- [R29] Experian® Only good for checking score: They need to provide more detailed information on credit score changes. The app shows score drops and increases and tells you next to nothing about them - so it’s unhelpful. It has broad and general assumptions about why a score may have changed. Experian’s benefit is that it shows a credit rating number and that’s it pretty much. They also display advertising excessi
- [R94] Expedia Gives you one price but always is higher in the end: The past few times I went to book it gives you one price but when you check out it always seems to go up by a lot had good luck before but now it’s just a joke
- [R115] Expedia Higher Prices Changing so quickly: Why publish prices only to have them change so quickly before you check out. Such unfair practices. I'm reporting Expedia. Very misleading
- [R9] Experian® Needs work: I have been unable to log in for days now because of the suspiciously named error 200-000-000. Closing all other apps didn’t help. Rebooting didn’t help.Even upgrading to the latest version didn’t help. For an expensive app with so much marketing placements, it needs to shine technically, and it doesn’t.
- [R12] Experian® It’s ok: It wants me to update my address but when I do it tells me there is an error so I can never update my address so my boost doesn’t work half the time… well more than half the time.
- [R105] Expedia LAG!: The app is easy to use and great but wow the lag is insane. It freezes constantly and I have quit and start again multiple times during my search. Please fix :(
- [R114] Expedia Glitching: I love this app and have been a member and user for years however, more recently it has started glitching so much. Try and book hotels and it just stays on loading and won’t move further.
- [R1] Experian® Horrible experience: Customer support is virtually non-existent
- [R22] Experian® All glitches, zero support: The app doesn’t even allow me to sign in. And good luck trying to get an actual person in customer service to help. All they have is AI helpers that will hang up on you if they can’t help.
- [R70] Expedia Terrible service: Cannot get help when flight get cancelled
- [R88] Expedia Horrible customer support and app in general: Had to call twice for hours because I wanted to cancel flights, the agents there are the most incompetent people I’ve ever seen, the first time I called he gave me totally different booking reference numbers from the second guy I called(had to call again because the app was telling me the departing flight wasn’t cancelled) and the agent was telling me
- [R16] Experian® Unusable if not paid: I used the free version since 2019. I decided to try out the subscription, and its not worth the $25 a month ($300 a year mind you) there’s no features added. Now, the problem is I went to cancel it, and I cannot open the app without paying $25. There’s no option to cancel. No human support. So I deleted it. And your emails are spam now. Thanks for nothing.
- [R31] Experian® Don’t waste your money!: If you subscribe once in order to cancel you’ll have to pay the $24.99 again right after oh and all the “services” they offer in a subscription your bank offers FOR FREE. LITERALLY A SCAM. The worst app on the planet. OH YEAH and your credit scores will never actually be accurate.
- [R15] Experian® Experian Review: Experian is a good product very accurate and assists me to keep up with all my Obligations credit wise . The customer care service is awful outsourced to another country where they don’t understand what you are trying to ask condescending and not helpful. Also Experian doesn’t make it easy to locate a phone number .. Dissatisfied with voice mail and customer support
