GAMEFLY equals USELESS and CLUELESS! 6 years and they get worse every year. I wish a Co. would pop up and destroy them at a lower price while showing them how to do it with happy customers. HIGH PRICES / LOW SERVICE!

They used to have some people that (with some careful coaxing) would fix the issues they cause with SLOW SHIPPING and NOT SHIPPING a damn game or other things they screwed up.

I swear CHAT is based out of India now. You can't get them on the phone like years ago. Their brainless drones that you are forced to talk to are best at copying and pasting in canned useless responses like (I'm sorry for your experience, we do apologize for the inconvenience. Is there anything else we can NOT help you with?) That's their favorite one. They do nothing!

FRUSTRATING CLOWNS! A monkey could do their job. DISGUSTED WITH TERRIBLE SERVICE AND LACK OF CS HELP. INCOMPETENT AND WORTHLESS IS AN UNDERSTANTMENT! BURN IN HELL YOU CROOKS!

On June 9, 2014, I to take advantage of a sale that they had going on. My address and not yet been updated for my credit card billing address as I moved a year previously. When I tried to update my address, the system refused to allow it. Multiple attempts at trying to correct the address for their system put my credit card on a 24-hour hold and I could no longer take advantage of the sale. I emailed the company 3 times and the only response I got back was that the rationale for their turning them my credit card was because of the wrong address and multiple attempts. It was a stupid answer is all I was time to do was correct the address. Now almost 2 months later still attempting to correct the address they have on file, the system will not allow you to change the address of an existing credit card they have on file. They claim to have high security measures, however will not allow the customer to correct their own information. Despite attempts at calling and emailing, they will not respond and I have been a customer for several years buying many downloads and rentals from them.

Ever since GameFly bought Direct2Drive, the $15 I spent on Dynasty Warriors 4 Hyper has been essentially stolen from me. I paid for it and downloaded it on a previous computer. I have had a new one for a while now but I cannot download it. All I get is a message saying "We're in the process of making this game available to download. Please check back soon." in regards to my purchase. I have tried to reach support about making the game available sooner, but I have gotten no response most of the time, and when I do get a response, it tells me nothing more than what they've already told me. They have been in the process of making Dynasty Warriors 4 Hyper available to download for ALMOST THREE YEARS. Direct2Drive was great, but GameFly ruined everything by making mysself and tons of other customers lose games because they felt they should be taken down for some reason. I'm never getting my game back, and there's no way to get my money back either. I guess GameFly will never have any more of my money.

I cancelled my gamefly account after 6 days of use(shipping response / turnaround was too slow) under the mistaken pretense that A) I would receive a partial refund for the loss of 24 days of service or that B) I would be able to continue my paid for service until the 30th day. Unfortunately neither was the case. I contacted their customer support to request a reinstatement of my account and got the following response: "Thank you for contacting GameFly. Please note that all cancellations are effective immediately and GameFly does not offer prorated refunds." So not only did I make a mistake but they basically stole money from me at the same time. This was an extremely rude response considering I only received 2 games during the 6 days of service and 1 of the games I ended up purchasing! I will never rent games from them again and please take warning when dealing with this company. Their customers are obviously not important.

I recently canceled my account while still having a game out. Got an email from you guys telling me to just return my game within 7 days for a refund of 1 month. I sent it in the next day, got my refund. Then 2 days later I was charged for another month of your service and shipped another game. I've checked your website I'm still not a member so fix this garbage I will just deactivate my card if I get charged again.

I purchased a download on GameFly on Sunday. Also ordered some stuff from Amazon. The Amazon package arrived Tuesday morning, but I still don't have access to the download on Wednesday afternoon. The support ticket prompted an automated reply (after well more than 24 hours) with links to some random faq articles. So much for their claim that "a Technical Support Specialist will respond personally to your inquiry in 24 hours or less."

Everywhere else, this is an automated process. I purchase a download, the moment I hit the "checkout" button, I have access to the game. I cannot understand why this simply doesn't work on GameFly.

I'm frustrated with the order/download process and equally frustrated with their support (which apparently consists only of the 'Ryan' chat bot who doesn't help, and automated mail replies that don't help, either). Guess I won't order there again.

I purchased a game(or tried to), from Gamefly Digital. They have charged $1.00 to my debit card several times, yet have not gone ahead with the actual transaction. I am beginning to worry that I got jipped now. They do not respond to any emails, and calling them on the phone is an insulting timesink.

I recently "purchased" Civilization 5: Gold Edition from GameFly. I never agreed to the purchase at the end, didn't confirm it.
I got an e-mail saying it was pending, and figured all was well because I never completed the PayPal purchase.
The next day, to my surprise, it had gone through. I e-mailed their customer service about getting a refund, and they informed be they "confirmed the purchase with my mother."
I haven't lived with my mother in a year.
They took a few days to get back to me, too.

I downloaded a game from their site and was not given a serial number so I am unable to play. The only contact they provide on their site is an email. Terrible customer support. And to the 'official response' team . . . let me save you some typing and copy paste the following for you:
