Transparency

To begin with, I’d say that I truly hate writing blogs. Frankly, I never understood why people write blogs and who in the world would even bother reading, unless there’s something uniquely informative about it – like this one…. Oh well, I got the order from the boss (i.e. “Santa”) to write this blog and so I’ll do it, like any good elf.

And the subject of today’s post, my little minions, is transparency. Anyone of you who has ever tried a traditional dating site will tell you how much more transparent SantaMatch is compared to those dating sites (we will not mention by name). There’s a reason for that. SantaMatch was designed to take the hassle out of online dating, and a part of it is by making the site as transparent as possible. Here are a few examples (but not all because I am not Dostoyevsky):

1. Did you ever notice that on traditional dating sites you have to dig 9 pages deep and search with candle light to find the cost? Just look at the home page of SantaMatch and you will see the difference – we have nothing to hide. After all, it costs 90%-98% (!) less and provides a superior experience.

2. No questionable billing practices. We do not have auto-renewals – a practice common among most dating sites. In fact, even if you asked for it, we don’t offer that choice. That means at the end of the approval term (which is a standard 1 year) you can wait as long as you want to get approved if you wish so but you won’t have any surprises on your credit card report. We also do not have free trial periods which require your credit card and charge it at the end of the free trial. Many of these singles who got burned in the past by these kind of billing practices are many times surprised how simple and affordable it is at SantaMatch and how straight forward the site is.

3. SantaMatch is the only relationship site that tags profiles that are suspected to be inactive. What do we mean by “suspected”? Because there is no way of knowing. These are profiles of valid members (i.e. members who did not cancel their accounts) who for some reason didn’t check their mailbox for a couple of weeks. There can be a few reasons for that (for example, member is not getting our notifications for some reasons)  and many times those members become active again. Either way, that’s another hassle that we save our members.

4. We spend a significant part of our resources and time to fight the plague known as the Nigerian scam/scum to save you from having to deal with those low-lives. Small, less known dating sites will typically have hoards of scam profiles because they help them fool people into paying. No such thing at SantaMatch. We spend a significant part of our time and resources to fight that cesspool, and although they are rarely approved so you can easily avoid them, we still don’t want our members to become prey to those wretched criminals. This is a subject for another blog post but either way, if you only knew how much effort we make to weed out those scumbags, you’d probably appreciate SantaMatch even more. It’s not as simple as you might think – most African countries are blocked from accessing SantaMatch but the scammers use proxy servers and possibly even full time employees in the US to keep creating those fake profiles that we delete (we believe we delete about 99% of them before any of you even gets to see them – the rest are flagged by you folks and get deleted).

Anyway, enough for now, I think you are getting the gist of it: SantaMatch has the highest transparency of any dating site that you may have tried and please challenge us if it’s not the case.
