I will always be a Republican and vote for Republican candidate. But I didn't like getting too many messages from WinRed. Just count on my vote but don't pester me so often. Thanks

Winter is questionable!

This organization is sending upwards of 20-30 texts per day. Some of the texts are threatening such as “you’ll regret ignoring us,” and once your MAGA status doesn’t renew, you will never be able to get it back.” I would love for President Trump to know how they are attempting to get donations. Twice I donated and they did not renew my MAGA status. I’m starting to think they are not honest at all!

No star would be appropriate

No star would be appropriate. They are rip off masters and stole my money, They ran me in circles trying to get a refund for a t shirt they said I was chosen to receive but pay $31.23 donation for it. I always wanted Trump coffee mugs so I proceeded to buy 2. Total for mugs came out to $78.08. I never received an order confirmation and the items were not received by me. I cannot get a response from them so I opened a dispute with my credit card co. They then responded by saying that since I opened a dispute they cannot refund the amounts to me because they are considered a donation and had I asked for my donation to be refunded they would have at once credited my account at once. Since at this point in time I have been conned out of my money close to $100.00 sending the t shirt and coffee mugs to me would be the decent thing to do. I want nothing more to do with WinRed. They should be an embarrasment to the Republican Party. Wake up ...Stay Away,

I'm an Emergency Responder

I'm an Emergency Responder. WINRED sent me 20-30 texts a day for a year. They refuse to Unsubscribe anyone. They abuse the entire country to make a buck. The politician is kept in the dark. Your voters will despise you if you hire them. I had to file complaints with the FBI and FEC and La. AG.

Winred too many texts, poor support.

Winred sends TOO MANY texts, 20 or more a day is not unusual. I've sent a request SEVERAL TIMES for a link to reset my password, and have so far gotten NO response. Sometimes I'm pretty sure you charge multiple times, despite clicking the "one time" button. I've given money and the VERY NEXT TEXT says "Are you a Democrat?"

Spam texts every single day

I get multiple texts per day that are associated with WinRed. They come from Donald Trump, Don Jr, Vance, etc. I have replied STOP to 40+ different numbers all texting me WinRed links with ridiculous inflammatory messages.

WinRed says those texts come from the individual campaigns. Fine. But you control the donation sites and have all the authority to hold them accountable for exploitation and harassment.

They took a donation without my permission

They took a donation. Without my permission. They did give the money back eventually. I told them to cancel my account and stop sending g texts. I get about 10 a day still. The texts they are sending are lies! I do not trust this company at all.

WinRed is a cancer

WinRed is a cancer. I'm sorry I ever donated a single penny, but I will NEVER AGAIN give them another cent. About 1,300 text messages ago, I asked them to stop sending their spam to me. They won't stop. Stay as far away from these assholes as you can, never give them anything.

A “zero $ ask” survey that forced me to pay $75

It started with a text, starting with “A yes or no. Zero $ ask.” I followed the link, answered the 2 questions, wrote a comment, and then saw that the only way to submit the survey was to either click on Applepay or pay with card. And they had already selected $75 as amount of payment, and checked a box that used word salad to say the payment would be reoccurring monthly. So much for Zero dollar ask.

So I unclicked the 75, and entered a zero in the “other amount” box. Could no longer pay or otherwise move forward. So went back and deleted the zero, at put 0.1 as the amount. Again, couldn’t pay or move forward. Tried again, this time I didn’t enter anything in the other amount . And clicked on Apple pay. It went to the next page, asking me to confirm a payment of $75. And there was no back button either.

I thought what in the world? And I took a screenshot, by pressing the side button and home button of my ipad. I did not click anything, just took a screenshot. As soon as I did, it went to the next page, saying thank you for your payment of $75. Would you also be willing to pay for a processing fee, and suggested $20.

I was flabbergasted. I looked for a number to call, to ask for a refund. Could not find one. Only the option to send an email. Which means they have now mined my email too, and I am likely to start getting bombarded on email they way they have been bombarding me with texts on a daily basis. And no indication of when they may or may not get back to me. This is not okay.

This is misrepresentation at best, luring people in by blatantly lying to them, and then taking money that the people did not authorize to give through deceptive automated means. It is unethical and unbecoming of a political party, and a scam. And judging from complaints online, they’ve done it repeatedly. How is this legal?

Corruption IS Winred

I am an independent that votes conservative most of the time. I donate to candidates from time to time , but directly to candidate…NEVER through Winred! I have no idea who owns or runs Winred; however, if I were a candidate, I would avoid them like the plague. Association with Winred actually decreases your chance of being elected, as they are considered a very corrupt organization. Avoid them at all costs!

WINRED is a scam

My WInRed account was hacked due to the non-existent security of how these texts are sent. WinRed support continues to ignore my complaint of HACK, while members of the NRSC continue to insult me for non-response. I have begged for my account to be canceled because the hacker has control. It is the only way to stop misuse of the account by the hacker called "Robert". Yet, all WinRed does is to waste password reset messages that cannot get to me.

Disgustingly deceptive company

I have contacted this company over and over and over again about charging my credit cards. This company is a leach and no matter when I change my credit cards. They find out my new credit card and they continue to charge.

This is why I don’t support anymore Republicans just because this company is so disgustingly sneaky and stealing my funds so now I have to go to the bank and I have to trace everyone back and have the bank do a charge back because this company is run by scumbags

deceptive practices

I would give a negative review if it were possible. i dontated to donald trump one time and have been charged a reoccurring "donation" ever since. this is a fraudulent and deceptive organization and i will be discussing this issue with an attorney. be aware that clicking the one-time donation does not mean they will not sign you up for monthly automatic donations.

Two Years of Spam!

The endless spam from spoofed phone numbers are so incessant that it's preventing me from keeping up with messages from my family! Stop messaging me!

This has been constant since mid 2023!
