Is Gartner Subscription fraud?

• Subscriptions: Many customers sign up for annual subscriptions to access research reports, webinars, or market insights, which can lead to charges.
• Trial Periods: Some users report being charged after a free trial period ended without cancellation.
• Service Upgrades: Charges may occur if users upgrade to a premium service or add features to their existing account.
• Account Maintenance Fees: Regular account maintenance or service fees may apply depending on the user's plan.
• Consulting Services: Customers might incur charges for one-on-one consultations or advisory services provided by Gartner experts.
• Hidden Fees: Some users indicate unexpected fees related to specific reports or exclusive content that weren't clearly communicated during the signup process.
• Purchase of Individual Reports: Users occasionally purchase individual reports or documents, which will reflect as charges on their accounts.
• Renewals: Automatic renewals for subscriptions may result in unexpected charges if users forget to cancel.

If you see this charge and aren’t expecting it, you have various options.

First, try to contact the gartner.com via one of the support methods we listed below and inquire about the charge. See if they will refund it and cancel any associated subscriptions you might have.

If the gartner.com refused to issue a refund or you cannot get in touch with the company, call your bank or financial institution and open a credit card dispute. Record screenshot evidence from your prior conversations with gartner.com, and use that to open your credit card dispute. Tell your bank or credit card issuer that you do not recognize the charge and do not recall signing up for the service.

If this sounds like too much of a hassle, you can have Chargeback do it for you.
