How the service works
Promolta is a promotion platform for music and video content. It is used by artists, creators, and marketers who want extra exposure through paid campaigns rather than organic growth alone. The company website points users to campaign-based promotion tools, while refund and terms pages confirm that paid services can include auto-refill billing and trial offers (promolta.com).
For users in the Philippines, the key thing to understand is that Promolta is not a typical streaming subscription like Spotify or Netflix. You are usually paying for promotional activity tied to your content. The public company address listed for headquarters is in Sunnyvale, California, and the service website is Promolta official website.
What users actually pay for
People usually pay for campaign promotion, visibility boosts, or related marketing services. One verified public price point is the Growth Campaign at $10.00 (₱10)* as a one-time charge, though Promolta also says fees vary by service and current pricing may appear on the site or inside your dashboard (promolta.com).
The truth is, Promolta’s pricing is less transparent than it should be. Public pages do not clearly list a full subscription catalog for the Philippines, so many users only see exact charges during checkout or inside their account. That matters because auto-refill can be switched on during purchase, and that is where repeat charges usually start.
Availability and billing setup in the Philippines
Promolta appears accessible in the Philippines through its website, but the research data does not show local language support, local phone support, or published PHP-only pricing. The support channel publicly listed is email at [email protected], with no live chat and no published customer service hours (promolta.com).
If you signed up from the Philippines, take note that Promolta’s terms mention free trials or discounted offers that can convert into paid service if you do not cancel before renewal (promolta.com). That means the business model can include trial-to-paid conversion, one-time campaign purchases, and recurring auto-refill, depending on what you selected at checkout.
Checks to do before you send the cancellation request
Many Promolta users get frustrated when cancellation feels vague, then a new charge appears because the request was sent too late. Based on Promolta’s refund page, you need to cancel before billing for a new cycle. If you wait until the renewal date or after it, Promolta says auto-refill payments are authorized and generally not refundable (promolta.com).
Before you contact support, gather four things. Save a screenshot of your current campaign or subscription page, note your renewal date, find the original confirmation email, and check the exact amount charged. If your bank statement shows a recent renewal, record the posting date because that can matter later if you dispute the charge with your card issuer, GCash, or Maya.
- Screenshot your account dashboard and active service
- Save the last invoice or confirmation email
- Note the next billing date
- Write down the payment amount in ₱
- Check whether auto-refill was enabled at checkout
Cancel through the Promolta website and support page
Promolta’s verified cancellation route is email. The refund page says you should email [email protected] before the billing of a new cycle if you want to cancel a product or service (promolta.com). There is a help page here: Promolta refund and cancellation page.
There is no verified click path such as Settings > Subscription > Cancel on the public support documents provided here. Since Promolta itself directs users to email support, the practical process is to log in, confirm the service name and renewal date, then send a clear cancellation message from the same email linked to your account. Put your account email, service name, renewal date, and a direct statement that you want auto-refill turned off.
A simple message works best. Say that you want to cancel the active service before the next billing cycle, ask them to disable auto-refill immediately, and request written confirmation by email. If you are still inside a trial period, say that clearly in the subject line because Promolta states that no refunds are offered once the free trial has expired and you chose to continue (promolta.com).
Exact email format that avoids the usual delay
Customer service delays of several days are a known complaint in the research data, so your email should be precise. Use a subject like: Cancel Promolta auto-refill before renewal. In the body, include your full name, account email, campaign name, date of next renewal, and the amount of the last charge.
Also ask for two things in one email. Ask them to cancel the service and confirm that future billing is stopped. If you are reporting a malfunction or billing error, attach screenshots immediately. Promolta’s refund page says a malfunction must be reported while the service is still active so support can verify it, and billing error claims need proof that you unsubscribed before the renewal date (promolta.com).
- Send from your registered email address
- Use a subject with the word cancel
- Attach screenshots of plan and billing date
- Request written confirmation
- Save the sent email in PDF form
Email, phone, and postal options
The only verified direct support channel for cancellation is email at [email protected]. No support phone number is available, no live chat is available, and service hours are not specified in the public support details. That makes email your main evidence trail, so send it before the renewal date, not on the same day.
If you want extra proof, you can also send a written notice by registered mail to the company address, though this is not the primary published cancellation route. A modern option some consumers use instead of traditional registered mail is Postclic, which creates a timestamped digital proof trail for sending, delivery, and opening. Use postal notice only as backup, since Promolta’s own policy points to email.
After you cancel, what changes on your account
Access to the service and campaign status
Promolta says that if you cancel a product or service, it does not refund the rest of the month, year, or billing period for the unsubscribed service (promolta.com). In plain language, that usually means you may keep whatever access remains in the current paid period, but you should not expect money back for unused days.
If your service is campaign-based, your active promotion may simply run through the paid period or remain tied to what was already purchased. Since Promolta does not publish a detailed post-cancellation timeline for each product type, the safest move is to screenshot the account immediately after support confirms cancellation and again on the date your current billing period ends.
What happens if you do not cancel in time
Promolta’s terms say that if you selected auto-refill during checkout, you will be auto-billed at the beginning of the next payment cycle (promolta.com). That means missing the deadline by even one billing cycle can trigger a new authorized charge, and Promolta’s refund page says no refunds will be given for payments made on auto-refill.
This is where many users get caught. If you planned to stop after a trial or discounted period, the account can roll into paid billing unless you cancel before renewal. Put a calendar reminder at least three days before the renewal date so you have time to follow up if support replies slowly.
Your data after cancellation
Promolta’s public terms do not specify how long account data is retained after cancellation, and they do not explain a user-facing export tool on the pages verified here. Since one negative review mentions long-running contact and deletion concerns, save any records you may need before you cancel.
Download or screenshot your campaign settings, invoices, and confirmation emails. If you also want your personal data deleted, send that as a separate written request in the same email thread so there is a paper trail. Promolta’s public terms do not clearly explain data retention after cancellation, so written proof matters.
General refund policy
Many users feel annoyed when a service accepts cancellation but still refuses a refund. Promolta’s refund page is very direct: once you pass the trial period and choose to continue with the product, Promolta generally does not offer refunds. It also says no refunds will be given for payments made on auto-refill (promolta.com).
Promolta also says that if you cancel a product or service, it does not provide a refund for the remainder of the month, year, or billing period for an unsubscribed service (promolta.com). So, if you paid and then changed your mind halfway through the cycle, the normal outcome is no pro-rated refund.
Cases where a refund may still be possible
There are two clear exceptions in the verified policy. One is product malfunction. Promolta says it will provide a refund if the product malfunctions, but you must report the malfunction to [email protected] while the service is still active so they can verify it (promolta.com).
The second is billing error. If you were charged after canceling, Promolta says you must provide proof, including the confirmation email showing that you unsubscribed before, not on or after, the renewal date for that service (promolta.com). This is why saving the confirmation email is not optional. It is your strongest piece of evidence.
How to ask for a refund in practice
Send the refund request by email to [email protected]. Put Refund Request in the subject line, then attach the confirmation email, invoice, screenshots of your dashboard, and any proof of malfunction or billing error. If the issue is fake views or poor campaign quality, frame the complaint around measurable malfunction only if you can document that the service failed to work as sold.
If Promolta does not resolve an unauthorized or continued charge, users in the Philippines can escalate to their bank, credit card issuer, GCash, or Maya and request a chargeback. BSP rules commonly give cardholders up to 60 days from the statement date to dispute a transaction. You can also file a consumer complaint with DTI under the Consumer Act, RA 7394. Keep screenshots of cancellation confirmation and the bank charge for evidence.
Terms of service clauses that matter before you subscribe
Auto-renewal and free trial conversion
The most important clause in Promolta’s terms is the auto-refill rule. The terms say that if you select auto-refill during checkout, you will be auto-billed at the beginning of your next payment cycle, and those payments are treated as authorized transactions (promolta.com). For users in the Philippines, that means forgetting to cancel can be expensive even if the service only cost a small amount at first.
The terms also mention free trials or discounted services for a limited period so you can try the product before buying. The catch is simple: if you do not want to continue, cancel before the free trial ends or before the renewal date. Once the trial period expires and you continue, Promolta says no refunds are offered (promolta.com).
Missing details in the public terms
Some important terms are not specified in the public data provided here. Promolta does not clearly state a commitment duration, applicable law, dispute resolution path, or data retention period after cancellation on the verified terms summary. That lack of detail makes it more important to keep your own records of every email and charge.
There is also no early termination fee found in the terms data. That is the good part. If you cancel before the next billing cycle, there is no published cancellation fee and no published early termination penalty in the verified materials.
Published price points and what they show
Promolta does not publish a full public price list for the Philippines in the verified data. One confirmed item is the Growth Campaign at $10.00 (₱10)* as a one-time charge. Promolta also says that fees vary by service and may appear on the site or in your dashboard, which suggests customized or campaign-specific pricing.
| Plan | Price (USD / PHP) | Period |
| Growth Campaign | $10.00 (₱10)* | One-time |
Prices are approximate, converted from USD at the rate 1 USD ≈ 1.0 PHP. Check the official website for exact local prices.
Value for money and billing notes
With only one verified public price point, there is no reliable way to compare monthly and annual plans because Promolta does not publicly list them in the verified sources. What we can say is that the company’s terms allow auto-refill, so a low entry price can still lead to repeat charges if you do not cancel on time.
If you only wanted a one-time promotion, review the checkout details carefully before paying. The practical question is not just the headline price. The real question is whether auto-refill was enabled and whether the campaign result matched what you expected. Users in the research data also reported concerns about fake views, which can affect perceived value.
Your rights in the Philippines if cancellation goes wrong
Laws that matter for online subscriptions
For users in the Philippines, the main rules are the Consumer Act of the Philippines, RA 7394, and the E-Commerce Act, RA 8792. These laws support fair dealing, accurate disclosure, and online transaction rights. In a Promolta dispute, they matter most when charges continue after cancellation or when the service sold does not match what was advertised.
There is no universal statutory cooling-off period for all online purchases in the Philippines. Door-to-door or direct sales can have a 7 working day cooling-off period, but ordinary online subscriptions do not get a blanket rule of that kind. That means your strongest practical protection with Promolta is still your own evidence: cancellation email, timestamps, invoices, and screenshots.
How this applies to Promolta specifically
If you subscribed to Promolta through its website and the service renewed after you canceled in time, you can challenge that charge using your confirmation email and billing records. If the product malfunctioned and support did not resolve it, that can also support a refund complaint because Promolta’s own refund page allows refunds for verified malfunction reported while the service is active (promolta.com).
If Promolta’s terms are silent on a point such as data retention or dispute resolution, Philippine consumer agencies can still look at whether the transaction was fairly handled. The law will not automatically force a refund for simple change of mind, but it can help when there is misleading conduct, non-delivery, or a documented billing problem.
Where to complain and what to send
For consumer complaints, contact DTI and prepare a short timeline with dates, amounts, and screenshots. Include your account email, the date you canceled, the date of the charge, and Promolta’s response if any. If the issue is a card or e-wallet charge, also file a dispute with your bank, GCash, Maya, or card issuer within 60 days from the statement date when possible.
Useful public channels include DTI Philippines and Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas. DTI handles consumer complaints under RA 7394, while BSP is relevant for payment disputes and bank-supervised institutions.
What customers say about cancellation and support delays
Overall verdict from available reviews
Based on the review data provided here, cancellation looks more difficult than it should be. The sentiment sample is 0 positive and 1 negative out of 1 unique review, so the evidence base is small, but it points to persistent frustration around customer service and data handling rather than a smooth self-service process.
Local issue data also shows two recurring pain points: reports of fake views and slow customer service responses, sometimes taking several days. That lines up with the fact that Promolta publicly lists email as the main support route and does not publish live chat or phone support.
Recurring themes and source summary
| Theme | Frequency | Typical example |
| Slow support | Repeated | Email replies take days |
| Data concerns | Observed | Deletion request disputed |
| Traffic quality | Repeated | Users mention fake views |
| Source | Rating | Number of reviews |
| TrustPilot | 1/5 | 1 |
| Source | Rating | Main topic | Sentiment |
| TrustPilot | 1/5 | Customer service | Negative |
- "Promolta have been harassing me for years. I made a mistake to sign up with them 5 years ago and since that, they kept chasing me. I have asked them 4 years ago to never contact me again and to erase all my data. They deny this request for deletion and kept sending me emails. I have reminded them 6 months ago that they have no right to contact me anymore and that my data should have been erased 4 years earlier. They just don't care." (TrustPilot)
Since only negative review evidence was supplied here, that is the honest picture from the available sample. To stay balanced, the public policy pages are at least clear on one point: Promolta does state the email channel and the refund rules in plain terms, which is better than hiding them behind a support wall.
Documents to prepare before and after you cancel
What to save before sending the request
Prepare your records before you hit send. The most useful documents are the account screenshot showing the active service, the billing page, the renewal date, and the original sign-up or invoice email. If there was a trial, save proof of the trial end date because Promolta’s refund policy changes sharply once the trial expires (promolta.com).
- Account dashboard screenshot
- Plan or campaign name screenshot
- Renewal date screenshot
- Invoice or receipt email
- Payment statement entry
What to keep for refund claims and disputes
If you later need a refund or chargeback, the key items are your sent cancellation email, Promolta’s reply, the exact amount charged, and any confirmation showing you unsubscribed before the renewal date. Promolta specifically says billing error claims need that proof (promolta.com).
After cancellation, monitor your statement for at least one more cycle. Save screenshots from your bank app, GCash, or Maya if any new charge appears. That evidence is what DTI, BSP, or your card issuer will ask for if you escalate the case.
Sending the request on the renewal date
This is the biggest mistake. Promolta says you should cancel before billing of a new cycle, and billing error claims need proof that you unsubscribed before, not on or after, the renewal date (promolta.com). If your renewal is on June 15, do not wait until June 15. Send the request a few days earlier.
A realistic example is a user who sees the charge pending in the morning and emails support that afternoon. In Promolta’s system, that can already be too late. The safer move is to email at least three days before renewal and follow up the next day if there is no response.
Expecting a pro-rated refund after cancellation
Some users assume canceling mid-cycle means the unused balance will be returned. Promolta says the opposite. It does not provide a refund for the remainder of the month, year, or billing period for an unsubscribed service (promolta.com).
If you no longer need the service, cancel anyway to stop the next charge. Just do not build your plan around getting half the month back, because the policy does not support that outcome.
Reporting a malfunction after the service already ended
Promolta allows a refund for product malfunction only if you report it while the service is still active so it can be verified (promolta.com). If you wait until after expiration, you weaken your case immediately.
For example, if campaign delivery looked broken on a Tuesday and the service ends on Friday, email support on Tuesday with screenshots and timestamps. Do not wait until next week and expect the same result.
Failing to ask for written confirmation
Email-only cancellation means proof is everything. If you send a vague message like Please stop this, you may not have enough to show what service you meant or when you sent the request. Always ask support to confirm that auto-refill is disabled and that no future billing will occur.
This also protects you if support replies slowly. Your sent timestamp helps, and a clear confirmation email helps even more if a charge later appears on your statement.
Side by side comparison
| Method | Notice period | Fee | Difficulty |
| Email | Before next billing | No fee found | Easy |
| App Store (iOS) | Before next billing | No fee found | Medium |
| Google Play (Android) | Before next billing | No fee found | Medium |
| Registered mail | 5-10 business days | No fee found | Higher, best proof |
Key takeaway before you choose a route
Email is the only verified Promolta cancellation channel in the source material, so it is the most grounded option for direct website purchases. App Store and Google Play only matter if your payment actually went through those stores. If you were billed directly by Promolta, canceling inside Apple or Google will not stop a direct website auto-refill.
Registered mail can help if you want a backup paper trail, but it is slower. For most users in the Philippines, the fastest practical approach is email plus saved screenshots, then statement monitoring after the billing date passes.
What to do after cancellation is confirmed
Immediate checks and statement monitoring
As soon as you receive confirmation, screenshot it and save it in cloud storage or as a PDF. Then add two calendar reminders: one on the next expected billing date and another 30 days later. This helps you catch continued charges early, especially when support is slow.
Watch your card, bank, GCash, or Maya statement for at least one more billing cycle. If an unauthorized or continued charge appears, request a chargeback quickly. In the Philippines, cardholders commonly have up to 60 days from the statement date to dispute a transaction with their issuer or e-wallet provider, and DTI can handle the consumer side of the complaint under RA 7394.
Alternatives if you still need creator tools
If you are leaving Promolta but still want growth tools, three alternatives from the research data stand out. vidIQ focuses on YouTube analytics and SEO at $7.50 - $39 per month (₱7.50 - ₱39)*. Pictory turns text into videos at $19 - $39 per month (₱19 - ₱39)*. Submagic focuses on AI subtitles and short-form editing at $19 per month (₱19)*.
These are not direct replacements for every Promolta campaign type, but they may be more useful if your goal is content optimization rather than paid exposure. If your main complaint was traffic quality, a tool-based workflow may feel more transparent than outsourced promotion.
Useful links
Physical address on record
Promolta handles cancellation through email in the verified support material, not through a published mailing workflow. If you still want to send a written notice for backup, use this company address:
- 440 N Wolfe Rd, Sunnyvale, CA, 94085
This appears to be a company or headquarters address, not a dedicated cancellation desk. That is why email remains the main practical route.
Best way to use the address without slowing yourself down
If you choose to send a written notice, do it only as a secondary record and do not wait for mail before emailing [email protected]. Registered mail can take 5 to 10 business days, which is too slow if your renewal date is close.
The smart play is simple: send the email cancellation right away, save proof, and use the postal address only if you want an extra layer of documentation. For most Promolta users in the Philippines, that avoids the common mess of late cancellation, denied refunds, and missing proof.
