I have been trying to purchase a paid Recruiter Lite subscription on LinkedIn for several WEEKS. Despite having a valid card (which works on other platforms), the system fails to process the payment — no clear error, just failure.I reached out to LinkedIn Support to resolve what should be a simple billing issue. Over the course of 10+ replies, they consistently:Misunderstood the request,Closed the case several times after a copy-paste answer. Cleared the whole history of cases. "Oooops, it seems like if there's nothing there"! Sent me unrelated links about Sales Navigator or free trials (after I published the case on X.com to push them to do anything)Gave me generic instructions for subscribing (which, again, do not work in my case).I even attached screenshots of the failed payment screen and clearly explained that I am not asking for free access, but actively trying to pay.After escalating, I received yet another irrelevant canned response pointing me to the Recruiter Lite landing page — something I had obviously already tried.LinkedIn offers expensive professional tools and markets them as essential for recruiters, yet they are unable to process a basic payment or provide access to human support with minimal comprehension skills.Summary:If you ever run into a technical or billing issue with LinkedIn's products — good luck. Their support is scripted, unresponsive, and unable to resolve even the most basic payment failures.
