Do it yourself

Cancel Philo yourself

TLDR: Click Cancel my subscription, then Complete cancellation, or cancel with Amazon, Apple, Google, Roku, Samsung or Vizio if they bill you. You can watch through the rest of the cycle, and the time left is not refunded.

Cancel on Philo

Philo bills you directly.

  1. 01Sign in at philo.com.
  2. 02Click your profile avatar, then Account.
  3. 03Click Cancel my subscription.
  4. 04Click Complete cancellation.

The terms also let you request a cancellation through philo.com/contact. The published contact line is help@philo.com and 855-277-4456 (855-CSPHILO). Philo does not publish hours for that number.

Cancel an add-on only

You want to drop an add-on and keep Essential or Bundle+. Philo's add-on article separates this from cancelling the base plan.

  2. 02Click Manage Add-ons.
  3. 03Uncheck the add-on you want to cancel.
  4. 04Click Continue, check the terms box, and click Submit.

Cancelling Essential or Bundle+ cancels the add-ons with it. You do not cancel those add-ons one by one. Add-ons are only sold on a Philo bill, not on a third-party bill.

Cancel through Amazon

Amazon bills you. Philo cannot stop that charge.

  1. 01Go to amazon.com/appstoresubscriptions.

Cancel through Samsung

Samsung bills you.

  2. 02Click Purchase History, then the Subscriptions tab.
  3. 03Select Philo, click Unsubscribe, then click Yes.

Cancel a Vizio bill

You subscribed through Vizio. Philo's help page sends that bill to a Walmart account.

  1. 01Sign in to your Walmart account.
  2. 02Open Subscriptions and Purchases.
  3. 03Click Update next to Philo.
  4. 04Click Cancel Subscription, then Update Subscription.

How to know it worked

  • On a Philo bill, the Account page shows the cancellation under Your Philo Subscription, including the last day of the billing cycle.
  • You can keep watching the paid package through the rest of that cycle. Free channels stay available after it ends.
  • An add-on also stays through the rest of the trial or the current billing cycle.

Watch out for

  • Philo says it has a no refund policy. Cancelling stops the next charge. It does not refund the current period.
  • An add-on bought in the middle of a month is charged a prorated amount right away, then the full add-on price renews with the base plan.
  • You cannot buy an add-on if Amazon, Apple, Google, Roku, Samsung, or Vizio bills the base plan. Philo says you have to switch to Philo billing first.
  • Locking the card does not stop the charge. Philo's cancel page says so.
  • After you cancel, Philo keeps your name, email, and phone number. The payment card stays unless you click remove payment info on the Account page.
  • A free trial is one per household. Cancel before the trial ends or the card is charged.

Philo refunds

  • Philo's cancel page and terms say there is no refund or credit for time left after you cancel, unless the law requires it.
  • A price-change refund is separate. If you stop using Philo within 30 days of a terms change, the terms say you may receive a prorated refund of prepaid fees you do not use. Ask through philo.com/contact.
  • A third-party bill follows that company's refund rules.

If it did not work

No confirmation email? Then it didn't happen.

Our letter comes with a receipt. This is when it is worth having us do it.

Have us cancel Philo
  • You cannot log in, or do not remember the email

    The notice goes to Philo in your name and address. No login, no password.

  • The cancel button is not on your Account page

    Amazon, Apple, Google, Roku, Samsung, or Vizio probably bills you. The notice still puts Philo on written record. Cancel with that company too, because only they can stop their charge.

  • You were charged after cancelling

    The dated notice and proof of delivery are what your bank asks for when you dispute the charge.

  • You would rather not chase support

    We post and email the notice, then follow up with Philo until they confirm. If they never do, you get your money back.

Two minutes from you. We do the rest.

Cancelling Philo

What people ask about Philo.

How do I cancel Philo?

If Philo bills you, sign in, open Account, and click Cancel my subscription, then Complete cancellation. If Amazon, Apple, Google, Roku, Samsung, or Vizio bills you, cancel there. Philo's help page has the steps for each.

How do I cancel a Philo add-on without cancelling the base plan?

On the Account page, click Manage Add-ons, uncheck the add-on, and submit. If you cancel Essential or Bundle+, the add-ons cancel with it.

When does a Philo cancellation take effect?

You keep the paid channels through the end of the current billing cycle or trial. After that, free channels remain. The Account page shows the last day.

Can I get a refund from Philo?

Philo says no. Cancelling stops future charges and does not refund the current period, unless the law requires it.

I locked my card. Will that stop Philo?

No. Philo's cancel page says locking the card will not prevent subscription charges. Cancel the subscription itself.

Can you cancel Philo without me logging in?

Yes. The notice goes to Philo in writing, so it does not depend on you reaching a cancel button inside your account. A lost password or a locked account does not stop it.

Does the letter ask them to delete my data?

Yes. It asks the company to erase the personal data it holds on you where it has no lawful reason to keep it, and to confirm in writing once it has.
