Cancel Neon: Easy Method

What is Neon

Overview

Neon is a New Zealand streaming service operated by Sky Network Television Limited that offers TV shows, movies and original content for a monthly or annual fee.

How it’s delivered

Neon is delivered via web browsers, mobile apps and smart-TV platforms, and can also be bundled through third parties such as Spark.

How to cancel Neon

Cancel via Neon website (recommended)

• Sign in at the Neon website and go to My Account.
• Choose Plan & Payment, then select Cancel and follow the prompts.
• Your subscription remains active until the end of the prepaid period.
• Neon help: cancelling

Cancel via app stores or third parties

• If you subscribed through the Apple App Store or Google Play, cancel via your app-store subscription management; Neon’s help centre has no explicit in-app cancellation steps.
• If you signed up through a third party (for example Spark), you may need to cancel via that provider’s account or app (for example MySpark).
• For third-party bundles, check the billing party before cancelling to avoid unexpected charges.

What happens when you cancel

Access after cancellation

When you cancel, you keep access to Neon until the end of the prepaid billing period you’ve already paid for.

Renewals and reactivation

Cancelling prevents future renewals at the end of the current period. You can re-subscribe later; reactivation may create a new billing period immediately or at next payment, depending on how you sign up.

Data and account information

Neon retains account details per its terms. If you used a third party, that provider may also retain billing records and account links.

Will I get a refund?

Neon’s standard refund position

Neon generally does not provide refunds for prepaid subscriptions. This is the default position in Neon’s terms and help pages.

Exceptions and pro‑rata refunds

• If Neon ends your subscription and gives at least one month’s notice before the end of your subscription period, they will provide a pro‑rata refund for the remainder.
• Movie rentals are explicitly non‑refundable.
• Disputed charges or faults may be handled under consumer law - see the consumer rights section below.

Your consumer rights in New Zealand

Statutory protections

New Zealand consumer law (for example the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993) provides mandatory protections that cannot be excluded by contract.

How this applies to Neon

• Neon’s terms state they do not limit your statutory rights under NZ law.
• There is generally no automatic 14‑day cooling‑off right for digital streaming consumed immediately, so Neon’s no‑refund policy for prepaid services is generally lawful unless the service is faulty.
• If the service is defective, you may be entitled to remedy under consumer guarantees rather than a standard refund policy.

Customer experiences

Positive notes

Some users report that Neon offers a strong selection of shows and movies compared with other NZ services, making it attractive despite technical issues.

Common complaints

• Reports include buffering, poor performance on certain devices (notably Google TV / Android TV), and lack of 4K or full surround sound on some plans.
• Users also describe sluggish app UI, freezing, long lags, autoplay issues and subtitle problems on forums such as Reddit.

Documentation checklist

Essential items to have ready

• Account email and password (or screenshot of logged‑in account).
• Subscription ID or order/reference number (if available).
• Proof of payment or receipt for the current billing period.

Third‑party and app‑store specifics

• If you subscribed via Apple/Google, open the corresponding app‑store purchase history to identify the subscription entry.
• If billed via a third party (for example Spark), have your MySpark account details or bundle reference ready.

Common mistakes

Cancelling the wrong way

Many users try to cancel at neon.co.nz but actually subscribed through the App Store or Google Play; cancelling on the website in that case will not stop app‑store charges.

Assuming immediate refunds

Expecting a refund immediately after cancelling is a common mistake. Neon normally allows access until the prepaid period ends and does not issue refunds for unused time unless specific exceptions apply.

Not checking third‑party billing

Failing to confirm whether a third party handles billing (for example a telco bundle) can leave you still billed by that provider after cancelling Neon directly.
