How to Cancel Pimsleur
Skycopia rates Pimsleur 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.
Cancellation line: 1-800-831-5497
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 Pimsleur bills you again after you've cancelled. It reads your bank data and keeps you on top of your cancellations and subscriptions.

Cancellation steps
- 1
Bought direct on pimsleur.com: sign in at store.pimsleur.com/account/subscription → cancel the subscription, or call the number above
- 2
Bought through the Apple App Store: Settings → [your name] → Subscriptions → Pimsleur → Cancel
- 3
Bought through Google Play: open the Pimsleur app → Menu → Subscriptions → Pimsleur → Cancel
- 4
Cancel before your next billing date (Apple/Google purchases: at least 24 hours before renewal) — access continues through the end of the period you already paid for
Or have Sky walk you through it one step at a time, with the right page open beside this one — then watch your bank data to confirm the charge actually stopped.
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.

What should I watch out for when cancelling Pimsleur?
Pimsleur says flatly it "cannot issue refunds for any part of an unused term" once a subscription has renewed. The only way out is the separate 30-Day Money-Back Guarantee — direct/call-center purchases only (not Apple/Google), one refund per customer, no 7+ day free trial first. To use it: call 1-800-831-5497 or email within 30 calendar days for an order number, then sign and return a declaration form confirming you're the original purchaser and haven't kept copies, within 7 calendar days — refunds then take 4-6 weeks to process.
