Does Tinder’s secret admirer really work?

It seems that for the majority of users, the secret admirer feature on Tinder is not that effective in matching with the right person. However, others enjoy it because it’s fun and there is always the hope to get that right match, isn’t it?

Also, some users reported that they got the same person a few times in a row after choosing a secret admirer card, even though they had previously swiped left on them.

In addition, although Tinder claims you have 4 secret admirer cards to choose from, some users were promoted with the message ‘Better luck next time. Do you want to unlock Tinder Gold?’, indicating that they made the wrong choice.
