What is Clixsense
Clixsense is now ySense, and that matters when you cancel
Clixsense is the old name of ySense, an online rewards platform where you earn money by answering surveys, completing offers, and doing small tasks. That name change is one reason many users in the Philippines get confused during cancellation, especially when they search for old account pages or older help articles. The service runs mainly online and points users to its FAQ and support channels rather than to a local Philippine office.
Based on the available source material, Clixsense later became part of the ySense ecosystem and is associated with Prodege according to user reviews. The core model is simple: the basic account is free, while a paid Premium membership has also been reported at $17.00 (₱17)* per year with extra earning perks such as more daily ads, more ClixGrid chances, and higher referral commissions "Premium Membership Details" (earnings-ptc.com).
What people actually pay for on the platform
Most users do not pay anything to open a standard account. The paid option mentioned in the research is the annual Premium membership at $17.00 (₱17)* per year, which is meant to boost activity-based earnings rather than unlock a separate content library. In plain terms, you pay for earning advantages, not for entertainment or cloud storage.
The listed Premium benefits include 4 guaranteed daily ads instead of 1, 60 ClixGrid chances instead of 30, a 5-second ClixGrid timer instead of 10 seconds, and stronger referral commissions "Premium Membership Details" (earnings-ptc.com). Here is the catch: many users who want to cancel are not just ending a subscription. Some are also trying to close an account because they feel the earning model is not worth the time.
How Clixsense works in the Philippines
For users in the Philippines, Clixsense does not appear to offer localized Philippine pricing on its public material, and support is handled online in English. The platform does not list a Philippine customer hotline, local office, GCash billing page, or Maya billing page in the verified sources. Support details available from research point to a global setup: email at [email protected], phone at +1 510-564-7359, and a FAQ page at clixsense.com/faq.
Heads up if you are in the Philippines: two locally relevant complaints appear in the research data. Users report account deactivation without a clear cause and difficulty contacting support for account-related issues. That is why your best move before canceling is to save proof early, especially screenshots of your plan, earnings balance, and any messages in your account.
How to cancel Clixsense without getting stuck
Checks to do before you click anything
A lot of frustration starts when users cancel too late, lose access to proof, or forget to withdraw what they can. Before you cancel, take screenshots of your account dashboard, current membership level, earnings balance, and any renewal or upgrade page you can still access. If you paid for Premium, also save the date you upgraded and the payment amount shown in your receipt.
If you are trying to avoid another charge, cancel before the next billing date. For the Premium membership reported in the research, billing is annual at $17.00 (₱17)*, so the risk is not a monthly surprise but a yearly renewal you may forget about. Also download or save any payout history because support contact can be slow, and Philippine users have already flagged account access issues.
- Screenshot your profile and membership page.
- Save payment emails and transaction IDs.
- Check whether you still have earnings pending.
- Note your next renewal date in your calendar.
Cancel through the website or account area
Clixsense, now ySense, is mainly a web-based service, so the normal cancellation route is through your account. The public FAQ is at Clixsense FAQ, and that should be your starting point if the account menu has changed. Because the platform has changed branding over time, some menus may use ySense naming instead of Clixsense naming.
The most practical click path is this: log in, open your account settings or profile menu, look for membership or upgrade details, then find the option to end Premium renewal or downgrade to the standard free account. If your screen does not show a direct cancel button, use the FAQ page and contact support from there right away with a clear subject line such as "Cancel Premium Membership" and include your username, registered email, payment date, and the exact amount charged.
The truth is, Clixsense's cancellation flow looks more confusing than it should be because the service also runs on a free model. Some users are not canceling a classic subscription at all. They are either stopping auto-renewal for Premium or asking to close the whole account. Treat those as two separate actions and say clearly which one you want.
Cancel by email or phone if the account page does not help
If the site menu is unclear or your account is locked, email support at [email protected]. Write a short message in plain English with the subject "Cancel account" or "Stop Premium renewal." Add your username, registered email, date of last payment, and attach screenshots. Research data lists support as available 24/7, but response speed is not guaranteed, and customer feedback suggests support can feel hard to reach.
You can also try the listed phone number, +1 510-564-7359. Since this is an international number, Philippine users should expect possible long-distance charges from their carrier. If you call, note the date, time in Philippine time, the name of the agent if given, and what was promised. That record matters if a charge appears later.
Cancel by registered letter if you want stronger proof
You can send a cancellation request by registered mail to the listed address from the research file, but there is a warning here: the note says ySense does not publicly provide a cancellation address and that third-party directory addresses may be inaccurate. Use mail only if your online access is blocked or support does not respond, and mention both your request to end Premium renewal and your request to close the account if that is what you want.
If you prefer not to line up at a post office, a service like Postclic can be used as a digital version of registered mail with time-stamped proof of sending, receipt, and opening. That can help if you need a clean evidence trail for a bank dispute later.
After you cancel, what changes in your account
Access usually depends on whether you had Premium or a free account
If you only had a free Clixsense account, cancellation usually means closing the account or simply stopping use of the service. There is no recurring fee to stop in that situation. If you had the paid Premium option at $17.00 (₱17)* per year, the practical expectation is that your paid perks continue until the end of the current paid period unless support tells you otherwise.
Because the verified sources do not spell out a detailed post-cancellation timeline, you should assume the safest scenario: renewal stops, but your account may remain visible or usable in standard form until the current membership period ends. Save proof of the date support confirms cancellation so you can compare it with any future charge.
What happens if you do nothing
If you paid for Premium and do nothing before renewal, the membership can renew on the next annual billing date tied to your prior upgrade. That is why screenshots and a calendar reminder matter more here than with a monthly service. One missed date can mean another full year of charges instead of a small monthly amount.
If you use only the free account and do nothing, there is normally no subscription fee risk. Your bigger risk is leaving earnings or account data behind, especially if the account is later deactivated without a clear explanation, which is one of the common complaints flagged in the Philippine research set.
Your data, earnings, and payout history
The verified material does not give a clear public data retention timetable after account closure. That means you should export what you can before requesting closure. Save your payout history, screenshots of pending earnings, referral data if relevant, and any support tickets already submitted through the platform.
If your goal is only to stop paying for Premium, ask support to confirm that your base account stays active and that only renewal is stopped. If your goal is full closure, ask what happens to unpaid earnings before you submit the request. This avoids the common mistake of shutting the account and only later realizing you needed one more screenshot.
Refunds are possible in some cases, but do not expect automatic goodwill
What the public information says about refunds
No specific cancellation fee was found in the Terms data, and no clear public refund clause was provided in the research pack. In simple terms, Clixsense does not publicly give you a neat refund promise in the material available here. That means you should not assume a pro-rated refund just because you stopped using the service halfway through the year.
Customer sentiment also does not suggest an easy refund environment. Reviews are heavily negative, with 5 out of 5 unique reviews in the research set rated negative, and some complaints focus on earnings and support problems rather than straightforward billing help. That does not prove every refund request fails, but it is a clear sign to prepare evidence before asking.
Your rights in the Philippines for cancellation and refund disputes
In the Philippines, consumer complaints for online subscriptions can fall under the Consumer Act of the Philippines, Republic Act No. 7394, and DTI complaint handling. For direct sales, there is a 7-working-day cooling-off period in specific situations, but there is no universal statutory cooling-off rule for every online purchase. For a service like Clixsense, that means your strongest practical argument is often proof of unclear charging, unauthorized renewal, or non-delivery of the paid benefit rather than a general "I changed my mind" request.
If a continued or unauthorized charge hits your card or e-wallet after cancellation, BSP dispute rules matter. Cardholders in the Philippines typically have up to 60 days from the statement date to dispute a transaction with the bank, card issuer, GCash, or Maya. Save your cancellation confirmation, screenshots, and all emails because those are the documents a dispute team will ask for.
How to ask for a refund step by step
Send your refund request to [email protected] and be specific. State the charge date, amount, payment method, and the reason. Good examples are duplicate billing, renewal after a prior cancellation request, or account access loss immediately after payment. Attach screenshots of your account, confirmation email, and bank or wallet record.
If support does not respond within a reasonable window, usually 5 to 10 business days for a billing complaint, contact your payment provider. For credit cards, ask for a chargeback. For GCash or Maya linked cards or wallet charges, report the transaction through their support channels and say it is a continued or unauthorized subscription charge. DTI handles consumer complaints under RA 7394, so you can escalate there if the merchant side stays silent.
Clixsense plans and pricing for Philippine users
Current recurring plans
Plan | Price (USD / PHP) | Billing period | What you get |
Premium Membership | $17.00 (₱17)* | Annual | Extra earning perks |
Subscription listing in research | $9.99 (₱10)* | Monthly | Not clearly described |
Prices are approximate, converted from USD at the rate 1 USD ≈ 1.0 PHP, and you should check the official website for the exact local price before paying.
Which plan costs more, and where the data is messy
The annual Premium membership at $17.00 (₱17)* is the clearest plan described in the source material "Premium Membership Details" (earnings-ptc.com). The research file also includes a monthly "Clixsense Subscription" at $9.99 (₱10)*, but it does not describe that plan clearly and another source note says ySense operates mainly on a free-to-use model. So, if you are checking your own account, trust your billing receipt and membership page over old directory-style listings.
If the annual Premium charge is the one on your account, it is the more credible recurring figure in this data set. There is no verified evidence here of hidden cancellation fees, and none were identified in the research. There is also no documented price increase history in the verified source set beyond the note that the $17 annual fee has stayed consistent for several years (earnings-ptc.com).
Philippine consumer rights that can help if Clixsense will not cooperate
Laws and agencies that matter for an online service like this
For users in the Philippines, the main law to know is the Consumer Act of the Philippines, Republic Act No. 7394. In a Clixsense billing dispute, this law supports your right to clear information, fair dealing, and access to complaint channels through the Department of Trade and Industry. If your problem is not a bad survey result but an actual charge that continued after cancellation, this is where your complaint becomes much stronger.
For card and wallet disputes, the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas also matters because continued or unauthorized charges can be challenged through your bank, card issuer, or e-wallet provider. BSP rules typically give cardholders up to 60 days from the statement date to file a dispute. That deadline is practical, not theoretical, so do not sit on a bad charge while waiting weeks for a reply from support.
Cooling-off rights and how they apply here
The Philippines has a 7-working-day cooling-off period for certain direct sales or door-to-door sales. That rule is not a universal cancellation right for every online subscription. For Clixsense, which is mainly a digital web service, the stronger route is usually to show that the charge was unclear, repeated after cancellation, or tied to benefits you could not access.
If you paid and your account was then deactivated without clear cause, document that timeline immediately. A screen showing payment on one date and blocked access shortly after can support your complaint better than a general statement that you no longer want the service.
How to file a complaint in the Philippines
Start with the merchant side: email support, ask for cancellation or refund, and save the full thread. If that fails, file a complaint with DTI and include the exact dates, charge amount, screenshots, and your attempts to contact the company. If the charge went through a bank card, GCash, Maya, or another regulated payment channel, file a dispute there too.
Useful public contacts can change, so use the official websites for current complaint channels. DTI handles consumer complaints under RA 7394, while BSP helps with payment disputes involving supervised financial institutions. In practice, filing both the merchant complaint and the payment dispute gives you the best shot at a fix.
What users say about cancellation and support
Clear verdict from the available reviews
Based on the research set, cancellation and account resolution look difficult rather than smooth. The overall review trend here is 5 negative out of 5 unique reviews, with repeated complaints about wasted time, weak support, and payout frustration. For Philippine users, that lines up with the local issues flagged in the data: account deactivation without clear cause and difficulty contacting support for account-related issues.
To stay balanced, the platform still has a simple idea that some users like: free entry and multiple ways to earn online. But the review sample provided for this guide is entirely negative, so the trust level around support and easy exits is low.

Documents to prepare before and after you cancel
What to save before sending the request
Before you cancel, save the practical evidence that support or your bank will ask for later. This includes a screenshot of your account page, your current membership level, your registered email, your earnings balance, and any upgrade or payment screen that shows the date and amount. If you paid for Premium, the key figure to keep is the annual amount shown on your receipt, such as $17.00 (₱17)*.
- Account dashboard screenshot
- Membership or upgrade page screenshot
- Receipt email or payment confirmation
- Earnings and payout history screenshot
What to save for a refund or charge dispute
If you ask for a refund, attach hard proof from the start. Include the transaction ID, payment date, amount, payment method, your cancellation request, and any reply from support. If a charge shows on your card, GCash, or Maya, save the statement line and the date it posted.
After cancellation, keep the confirmation email and a screenshot of the final message on screen. Then monitor your payment method for at least one full billing cycle or, for annual Premium, until the next expected renewal date is safely past. That is the easiest way to catch a continued charge in time for a BSP-style dispute window.
Common Clixsense cancellation mistakes that cause headaches
Mixing up account closure and Premium cancellation
A common mistake is telling support "delete my account" when what you really want is "stop annual Premium renewal." Those are not always the same thing. If you close the account too quickly, you may lose easy access to your payment proof or earnings record.
Solution: write both instructions clearly if needed. Example: "Please stop Premium renewal effective immediately. Please do not delete my account until you confirm my payment status." That one sentence can save you a long back-and-forth.
Waiting too long because the charge is annual
With an annual fee like $17.00 (₱17)*, users often forget the renewal date because it does not appear every month. Then one day the charge is back, and support says the new term has already started. That is much more frustrating than a monthly service because the amount covers a full year.
Solution: the day you cancel, create two reminders. Set one for the same day and one a week before the next annual date. If a charge still appears, you will have proof that you acted before renewal.
Trusting support contact without saving proof
Research data flags difficulty contacting support, and one of the reviews directly complains about "robot customer service" (TrustPilot). If you only call and do not save anything, you may have no evidence later. This becomes a serious problem if you need a refund or chargeback.
Solution: always pair your phone call with an email. Save the sent email, screenshots, and any case number. In a dispute, written proof usually matters more than your memory of a conversation.
Assuming every billing problem deserves a refund
Some users expect a pro-rated refund just because they stopped using the site. The public information available here does not promise that. A stronger refund case is a duplicate charge, renewal after cancellation, or loss of paid access right after payment.
Solution: frame your request around a concrete problem. "I was charged after I canceled on March 10" is better than "I did not use the service much." Specific facts get better results than frustration alone.
A quick comparison of your cancellation routes
Methods, notice period, fee, and difficulty
Method | Notice period | Fee | Difficulty |
Web / account | Before next billing | No specified fee | Easy |
Email support | Before next billing | No specified fee | Medium |
Registered mail | 5-10 business days | No specified fee | Higher, best proof |
Key takeaway for choosing the right route
If your account is still accessible, the web route is usually the fastest starting point. If the account page is unclear or you cannot log in, email support immediately so the timestamp shows you acted before renewal. Registered mail is slower, but it adds a stronger paper trail when online support goes quiet.
No single route fits everyone. A user with normal account access may solve it online in minutes, while a user dealing with account deactivation may need email plus mail plus a bank dispute. The best method depends on how much proof you already have and how close you are to the next billing date.
What to do after cancellation so you do not get charged again
Immediate checks in the first 24 hours
Right after canceling, look for a confirmation message on screen or in your inbox. Take a screenshot even if the message seems obvious. Then check that your membership page no longer shows active Premium renewal. If the site still shows paid status without a clear end date, email support the same day and ask for written confirmation.
Also add a reminder in your phone calendar for the next possible renewal date. For an annual plan, that date may be far away, which is exactly why people forget it. A 30-second reminder now can save you a dispute months later.
Watch your bank, card, GCash, or Maya statement
Monitor the payment method used for the charge. If a new Clixsense or ySense charge appears after cancellation, contact the merchant first, then ask your bank or e-wallet for a dispute or chargeback. In the Philippines, users generally have up to 60 days from the statement date to dispute an unauthorized or continued charge under BSP-linked processes.
DTI also handles consumer complaints under the Consumer Act, RA 7394. If you escalate, attach your screenshots, support emails, and payment records. The strongest file is a simple one: clear cancellation date, clear charge date, and proof that the charge came after your request.
Alternatives if you are leaving for good
If you are done with Clixsense, there are other task-and-survey platforms to try. StreetBees is free to join and pays for quick experience-sharing tasks. Swagbucks offers rewards for surveys, shopping, and videos. PrizeRebel also uses a free-to-join model with points redeemable for cash or gift cards.
These alternatives are not risk-free, and earnings still depend on available tasks. But if your issue with Clixsense is support friction or unclear account handling, trying another platform may be easier than fighting a long support thread.
Useful links
The postal address question and the safer online route
The listed address exists in research, but use caution
The research file includes a cancellation address, but it also warns that ySense does not publicly provide a cancellation address and that directory-style addresses may be inaccurate. If you still want to send a letter, use this address exactly as listed:
- 200 Hamilton Blvd21f, South Boston, Virginia, 24592, USA
Because the address may not be official, do not rely on mail alone if a billing date is close. Send your email on the same day and keep copies of everything.
Why the online process is usually the safer route
Clixsense operates primarily online and directs users to its FAQ and support channels for account issues. That means the most realistic cancellation path for Philippine users is through the website account area and support email at [email protected]. The phone number in the research, +1 510-564-7359, can be a backup if you need to follow up urgently.
If you only remember one thing from this guide, make it this: cancel early, save proof, and separate "stop Premium renewal" from "close my account." That simple distinction solves many of the problems users run into with Clixsense.
