Do it yourself
Cancel The Motley Fool yourself
TLDR: Email membersupport@fool.com and ask them to turn off automatic renewal, including a trial before it ends. A trial cancelled in time is not charged, and each offer has its own refund rule, with most refunds only for a first-time subscriber.
Email Member Support
The Motley Fool is set to renew.
- 01Email membersupport@fool.com.
- 02Ask them to turn off automatic renewal or end the membership.
A trial is not charged if you cancel before it ends. The same address ends a trial. One trial per person or household at a time, and one in any six months, unless the offer says otherwise. After a trial, they charge the card you gave. Many plans then renew for a year or a month, even if the offer was different. For a term longer than three months, they email the length and price before they charge. Monthly plans get a yearly note about later renewals. They also email if the renewal length or price will change. Apple Pay renewals stay on Apple Pay. If one card fails, they may try another card on the account. A higher price needs reasonable notice. Service emails keep coming until you cancel. Marketing emails can be stopped in settings without cancelling.
Mail a notice
You want it on paper.
- 01Write that you are ending the membership, and include the email on the account.
- 02Mail it to General Counsel, The Motley Fool, LLC, 2000 Duke Street, Alexandria, VA 22314.
The terms say a paper copy of the rules can be requested at that street. Email membersupport@fool.com as well so the renewal actually stops.
How to know it worked
- The membership keeps renewing until you tell them to stop.
- A trial cancelled before it ends is not charged.
Watch out for
- You cannot give the membership to someone else, except by a will or a court order. That transfer runs to the end of the term and can renew at the current price.
- Wrong account information can get the membership cancelled.
- They can refuse or stop a service at any time.
The Motley Fool refunds
- Each offer has its own refund rule. Some offer none. Read the offer, or ask Member Support.
- Most refunds are only for a first-time subscriber. If a service refunds after 30 days and you cancel, a later signup does not get a refund after the first 30 days.
- An enrollment fee is not refunded under these terms. The offer itself may say otherwise.
- A plan bought through another company follows that company’s refund rule.
