How to Cancel Reddit Premium: Complete Guide
What is Reddit Premium
Reddit Premium is a paid subscription that removes ads and grants account-level perks such as higher content limits, ad-free browsing, exclusive avatar items and access to r/lounge. The service is offered on a recurring monthly or annual basis and is available via direct web payment and in-app purchases, which often have different listed prices. From a financial perspective, the product is positioned as a light convenience upgrade rather than essential content access, so its value should be weighed against other ad-free or community-moderation tools you may already use.
Subscription plans and pricing for Reddit Premium
Reddit publishes standard plan names and base prices in USD and notes that in-app purchases are higher to cover app-store fees. For Australia, app-store listings show in-app prices in A$ while web prices are quoted in USD and convert to AUD at prevailing exchange rates; the difference can be material when comparing monthly versus annual commitments.
| Payment route | Published price (source) | Representative AU price |
|---|---|---|
| Web listing (Reddit published) | Monthly $5.99 / Yearly $49.99 (USD) | Approx A$8.95/month - Approx A$74.30/year (converted, approx). |
| Apple App Store (in-app) | Listed in App Store | A$10.49/month • A$97.99/year (App Store AU listing). |
| Google Play / Android (in-app) | Varies by region and store fees | Varies - typically similar to iOS premium uplift; check local store listing. |
How cancellations typically work for Reddit Premium
Reddit’s terms state subscriptions auto-renew monthly or yearly and that users must cancel at least 24 hours before a renewal date to avoid being billed for the next period. Subscriptions normally remain active until the end of the current paid billing period; Reddit says it does not provide credits for partial unused periods as a general rule.
From a financial perspective, the path you used to pay matters: purchases billed through app marketplaces are subject to the marketplace’s billing and refund rules, while web payments follow Reddit’s direct terms, which emphasise purchases are final to the fullest extent permitted by law. This split is the key driver of refund outcomes and timing.
Customer experiences with cancelling Reddit Premium
What users report
Public feedback collected on forums and app-store reviews shows three recurring themes: price sensitivity when app-store rates are higher than web rates, confusion about whether cancellation was effective (timing and renewal windows), and mixed experiences obtaining refunds after accidental renewals. Users also react strongly to price increases and may cancel for cost reasons. A sample sentiment expressed on discussion threads captures this: some users cancel immediately after a price change, citing the relative value compared with competing services.
Recurring issues and practical takeaways
In terms of what works and what does not: customers see the clearest refund outcomes when they document timing (receipt, invoice, renewal date) and when the charge is recent; outcomes vary when purchases were made through third-party stores because different refund mechanics apply. Expect refund timing to depend on the payment processor and bank settlement cycles.
Practical financial takeaway: the price delta between web and in-app routes can be ~A$1 - A$2/month or more; for multi-month budgeting, that gap compounds and justifies checking both the effective AU price and the renewal cadence before committing.
Disputes, chargebacks and refund expectations
From a consumer-rights perspective, refunds for digital subscriptions are limited under Reddit’s published policy, which states purchases are final to the extent permitted by law, and that the right to withdraw can be constrained for immediate-access digital services. This legal framing reduces the baseline expectation of an automatic pro rata refund.
If a charge appears after you believed you cancelled, banks and card issuers sometimes offer dispute mechanisms (chargebacks). As a budget optimisation consultant I advise treating chargebacks as a last-resort financial tool because they can be slow, they shift burden to your bank, and they may require documentary proof of attempted cancellation or vendor communications. Chargebacks can succeed when a merchant refuses a reasonable, timely refund and when you have clear evidence.
Documentation checklist
- Purchase receipt: transaction timestamp and amount shown on your card / app-store history.
- Subscription start and renewal dates: invoice or account purchase history showing auto-renewal date.
- Proof of attempted cancellation: timestamps where available (screenshots, confirmation numbers).
- Bank statement line: the exact merchant descriptor and A$ amount charged.
- Correspondence log: short notes of dates and outcomes if you engaged support or used a dispute channel.
Common pitfalls and mistakes to avoid
- 1. Assuming in-app and web prices are interchangeable: the store markup can make in-app purchases materially more expensive over time.
- 2. Missing the 24-hour renewal window: allowing auto-renew to process can cost a full cycle amount with low chance of automatic proration.
- 3. Relying on memory instead of documentation: undocumented cancellations or vague timestamps weaken refund/chargeback claims.
- 4. Expecting a routine refund for immediate-access digital subscriptions: Reddit’s published terms set a low baseline for refunds for active subscription periods.

What to do after cancelling Reddit Premium
After you cancel, follow a short financial checklist focused on verification and budget impact: verify the cancellation status in your records, monitor the next two billing cycles for unexpected charges, and reconcile any refunds or chargebacks against your bank statement. These are routine budget controls that prevent leakage from recurring fees.
Consider alternatives before re-subscribing: weigh the marginal benefit of ad-free browsing and avatar perks against the annualised cost saved by cancelling. If your usage is occasional, an annual plan can be cheaper per month but is a larger upfront outlay; a monthly plan gives flexibility at higher per-month cost. Use the AU price comparisons above to test the break-even point for switching frequency.
Finally, if you contest a renewal, prepare the documentation checklist above and decide whether a formal dispute with your payment provider is warranted based on the amount at stake and the timing of the charge. From a cashflow perspective, small monthly savings scale over a year and can fund higher-priority expenses if reallocated deliberately.
