How to Get a Redis Cloud Refund.
Here's what Redis actually owes you, what their policy quietly says, and how to escalate if they ignore the request.

The short answer
Redis Cloud charges are non-refundable by default, the Cloud Agreement states payments are non-cancelable and non-refundable except where Redis itself breaches the services warranty, in which case you can get a pro-rated refund of prepaid fees for the remainder of the Subscription. For mid-cycle cancellations the docs say 'Generally, charges are non-refundable' and ask you to contact Support with detail about the reasons. Rare exceptions (system error, immediate accidental start) are handled case-by-case. AWS/GCP Marketplace customers must request refunds via the seller-support team in the marketplace.
Or let yoink chase the refund.
30 seconds to set up. yoink emails Redis, cites the policy, escalates if ignored, and surfaces the win when the money lands.

How long does a Redis 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.
What you can claim
The law where you live is the strongest hook, lead with it when you contact the company.

Under the FTC's Click-to-Cancel rule, cancellation must be available through a channel as simple as the one I signed up through. Please confirm by reply that the refund will be processed to my original payment method. If a full refund isn't available under your policy, I'd accept a pro-rata refund for the unused portion. Best, [your name]

Refund FAQ for Redis
Sign in to the Redis Cloud Console as the **Account Owner**, delete every database under the subscription (Configuration > Danger Zone > Delete Database), then open the subscription, go to the **Overview** tab and click **Delete subscription**. Confirm both prompts. Cancellation is immediate but does not refund the current cycle. Only the Account Owner can perform this, team members and admins are blocked. Marketplace subscriptions (AWS/GCP) must be cancelled inside the cloud provider's marketplace console instead.
Cancelling rather than claiming money back? See the Redis cancellation guide. For every other support channel, the Redis contact guide.
