What is The Entertainer
Overview
The Entertainer is a subscription service that provides 2-for-1 offers and discounts at restaurants, hotels and activities across cities.
It operates on a membership model where subscribers access digital offers via apps or partner platforms in South Africa.
How it applies in South Africa
In South Africa access has shifted to partner arrangements (for example bank partnerships) rather than a standalone local app in some years.
Memberships may be managed through the website, app stores or by contacting regional customer support.

What happens when you cancel
Access and expiry
After cancellation you typically retain access until the end of the current paid period unless support specifies otherwise.
Auto-renewal will be turned off so you are not charged at the next renewal date.
Account data and confirmations
You should receive a confirmation email when the cancellation is processed via the website or support.
Account data is usually retained according to the service’s terms and privacy policy; contact support to request further data actions.
Will I get a refund?
Refund eligibility
- Refunds are available if no offers have been redeemed by you or any family members and the refund request is made within 30 days of purchase.
- This refund policy applies to memberships purchased via the Entertainer ME service as stated in the support article and terms.
Processing times and exceptions
- Approved refunds are typically processed within 7 - 10 days after approval.
- If you purchased via Apple or Google Play, refunds may be handled by the platform - cancelling subscription there stops renewals but refund rules follow the platform’s policies.
- See the official cancellation article for the primary refund rules: How do I cancel my membership?

Refund and cancellation rights

Where purchased through a platform (App Store/Google Play) the platform’s cancellation and refund rules also apply.

- If issues arise with refunds or customer support, refer to the membership terms: The Entertainer terms and conditions.
Customer experiences
Positive feedback
Customers frequently praise helpful and efficient customer service representatives who resolve issues via WhatsApp or live chat.
Specific staff names such as Sharnee, Laeeqah and Michelle are mentioned in reviews for prompt resolution of missing or faulty items.
Negative feedback
Complaints include missing parts, delayed or undelivered orders, and difficulties obtaining refunds for faulty goods.
Some reviewers report long waits for refunds or slow customer service responses; these issues appear in public reviews.
Documentation checklist
What to prepare before contacting support
- Proof of purchase (receipt, email confirmation, payment reference).
- Account email and username used for the membership.
- Purchase date and method (Entertainer ME, Apple App Store, Google Play, partner bank).
Evidence for refunds
- Screenshot showing no offers redeemed (or confirmation of redemptions if relevant).
- Any correspondence with customer support and screenshots of error messages.
- Bank or card statement entry showing the charge for the subscription.
Common mistakes
Buying channel confusion
Customers often try to cancel on the website when they purchased via the Apple App Store or Google Play. The platform used to buy determines cancellation method.
Always check the original purchase source before starting the cancellation process.
Missing the refund window
Another common error is requesting a refund after redeeming offers or after the 30‑day window, which usually voids refund eligibility.
Act promptly within 30 days and confirm no offers were redeemed if you want a refund.
