Tips and Tricks for Getting a Epic Games Refund

- On PlayStation: Go to Settings > Users and Accounts > Account > Payment and Subscriptions > Game and App Services > Fortnite, then turn off auto-renew for the Fortnite Crew subscription.
- On Xbox: Cancel the subscription through your Microsoft account.
- Timing: Cancel immediately after subscribing to keep the benefits for the first month but prevent auto-renewal and future charges.
- Language/tone: Be clear and persistent when contacting support, emphasizing you want the subscription disabled and that billing should stop immediately.
- Escalation: If customer support routes you back and forth between Epic and the platform provider (Microsoft, Sony), persist with both until one disables the subscription.
- Escalate by repeatedly contacting support (sometimes spamming contact for days) has been reported effective to get the subscription disabled in Epic's system.
- Check the right category: Some users noted the subscription may appear under "Game and App Services" rather than "Subscriptions" in consoles.
- Don't rely on the game interface to cancel as it may not update or reflect cancellations properly; use official platform account settings.
