MalaysianCupid Review July 2021

Signing up for MalaysianCupid may be lengthy. You need to use your email address to create a new account. You may also use your Facebook account to register. After that, you will be asked to upload your profile photo. This, as per MalaysianCupid, will ensure you ten times the attention.

Next is the personality test. It starts with you writing a brief description of you and the person you are looking for on the website. Appear in more search results or find more matches when you complete your profile. Editing your profile comes in seven sections: Photos, Profile, Match, Interest, Personality, CupidTags, and Verify Profile. 

One to notice is the CupidTags section. Pick five words from the pool of popular CupidTags and click ‘Submit’. By setting up five CupidTags, your matches multiply.

In the photos section, you are encouraged to upload at least five photos. While the profile section includes more questions about you, the match section contains the questions about your match. Interest and personality sections have more questions about you. The last section, which is Verify Profile, is an identity confirmation wherein you will attach any of the following government-issued IDs: passport, driver’s license, or National ID Card.

After completing your profile, you will be taken to the home page where you will see online members. Every picture includes the name, age, country, the gender of the match, and that person’s age range.

Upon logging in, the home page will lead you to the first special feature: the online members. Browse the page, send interest, or add to favourites as a standard member.

All the other special features also work for non-paying members. The second feature is the link to your matches. It is a simple catalogue of your matches’ profile photo, age, location, and the person he/she seeks. There is a button below each photo for instant messaging. However, sending and receiving messages require a gold or platinum subscription.  During our test, we received zero messages as a standard member.

Live chat is also a communication function exclusive for paying subscribers. If you are a platinum member, you will be ranked above the standard and gold members.

Another feature is the activity page where you will find the members’ activities towards you and you towards them. It shows the interests you received, the members who added you to their favourites, and your profile visitors. It also monitors your activities on interests, favourites, and visits.

Also found on top of your home page is a quick search for matches. You can modify the gender, age, country, state/province, city, and the distance range, and then hit ‘Search’. 

Even if you are only a standard member, you can read everything about other members’ information. You can easily take note of their age, location, country and the gender they seek. You can also view all their uploaded pictures.

We did not have a hard time finding information about other members. It is very well enumerated from their basic information to their whole body appearance, their everyday lifestyle, religion, favourites – on food, movie, book, music, dress style, etc. We saw the same set of information with the other users. It is written in a table form with two columns. On the left column is about that member and on the right column is about that member’s match preference.

You can opt to block or report a user. Both actions can be found alongside the buttons ‘show interest’, ‘send message’, and ‘add to favourites’. You will be asked to choose the reason, write a comment and attach your evidence about the abuse.

Filter your matches in another fun feature the website calls ‘CupidTags’. In here, you will set up five words that best describe you. Upon submitting these to MalaysianCupid, you will see the members that tagged the same CupidTags as you. Thus, you can find more members that describe themselves like you.

You can start talking to members via instant messenger when you upgrade your account to Gold. Aside from this, you can make video calls. Another privilege of Gold members is having no ads while using the dating website. They can also hide their profile and browse anonymously.

Platinum members get all the perks of being a MalaysianCupid user.  Not only can they exercise those advantages of Gold members but also they may rank above the other members, double their profile space, get a VIP Profile highlight, enjoy exclusive search features, experience advanced matching algorithms, and translate messages to any language.  

This website, upon upgrading to any of those premiums, automatically renews your subscription when it expires. This is so that there is continued access to all the benefits of a being a premium subscriber. But you can turn the auto-renewal off easily on the websites billing menu.

The dating site has a refund policy that guarantees its members their money back by writing to team@MalaysianCupid.com about this concern and attaching the relevant information and supporting documents.

You can get a credit refund when the following happens:

• Your account is experiencing technical problems
• The site has been unavailable for an unacceptable period or has been experiencing technical problems which have impaired your ability to use your membership
• You request a refund prior to initiating or receiving contact with any member

There are no partial refunds for your unused credits.
