Cancellation Showtime: Easy Method

What is Showtime

Showtime is a premium premium-cable and streaming brand known for original series, movies, and sports programming. In Canada, Showtime is not sold as a standalone subscription; access is typically bundled with U.S. Paramount+ plans or obtained through U.S.-based purchase methods.

How to cancel Showtime

How you cancel depends on how you subscribed (Paramount+/U.S. account, app store, streaming device store, or a TV/cable provider). Follow the steps that match your purchase method:

• Paramount+ (U.S.) account: Sign in at the Paramount+ website, open Account or Profile settings, find Subscription/Billing, and select Cancel. If you used a VPN or U.S. payment method, sign in the same way you used to subscribe.
• Apple App Store (iPhone/iPad/Mac): Open Settings → your name → Subscriptions, find Paramount+ or SHOWTIME bundle and tap Cancel Subscription. You can also request refunds via Apple Support.
• Google Play (Android): Open Google Play Store → Menu → Payments & subscriptions → Subscriptions, select the subscription and Cancel. For refunds, use Google Play’s request process.
• Amazon Channels / Roku Channel / other device stores: Go to the subscriptions or channel management area of your Amazon/Roku account and cancel the SHOWTIME/Paramount+ channel subscription there.
• Cable, satellite, or third‑party provider: Contact the provider’s customer service and request cancellation. Ask for a confirmation number or email.
• If online cancellation fails: Save screenshots, contact the subscription platform’s support (Paramount+/Apple/Google/Amazon/Roku), and consider sending a written cancellation notice to the corporate address below (see Address section) via registered mail for proof of delivery.

What happens when you cancel

After cancellation you typically retain access through the end of your current paid billing period; services usually do not cut off immediately unless specified by the provider. Automatic renewals stop, so you will not be billed again after the period ends. Your account details (email, billing record, watch history) may be retained by the provider according to their retention and privacy policies; you can request data deletion under applicable privacy rules.

Will I get a refund?

Refunds are not guaranteed. Most streaming services, including Paramount+ bundles that include SHOWTIME, state that they do not offer refunds for partial billing periods as standard policy. Exceptions occur when a provider's terms, local consumer protection rules, or app store refund policies apply, or when a billing error or duplicate charge is proven. If you purchased through Apple or Google Play, those stores have their own refund request processes and may issue refunds at their discretion. If your bank or credit card was charged in error, you can also ask your card issuer about a chargeback as a last resort.

Showtime plans and pricing

Note: SHOWTIME is not offered as a standalone subscription in Canada. The prices above are Canadian-dollar conversions of U.S. Paramount+ with SHOWTIME plans and are typically accessible only via U.S. billing or VPN‑based methods.

Your consumer rights in Canada

Canadian consumer protection is provincial and varies by jurisdiction, but common protections include requirements to disclose automatic renewal terms and to avoid unfair business practices. If a company misrepresented the service or failed to disclose renewal terms, you may have grounds for a refund or complaint. Purchases made through app stores are subject to the app store’s terms as well as applicable provincial consumer laws. If you believe your rights were violated, contact your provincial consumer protection office, and keep documentation of charges, cancellation attempts, and communications. Credit card chargeback rules and bank dispute procedures are additional avenues for contested charges.

Customer experiences

Users report mixed experiences: many find self-service cancellation straightforward when done through the account or the app store used to subscribe. Common frustrations come from subscriptions bought via U.S. accounts or through device channels where language or geographic steps complicate the process, and where VPN use adds complexity. Complaints also arise when billing continues after an attempted cancellation; successful resolution often depends on providing proof of cancellation attempts and working with the platform’s support team or the payment provider.

Documentation checklist

• Account email and username
• Order number, transaction ID, or billing statement showing the charge
• Date of subscription and next billing date
• Payment method (card last four digits, PayPal account, etc.)
• Screenshots of subscription page, cancellation confirmation, or error messages
• Copies of any correspondence with support, including case or reference numbers

Common mistakes

People often try to cancel in the wrong place - e.g., attempting to cancel on a local Canadian site when the subscription was created through a U.S. Paramount+ account or an app store. Another common error is assuming cancellation is immediate; many services allow access through the paid period, which can create confusion about whether billing stopped. Using a VPN or alternate payment method can complicate support interactions; keep a clear record of how you subscribed. Finally, failing to save confirmation or reference numbers can make disputes harder to resolve.

Comparative recap

After cancelling

Save all confirmation emails, take screenshots of cancellation screens, and note the end date of service. If billing continues after cancellation, contact the provider’s support with your documentation and request a refund or billing adjustment. If you cannot resolve the issue directly, contact your bank or card issuer about a disputed charge, and consider filing a complaint with your provincial consumer protection office or the Competition Bureau for broader issues. For privacy concerns, request data deletion or a copy of your personal data under the provider’s privacy policy.
