Been getting alerts as expected about over-limit transactions. But today spent 25 minutes trying to chat with Aura support. Could not upload a .csv file -"unsupported file type". 1st "specialist" (after 'bot) "did not understand" my clear, repeated "cannot upload .csv file" She hung up the chat after I replied 3 times. Submitted 1 star rating, tried again. 2nd "specialist" requested detail. I provided error msg. She responded I should call support line, 8 AM to 9 PM. Submitted another 1 star rating. Called support line, (noon), was on hold waiting for "next available specialist" exactly 1 hr 5 sec, then call disconnected. Not 24/7 support! 1 1/2 hrs, no help.

I did the 14 day trail to give it a try, when I canceled on the 13th Day they charged me the $129.60. There tech support was no help. I would not recommend. Stay away if you like your hard earned money.

I started Aura, then I read a lot of Aura customer remarks for the past few months on their website, and most of the reviewers had a lot of problems. So I went to cancel my membership after only being a member for less than 10 minutes, and they charged my card, and said I will have a membership paid for until Nov 29th No refunds. That is card THEFT BY DECEPTION my mistake on taking other companies reviews a SCAM

Beware, they are not honoring the free trial. Began exploring a signup and one the first things they ask for is your credit card. They apparently bill it instantly. Once I got to the application stage where they were asking me for all my financial login info, I decided this was not a good idea and aborted the signup, yet I still was billed and they refuse to refund.

Check your math in the pricing info above regarding individual plans, Ultimate, Annually $240($30/month) should be $240($20/month), looks dumb.

I was attracted to Aura Identity Protection because it advertised 24/7 customer service. I live with my sister and called 8:00AM this morning to ask if the $22 month couple rate would cover myself and my sister. The person answering sounded like they were half asleep and had a heavy accent. She told me she would have to check and get back to me. I hung up. Seems to me Aura's 24/7 customer service is just another after business hours call center.
