Tips and Tricks for Getting a TuneIn Refund
- Cancel directly through the app store or platform where you initially purchased the TuneIn subscription (Google Play, Apple App Store, etc.) as website cancellation often fails.
- Log into your TuneIn account and check under Subscriptions or Payment Settings, but be prepared for these pages to sometimes be blank or non-functional.
- If the subscription page is blank or doesn’t have a cancel option, contact TuneIn support via email explaining your cancellation request; persistence may be needed.
- Use clear, firm language in communications: state that you want to cancel immediately and request a confirmation email once done.
- Keep records of all communications, including emails and support ticket numbers, for escalation if charges continue.
- If cancellation through TuneIn and the app stores fails, consider disputing charges with your credit card company as a last resort.
- Check if your subscription is linked to a device (like Rivian infotainment system), which may require cancellation through the device’s platform instead of TuneIn directly.
- Cancel before the trial period ends or the next billing cycle to avoid unexpected charges.
- For difficult cases, escalate by replying firmly to support emails or requesting higher-level assistance.
- Some users suggest deleting the TuneIn account does not cancel subscriptions, so don’t rely on that method alone.
- Timing matters: attempt cancellation during business hours for quicker support response.
- Use the ‘Subscription’ tab cautiously; some users report no active subscription showing despite ongoing charges; in these cases, insist on support intervention.
