VietnamCupid Review January 2020

You can register for a VietnamCupid account with no frills. The registration is just a 2-step process. Every registrant is given the option to sign-up with their email or to join via Facebook, which is faster and easier. Even if you register for a VietnamCupid account via Facebook, it will not post anything on your behalf. 

Anyone can join VietnamCupid for free, but you must be already of legal age or older. Yet, if you want to make the most out of your online dating experience, you may opt to subscribe to VietnamCupid's premium memberships (Gold and Platinum).

VietnamCupid offers various search options. You can perform a basic or an advanced search; you also have the option to search for friendship, marriage, penpal, or someone whom you can have a romantic date with. Aside from that, you can narrow your search by appearance, lifestyle, or background/cultural values as well. 

However, Standard members may not fully enjoy VietnamCupid's messaging feature because they can only exchange messages with paying members; messaging between two standard members is locked. Still, even if messaging is limited and commenting on photos is not free, there are other features that Standard members may use to make the first move in establishing a connection with other members. Such features include showing interest and adding other members to your 'favorites' list. 

Most of the profiles are detailed. They provide useful and interesting information about the users. In a member's profile, you can see whether the profile owner is online or not. Likewise, you can see when the owner was last active.

The profile information of a VietnamCupid's member can be translated to either English or Vietnamese language. Some of the personal details that can be seen in a member's profile are his/her employment status, annual income, home type (apartment/flat, condominium, farm, house, or townhouse), living situation (living alone, with family, with friends, with kids, or with spouse), and the profile owner's English and Vietnamese language ability.

VietnamCupid's members can update his/her profile anytime. However, not all profiles are detailed and informative because it is up to the profile owner as to how detailed his/her profile would be. 

Subscription plans and their corresponding fees are located at the "Upgrade Membership" page. These subscription fees are subject to change, which changes will be posted on the page of the website previously described. Any free trial or other promotion that provides free access to the paid services must be used within the specified time of the trial.

Your membership will be automatically renewed. You can opt-out of auto-renewal at any time. If you have not opted out, then, the subscription will be auto-renewed for the periods stated. You can cancel auto-renewal by following the instructions in the Help section of the website. Gold and Platinum memberships are automatically renewed. But you also have the option to stop the auto-renewal of your premium membership anytime by clicking "Billing" from the Settings menu on your profile page. Then click "No" beside "Auto-renew my membership?", and click "Save."

Paying subscribers are divided into Gold and Platinum members, with only the latter being able to access advanced matching, translate messages, add notes to profiles, and highlight their profile in search results.

The site can change the price for a subscription anytime. The new rate takes effect if you apply for a new subscription (whether or not it is your first subscription) after the site has posted the details of the new price on the site. Auto-renewals of existing subscription will continue at the old price.

In the event of suspicious payment activity, the site may temporarily or permanently suspend payment via your credit card and/or contact you, your bank or any other relevant third party to report such unusual activity and/or obtain additional information.

In order to provide customer support, perform back-office functions, perform fraud prevention tasks or provide services to you, the site may need to allow their staff or suppliers who may be located or whose resources may be located outside your country of residence access to your Personal Data.
