What is Travis Ci
A CI service with paid private repo plans
Travis Ci is a cloud CI and CD platform for software teams that want automated testing and deployment. In plain terms, it runs your builds when code changes hit GitHub or other connected repositories, then reports whether the pipeline passed or failed.
For cancellation, here is the key thing: Travis Ci does not clearly publish a simple self-service cancellation path in its Terms. The official billing help points users to support, and billing contact is mainly through [email protected] rather than a prominent cancel button in the account area.
Who runs it and what people usually pay for
The service operates through Travis CI GmbH in Berlin, Germany, with the registered office listed in the Terms materials. Users typically pay for concurrency, build capacity, and business-friendly usage for private projects rather than for a consumer-style app subscription.
Main paid value comes from more build resources and team use. On the pricing side, official plan information is shown on the Travis Ci pricing page, while support and legal information sit in separate documentation pages such as the Terms of Service and billing FAQ.
What using Travis Ci looks like in the Philippines
If you are in the Philippines, the experience is basically the same as in other markets because Travis Ci is web-based. Pricing is published in US dollars, not in Philippine pesos, so local cost will depend on your bank or card conversion rate, foreign transaction fees, and whether you paid by direct card billing or through Apple or Google.
Heads up: local support channels such as GCash or Maya are not listed as official Travis Ci billing routes in the source material. Email support is the main route, and support hours are not stated, so response time can be slower than what many Philippine users expect from SaaS tools.
How to cancel Travis Ci without getting billed again
Do these checks before you send any cancellation request
Many users get frustrated when the process is unclear, when charges continue after cancellation, or when refund replies take too long. With Travis Ci, that frustration is understandable because billing support has been described by users as hard to reach, and one community thread says users could no longer create billing support cases directly (travis-ci.community).
Before canceling, save three things: a screenshot of your current plan, your last invoice or payment record, and your next billing date. Also export any build logs, configuration references, or internal notes you may need later because the Terms do not explain post-cancellation data retention in a clear way.
- Take a screenshot of your active plan and workspace details.
- Save your latest receipt, invoice, or card statement line.
- Write down the date of the next renewal.
- Keep a copy of the email address tied to the account.
Direct cancellation through your account usually starts with support
Based on the available official information, Travis Ci tells users to contact support at [email protected] to cancel. The Terms do not spell out a detailed click-by-click cancellation route, so the practical workflow is to log in, confirm your billing identity, then send a support request with the exact account email, plan name, and a clear sentence asking for cancellation before the next billing date.
Use the billing FAQ as your starting point: Billing FAQ. In your email subject, write something direct such as Cancel subscription before next billing date. In the body, include your Travis Ci account email, team or organization name, plan, last charge amount, and the date of that charge. This reduces back-and-forth and gives you better proof if a dispute comes up later.
If you subscribed through Apple or Google, cancel there instead
Travis Ci documentation also states that App Store and Google Play subscriptions must be canceled through those stores. If your payment went through Apple, open iPhone Settings, tap your Apple ID, open Subscriptions, choose Travis Ci, then tap Cancel Subscription. If the subscription is already inactive, Apple usually shows an expiry date instead of a cancel button.
If your payment went through Google Play, open the Play Store app, tap your profile picture, open Payments and subscriptions, then Subscriptions, select Travis Ci, and tap Cancel subscription. This matters because canceling by email will not reliably stop a store-managed renewal if Apple or Google is the merchant of record.
Email, phone, and postal notice options
The support email on record is [email protected]. An additional contact email mentioned in the service context is [email protected] for formal communication. Phone support appears as (512) 226-8080, but no support hours are published, so email remains the safer proof trail.
If you want stronger documentation, you can send a written cancellation notice to the registered office in Berlin. Traditional registered mail is one option, and some users now use certified digital letter services such as Postclic for timestamped proof of sending and opening. That is useful when you need a clean evidence trail, especially for business accounts with larger monthly charges.
A cancellation email template that usually gets faster action
Use a short message and keep it specific. Write your account email, organization name, plan, last billing date, and a direct request to end renewal before the next charge. Ask for written confirmation that auto-renewal is stopped and that no further charges will be made after the current period.
- Subject: Cancel Travis Ci subscription before next billing date
- Account email: your registered email
- Workspace or organization: exact name
- Plan: exact paid plan
- Last charge: date and amount
- Request: cancel renewal and confirm in writing
After you cancel, here is what usually changes
Access normally runs until the paid period ends
The source material does not give an exact official timeline for service access after cancellation. In practice, for most subscriptions like this, cancellation stops the next renewal and access usually continues until the end of the already paid billing cycle, so if your next billing date is April 30, access generally lasts until that date unless support tells you otherwise.
This is why your confirmation email matters. Ask support to state the final active date in writing. If you cancel on April 10 and you already paid for April, the cleanest outcome is access through the next renewal date with no charge for May.
If you do nothing, billing can continue
The Terms of Service do not clearly spell out an auto-renewal clause in the materials provided. Even so, the presence of recurring monthly plans means you should assume renewal continues until canceled, especially for App Store and Google Play subscriptions where platform billing is designed around recurring charges.
Set a calendar reminder at least three days before the renewal date. That gives you time to follow up if support does not reply quickly, which is a real risk because support hours and response time are not published.
Your data is the biggest unknown
Travis Ci does not clearly state data retention rules after cancellation in the Terms summary provided. That means build history, settings, and account records may not remain accessible in the way you expect after the paid period ends.
Download anything important before you cancel. If your team needs build logs for audits, releases, or incident reviews, treat cancellation like an offboarding process and archive those files before sending the request.
Refunds, billing mistakes, and what actually works
The official refund position is thin
The official material does not give a detailed refund policy for general cancellations, unused time, or billing mistakes. The consistent direction is to contact [email protected] for refund questions, which means refund outcomes are handled case by case rather than through a clear public policy.
The truth is, this is more complicated than it should be. If you cancel halfway through a month, there is no verified statement promising a prorated refund for unused days, so you should not assume one will be granted.
Your rights in the Philippines are separate from Travis Ci's silence
In the Philippines, subscription complaints can fall under the Consumer Act of the Philippines or RA 7394. For online subscriptions, there is no universal cooling-off rule like the seven working day rule that applies more clearly to certain direct sales situations, so a digital SaaS refund depends heavily on the merchant's billing conduct and the payment evidence you can present.
If you were charged after canceling, or charged without clear consent, that is where local remedies matter. DTI handles consumer complaints, while banks, card issuers, GCash, and Maya can process disputes for unauthorized or continued recurring charges.
How to ask for a refund step by step
Send one email to support with the subject Refund request for billing error. Include your account email, invoice or transaction ID, amount charged, charge date, and the reason. Good reasons include duplicate billing, post-cancellation billing, or an App Store or Google Play subscription that did not stop correctly even after timely cancellation.
Ask for two things in the same message: a refund decision and written confirmation that future billing is disabled. If support does not answer within a reasonable period, follow up with the original thread so the whole history stays in one place.
When chargeback becomes the last resort
In the Philippines, cardholders typically have up to 60 days from the statement date to dispute a transaction under BSP-related banking practice. If a Travis Ci charge appears after you canceled and you have screenshots or an email confirmation, contact your bank, card issuer, GCash, or Maya and ask to file a dispute or chargeback for a continued recurring charge.
Use chargeback only after you tried the normal support route unless the charge is clearly unauthorized. Keep screenshots of your cancellation request, confirmation, invoices, and statement entries. If the issue is consumer-facing and unresolved, you can also raise it with DTI under RA 7394.
Terms and subscription conditions that matter before you pay
What the Terms do and do not say
The available Terms summary leaves several practical points unclear. Auto-renewal is not explicitly explained, minimum commitment duration is not specified, free trial conversion terms are not detailed, and post-cancellation data retention is also not specified in the summary based on the Terms page (docs.travis-ci.com).
That means you should not rely on implied protections that are not written down. Before paying, save a copy of the plan page and billing terms shown at checkout because those screens may be more useful than the general Terms page if a dispute happens later.
What this means for real users
If you signed up expecting a no-hassle dashboard cancellation, the documents do not clearly promise that. If you expected a simple refund for unused days, the published material does not clearly promise that either.
For Philippine users, this creates one practical rule: document everything at the moment of signup and again at the moment of cancellation. A screenshot taken in 10 seconds can save you days of follow-up if a charge posts after you already asked to end the subscription.
Travis Ci plans and pricing in Philippine pesos
Current subscription plans from the pricing page
| Plan | Price (USD / PHP) | Period | Main use |
| Bootstrap | $69.00 (₱3,795)* | Monthly | 1 concurrent job |
| Startup | $129.00 (₱7,095)* | Monthly | 2 concurrent jobs |
| Small Business | $249.00 (₱13,695)* | Monthly | 5 concurrent jobs |
| Premium | $489.00 (₱26,895)* | Monthly | 10 concurrent jobs |
| Platinum | $794.00+ (₱43,670+)* | Monthly | 15-300 jobs |
Prices are approximate, converted from USD at 1 USD ≈ 55 PHP. Actual Philippine peso charges may differ because exchange rates and bank fees change. Check the official pricing page for the exact current amount.
Which plan costs the most and least
The least expensive published paid plan in the provided pricing data is Bootstrap at $69.00 (₱3,795)* per month. The most expensive is Platinum at $794.00+ (₱43,670+)* per month, aimed at larger teams that need far more parallel jobs.
If you are paying for Travis Ci but only run occasional builds, you may be overbuying concurrency. For solo developers or small teams, this is the section worth revisiting before renewal because the jump from Startup to Small Business is large in peso terms.
Billing notes for Philippine users
The research set does not provide a verified annual billing discount or a published cancellation fee. It also does not show a formal early termination fee in the Terms, which is good news if you simply want to stop the next monthly renewal.
What can still raise your real cost is foreign exchange conversion on a Philippine card. A posted amount can be slightly above the peso estimate, especially if your bank adds international processing fees.
Your rights in the Philippines when Travis Ci cancellation goes wrong
The local rules that matter most
For Philippine users, the main consumer baseline is the Consumer Act of the Philippines, RA 7394. There is no broad universal cooling-off rule for every online SaaS subscription, so your strongest protection usually comes from proof of the merchant's billing behavior, the checkout terms you saw, and the payment records showing an improper recurring charge.
That matters with Travis Ci because its Terms summary does not clearly define cooling-off rights, withdrawal rights, or detailed dispute steps. If the service keeps billing after you canceled, your practical path is evidence first, then complaint and charge dispute.
How to escalate a problem in plain language
Start with Travis Ci support and give them a short deadline, such as three business days, to confirm cancellation or explain the charge. If there is no useful reply and the charge is already on your card or wallet, contact your bank, GCash, Maya, or card issuer right away and ask for a recurring transaction dispute.
If the issue is a consumer complaint rather than a banking dispute, file with DTI and attach your screenshots, emails, invoice, and statement line. For competition-related concerns at a broader level, the research data names the Philippine Competition Commission, but routine subscription billing complaints are usually more practical through DTI and your payment provider.
Useful authorities and what they can do
DTI can receive consumer complaints involving online subscriptions under RA 7394. BSP-related banking channels are relevant when the issue is unauthorized or continued card billing, and they can be more effective than waiting on an unresponsive merchant when the dispute window is already running.
Because Travis Ci's public documents leave several points unclear, local escalation is not about abstract legal theory. It is about showing a timeline: you canceled on a specific date, the merchant or platform kept billing, and you can prove both events with records.
What customer feedback says about cancellation
Clear verdict: cancellation looks harder than it should be
Overall sentiment in the supplied review set is 0 positive and 1 negative. That is a tiny sample, but it lines up with the community reports about weak billing contact paths and no clear account deletion option, so the signal is consistent even if the volume is low.
The recurring issue is not an obvious hidden trap. It is friction: unclear cancellation steps, support that can be hard to reach, and missing self-service account closure options.
Recurring themes from reviews and community posts
| Theme | Frequency | Typical example |
| Unclear closure path | High | No UI delete option |
| Billing support friction | High | No support case route |
| Slow resolution risk | Medium | Email follow-up needed |
| Source | Rating | Number of reviews |
| TrustPilot | 1/5 | 1 |
| travis-ci.community | Unrated | 2 threads |
- "It seems to be impossible to close your account from their UI. Their chatbot refers to documentation, which does not contain information about closing an account." (TrustPilot)
Balanced reading of the feedback
Only negative review evidence was provided, so it is fair to say the documented cancellation experience leans negative. On the other hand, the service itself remains useful for teams that specifically want CI automation tied to their repositories, and some users stay because the technical product still fits their workflow.
If your issue is billing rather than build quality, the smart move is to document every contact attempt and move quickly when a deadline is approaching. Waiting for a perfect help center answer is often where users lose time.
Documents to gather before and after canceling
What to save before sending the request
Save a screenshot of your active plan, the billing page, and the next renewal date. Also keep one screenshot showing the account email and organization or workspace name because support may ask for exactly those details.
If your team depends on Travis Ci logs for release notes or incident history, export them before you send the cancellation request. The post-cancellation data retention policy is not clearly explained in the Terms summary.
What you need for a refund or dispute
For any refund request, keep the invoice number, transaction ID, amount charged, charge date, and the payment method used. If the charge hit a Philippine card or wallet, save a copy of the statement line with the merchant description shown by the issuer.
After cancellation, keep the confirmation email or at least a sent-email screenshot that shows the date and time. This becomes critical if a renewal posts later and you need to challenge it within the 60-day dispute window.
Using the wrong cancellation channel
A common mistake is emailing Travis Ci support even though the subscription was bought through Apple or Google. In that situation, the store usually controls renewal, so the charge can continue unless you cancel in App Store or Google Play.
Real-world example: you send an email on Monday, assume you are safe, and the renewal posts on Friday because Apple was still the billing manager. Always match the cancellation route to the payment route.
Waiting too close to the billing date
Because support hours are not published, last-minute cancellation is risky. If your renewal is tomorrow and support only answers after the charge is captured, you may end up arguing about a refund instead of simply stopping the renewal in time.
A safer practice is to cancel at least three days before the billing date. That buffer matters even more if your team account has a higher monthly cost such as $249.00 (₱13,695)* or more.
Expecting a prorated refund automatically
The official material does not promise prorated refunds for unused days. Some users assume that canceling halfway through the month means automatic partial credit, but nothing verified here supports that assumption.
The better approach is to ask directly in writing. If support says no, you still have a clean answer and can decide whether the charge was simply non-refundable or truly improper.
Trying to delete the account from the UI
Community reports say there is no clear web UI option for account removal and that support must be contacted directly (travis-ci.community). If you spend an hour hunting for a delete button that does not exist, you lose time that could have gone into sending a documented request.
The solution is simple: separate cancel subscription from delete account. Ask for both explicitly if you want both, because they may be treated differently.
Failing to keep proof
The biggest avoidable mistake is not saving confirmation. If a continued charge appears later, your case is much stronger when you can show the exact date of cancellation and the exact wording of your request.
Take screenshots, keep emails, and save your statement. That small habit is often the difference between a quick reversal and a long support argument.
Quick comparison of cancellation methods
Side by side view
| Method | Notice period | Fee | Difficulty |
| Web/account | 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 |
How to choose based on your situation
If you paid directly, email support with full account details and keep your sent message. If you paid through Apple or Google, use the store settings because that is where the recurring charge is controlled.
Postal notice is slower but gives a stronger paper trail for business accounts or unresolved billing disputes. None of the routes show a published cancellation fee in the available Terms material.
What to do right after canceling
Immediate checks in the first 24 hours
Look for a cancellation confirmation email, save it, and take a screenshot. Then create a calendar reminder for one day before the next expected billing date and another reminder for the date your statement usually closes.
If you do not receive confirmation, follow up on the same email thread instead of starting over. That keeps the evidence in one place and shows a clear timeline if a dispute becomes necessary.
Watch your bank or wallet and know your backup options
Monitor your card, GCash, or Maya for at least one full billing cycle after cancellation. If a new Travis Ci charge appears, contact the issuer immediately and mention that it is a continued recurring charge after cancellation; cardholders in the Philippines often have up to 60 days from the statement date to dispute it.
For alternatives, many teams move to GitHub Actions, CircleCI, or GitLab CI/CD after canceling. GitHub Actions is especially convenient if your code already lives on GitHub, while CircleCI and GitLab CI/CD both have lower-entry plans or free tiers depending on usage.
Useful links
Physical mailing address
If you want to send a formal written notice, use the registered office listed for the service entity:
- Travis CI GmbH, Rigaer Straße 8, 10247 Berlin, Germany
You can also send a parallel email to [email protected] and [email protected] so the company has both postal and electronic notice. For most users, email is faster, but formal mail can be useful when billing disputes drag on.
Best way to word the notice
State your account email, organization or workspace name, current plan, and the exact request to cancel before the next billing date. Also ask for written confirmation that recurring billing is stopped and note the date your notice was sent.
If you are in the Philippines and a charge still posts after that, keep the mailed proof, email proof, and bank statement together. That combined record is what gives your complaint or chargeback the best chance of success.
