Cancellation Wilderness Society: Easy Method
What is Wilderness Society
The Wilderness Society is a U.S.-based nonprofit focused on protecting public lands, wildlife habitat and wilderness. It offers membership plans that provide access to events, trips, member benefits and advocacy updates rather than typical retail goods or recurring service subscriptions.
Although headquartered in the United States, Canadian supporters can join and donate; membership terms, billing and customer service are managed from the U.S. office and follow the Society's published membership policies.
How to cancel Wilderness Society
- Sign in to your Wilderness Society account on their website and look for a "Manage Membership," "Billing," or "Cancel Membership" option; follow on‑screen prompts to cancel and save any confirmation or cancellation ID.
- If you cannot cancel online, contact Wilderness Society customer service by email or phone (use the contact form or phone number on https://www.wilderness.org), request cancellation, and ask for written confirmation.
- If the account is managed or billed through a third party (app store, payment processor, or workplace/partner plan), cancel through that third party and confirm with Wilderness Society that billing stopped.
- If you prefer a paper record from Canada, send a signed cancellation letter by international registered mail (so you have tracking and proof of delivery) to their U.S. address: 1801 Pennsylvania Ave. NW, Suite 200, Washington, DC 20006, United States. Keep a copy and the tracking receipt.
What happens when you cancel
When you cancel, the effect depends on the membership terms: cancellation may stop future auto‑renewals but often does not retroactively restore fees already billed. You may retain member access for the remainder of the paid period (for example, until the annual membership expiry) unless terms state otherwise.
The Wilderness Society should send a confirmation of cancellation; keep that record. Your personal data and membership records will remain with the organization according to their privacy policy - if you want deletion or a data export, request it explicitly and ask for confirmation.
Will I get a refund?
Refund eligibility is determined by the Wilderness Society's membership and billing policy. Commonly, free trials booked and cancelled within the trial period incur no charge; after a paid renewal, refunds are not guaranteed and are typically handled case-by-case. If you believe you were billed in error (duplicate charge, unauthorized payment), contact the Society immediately and keep evidence.
If the Society refuses a refund or you cannot reach them, you can contact your card issuer or payment provider to dispute the charge. For Canadian cardholders, your bank or card network may offer chargeback or dispute procedures for unauthorized or incorrect billing.

Your consumer rights in Canada
Canadian consumers have protections under federal and provincial laws against deceptive practices and for remedies when goods or services are not delivered as promised. Rights vary by province - if you believe a business has acted unfairly or you have an unresolved billing dispute, contact your provincial consumer protection office for guidance.
For payment disputes, the Financial Consumer Agency of Canada (FCAC) explains steps to dispute unauthorized or incorrect credit card charges and how to work with your card issuer. Even when a supplier is based outside Canada, Canadian payment protections and chargeback procedures often apply through your bank or card network.
Customer experiences
Reported customer experiences are mixed: some members find online cancellation straightforward and receive prompt confirmation, while others report delays contacting U.S.-based support or confusion when membership was billed through a third party. Many recommend saving confirmation screenshots and following up if you do not receive an email confirmation within a few days.
When disputes occur, customers who document everything (receipts, emails, screenshots) and escalate to their card issuer tend to resolve issues faster than those who rely solely on informal phone calls.
Documentation checklist
- Account email and username, membership plan name, and membership/renewal dates
- Payment receipts, billing statements showing the charge, and transaction IDs
- Screenshots or copies of account pages showing membership status and cancellation actions
- Copies of emails or written correspondence with Wilderness Society support
- If mailed, a copy of the signed cancellation letter and the international registered mail tracking/receipt
Common mistakes
Common mistakes include assuming cancellation is complete without receiving written confirmation, cancelling the wrong account (for example, an app-store subscription vs. the direct membership), and waiting until after renewal has processed. Another frequent error is sending a regular, untracked letter; international registered mail gives proof of delivery.
Failing to remove stored payment methods or to confirm that third‑party billing (app stores, partners) has been cancelled can result in continued charges even after you believe you have cancelled.
Comparative recap
| Method | Refund | Difficulty |
|---|---|---|
| Online account cancellation | Possible (depends on terms; faster confirmation) | Low - Medium |
| Phone support | Possible (depends on staff and case) | Medium |
| Email or support form | Possible (documented record; may take longer) | Medium |
| Mail (international registered) | Possible (good proof of notice; slower) | Medium |
| Credit card dispute / chargeback | Possible for unauthorized or incorrect billing | Medium - High |
After cancelling
After you cancel, monitor your email for a written confirmation and your bank/credit card statement for further charges. If you do not receive confirmation within a few business days, follow up via another channel and keep copies of all communications.
If you need to escalate, contact your card issuer to open a dispute for unauthorized or incorrect charges. For consumer‑protection questions in Canada, consult Government of Canada resources and your provincial consumer protection office.
