Access continues until period ends

Frequently Asked Questions
Why is Motley Fool so hard to cancel?
Motley Fool is well-known for using aggressive retention tactics during cancellation. You will encounter multiple screens offering discounts, highlighting past performance, and asking you to reconsider. The key is to keep clicking through each offer and declining until you reach the final cancellation confirmation.
Can I get a refund from Motley Fool?
Motley Fool offers a 30-day membership fee-back guarantee on many services. If you cancel within this window, contact their member services team to request a full refund. After 30 days, refunds are handled on a case-by-case basis.
How do I cancel multiple Motley Fool services?
Each service (Stock Advisor, Rule Breakers, Epic, Everlasting Stocks, etc.) is treated as a separate subscription. You must go through the cancellation process for each one individually from your membership page.
Can I cancel Motley Fool by phone?
Yes, you can call Motley Fool member services to cancel by phone. However, expect the phone representative to also present retention offers. Be prepared to firmly decline and insist on cancellation.
Will I still get Motley Fool emails after canceling?
Canceling your paid subscription does not automatically unsubscribe you from marketing emails. You will likely receive win-back offers. Separately unsubscribe from their email lists if you want to stop all communications.
