Good site
I like the website and have been learning alot. There are a ton of subjects and I feel all the material is up to date and very informative.
I've been learning 100x more than I was at my school ITTech.. now there is a scam if you want to check that joke of a school out, they drained me for my whole GI bill almost. Yeah it costs money all these cheap bastards knocking the site, because they got charged. I've never dealt with the customer service so I cannot comment on that.
It clearly says 10 day free trial for premium. Been paying for premium for 2 months and will continue to do so...thanks lynda.com!
Lynda - Membership Review from Nonthaburi, Nonthaburi
I can't even sign into my account
I set up an account today, and had to set up a linkedin account to do so. I can sign into my linkedin account and change my password a thousand times but can't sign into lynda.com on my computer.
It works fine on my phone though.
this is the shadiest thing I've seen on a website. Oh...and I guess I have to enter at least 100 words....so I'll just say I have been a member for exactly two hours and already know through experience that I'll be visiting Bank of America tomorrow to tell them to never allow a charge from this website because from what I can read from other complaints it's one of those never ending charges to your account that you can never cancel...Free my butt....as usual, everything that sounds too good to be true is too good to be true.....I'm trying to learn more about Ableton live recording and I should just give my money to a respected institution instead of watching ridiculous videos of people with awful accents that I can hardly understand.

Lynda - Review in Education category from Secunderabad, Andhra Pradesh
Cost of membership hidden
Charging money saying it as free trail
Very Unhappy With Lynda.com
Really don't care for the pressure selling tactics
When LinkedIn bought Lynda.com, it offered a trial to its members. I tried it and I didn't like it. As an Instructional Designer, I have little confidence in talk-and-teach videos as an effective learning aid. So, I just decoupled Lynda.com from my PayPal account to prevent a recurring charge sneaking past me. Since then, I have received about two dozen nags from Lynda.com - sometimes as many as three an hour. Even though this happened:
"We’re writing because after several attempts, we were unable to charge your account to renew your lynda.com membership. Often this happens if your card has expired or your account number has changed.
As a result, your lynda.com account has been deactivated—but we saved your playlists and course history for you. To continue learning, update your billing information and reactivate your account."
I'm still getting the nagging e-mails and no opportunity to explain that I DO NOT CARE FOR THEIR PRODUCTS AND I DO NOT WISH TO BE THEIR CUSTOMER.

Count your lucky stars that you cannot sign in to Lynda, com. they would have kept on on adding monthly fees to your credit card even after you cancell your courses.
I just hope that the Big institutions become quickly aware of their scams.Lets keep denouncing Linda.com and Linkedin..
