What happens when you cancel

Access after cancellation

After cancelling, you generally keep access to VIP features until the current paid billing period ends. Your account is not deleted by cancelling.

Auto-renewal and future charges

Cancellation stops future automatic renewals. To avoid the next charge, cancel at least 24 hours before the next renewal date.

Account data and subscriptions

Your viewing history and account details usually remain unless you delete the account. Third-party billing records remain with the platform that charged you.

Will I get a refund?

General refund policy

iQIYI membership payments are generally non-refundable once paid. Cancelled subscriptions usually remain active until the period ends without a prorated refund.

Exceptions and billing errors

• If charged unintentionally after cancelling or if there was a billing error, contact iQIYI support or the app store for possible review and refund.
• User reports indicate refunds are considered case-by-case rather than automatic.

Alipay and specific channels

• For Alipay automatic deductions: if within 30 days of activation and unused, you may cancel deduction in Alipay and request a refund via iQIYI customer service.
• Approved refunds via this route may take 3 - 5 working days to process.
• Reference: Alipay refunds (php.cn).

Common mistakes

Not cancelling in the correct place

A common error is attempting to cancel an App Store or Google Play subscription through iQIYI’s website. Those subscriptions must be ended in the store where they were purchased.

Missing the renewal window

Users sometimes cancel too close to the renewal time and still get charged. Always cancel at least 24 hours before the next billing date to avoid unwanted charges.

Assuming refund guarantees

Many expect automatic refunds after cancelling. iQIYI’s policy is generally non-refundable; refunds may be considered only for errors or special cases.
