Cancel Reddit: The Right Way
How to cancel your reddit premium subscription in singapore (2025 guide)
Understanding reddit and your subscription options
Reddit is a social news aggregation and discussion platform built around topic-specific communities called subreddits. Users share links, text, images and comments; the community votes content up or down, which determines its visibility. It's a place where millions gather to discuss everything from technology to hobbies to current events.
Reddit offers a free tier and a paid subscription called Reddit Premium. This paid service removes advertisements from your browsing experience, unlocks exclusive features like custom avatars and premium avatar gear, grants access to the r/lounge community, and provides higher content posting limits. You can purchase Reddit Premium through the web browser, the Apple App Store, or Google Play, depending on how you typically use Reddit.
Why you might want to cancel
You may decide to cancel for several reasons: the cost no longer fits your budget, you don't use the premium features enough to justify the monthly spend, or you simply want to return to the free tier. Whatever your reason, Stopee is here to guide you through the process step by step so you can cancel without unnecessary delays or confusion.
What you need to know before you start
Your cancellation method depends entirely on where you purchased your subscription. If you bought Reddit Premium directly on reddit.com using a credit card or PayPal, you cancel through your account settings on the web. If you subscribed via the Apple App Store, you manage the subscription in your iPhone or iPad settings. If you used Google Play on an Android device, you cancel through the Google Play Store app. Understanding which platform you used is the first critical step in cancelling smoothly.
Your consumer rights in singapore
Singapore's Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act protects you when you purchase digital services like Reddit Premium. This law ensures that any subscription service must provide you with clear information about renewal dates, pricing, and cancellation terms before you commit to a purchase.
Key protections under the law
The Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act requires that Reddit clearly disclose the cost of the subscription, the renewal frequency, and how to cancel. If Reddit fails to provide this information clearly or makes cancellation unreasonably difficult, you have grounds to lodge a complaint with the Consumers Association of Singapore (CASE). You can reach CASE at their website or call their hotline for advice if you encounter problems during cancellation or billing issues.
Unfair contract terms
Any term in Reddit's subscription agreement that puts you at an unreasonable disadvantage is potentially unfair under Singapore law. For example, if Reddit made it deliberately difficult to find the cancellation button or charged you without explicit consent, CASE can intervene on your behalf. Stopee encourages you to document your cancellation attempt with screenshots if you face any resistance, as this evidence strengthens a complaint to CASE if needed.
Cancellation methods by platform
Reddit offers three main purchase channels, each with its own cancellation process. Follow the method that matches where you originally paid for your subscription.
Cancel via web (credit card or PayPal)
If you purchased Reddit Premium directly on reddit.com, you cancel through your account settings.
- Open your web browser and go to reddit.com.
- Sign in with your Reddit username and password.
- Click your profile icon in the top right corner.
- If you're on desktop, select Settings from the dropdown menu.
- If you're on mobile web, tap the menu icon and navigate to Settings.
- In Settings, scroll down to find "Reddit Premium" or "Subscription" in the left sidebar.
- Click the Reddit Premium section to view your current subscription status.
- Look for a "Cancel subscription" or "Manage subscription" button.
- Click to confirm cancellation. Reddit will ask you to confirm once more; select yes.
- You will receive a confirmation message. Keep this for your records.
Pro tip: Cancel at least 24 hours before your next billing date. If you cancel on the same day your subscription renews, Reddit may still charge you; you would then need to request a refund from their support team.
Cancel via apple app store
If you subscribed to Reddit Premium through the Apple App Store on an iPhone or iPad, you manage the subscription in your Apple account settings, not in the Reddit app itself.
- Open the App Store on your iPhone or iPad.
- Tap the profile icon in the bottom right corner (your face or initials icon).
- Select "Subscriptions" from the menu.
- Scroll through your active subscriptions and find "Reddit Premium."
- Tap "Reddit Premium" to open the subscription details.
- Tap "Cancel Subscription" at the bottom of the screen.
- You will see an option to confirm. Select "Confirm" to complete cancellation.
- Apple will send a confirmation email to your Apple ID email address.
Warning: Some users mistakenly try to cancel within the Reddit app itself. The app does not control app store subscriptions; you must use the App Store settings on your device. Cancelling only in the Reddit app will not stop your subscription renewal.
Pro tip: If you cannot find your subscription in the App Store Subscriptions list, ensure you are signed in with the correct Apple ID. Many people have multiple Apple IDs and may have subscribed with a different one.
Cancel via google play store
If you purchased Reddit Premium through Google Play on an Android device, you cancel through the Google Play Store app or website using the same Google account linked to your subscription.
- Open the Google Play Store app on your Android device.
- Tap your profile icon in the top right corner.
- Select "Payments and subscriptions."
- Tap "Subscriptions."
- Find and tap "Reddit Premium" from your list of active subscriptions.
- Select "Cancel subscription."
- You will be asked to confirm your cancellation. Select "Cancel subscription" again when prompted.
- Google Play will send a confirmation email immediately.
Warning: Double-check that you are signed into the correct Google account. Many people have multiple Google accounts (personal, work, secondary), and your Reddit subscription may be under a different email address than the one you use most often.
Pro tip: You can also cancel via the Google Play website (play.google.com) if you prefer a larger screen. The steps are identical.
What happens immediately after cancellation
Cancelling your Reddit Premium subscription is not the same as losing access immediately. Stopee wants you to understand exactly what to expect after you hit cancel so there are no surprises.
Your access during the final billing period
Once you cancel, you retain all Reddit Premium benefits until the end of your current billing period. If your subscription renews on the 15th of each month and you cancel on the 5th, you keep your ad-free browsing, premium features, and r/lounge access until the 15th. Your subscription simply will not renew after that date.
This is called the "paid-through date" or "expiration date." Reddit will show this date in your account settings so you know exactly when your access ends.
Your account and posting history
Cancelling a paid subscription does NOT delete your Reddit account, your posts, your comments, or your community memberships. You revert to the free tier and can still use Reddit exactly as you did before you subscribed, except without the premium features. Your account remains fully active with all your history intact.
If you actually want to delete your account entirely (separate from cancelling the subscription), you must do that through a separate account deletion process on reddit.com. Account deletion is permanent and cannot be undone.
Refund policy and what you can expect
Reddit's official policy states that partial refunds are not offered for unused time in a billing period. This is a firm no-refunds policy unless specific circumstances apply.
When reddit might make an exception
Reddit rarely issues refunds, but exceptions can occur if you are charged twice in the same billing cycle due to a technical error, if you are charged after you already cancelled, or if fraudulent activity occurs on your account. If any of these situations apply to you, contact Reddit Support through the help portal on reddit.com. Document your billing history with screenshots and explain the error clearly.
Refund rights through app stores
The Apple App Store and Google Play Store have their own refund policies separate from Reddit's policy. Apple typically grants a refund within 15 days of purchase if you request one, but this applies to initial purchases, not renewals. Google Play allows refunds within 48 hours of a charge for technical issues or billing errors.
If you were charged for a renewal you did not want, contact Apple or Google support first, as they can refund app store charges more readily than Reddit can. Stopee recommends gathering your transaction receipts (Apple sends these via email) before reaching out, as they will request proof of the charge.
Your rights if reddit refuses a reasonable refund
If you believe Reddit has acted unfairly in refusing a refund, you can escalate to the Consumers Association of Singapore (CASE). CASE investigates consumer complaints for services purchased in Singapore and can apply pressure on Reddit if they believe the refund denial violates the Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act. You can lodge a complaint free of charge through the CASE website.
Reddit premium pricing in singapore
Reddit Premium pricing varies depending on whether you purchase on the web or through an app store, and whether you commit to monthly or annual billing. Here is the current pricing structure for Singapore customers:
| Plan | Price (SGD) | Billing period | Key features |
|---|---|---|---|
| Monthly (web) | S$8.10 | 1 month | Ad-free browsing, r/lounge access, premium avatar gear, custom icons, higher post limits |
| Annual (web) | S$67.40 | 12 months | Same as monthly, billed yearly at a discount (saves approximately S$30 annually) |
| Monthly (App Store) | S$9.45 | 1 month | Ad-free browsing, premium features (App Store pricing is typically higher due to platform fees) |
| Annual (in-app) | S$81.00 | 12 months | Same features, billed annually through your app store account |
| Monthly (Google Play) | S$9.45 | 1 month | Ad-free browsing and premium features (Google Play pricing matches Apple App Store) |
| Annual (Google Play) | S$81.00 | 12 months | Same features, annual commitment, charged through your Google Play account |
Web purchases are consistently cheaper than app store purchases because Reddit does not pay the 15-30% commission that Apple and Google charge on in-app sales. If you're a regular Reddit user, purchasing via web saves you money in the long run.
Common cancellation mistakes and how to avoid them
Cancellation seems straightforward, but many people stumble at predictable points. Stopee has identified the most common mistakes so you can sidestep them entirely.
Mistake 1: cancelling in the app when you subscribed through an app store
This is the number one mistake. If you bought Reddit Premium through the Apple App Store or Google Play, the Reddit app does not control your subscription. Cancelling within the app settings won't work. You must log into your app store account (Apple ID or Google account) and cancel there. The Reddit app simply does not have the authority to cancel app store subscriptions.
Mistake 2: cancelling too close to your billing date
If you cancel on the same day or within a few hours of your renewal date, Reddit may still process the charge before your cancellation request reaches their payment processor. Always cancel at least 24 hours in advance. Set a calendar reminder if your renewal date approaches.
Mistake 3: not confirming which google account or apple ID was used
If you have multiple email addresses or multiple Apple IDs, you might subscribe under one account and then try to cancel using a different one. Your subscription won't appear in the wrong account's subscription list. Log out and log back in with the email address or phone number you originally used to purchase Reddit Premium.
Mistake 4: forgetting to screenshot your confirmation
Always take a screenshot of your cancellation confirmation. If Reddit or an app store later claims you never cancelled and charges you again, your screenshot proves you acted in good faith. Screenshots are also useful if you file a complaint with CASE or dispute the charge with your bank.
Timeline for cancellation and final charges
Understanding when your cancellation takes effect helps you plan your finances and avoid surprise charges.
Timing for web cancellations
If you cancel via reddit.com, your cancellation is effective immediately, but your access continues until the end of your current billing period. You will not be charged again after your current period ends. There is typically no lag between when you cancel and when Reddit processes it.
Timing for app store cancellations
App store cancellations (Apple and Google) can take between a few minutes and 24 hours to process, though most process within minutes. Check your subscription status in your app store settings after 24 hours to confirm cancellation is complete. Do not assume it's cancelled if you cannot immediately see the change; give it a full day.
Refund timing
If a refund is approved, app stores typically credit your account within 3-5 business days. If you paid via credit card through the web, the refund appears on your card statement within 5-7 business days.
Checklist: before and after you cancel
Use this checklist to ensure your cancellation is complete and successful:
| Task | Status |
|---|---|
| Identify where you purchased Reddit Premium (web, Apple, or Google Play) | ☐ |
| Check your renewal date in account settings or subscription management | ☐ |
| Cancel at least 24 hours before your renewal date | ☐ |
| Take a screenshot of your cancellation confirmation | ☐ |
| Check your email for a confirmation message from Reddit or your app store | ☐ |
| Verify 24 hours later that the subscription no longer appears as active in your settings | ☐ |
| Monitor your account for any unexpected charges on your renewal date | ☐ |
Contacting reddit support and escalation
If you encounter problems during cancellation or discover that you were charged after cancelling, Reddit's help portal is your first point of contact. You can submit a support ticket through reddit.com/help or search the help community for answers from other users and Reddit staff.
When to escalate to CASE
If Reddit does not respond to your support request within 7 business days, or if they refuse to issue a refund for a charge you believe is unfair, you can escalate your complaint to the Consumers Association of Singapore (CASE). CASE investigates billing disputes and unfair trading practices. They can mediate between you and Reddit at no cost to you. Visit case.org.sg or call their hotline to lodge a complaint.
Stopee recommends gathering all supporting documentation before contacting CASE: screenshots of your cancellation confirmation, copies of your billing statements, emails from Reddit support, and a clear written explanation of what happened. This evidence strengthens your case.
Contact information for reddit in singapore
Reddit's Singapore operations are managed by Reddit SG Pte. Ltd., registered at South Beach Tower, Marina Bay Financial Centre, Singapore. While Reddit does not accept postal complaints about cancellations (support is online only), having this registered address is useful if you need to lodge a formal complaint with CASE, as they require company registration details.
For all cancellation and billing issues, use the official support portal at reddit.com/help. Direct mail to the registered address is rarely effective for urgent billing matters; always use the online help system first.
Summary: your next step forward
Cancelling Reddit Premium in Singapore is a straightforward process once you identify your purchase platform. Whether you bought on the web, Apple App Store, or Google Play, follow the step-by-step instructions above and remember to cancel at least 24 hours before your next billing date. Your consumer rights under Singapore's Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act protect you from unfair billing practices, and CASE is available if Reddit refuses to resolve your complaint.
Document your cancellation with a screenshot, monitor your account for any unexpected charges, and reach out to Reddit support if anything seems wrong. Stopee has helped thousands of consumers navigate subscription cancellations with confidence and clarity. Take control of your subscriptions today-you deserve transparency and control over your money.
