How to cancel travis CI and stop paying for build minutes you don't use

What travis CI is and why you might want to cancel

Travis CI is a continuous integration and continuous deployment (CI/CD) platform built for software development teams. It automatically runs tests and deploys code whenever you push changes to GitHub or other connected repositories. The service reports whether your build passes or fails, helping your team catch bugs before they reach production.

The service operates through Travis CI GmbH, a company registered in Berlin, Germany. In the Philippines, you access Travis CI through its web interface, but pricing is displayed in US dollars (USD), not Philippine pesos (PHP). This means your actual cost depends on your bank's foreign exchange rate and any international transaction fees your card issuer charges.

If you signed up for a paid plan to access more concurrent builds, priority support, or access to private repositories, and you no longer need those features, canceling before your next billing date prevents unwanted charges. Many users in the Philippines cancel Travis CI because they completed a project, switched to another CI/CD tool, or realized the paid tier costs more than their current development needs justify.

How travis CI charges work in the philippines

Travis CI charges appear on your credit card or payment method as a USD transaction. Your Philippine bank converts this amount to PHP at their daily exchange rate, and you may also pay a foreign transaction fee (typically 1-3% of the charge). Unlike some SaaS tools, Travis CI does not accept GCash, Maya, or other local Philippine payment methods directly, so your only option is an international card or payment processor account.

You cannot see your bill in PHP-only in USD. This makes it harder to track spending month to month, especially if exchange rates fluctuate. Before canceling, pull your last invoice from your Travis CI account dashboard or email history so you have proof of what you paid and when the next charge is due.

Why cancellation with travis CI is not straightforward

Unlike consumer apps with a prominent "Cancel Now" button, Travis CI does not publish a self-service cancellation link in your account dashboard. Instead, the service directs you to contact support by email. This gap in the user experience frustrates many developers, especially those in fast-moving startups who need to cancel quickly.

Additionally, Travis CI's support channels have changed over time. Some users report that direct billing support cases are no longer available through the community forum, meaning email is your only reliable route. Response times vary, and the Terms of Service do not promise a specific support window, so you may wait several days for confirmation.

Your consumer rights under philippine law and how they protect you

The Consumer Act of the Philippines (Republic Act No. 7394) protects you when you cancel a service subscription. This law grants you the right to demand a refund if the service provider fails to deliver what you paid for, charges you without clear consent, or continues billing after you cancel.

Under this law, you have the right to receive a written acknowledgment of your cancellation request and proof that no further charges will be applied. If Travis CI continues to charge your card after you submit a cancellation email, you can file a complaint with the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) in the Philippines or dispute the charge with your bank.

Additionally, if you paid for a service and Travis CI did not deliver it as promised (for example, if builds consistently failed due to service outages), you may be entitled to a partial or full refund. Stopee recommends documenting all communication with Travis CI support, including timestamps, email subject lines, and the exact amount you paid, so you have evidence if you need to escalate to the DTI or your bank.

How to use your consumer rights if travis CI keeps charging you

If you cancel by email but Travis CI charges your card again, you have three escalation options. First, reply to the support email with a formal demand for a refund, citing the Consumer Act of the Philippines and your cancellation request date. Second, contact your bank or card issuer and dispute the charge as unauthorized, providing a copy of your cancellation email as evidence. Third, file a complaint with the DTI if the company refuses to refund the charge and does not respond within 30 days.

Stopee advises keeping all correspondence in one folder-screenshots, emails, invoices, and bank statements-so you can prove your case if you need to escalate. The DTI's contact information is available at their website, and many complaints are resolved within 60 days if you provide clear documentation.

How to cancel travis CI step-by-step

Canceling Travis CI requires you to email support because no in-app cancellation option exists.

1. Log in to your Travis CI account at travis-ci.com.
   • Use the email address and password associated with your paid plan.
   • Navigate to your account settings or billing dashboard to confirm your current plan and next billing date.
2. Take a screenshot of your current plan, billing date, and the amount you are being charged.
   • This screenshot serves as proof of your active subscription and protects you if support claims you were not a paying customer.
3. Open your email client and compose a new message to support@travis-ci.com.
   • If that address bounces, try contact@travis-ci.com as a fallback.
4. Write a clear subject line: Cancel subscription before next billing date on [date]
   • Replace [date] with your actual next billing date.
   • A specific subject line tells support exactly what you need and makes it easier for them to process your request quickly.
5. In the email body, include all of the following information:
   • Your Travis CI account email address (the one associated with your login).
   • Your organization or team name (if applicable).
   • Your current plan name (e.g., "Concurrency 5", "Pro").
   • Your last charge amount in USD and the date you were charged.
   • Your next billing date.
   • A single, clear sentence: "I request that you cancel my subscription effective immediately and ensure no charges are applied after [date]."
6. Send the email and wait for a confirmation response.
   • Pro tip: Send the email from the same email address registered to your Travis CI account. Support may reject requests from different addresses.
   • Warning: Do not rely on verbal confirmations or chat support; always insist on written email confirmation so you have proof.
7. Check your email and credit card statement for the next 7 days.
   • If support confirms cancellation but your card is still charged, contact your bank immediately and file a dispute.
   • Forward the cancellation email and your credit card statement to the DTI if the charge is not reversed within 10 business days.

If you want to cancel through the legal entity in berlin

If support@travis-ci.com does not respond within 10 business days, you can escalate by sending a formal cancellation notice to the registered office. Send a letter (email or registered mail) to the following address:

Travis CI GmbH
Registered Office
Berlin, Germany

In the letter, include your account email, the date of your cancellation request to support, the amount charged, your billing dates, and a demand for immediate cancellation and confirmation in writing. Keep a copy for your records and send it via tracked email or registered mail so you have proof of delivery.

If the Berlin office does not respond, you can also contact Idera, Inc., the parent company, at its Austin, Texas office for corporate or billing inquiries, though response times may be longer. Stopee recommends the email route first because it is faster and creates a clear timestamp.

What happens to your data after you cancel travis CI

Once you cancel, your access to Travis CI ends immediately. The Terms of Service do not clearly state how long Travis CI keeps your build logs, configuration files, or repository history after cancellation.

Before you send your cancellation email, export any build logs, test results, or CI configuration files you may need later. Many developers use this information for audits, compliance records, or migrating to another CI/CD tool. Once your account is deleted, you may not be able to retrieve this data.

You also lose access to any credits or pre-paid minutes. If you purchased a prepaid build plan and did not use all of it, check your invoice to confirm the unused balance. Some SaaS providers refund unused credits, but Travis CI's policy is not transparent on this point. Include a question about unused credits in your cancellation email so you have a written response you can use if you need to dispute the charge later.

How to get a refund from travis CI

Travis CI's refund policy is not prominently published in marketing materials. However, the Consumer Act of the Philippines entitles you to a refund if you cancel within a reasonable timeframe before your next billing date.

Include a clear refund request in your cancellation email. Write: "Please confirm whether a refund of [amount] will be issued for [reason-e.g., unused prepaid credits, prorated cancellation within 7 days of billing date]." A written response protects you if you need to escalate to your bank or the DTI later.

Pro tip: If you are canceled within the first 14 days of a new plan, many SaaS providers honor refunds as a goodwill gesture. Ask support if this applies to you, and mention the Consumer Act of the Philippines if they refuse.

Common mistakes people make when canceling travis CI

Canceling a service you depend on is stressful, especially when the process is unclear. You deserve clarity, and Stopee has seen these mistakes cost developers time and money.

Mistake 1: Sending the cancellation email from a different address than your account email. Support may reject or ignore your request if the sender address does not match your registered account. Always reply to support communications using your account email, or mention your account email clearly in the body of any new message.

Mistake 2: Assuming your access will end automatically on your next billing date. Many users cancel and then assume they will not be charged, only to discover a charge on their card a month later. Cancellation means you stop being billed, but it happens only after support confirms and acts on your request. Monitor your bank account for 14 days after you cancel.

Mistake 3: Not saving proof of your active plan before canceling. If a dispute arises, you need to prove you were a paying customer and what you paid. Take a screenshot of your account dashboard showing your plan, billing date, and last charge. Save your invoice PDFs to a folder titled "Travis CI Cancellation" so you can retrieve them quickly if needed.

Mistake 4: Deleting support emails or assuming one "cancel" email is enough. Keep every email exchange in your inbox or a separate folder. If support claims you never canceled, you need the email threads to prove otherwise. Warning: Do not clean up your email after cancellation; hold onto these records for at least one year in case a dispute charge appears.

Mistake 5: Not following up if you do not hear back within 10 days. Support delays are common. Send a follow-up email with the subject "Follow-up: Cancellation request from [date]" and include your original request. If support still does not respond, escalate to the Berlin office or file a DTI complaint.

Pricing, plans, and why stopee recommends canceling

Travis CI charges vary based on the number of concurrent builds you run simultaneously. Pricing is published in USD and does not change for Philippine customers, though your card issuer's exchange rate and fees affect your final cost.

Stopee recommends canceling Travis CI if you meet any of these conditions: your project is no longer active, your team switched to GitHub Actions or GitLab CI (which offer generous free tiers), you are paying for concurrent builds you do not use, or your development pace has slowed and you do not need daily builds anymore.

Converting from USD to PHP, a mid-tier plan (Concurrency 5) costs approximately ₱3,800-₱6,500 per month depending on the exchange rate. If your team is not actively deploying code, that expense adds up quickly. Canceling frees up budget for other tools or team resources.

After you cancel: what to do next

Once support confirms your cancellation, your work is not finished. Taking a few more steps ensures you are fully protected and ready to move on.

Step 1: Keep the cancellation confirmation email forever. Even after one year, save this email in a dedicated folder called "Canceled Services" on your computer or cloud storage. If a surprise charge appears years later, this single document proves you canceled on time.

Step 2: Monitor your bank or credit card statement for 30 days. Mistakes happen. Set a phone reminder to check your statement weekly for one month after cancellation. If an unauthorized charge appears, contact your bank within 60 days (the standard dispute window). Include a copy of your cancellation email as evidence.

Step 3: If you are owed a refund, follow up within 30 days if you have not received it. Send a polite but firm email to support@travis-ci.com with the subject "Refund request from canceled subscription on [date]." Mention the Consumer Act of the Philippines and request a response within 7 days. If support ignores this, file a DTI complaint.

Step 4: Export any final reports or logs you need for compliance or audits. If you did not do this before canceling, contact support and ask them to send you a final export of your build history. Some developers need this for ISO certification, security audits, or internal records.

Step 5: Document the cancellation for your team. If you manage the Travis CI subscription for your organization, send a message to your team confirming the service is no longer available and that CI/CD is now handled by a different tool. This prevents confusion or surprise when developers notice builds are no longer running through Travis CI.
