Will I get a refund if I cancel X Premium?

Almost certainly no. X's FAQ states all subscriptions are non-refundable unless switching to a higher tier or where required by law. Cancelling stops the *next* charge, it doesn't refund the current cycle. The only built-in prorata is when you **upgrade** Premium → Premium+ on iOS, which gives a prorated refund of your old plan via Apple. UK/EU users within 14 days of purchase who haven't used Premium features may still claim a statutory refund.

I was charged after cancelling X Premium, what now?

First check *where* you cancelled, if you subscribed on iOS but cancelled on web (or vice versa), the cancellation didn't apply. For app-store subscriptions, request a refund through Apple (reportaproblem.apple.com) or Google Play. For web subscriptions, DM @Premium on X and submit the paid-features form at help.x.com/forms with your charge date, amount, and a screenshot of the cancellation confirmation. If X declines, dispute the charge with your card issuer.

Is there a cancellation fee for X Premium?

No. X does not charge a cancellation fee, and you can resubscribe at any time without penalty. The cost of cancelling is simply the time remaining in your current paid cycle, X keeps the money you've already paid, but you continue to receive Premium features (checkmark, reduced ads, edit post, etc.) until the cycle ends.

How do I cancel a gifted X Premium subscription?

Gifted Premium subscriptions can't be cancelled in standard Settings. X's help docs say: "To cancel your gifted subscription, please message us at @Premium." Send a DM to @Premium on X with the gift details. Note that the @Premium account often replies via an automated chatbot which **cannot issue refunds**, for billing disputes you'll need to escalate via help.x.com/forms.

Can I get a refund if my X account was suspended?

X's official position is no: subscriptions linked to suspended accounts are explicitly listed as non-refundable. This applies even to annual plans where months of paid access are wiped out by the suspension. If you've paid by credit/debit card, your strongest move is a **chargeback through your bank**, citing 'service not provided', UK users on credit cards also have Section 75 rights against the card issuer for the full amount.

Why is X Premium more expensive on iPhone than on the web?

Apple's App Store adds its service fee on top of X's base price, so iOS subscriptions can be ~30 to 40% more expensive than web. In the US, Premium+ is roughly $50/month or $490/year on iOS versus $40/month or $395/year on x.com. To save money, cancel via Apple, wait for the period to end, then resubscribe directly on x.com in a browser.

How do I contact X about a Premium billing issue?

X has no public customer service phone number or generic support email for Premium. The verified routes are: 1. **help.x.com/forms** → "Premium and monetization" form for paid-features issues. 2. **DM @Premium** on X (note: replies often come from a chatbot that can't issue refunds). 3. For **app store charges**, contact Apple (reportaproblem.apple.com) or Google Play directly, X cannot refund those. Expect automated acknowledgment first; specific subject lines like "X Premium charge on [date] not authorized" get faster human replies.

REFUND GUIDE

How to Get an X Premium Refund.

Here's what X Premium actually owes you, what their policy quietly says, and how to escalate if they ignore the request.

Last verified 15 Jun 2026 against X Premium’s own Terms · UK, US, and EU rights covered below

The short answer

X Premium is non-refundable by default. Canceling stops future charges but doesn't refund the current billing period, you keep access until the cycle ends. The only prorata X offers is when you upgrade to a higher tier on the same platform (e.g., Premium → Premium+ on iOS triggers a prorated refund of your old plan). Suspended accounts get no refund. EU and UK consumers may still invoke statutory rights if they cancel within 14 days of first purchase without using premium features.

What X Premium actually says

“Unless you are switching to a higher tier, all subscriptions are non-refundable, unless required by law. That includes subscriptions linked to X accounts that have been suspended or that you can no longer access for any other reason.”

How long does a X Premium 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.
