Cancel Masterclass: Easy Method
What is Masterclass
Overview
MasterClass is a subscription service that provides video lessons taught by experts and celebrities across many subjects.
Content is delivered as on-demand classes with supporting materials such as workbooks and community features.
How people typically use it

Subscriptions cover access to the library for the billing period and sometimes include additional products such as live events.

- Go to www.masterclass.com and log in to your account.
- Navigate to Settings → Membership → Cancel Membership → Cancel Now to stop auto-renewal.
- After cancellation you will receive a confirmation email; your subscription remains active until the end of the current billing period.
Cancel on iOS (App Store)
- If you subscribed via Apple, you must cancel through Apple's subscription settings on your device.

What happens when you cancel
Access after cancellation
Cancelling stops the automatic renewal of your subscription but does not immediately remove access.
You typically retain full access until the end of the paid billing period stated in your account.
Billing and confirmation
MasterClass sends a confirmation email when cancellation is complete; keep that for your records.
If you see unexpected charges after cancellation, gather documentation and contact support or the app store used for purchase.
Account data
Your account and learning progress usually remain available after cancellation unless you request deletion.
Check account settings or contact support if you want data removed or an account closed permanently.

Documentation checklist
What to gather
- Account email and username used for MasterClass.
- Order numbers, subscription confirmation, and billing dates.
- Screenshots of subscription settings, cancel buttons, and any error messages.
- Copies of confirmation emails, chat transcripts, and bank or card statements showing charges.
Where to send proof
- Use the MasterClass Help Center chat when logged into your account to attach the documentation.
- For formal mail, use the global mailing address: MasterClass, 660 4th Street #443, San Francisco, CA 94107, United States.
Common mistakes
Cancelling in the wrong place
A common error is trying to cancel an App Store or Google Play subscription on the MasterClass website; these must be cancelled via the app store used to purchase.
Always confirm where you initially subscribed (web, Apple, or Google) before following cancellation steps.
Assuming cancellation equals refund
Many customers expect an automatic refund when they cancel; cancellation typically only stops renewal and does not guarantee a refund.
Request refunds explicitly within the stated windows and provide supporting documentation when required.
Missing evidence
Failing to save confirmation emails, screenshots, or chat logs weakens refund or dispute claims with MasterClass or your payment provider.
Always keep records of the cancellation confirmation and any supportive communication.
