I started using my Yahoo email again recently. After a couple weeks, I saw an advert for Yahoo Plus and decided to try it because of all the ads and other perks offered by Plus. Signed up for the trial, never could find "Yahoo Plus" in order to start using it. I called Yahoo and you would absolutely not believe the cluster-f of a conversation I had with some guy who clearly had no clue about the product or how to help. I will leave that alone, not wishing to relive it or inflict it upon anyone else
So I checked my bank statement today, and sure enough they charged my account the $5 per month. Still have no way of actually using Yahoo Plus. It's simply not there.
Send me good thoughts today while I call Yahoo and attempt to get some real answers this time. I may have to call my bank and have the deduction blocked if Yahoo is unable (unwilling?!) to help.
Update: well, it seems once they charged me I was able to click and sign in to Plus without any problems. Sheesh. Never was able to use the so-called "trial". I'm going to inform Yahoo that I want a $5 credit for the non-existent 14-day trial, and in particular because of the unbelievable cluster-f of a conversation I had for over 30 mins. without a resolution.

During the so-called "trial" I was unable to click on anything at all in order to access Plus. As soon as my account was charged, it appeared. So much for the purported 14-day "trial".
As for ads, they are now not showing. I have Yahoo Plus for Mail.

What is the purpose of this post? It doesn't address the OP's situation. I had a similar problem in trying to sign up for Yahoo Plus. There's no way to cancel once you sign up (this makes it look like a scam), and once you provide your cc info, you get a window that says Yahoo Plus isn't functional right now. So I, too, had to call my cc company to see if I was charged after the 2-week free period. I wasn't, but the OP was.
Yes, of course it's ok for general information. That page did me no good when I looked at it after starting the trial. Or I should say, none of those pages (links).
I've wondered about uBlock Origin. I'll check it out. Apparently Plus has other perks, listed on the page that Paul linked. Ability to organize better, and other things.
And now... ads are coming in again on my email. Yahoo clearly needs to get it together.
I have had Yahoo mail (no plus) for 25 years. I get no ads because I use uBlock Origin (also free).
What's that?(bolded) It sounds miraculous. I hate most of those ads (the Chinese ones and Temu).
