What Happens After You Cancel Reddit Premium?
Ad-free browsing continues until billing period ends
You keep your Premium perks including ad-free browsing, access to r/lounge, and your Premium avatar gear until the end of your current billing cycle.
Ads return and Premium perks expire
Once your billing period ends, ads will appear again while browsing Reddit. You will also lose access to r/lounge and any Premium-exclusive features or avatar accessories.
No refunds for partial periods
Reddit does not issue refunds for partial billing periods. Even if you cancel the day after renewal, you will not receive a refund for the remaining time.
Your account remains active
Canceling Reddit Premium does not delete your Reddit account. All your posts, comments, karma, and saved content remain intact. You simply revert to a free Reddit account.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will I get a refund if I cancel Reddit Premium?
No. Reddit does not offer refunds for partial billing periods. Your Premium benefits continue until the end of the current cycle you already paid for, and then your account reverts to free.
I cannot find the Cancel button on the website. What should I do?
If you subscribed through the Apple App Store or Google Play Store, the cancel button will not appear on the Reddit website. You need to cancel through the platform where you originally subscribed. Check your iPhone Settings or Google Play subscriptions.
Do I need to cancel 24 hours before renewal?
If you subscribed through Apple, you need to cancel at least 24 hours before your subscription renews to avoid being charged for the next period. For direct subscriptions through Reddit, canceling at any time before renewal is sufficient.
