How to cancel LMCT and avoid billing traps in australia

What LMCT is and why you might want to cancel

LMCT is a subscription-based membership platform operated by Xclusive Tech Pty Ltd that sells access to prize draw entries and partner discounts. You pay a recurring monthly fee to accumulate entries into regular giveaways (typically for cars, property and cash prizes) and unlock retail partner discounts. The platform also offers in-app purchases for virtual credits and bonus features, which operate on separate billing cycles and rules.

Most users join LMCT seeking genuine prize opportunities or discounted shopping. However, if you've decided the membership no longer delivers value, or if you're frustrated by billing issues, this guide will walk you through cancellation step-by-step and protect your rights under Australian Consumer Law.

LMCT membership tiers and pricing

LMCT advertises two main monthly subscription plans, each with different entry accumulation rates and discount access.

Why people cancel LMCT

Common reasons for cancellation include: continued billing after attempted cancellation, unclear or low prize odds, underwhelming partner discounts, frustration after app updates that change entry balances, and dissatisfaction with the overall value proposition. Some members also report that in-app purchases carry separate charges that surprise them at checkout. If any of these apply to you, cancelling sooner rather than later protects your wallet and gives you back control of your subscriptions.

Your consumer rights under australian law

Australia's Consumer Law (part of the Competition and Consumer Act 2010) protects you when cancelling subscriptions and pursuing refunds.

Key protections that apply to LMCT

If LMCT continues to charge you after you cancel, or if the service fails to meet consumer guarantees (like being accurate in descriptions or fit for purpose), you have the right to demand a refund under the Australian Consumer Law. You do not need to accept "all sales final" or non-refund clauses if the service breaches these guarantees.

The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) enforces these rights and can escalate complaints if LMCT refuses a valid refund claim. Keep detailed records of your cancellation request, confirmation emails, and billing statements. This documentation becomes your leverage if a dispute arises.

Unfair contract terms and dark patterns

If LMCT's terms make cancellation deliberately difficult (for example, hiding the cancel button or requiring you to phone during limited hours), those terms may be considered unfair under Australian law and could be unenforceable. Similarly, if cancellation is advertised as "anytime" but the company makes it unreasonably hard to exercise, that's a red flag.

How to cancel LMCT by phone

The most reliable cancellation method for LMCT is by telephone, as user reports confirm this is the primary contact route and leaves a recorded interaction log.

Step-by-step phone cancellation process

1. Call LMCT on 1300 683 688 or +61 1300 683 688 (available during business hours, Australian Eastern Time).
   • Have your membership account number or email address ready.
   • Call at a time when you can speak to a live agent (avoid late afternoons if possible, as wait times increase).
2. Tell the agent clearly: "I want to cancel my LMCT membership effective immediately" or specify a date if you prefer.
   • Do not say "pause" or "suspend"-use the word "cancel" to avoid confusion.
3. Ask the agent to confirm your cancellation date and the effective date of the cancellation in writing.
   • Request an email confirmation immediately after the call.
4. Confirm whether any outstanding balance will be refunded or credited.
   • If you paid for a full month and cancel mid-cycle, ask about proration.
5. Save the agent's name, call timestamp, and reference number for your records.
   • You may need this if billing continues or a dispute arises.

Pro tip: Call on a Tuesday or Wednesday morning (around 10 a.m. to noon) to minimise hold times and ensure you reach an agent with full authority to process cancellations.

What to do if the agent resists or offers alternatives

Some agents may offer to pause your membership, reduce your plan, or give you a one-month discount instead of cancelling. If you want to cancel, politely but firmly repeat: "I want to cancel my membership, not pause it." Do not accept partial solutions unless you genuinely prefer them.

Warning: If an agent tells you "we can't cancel over the phone" or insists you cancel online, ask for a supervisor. LMCT's own communication (1300 number listed for cancellation) implies phone cancellation is available. If you face unreasonable barriers, that's a potential unfair contract term, and you can escalate to the ACCC.

How to cancel LMCT online or in-app

If LMCT offers an online or in-app cancellation portal, using it creates a digital audit trail and is often faster than calling.

Finding the cancellation option in the LMCT app or website

1. Log in to your LMCT account on the mobile app or website.
   • Use the same credentials you use for membership access.
2. Navigate to "Account Settings," "Membership," or "Billing" (naming varies, but look for subscription-related sections).
   • Some apps hide cancellation under "Manage Subscription" or "Subscription Options."
3. Select "Cancel membership" or "Cancel subscription."
   • LMCT may ask you to confirm why you're cancelling or offer retention incentives (e.g., a discount). You can decline these.
4. Confirm the cancellation and take a screenshot of the confirmation screen immediately.
   • The confirmation should show the date your membership ends and whether any refund will be issued.
5. Exit the app and check your email for a confirmation email within 24 hours.
   • If no email arrives, contact LMCT by phone to verify cancellation was processed.

Warning: Do not rely on in-app cancellation alone if you've experienced billing issues before. Combine it with a phone call to create a double record of your cancellation intent. User feedback suggests some members have had cancellations fail to process via the app, leaving them billed the following month.

LMCT refunds and billing timeline

Understanding LMCT's refund policy and billing cycle is crucial to avoiding unexpected charges after cancellation.

When you'll stop being charged

LMCT uses monthly recurring billing, which means your cancellation timing relative to your billing date determines whether a final charge occurs. If you cancel after your billing date has passed, your cancellation typically takes effect immediately and no further charges apply. If you cancel before your billing date, you may still be charged once more, depending on LMCT's policy.

Pro tip: Always ask the agent or confirmation screen: "When will my next charge have been scheduled?" and "Will cancellation stop that charge?" This tells you whether you'll see one final charge or none at all.

Refund eligibility and proration

LMCT's terms advertise "cancel anytime" membership, but refunds for unused portions of a paid month are not guaranteed. Many subscription services, including LMCT, do not prorate or refund unused days once a monthly charge has been processed. However, if you cancel within 14 days of a charge and have not meaningfully used the service, Australian Consumer Law may entitle you to a refund under the "reasonable period" rule.

If LMCT refuses a refund you believe is fair, contact the ACCC or your state's Office of Fair Trading to lodge a complaint. Include your cancellation request date, billing statements, and any communication with LMCT support.

In-app purchases and separate billing

If you've made in-app coin or credit purchases, these are separate from your recurring membership and may have different refund rules depending on whether you bought them through the Apple App Store, Google Play, or LMCT's own payment system. Always check your app store transaction history separately and request refunds directly through the app store if those purchases were not delivered or are unwanted.

Mistakes to avoid when cancelling LMCT

Cancelling a subscription feels urgent and frustrating, but rushing can cost you money or leave you with ongoing charges.

Common cancellation errors

• Not requesting written confirmation. Verbal cancellations over the phone may not be honoured if you don't have an email or reference number to fall back on. Always ask for confirmation.
• Pausing instead of cancelling. Some agents will offer to pause your membership for a month. If you want to cancel, don't accept a pause-you'll still be charged after the pause expires.
• Assuming cancellation is instant. LMCT may take up to 5 business days to process your cancellation in its backend systems. Monitor your account and billing statements for the next two weeks to confirm the cancellation took effect.
• Forgetting to cancel in-app purchases separately. Cancelling your membership does not automatically cancel in-app subscriptions or stop recurring coin purchases. Check the app store (Apple, Google) and disable recurring purchases directly there.
• Deleting the app instead of cancelling the membership. Deleting the LMCT app from your phone does not cancel your membership or stop billing. You must actively cancel through the account settings or by calling.

Pro tip: Set a calendar reminder to check your bank statement 10 days after you cancel. If a charge appears, you'll have fresh evidence for a dispute and can contact your bank for a chargeback if LMCT fails to refund.

After you cancel LMCT

Cancelling is not the end of your work-follow these steps to confirm the cancellation stuck and to protect yourself if billing continues.

Verification steps within 14 days of cancellation

1. Check your email for a cancellation confirmation from LMCT within 24 to 48 hours of cancelling.
   • If you don't receive one, contact LMCT again by phone to confirm.
2. Log in to your LMCT account and verify that your membership status now shows "Cancelled" or "Inactive."
   • Some apps hide this information, so you may need to email LMCT to request account status confirmation.
3. Check your payment method (credit card, debit card, or PayPal) for any charges after your cancellation date.
   • If a charge appears after you cancelled, screenshot it and contact your bank immediately.
4. Review your billing statements for at least two full billing cycles after cancellation to ensure no further charges occur.

Warning: Some users report that LMCT continued to bill them even after cancellation requests. If you see an unauthorised charge, dispute it with your bank under Australian Consumer Law and notify ACCC.

If billing continues after cancellation

If you see a charge after you've cancelled, take these steps immediately:

1. Contact LMCT by phone and provide your cancellation reference number, email, and the date you cancelled.
2. Ask LMCT to process an immediate refund and confirm the reason for the erroneous charge.
3. If LMCT refuses or claims you weren't cancelled, provide your cancellation confirmation email or call recording details.
4. If LMCT does not refund within 10 business days, contact your bank and dispute the charge as unauthorised.
5. File a complaint with the ACCC (accc.gov.au) if LMCT's response is unsatisfactory.
