We’re so confident that you’ll meet someone special in six months that we’ve backed it up with a promise: If you do not find someone special by the end of your six-month subscription, we’ll give you another six months for free. It’s easy to be eligible*:
Post an approved searchable profile and primary photo.
Communicate with at least 5 different people each month.
We’ll automatically email your status to you monthly, so you don’t have to keep track of your eligibility. Sign up to receive the announcements.**
*Additional conditions apply. Details follow.
Requirements to Qualify for Our 6-Month Promise
You must be a U.S. subscriber who has signed up for a Yahoo! Personals six-month subscription on or after May 22, 2008.
You must post an approved, searchable profile for the entire time of your paid six-month subscription.
You must display an approved primary photo for the entire time of your paid six-month subscription. A caption is not required.
Using the Yahoo! Personals email feature, you must contact at least five different people each month during your paid six-month subscription. Initiating an email conversation or replying to an email counts toward the monthly minimum figure. Icebreakers do not count. If you contact more than five different people in one month, the additional people do not count toward the monthly minimum of subsequent months. A month is defined as 30 consecutive days. As a record, you must keep your “sent” emails for at least 31 days after you send them.
You cannot cancel your paid six-month subscription at any time while it is in effect.
If you did not find someone special by the time your paid six-month subscription ended and you believe you are eligible for our 6-Month Promise, you must contact Yahoo! Customer Carei by email within the 10-day period before your subscription automatically renews. (We will send you a reminder email about the renewal process.) You have one opportunity to discuss your eligibility with Yahoo! Customer Care, whose determination about your eligibility for the 6-Month Promise is final.
If you are eligible for our 6-Month Promise, you must use it immediately after your paid six-month subscription ends. Time cannot lapse between your paid subscription and the free six months.
**Emails From Us About Our 6-Month Promise
As long as you remain eligible for our 6-Month Promise during your paid six-month subscription, we will send you a monthly email stating your eligibility status. These emails will be the sole notification of your status. To receive the emails, you must choose to receive our free marketing communications; you may need to change your marketing preferences to receive announcements from Yahoo! Personals.
If you become ineligible for our 6-Month Promise during your paid six-month subscription, we will send you an email stating why and what you can do if you think your ineligibility is an error.
If you are eligible for and receive our 6-Month Promise, your subscription will auto-renew and revert to a paid subscription at the end of your free six months. When your free six-month subscription is about to end, we will send you an email that states your options for canceling your subscription or continuing with a paid subscription.
Your Privacy Is Important to Us
To determine your eligibility for our 6-Month Promise, each month we count how many different people you have emailed using the Yahoo! Personals email feature, but we do not read the contents of the emails.
Subscribers with a one-year subscription (no longer available), three-month subscription, or one-month subscription
Non-U.S. subscribers
Premier subscribers
Paid six-month subscribers who otherwise meet the requirements but who cancel their subscription to avoid the automatic renewal
U.S. subscribers who signed up for a six-month subscription before our 6-Month Promise was offered on May 22, 2008, and have had a continuous subscription since they signed up
