Can I get a refund from Fabswingers after cancelling?

Yes, in two main cases: (1) inside a statutory cooling-off window from when you first subscribed (14 days in the UK and EU; US auto-renewal laws vary by state), and (2) if you can show a service breach (downtime, undelivered feature, mis-advertised plan). Outside those, Fabswingers's policy applies, sometimes pro-rata, sometimes nothing. A card-issuer chargeback remains the backstop everywhere.

What if they ignore my refund request?

Wait 14 days from the first email. If no reply, dispute the charge with your card issuer, "services not provided" and "subscription not cancelled" are valid chargeback reason codes on every major card network, and your bank pursues it, not you. The regional rights section above lists the stronger local escalation routes where they exist.

Will my account be deleted if I get a refund?

No, a refund and an account closure are separate. The refund returns the money for the disputed charge; your account stays live (often downgraded to a free tier). If you also want the account deleted, request that explicitly in the same email so it's handled in one round.

REFUND GUIDE

How to Get a FabSwingers Refund After a Ban.

Inside 14 days their own policy is on your side; statutory cooling-off rights may stack on top. Outside it, you've still got tools, a clear email, a card-issuer chargeback, the lot. Here's the playbook for Fabswingers.

The short answer

FabSwingers doesn't publish a refund policy. The 14-day figure comes from a third-party review site, not from FabSwingers' own terms, so treat it as unconfirmed. Site Supporter upgrades are the only thing you pay for. They are one-off, fixed-term passes (130, 160 or 252 days), and card payments go through Epoch, showing as EPOCH.COM *WINCHESTER. When FabSwingers has removed paid accounts, some users received pro-rata refunds of unused days, and a FabSwingers staff reply on Trustpilot promised paid users a 'full no quibbles refund'. Many other reviewers say they were banned with no refund. Text-message (PIN) purchases are a separate payment route, and no refund process for them is documented.

Fabswingers’s refund policy

Fabswingers’s own refund policy isn’t prominently documented. That doesn’t mean you have no rights, most jurisdictions give you a statutory cancel-and-refund window on new subscriptions (14 days in the UK / EU, US auto-renewal protections vary by state). See “What you can claim, by region” below for the angle that applies where you live.

How long does a Fabswingers refund take?

Most merchants agree to a straightforward refund within 1 to 3 working days of a well-written email request. Once agreed, the money itself takes another 3 to 5 working days to land, that part is card-network processing and no merchant can skip it. If nothing has arrived 10 working days after a written “refund approved”, reply on the same thread asking for the ARN (acquirer reference number), which your bank can trace.

Note Fabswingers’s own policy works on a 14-day window, ask inside it and the request is routine; outside it you’re relying on goodwill or statutory rights.

Refund FAQ for Fabswingers

Fabswingers typically processes refunds within 7-14 working days once approved, back to the original payment method. Card refunds show up faster than bank-transfer refunds. If you don't see it in 14 days, follow up by reply on the same email thread, your card issuer can also confirm whether the funds have been requested back.
