### "Possible fraudulent" — 1.0/5

> **C. Renee** | *15 October 2020* | Recreational Facilities & Services | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Not a single solitary thing. I think they are an outright scam organization
> 
> **Cons**: I signed an online petition regarding Supreme Court Justice nominee and agreed to the MINIMUM donation of $3 paid via Paypal. When taken to the act blue page to create an act it said I was selected to have my contribution increased/matched if I contributed again. I declined. 

Then another page gave an option to opt-in for recurring donation or additional one-time donation AGAIN I declined. However, when I received the email to verify my account and clicked the link, my Act blue profile says I donated $25\! I logged onto my Paypal and sure enough, $25 had been deducted instead of the $3 I agreed to\!

Now I'm seeing complaints regarding reoccurring charges being added on others accounts. Thankfully I used PayPal and I can end any further transactions and dispute this one and get a refund without having to shut down my bank cards.

Several correspondence to the company via response to text updates, emails and contact us console on website and nothing more than canned "we have received your message and will get back with you soon" type responses is all I receive.
> 
> Aweful. I think they are a scam and their unscrupulous activity reflects poorly on legitimate campaign funding.

### "Problems for US citizens residing in other countries." — 4.0/5

> **Fredric** | *14 January 2020* | Higher Education Software | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: In the past it has been easy to use and when it erroneously listed my contribution as monthly, quickly corrected it and refunded the contributions that I had not intended to use.
> 
> **Cons**: Act Blue now requires US citizens living abroad to provide their US Passport Number. While I understand their need to document that overseas contributors are US citizens, I will not put my passport number on-line no matter what the security features are in place. I simply don't trust them. Act Blue needs to find a less intrusive way of legitimating US citizenship.
> 
> As described above, prior to the requirement that overseas Americans provide their Passport Number, my experience with Act Blue has been positive. It is easy to use and covers a multiplicity of political organizations that I wanted to contribute too without providing the same information over and over again.

### "Trusted choice of Contribution Selection and Participation" — 5.0/5

> **Thelma** | *20 August 2019* | Nonprofit Organization Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: What I liked most of all regarding this software have been the features offered to its users. After a donor makes a payment, an email confirmation is sent. Donors who have multiple organizations they are in support of, have the option at a single transaction to make more than one donation. If at any time, a charge that was not authorized, i.e. recurring donation have the option of canceling or managing donations. In the age of cyber crimes, their security measures give both the organization and contributors a greater sense of security.
> 
> **Cons**: I have no negative thoughts or concerns regarding the use of this software application.
> 
> I have had very positive experiences. I  appreciate having the ability to share my personal experiences of its use and overall satisfaction.
