Is it possible to cancel my Quizlet subscription and get a refund?

You can always cancel, and you keep Plus until your paid term ends. A refund for the unused part of an annual plan is unlikely, because the terms say direct purchases are non-refundable and there's no pro-rata policy. Your best chance is a renewal you didn't mean to keep: cancel auto-renewal straight away, then file **Billing → Request a refund** explaining you haven't used the renewed term. If a bot denies it, reply and ask for a person.

Can I cancel my Quizlet subscription at any time?

Yes. Quizlet's terms say you can cancel anytime, but for auto-renewing plans you must cancel **at least 1 day before** the term ends to avoid the next charge. Your Plus features stay until that date. Then your account switches to the free version. There's no cancellation fee.

How do I cancel a Quizlet free trial?

Cancel the trial the same way as a paid plan: **Settings → Manage subscription → Cancel auto-renewal**, then answer the cancellation questions. Do it **at least 24 hours before the trial ends**, or you're charged the full price, which is $35.99 for annual Plus. The 7-day trial applies to annual plans. Several users say a monthly signup was charged straight away with no trial. Teachers get a 30-day trial. Family Plans have no trial.

Is there a Quizlet cancellation fee?

No. Quizlet doesn't charge a fee to cancel. Cancelling turns off auto-renewal, and you keep Plus until the end of the period you paid for. The real cost risk is timing: miss the 24-hour cutoff and you can be billed for a whole new month ($7.99) or year ($35.99), which Quizlet's terms say is non-refundable.

Can I pause Quizlet Plus instead of cancelling?

Quizlet's help center doesn't describe a pause option for Plus. The closest thing is turning off auto-renewal: you keep access until your term ends, then your account drops to the free plan with your sets intact. You can resubscribe anytime. If you were charged for the wrong plan, Quizlet's billing help says to contact support so they can adjust the price and move you to the right plan.

I was charged for Quizlet but don't have an account. What do I do?

Check whether someone in your household signed up. Quizlet notes that children often sign up for school, which leads to accidental charges. Accidental charges made on the website or Google Play can be refunded through Quizlet's refund form. Apple charges go to Apple. If nobody in your home signed up, contact Quizlet support right away and report the charge as unauthorized.

What if Quizlet ignores my refund request?

Quizlet handles support through a ticket form and an automated first reply, and BBB complaints describe slow or bot-only responses. Reply to the ticket asking for a person, and also email support@quizlet.com with your account email, charge date and amount. If you get nowhere, you can file a BBB complaint (Quizlet has replied to these with refunds) or dispute the charge with your card issuer. Keep your cancellation confirmation as proof.

The short answer

This policy covers Quizlet Plus, Plus Unlimited, Plus for teachers and Family Plan subscriptions. Quizlet doesn't sell one-off purchases. If you paid on quizlet.com, the terms call subscriptions non-refundable, and cancelling only stops the next renewal. Even so, Quizlet's help center has a refund form (Billing → Request a refund), and <cite index="19-13,19-14,19-15">they review each request and may issue a refund depending on your purchase. If approved, you get a confirmation email, and it can take 5 to 10 business days to reach your account.</cite> If you paid through the Apple App Store, Apple handles the refund. Accidental Google Play charges can go through Quizlet's form. <cite index="31-5">No refunds are given if prices drop, if a later promotion appears, or if features change.</cite>

How long does a Quizlet 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.

Refund FAQ for Quizlet

Sometimes. Quizlet's terms say direct subscriptions are non-refundable except where the law requires it, but the help center has a refund route: **Contact us → enter your account email → choose your role → Billing → Request a refund**. Quizlet reviews each case and emails you if it approves. The money takes **5 to 10 business days** to arrive.
