Cancel Rest Is History: Easy Method
What is Rest Is History
Overview
Rest Is History is a subscription-supported podcast and membership service that offers ad-free episodes, bonus content and early access for supporters.
The service is managed via the Rest Is History website and through third-party app stores (Apple App Store and Google Play) depending on how you subscribed.
Service delivery
Memberships unlock podcast content and member-only extras delivered digitally to your devices and accounts.
Billing and subscription control depend on the channel you used to subscribe (website, Apple or Google Play).
How to cancel Rest Is History
Cancel via the website (Web subscriptions)

- Select "Cancel" and follow the on-screen prompts to confirm cancellation.
- If you cannot cancel online, email support at help@supportingcast.fm for assistance.

What happens when you cancel
Access after cancellation
For web subscriptions, access continues until the end of the current billing cycle after you cancel.
For Apple and Google subscriptions, access typically continues until the end of the paid period managed by those platforms.
Renewal and data
Cancelling prevents future renewals but does not retroactively change prior payments.
Rest Is History retains account and subscription data per its terms; contact support for data or account-export requests.
Will I get a refund?
Official Rest Is History policy
Rest Is History’s Terms of Service state that payments for web subscriptions are non-refundable and no partial credits are issued for unused periods.
See the Terms: Rest Is History Terms.
Exceptions and local law
- Apple and Google may have their own refund processes for purchases made through their stores; contact them directly for those refunds.
- New Zealand consumer law may provide statutory rights (for example, remedies if a service is not delivered as promised or if unfair terms apply).
- If you believe you are entitled to a statutory refund or remedy under New Zealand law, you may raise that separately with Rest Is History or with local consumer authorities.

Your consumer rights in New Zealand
Statutory protections
Under New Zealand consumer law you have statutory rights that cannot be contracted out of, including remedies for services not provided with reasonable care and skill.
These rights operate in addition to any contractual terms Rest Is History sets out in its Terms of Service.
How to pursue remedies
- Document the issue (dates, screenshots, receipts) and contact Rest Is History support via email.
- If unresolved, you may escalate to consumer protection agencies in New Zealand or seek independent advice on unfair contract terms and statutory remedies.
- Refer to the Terms for the provider’s statement that mandatory consumer protection laws in your jurisdiction apply: Terms of Service.
Customer experiences
Positive notes
There are no formal New Zealand-specific reviews located on major review sites such as Trustpilot or ProductReview NZ.
Many users value the ad-free episodes and bonus content available to members.
Reported issues
Some users report Apple Podcasts not recognising an active membership even when Apple confirms it; this has required cancelling and re-subscribing via the website as a workaround.
Instances of subscriptions disappearing from Apple Podcasts (requiring re-adding) have been reported on public forums such as Reddit.
Documentation checklist
What to gather before you cancel
- Account email and username used for the Rest Is History subscription.
- Purchase receipts or order confirmation emails (website, Apple or Google receipts).
- Screenshots of subscription settings and the active membership status, if applicable.
What to include when contacting support
- Clear description of the issue, dates and any steps you have already taken.
- Attach relevant receipts, screenshots and the device or app used to subscribe.
- Send details to help@supportingcast.fm if you cannot cancel online.
Common mistakes
Cancelling in the wrong place
Many people try to cancel on the Rest Is History site when they actually subscribed through Apple or Google Play.
Always check your purchase receipt to see which channel processed the payment before cancelling.
Expecting an automatic refund
Assuming you will receive a refund after cancelling is a common error - Rest Is History’s web policy is no refunds and no partial credits.
If you believe a refund is required under New Zealand law or an app store policy, follow the appropriate channels rather than assuming an automatic refund.
