How to cancel Netflix account
Although signing up for online services whether it’s music, cloud storage or a streaming video application is almost effortless, remembering how to cancel it when the time comes requires a little bit more time and attention.
If you are looking to cancel your Netflix subscription whether it is because you don’t use the service as much as you thought you would or don’t enjoy the shows offered by this streaming video service, shutting it down might be a reasonable idea. Luckily, Netflix is one of those services that makes it quite easy to cancel. The cancellation process is not hidden behind layers of useless steps. Also, the good news is that you are also not required to call and talk to an actual human to shut down your Netflix subscription.
A couple of things to remember about Netflix cancellation:
- How you cancel your Netflix subscription depends on how you set up the service. If you subscribed to Netflix directly, you will need to cancel via the Netflix site. You will need to use an iPhone or an iPad if you started the subscription using iTunes.
- Deleting your Netflix profile has nothing to do with your subscription and billing. Removing your Netflix profile is simply not enough and you will continue to be billed. So, make sure to cancel the subscription in order not to get unexpected write-offs.
- If you actually cancel your Netflix subscription, the service will keep the information about your preferences for 10 months in case you would like to come back.
