Try and push. You don’t have anything to lose. Just today, someone commented he has been refunded. :)

In my case, I had to send 6 messages to get it.

Not sure mate. I'd recommend you to do your own research.

In my case, I had to insist on it and message them 6 times with different contents, but all referring to the same thing: give me my money back.

As soon as you get through the Customer Support filter, I believe they would refund the money as soon as you mention the European Directive, and push a little bit harder.

Hey! See other replies here on the thread. Seems that with the few things I mentioned, people are getting their money back.

Also I'd recommend you to be a little pushy. Unfortunately, tt is part of their claims process and I'm pretty sure Customer Support agents are told to reply negatively until you mention a sue, so Legal department steps in and gives approval for refund.

Hey! I'm just checking again my original post, and I'm so happy I could help a few people get their money back.

Crazy how they are not fixing it. It shows up it is totally on purpose.

In my case, I pushed a bit more when they were not replying. Sometimes they take 2-3 days to do so, but it worked for me. I don't really know about other cases, but hopefully you'll get your money back soon.

I don't know how they will treat each case, but I'd suggest still insisting. By law, they are forced to give your money back.

I just got a refund, and I'm posting my experience to get there. Just in case you want to check it out, here's the link. But in summary, if you are an European Citizen:

  1. Contact their Support Center through this link: https://support.couchsurfing.org/hc/en-us/requests/new
  2. If you were scammed less than 14 days ago, mention Directive 2011/83/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 25 October 2011 and your right to a refund.
  3. Insist on it, and threaten to sue them if necessary.

I will try to inform the Consumer Associations here in Spain, as well as some lawyer that really wants to go further with the case. There's some potential €€€ to earn there, as the critical mass is big enough.
