IMPORTANT INFORMATIION BEFORE CANCELLING

Before you cancel your membership please read the posts below which will give you advice on what to do before you cancel your premium membership.

Can you cancel WA premium and come back

7 Things You Need to Know Before You Quit or Cancel WA Membership

Cancel Wealthy Affiliate Membership and Stop Billing

VERY IMPORTANT: If you cancel your premium membership you do not have the option to go back to the FREE membership.

STEP 1: STOP BILLING AND CANCEL MEMBERSHIP

There are 3 buttons you need to click before your account is closed.

Click the "Stop Billing & Cancel Membership" button and follow the instructions (See 1 in the image above)

You will be re-directed to another screen with some information. Select "Stop Billing and Close Account".

A post from Carson will open and only after reading the complete post you will find the final cancel button."Click here if you are sure you want to cancel your account"

PS: Please read all the infromation before you press the 3rd and final button. If you need help with anything, please leave me a comment below or send me a PM.

STEP 2: REMOVE ACCOUNT DATA

When you click on account data you will have the option to remove all your data stored at Wealthy Affiliate. (See 2 in the image above)

Make sure you have backed up EVERYTHING you want to keep for future use, including your websites, WA posts, training, etc. before you click this button.

Tip: If you are going to cancel your membership and think that you might return to WA in future DON'T use this option.

PS: Normally when you cancel your membership and resubscribe at some point again, you will still have access to almost all the info you left behind, but not your websites (WA only keep if for 30 days) If you request to remove your data, everything will be deleted.

I personally don't recommend you use this option, but it's a personal choice. If the main reason why you want to delete all your data is not to receive anymore emails from WA, there is a option to disable all your email notifications in Lesson 7.

ON WHAT DATE SHOULD YOU CANCEL YOUR MEMBERSHIP

Cancel your membership well in advance before your next payment is due. I would say at least 3 and more days. Wealthy Affiliate does not give refunds if you don't cancel on time.

Remember you will stay a premium member until the payment is due.

For example , I am on yearly premium and should I decide to cancel my subscpription today, I will stay a premium member until next year August when my next payment is due.

IMPORTANT: If you consider using the "Remove all data" button wait until after your subsciption is cancelled. You still have access to your login details and can remove your data at anytime after cancellation.
