Account won’t process my donation.

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

Unfortunately, nothing happened. Over and over your company made full circles w/o ever addressing the problem.

No solutions or redress.

This has never happened before so I cant imagine what the holdup is about.

I have given up trying to donate.

As I have explained numerous times I no longer am interested in going over all the setbacks I had.

Pros:
  • No problems
  • Until now

Preferred solution: Ability to donate.

Donation refund complaint

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

Im still waiting for a refund of the $100 I contributed to the Platner campaign prior to his dropping out based on information I didnt know at the time of my decision. I never would have contributed under those circumstances.

Act Blue is making too many donation...

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

Act Blue is making too many donation payouts. Act Blue is paying out twice the donations I have made. They are impossible to get a hold of and get corrections made

Loss:
$500
Cons:
  • Very difficult to contact

Preferred solution: Full refund

User's recommendation: check your credit card closely for duplicate donations

Inquiring about my information being sold

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

I was not able to speak with a live person but only to leave a voicemail. I feel that my info has been sold.

Pros:
  • Platform is good
Cons:
  • Buy text and email
  • Too many politicians are begging me for donations

Preferred solution: I feel like my personal info has been sold or given to people running for office. They are stuffing my email and text for donations, and I am broke.

User's recommendation: Make sure you tell them NOT to sell or release my personal information to politicians to harass me for donations.

To get off their spamming lists

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

Despite blocking them as soon as they come in, I get multiple text messages a day from Democratic candidates. I will not donate another dollar to Democrats until this spamming is stopped.

Preferred solution: Permanent end to text messages from Democratic candidates

User's recommendation: If you donate to a democratic candidate you are asking to be spammed by multiple text messages per day by future candidates. Unsubscribing and blocking senders will not stop the spamming

Stop texts to my mobile phone

Updated by user Jun 23, 2026

I could not talk to anyone on the phone. I am still receiving texts from Act Blue political numbers.

I was requesting that those texts not be sent to me any more. Please stop them by taking my number out of the texting list in all locations.

Original review Jun 21, 2026

I am unsubscribing from each text coming from political candidates through ActBlue, and the texts continue coming to me anyway. I want to stop receiving this constant barrage of texts. Now!

Wrong charge

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

I see a $100 charge for Bernard Taylor, and it seems recurrent. I did contribute to Dr. Abdul Sayed, but not to Bernard Taylor. Please stop that contribution and reimburse me.

Thank you

I’m tired of you sending my phone number to candidates I will never donate to you ever again

Act blue is impenetrable. Once you send money to them, they give your information to all the candidates for Congress and other fundraisers.

I get text all day every day and I have to respond with stop, but they dont stop.

I called them to have them remove me from the list and they said that they cant do that. Why should I ever send money again?

User's recommendation: If you send money, you will be contacted constantly by other people

Unauthorized charges

I do not recognize some donations, and I don't want PayPal in the mix. Act Blue seems to cooperate in the refund, but I guess I need to guess to whom the donation goes.

Pros:
  • We can give to a cause we support but the statement needs to identify to whom the donation goes
Cons:
  • Identify the cause for which you donated

Preferred solution: Full refund

User's recommendation: Be careful of your method of payment. PayPal hijacks the charge card you say is preferred method of payment. I am ok with charge card being used, not PayPal so they can make a profit

I have no idea what you’re asking for here. I am telling you I will never donate again if someone doesn’t get in touch with me.

AI Highlights
  • - Stop the $50 recurring donation; nothing else should be canceled or charged.
  • - Wants a live representative to call; cannot use ActBlue, email, or chat.

I accidentally hit recurring donation of $50. I want this stopped.

I dont wanna cancel anything I dont wanna be charged for anything I want to speak to a person. I will give my phone number and thats it.

I cannot read act blue because I have not received any ability to contact someone and I am not good at using email or chats. Please call me at ***.

User's recommendation: At this time, I find it impossible to contact someone by phone. I am not good at doing emails and I must’ve accidentally hit recurring donations. I am waiting for someone to call me and if they can’t call me by phone this is ***
