How to Cancel GEDmatch Tier1
Skycopia rates GEDmatch Tier1 as medium to cancel, though you can do it yourself online. Expect some friction and probably an offer to stay, not a one-click exit.
Cancelling is the easy part — making it stick is the hard part. Skycopia watches the charge from both sides: a nudge before the renewal date so you don't miss your window, and an alert if GEDmatch Tier1 bills you again after you've cancelled. It reads your bank data and keeps you on top of your cancellations and subscriptions.

Charged again after cancelling? Dispute it with your card issuer — the steps above are your proof you cancelled, and the date you did it. Skycopia flags a zombie rebill the moment it lands, so you catch it inside the dispute window instead of six months later.

GEDmatch's terms don't offer prorated refunds, but you keep Tier1 access through the billing period you already paid for. Only ever used the free One-to-Many match list (capped at 3,000 matches)? You were never on the $10/month Tier1 plan — check your payment history before assuming there's anything to cancel.
