Documentation checklist
What to gather before contacting support
- Account email and username used to subscribe.
- Order or transaction number shown on your receipt.
- Payment method and the last four digits of the card used.
- Platform name (CuriosityStream website, Apple App Store, Google Play, Roku, Amazon).
Additional supporting items
- Screenshots of subscription pages, receipts, or cancellation confirmation.

Common mistakes
Canceling in the wrong place
Many users try to cancel on CuriosityStream.com when the subscription was charged by Apple, Google, Roku or Amazon.
Always verify which platform processed the payment before cancelling.
Expecting a prorated refund
Expecting partial-month or pro-rata refunds is a common error; CuriosityStream and some platforms typically do not provide prorated refunds.
Also check whether you turned off auto-renewal vs. deleting the app - deletion does not always stop billing.
