Top Actblue Reviews
"ACTBLUE took money out of peoples credit card accounts without permission . I experienced this more than once. BEWARE of this scam dot com. They take OVER 3% commission without transparency."
Do not use ACTBLUE. They are not transparent about the 3% plus commission and unauthorized deductions from your account once they have your credit card number....

Ticket
I need to talk to an actual person. In the future, if you are holding an event, it would be a great idea to have someone available to talk with on the day of the event. If you, as the Democratic Party, ever want my money or support again, call me at 712-260-****; otherwise, I'll be voting red!

Verified ReviewerResolved: Incorrect donation amount of $20 that I intended to give and got a receipt for 2000 even though I never hit the send button to try and prevent that
This app is very difficult. I have gone through and described the erroneous $2000 donation that shouldve been $20 over and over again.
When I saw the air at the end where it said I was gonna make a $2000 donation.
I did not hit send because I knew I did not want to make a $2000 donation when I intended to make a $20 donation. This has really stressed me out And I find it very difficult to try and correct the Air whereas its very difficult to give Act Blue money but now its very difficult to get this error corrected.
User's recommendation: Don’t use Act Blue

SupporterDo *NOT* Donate to these sleazebags
Do NOT - under any circumstances - donate money to these scammers. They're not in the least bit interested in supporting your cause, they're focused on siphoning money out of your pockets.
So I donated some money to a worthy cause through Actblbue. Ever since, they've been spamming my text app every.single.day.
You can reply stop, you can block the number, but the next day they'll just spam you again from a different number.
I contacted them and asked them to stop, and they just gave me a song and dance about how they shared my number with their partners. I don't remember giving them permission to do that.
Yo! ActBlue!
Every time you spam me I'll donate $20 to the Republican Party in your name. Can you hear me now?
- Giving your number out and taking a cut of your donation
Preferred solution: Apology
User's recommendation: Donate directly to the organization you want to support, Actblue takes a piece of your donation besides giving your number out.

This has nothing to do with the operation of this company. The reason for my cancellation is that my husband has passed, and I don't have the funds any longer.

Verified ReviewerThey charged me more than I agreed upon
They asked for a quick $15 contribution. They then also asked for $4 more to cover something.
That comes to $19, right? I agreed.
They then slapped my card with a $31 charge. It feels underhanded.
