iHeartMedia offers a popular music and radio service called iHeartRadio with both free and paid options. For $4.99 a month, you can subscribe to iHeartRadio Plus, which lets you replay songs, save favorites, search for any song, and skip unlimited tracks. The $9.99 a month iHeartRadio All Access subscription adds features like creating your own music playlists, full playback control, and offline listening. If you don't pay, you can still enjoy lots of live radio stations and podcasts for free, so you might see a charge from them if you use these upgraded features.

Tips and Tricks for Getting a Google iHeartMedia Refund
- Call customer support directly instead of relying on website cancellation to get personalized assistance.
- Be polite but firm using language like "I'm considering cancelling because of the cost" or "I no longer need the service" to elicit retention offers.
- Ask for retention discounts or offers explicitly; some users reported getting significant reductions by negotiating.
- Cancel right after a billing period starts or during a free trial's first few days to avoid charges and keep cancellation windows open.
- Set calendar reminders to cancel subscriptions a few days before renewal to avoid automatic charges.
- Use multiple escalation paths: if first-tier support declines cancellation, ask to be transferred to a supervisor or retention department.
- Check all platforms (iHeartMedia website, Google Play, Apple App Store) as subscriptions might be billed through different services and require separate cancellation.
- Monitor your bank statements and dispute charges with your bank if you encounter unauthorized or renewed billing after cancellation attempts.
- Uninstalling the app does NOT cancel a subscription, you must explicitly follow cancellation steps.
- Persistence is key: users noted that cancellation links can be hard to find and cancellation processes may require negotiating with automated systems or multiple customer agents.

Google iHeartMedia Refund Policy
iHeartMedia (iHeartRadio) subscription cancellation policy states that if you cancel your subscription, it will stop at the end of the current billing cycle or free trial. Subscribers who signed up via iTunes/iOS App Store cancel through device settings or desktop App Store, while those signed up via Google Play Store, iHeart.com, Roku, or Amazon App Store follow specific platform links to cancel. This ensures no further charges beyond the current paid period.
