How to Cancel Second Life Premium Membership
Skycopia rates Second Life Premium Membership 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.
🔍 The founder's own audit flagged $19,207/yr — 62 recurring charges out of 6,027 transactions, real numbers as of July 2026.
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 Second Life Premium Membership bills you again after you've cancelled. It reads your bank data and keeps you on top of your cancellations and subscriptions.
Free to set up — no card needed.

Cancellation steps
- 1
Before downgrading, sell or abandon all owned land/Linden Home in-viewer (World → About Land → Abandon Land) — Linden Lab blocks the downgrade while you still hold land
- 2
Sign in at secondlife.com → Account → Change Membership
- 3
Click "Downgrade to Basic membership" → confirm the plan change → complete checkout and the exit survey
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 Second Life Premium Membership?
The downgrade only takes effect on your next billing date — no partial refund for time already paid. Land-use fees are billed on the peak amount of land you held during the prior 30-day cycle, so a charge can still land after you've cancelled. Downgrading also immediately ends the weekly Linden-dollar stipend and live-chat support.
Is cancelling Second Life Premium Membership the same as deleting my account?
No — cancelling stops the billing but usually leaves the account (and its data) open. Cancel first so you aren't charged again, then delete the account through Second Life Premium Membership's account or privacy settings, or ask their support to erase it.
