Pearson Education offers Pearson+, a service where you can subscribe to eTextbooks and study tools, usually for a 6-month period. You can pay for the subscription all at once or choose monthly payments, and your payment method can be credit card, PayPal, or Apple Pay. If your payment doesn't go through, they'll notify you and pause your subscription until it's fixed. You might see a charge from them if you subscribed for digital textbooks or learning access through their site.
The cancellation process is straightforward as it can be done online via the 'My account' section by selecting 'Cancel and refund' or 'Cancel subscription'. The only complexity is timing: refunds are only available within the first 14 days and cancellation must be done at least 1 day before the renewal date to avoid charges.

Tips and Tricks for Getting a Pearson Education Refund
Cancel through Pearson website only: Pearson customer support will not cancel or refund for you; you must do it yourself by logging into your account on the Pearson website.
Steps to cancel: Login > click your initials top-right > "My Account" > scroll to "Subscriptions" > click "Manage" > select "Cancel Subscription."
Timing is critical: Refunds about only within 14 days of first charge; after that, no refunds even if you cancel.
No hidden auto-renew off button: Some users report no easy way to turn off auto-renewal except full cancellation.
Apple Cash payment hack: Change subscription payment to Apple Cash with insufficient funds; when payment fails, subscription cancels automatically after 7 days.
Prepare for no month-to-month options: Many mention mandatory minimum 6-month subscriptions, no early cancellation with refund.
Stay firm and documented: Keep screenshots of cancellation steps and confirmation messages in case of disputes.
Escalate by threatening chargeback: If refund denied but subscription fee was unfairly charged, mention intention to dispute charge with your bank as a last resort.
Check subscription status frequently: Confirm after cancellation that your subscription status shows inactive to avoid billing continuation.

Frequently Asked Questions
Pearson Education subscriptions generally allow cancellation at any time, but there are key landmines to be aware of: Many subscriptions offer a 14-day Refund Period during which you can cancel for a full refund, but after that period, fees are non-refundable, even if you stop using the service. Auto-renewal is common and must be turned off before the renewal date to avoid unexpected charges; if you cancel after the renewal, access typically continues until the end of the current billing cycle but no refund is given. Some subscriptions, like Pearson+ Study Prep, are explicitly nonrefundable, so be cautious before committing, and always check the specific subscription terms for refund eligibility and cancellation procedures.
