Real User Scenarios: When and How Refunds Were Successfully Claimed
At KOI, we strive to provide an exceptional service experience, and we understand that sometimes situations arise that may lead to inquiries about refunds. Here are a few real user scenarios where customers successfully claimed refunds:
Subscription Overlap: A user had an active KOI subscription but decided to upgrade to a higher plan for additional features. After realizing the higher plan included a free month, the user contacted KOI support, who promptly issued a refund for the redundant subscription period.
Service Interruption: A customer experienced a temporary outage during a significant event, impacting their use of KOI's features. Upon reaching out to customer service, they expressed their concerns, and KOI offered a partial refund for that month’s subscription as a goodwill gesture.
Membership Cancellation: A user accidentally renewed their KOI membership while intending to cancel. They reached out to the customer service team within the cancellation window, where KOI efficiently processed their request and issued a full refund for the renewal.
Billing Clarification: After noticing a charge that seemed higher than usual, a user approached KOI’s support team seeking clarification. Upon investigation, it was confirmed that the charge reflected an annual plan upgrade the user wasn’t aware of. KOI kindly provided a refund for the difference after discussing the user’s account preferences.
