Older terms charge 100% at 60 days or less. Customers report up to 10 working days for a cancellation review, so send written notice well before the 84-day cutoff.

What happens to what you’ve already paid
Trip deposits: once you submit the booking form, the deposit is non-refundable. It's held as transferable credit under the 'Lifetime Deposit Guarantee', and older terms say it's refundable only if you never submitted the form. Trip package balance: cancel with 84+ days' notice and you pay a 50% fee, with the rest returned as store credit valid for 2 years, not cash. Older terms charge 100% inside 60 days of arrival. Flights and insurance bought through Global can only become Travel Credit. Separately, the Job Match Guarantee promises a full refund of the trip cost, minus inclusions you used, if no job match is found during the included accommodation period. Global argues that arranging one interview meets this guarantee.
“if you give us 84* days notice you can do so with only a 50% cancellation fee.”

What doesn’t work for cancelling Global Work & Travel
Based on 8 sources, Reddit, app reviews, and direct testing. Skip these and save yourself the loop.
- ✕ Asking for your deposit back within hours or a day of booking, Many customers who cancelled within 8 to 48 hours were told the deposit was non-refundable because the booking form had been submitted. Global points to the tick-box agreement rather than any cooling-off period.
- ✕ Relying on what the sales consultant promised on the phone, Reviewers say verbal promises (flights included, refunds 'no problem', guaranteed placement) were overridden by the written booking conditions, which are often emailed only after payment.
- ✕ Expecting cash back after cancelling the trip balance, The cancellation policy pays out the 50% balance as store credit valid for 2 years, not cash. Flights and insurance become Travel Credit only.
- ✕ Calling repeatedly and leaving voicemails, A recent Trustpilot reviewer reported about 20 calls in 4 days and 3 voicemails with no callback while chasing a promised refund. Phone lines are only staffed Mon, Fri during office hours.
- ✕ Claiming the Job Match Guarantee after an interview was arranged, Global's replies on Trustpilot say that arranging one interview with a Partner Organisation meets the guarantee, even if no job follows.
- ✕ Looking for a self-serve cancel button online, No online cancellation flow was found. Help URLs such as /support/cancellation return 404. Cancellations go through your Trip Coordinator and a cancellation form.
Cancelled Global Work & Travel but still being charged?
Three common reasons, in order of likelihood:
- The cancellation didn’t actually complete. If you never received a written confirmation from Global Work & Travel, treat it as not cancelled. Email
social@globalworkandtravel.comreferencing your original request date and ask for written confirmation plus a refund of any charge taken since. - You cancelled in the wrong place. Subscriptions started through the App Store or Google Play bill through Apple or Google, cancelling on Global Work & Travel’s site doesn’t touch them. Check Settings → Subscriptions on iPhone, or Play Store → Payments & subscriptions on Android.
- Billing lag. A charge that was already in flight when you cancelled can still land a few days later. One trailing charge can be normal; two is not.
If they keep charging after a confirmed cancellation, that’s chargeback territory: dispute the charge with your bank citing “subscription cancelled, merchant continued billing”. The yoink app also flags this automatically, it keeps watching your inbox after a confirmed cancellation and alerts you if Global Work & Travel charges again.
How Global Work & Travel will try to keep you
Global Work & Travel may respond with a retention offer, a discount, a free month, or a downgrade to a cheaper tier. Don't engage with the counteroffer. Restate that you want a full cancellation and cite the consumer law again if they push back.
They’ll say: “Offering to keep your deposit as 'Lifetime Deposit Guarantee' credit instead of refunding it”
You say: Credit isn't a refund. Ask in writing for the date and time you submitted the booking form. If you never submitted it, their own older terms say the deposit is refundable. If you did, ask for the signed form and cite your local consumer-law rights on unfair terms.
They’ll say: “Suggesting you put the trip on hold, change dates or transfer it to a friend”
You say: Say no in writing if you don't want to travel. Make it clear you're cancelling, not deferring, and ask for the exact cancellation fee and refund amount under the booking conditions that applied on your booking date.
They’ll say: “Paying out the 50% cancellation balance as 2-year store credit”
You say: Ask for the balance as money back to your original payment method. If they refuse and you paid by card for services you never received, think about a card chargeback (or a credit-card claim where your region allows it), using your written cancellation as evidence.
They’ll say: “Passing you to a 'cancellations team' that sends a generic refusal or a 10-working-day review”
You say: Reply to the same email thread with a clear deadline (for example, 14 days). Restate your booking reference, payment amounts and what you're asking for, and keep every message as a paper trail.
They’ll say: “Saying the Job Match Guarantee was 'met' because one interview was arranged”
You say: Quote the parents page back to them: it promises a complete refund of the trip cost, minus inclusions you used, if no job match is secured during the included accommodation. Ask them to explain how one interview counts as a job match.
They’ll say: “Pointing to the tick-boxes you agreed to on the booking form”
You say: Ask for a copy of the exact booking conditions and the form you signed, with a timestamp. Reviewers report getting the T&Cs only after paying, which helps your case if you take it to a regulator or card issuer.

Delete your Global Work & Travel account (not just cancel)

They’re typically required to act on it, most companies complete erasure within about 30 days, and you should ask for written confirmation when it’s done.
Common questions about cancelling Global Work & Travel
There's **no online cancel button**. Contact your Trip Coordinator by email, or write to **social@globalworkandtravel.com**, and ask for the cancellation form.
