Cancel Rakuten Subscription in Less Than 2 Minutes
Rakuten has over 5 million active subscribers, many of which are unaware of how to unsubscribe. Also, many active subscribers have no information on the hidden charges that come with having an active Rakuten account. The need to protect such customers has led to DoNotPay creating a service to cancel subscriptions.
DoNotPay offers the best solution for the cancellation of Rakuten subscriptions and other unused subscriptions, including Planet Fitness, Sky, BT Sport, Xbox, CVS CarePass, and Vodafone. Our platform will help or set an automatic cancellation system at your preferred future set date.
What Are Rakuten's Cancellation Policies?
Below are the two primary policies:
- The Rakuten subscription plan automatically renews each month unless you manually cancel your Rakuten subscription.
- Rakuten account cancellation should be made 24 hours before the free trial period ends. This is a huge inconvenience as customers usually fail to cancel subscriptions timely.
Cancelling Rakuten Service Within 14 Days
Account holders of Rakuten are protected under the Consumer Contract Regulations, and cancellation within the 14 days is free, provided that the Rakuten account user signed up less than 14 days ago, falling within the 'cooling-off period.'
Cancelling Rakuten After 14 Days
Cancelling Rakuten after 14 days requires payment, as the service is already received and ready to use. The Rakuten account user is charged for the entire monthly contract.
