Subscription cancellation

[Fred00000]

I signed up for a weekly subscription yesterday to watch a game of footy. I now want to cancel this subscription so that I am not being charged every week for the rest of my life. But do you think there is any cancel subscription button anywhere to be seen? NO. I have done this before and there was previously a button that was easy to find. Not anymore. I have wasted over an hour trawling through all the help pages and my subscription pages and there is NOTHING. Please advise what algorithm is required to cancel my subscription? This feels like a deliberate SCAM to prevent users from being able to easily opt out of subscriptions. It is completely ridiculous and unacceptable. I will not be using this app ever again.

Again - Please advise how to cancel my subscription.

Hey @Fred00000

Thanks for your post and sorry for the trouble cancelling your subscription. Firstly, how did you subscribe for your AFL Live Pass? (In app purchase, AFL.com.au, Club Digital membership or our 2018 AFL Live Pass Offer)

If you're not sure, it will be shown as one of these options on your credit card:

Telstra Applications Melbourne = Subscribed via Website
GOOGLE *Telstra CorpGOOGLE.COM = In App subscription via Google Play
APPLE ITUNES STORE SYDNEY = In App Subscription via iTunes

You can find the steps to cancel via this link. If you have any trouble following these steps, please let me know.

Thanks

I have already tried all of these options.
The website button titled 'manage my live AFL pass' does not take you to the screen it should. It takes you straight to a subscription screen, which, oddly enough says 'Cancel Anytime' just below the 'Subscribe' button.
The app does the same thing.
Google Play does not show the AFL live pass in the subscription screen.
Seriously, how hard should this be?
Can you please provide a telephone contact number so that I can request cancellation of my subscription without having to waste my entire day.

@Fred00000 I will send you a private message so we can get some more details and investigate further.

I am having exactly the same problem as Fred00000. I try to cancel but the 'cancel' option does not respond

My issue was that I was trying to go into AFL Live domestic, ie not international. I didn't realise the difference. Once I got into the international site, I was able to cancel

Absolute nightmare trying to cancel, a good idea for AFL/Telstra getting money for nothing.

Hi @grahammac2014

Thank you for your post, my apologies for any issues you're experiencing with cancelling your AFL Live Pass. 

Can you please confirm how you subscribed? (the charge will appear as one of the below on your bank statement if you're not sure)

Subscriptions need to be cancelled the same way they were subscribed. 

If you subscribed via the AFL Website, you will need to log on with your email address/password and cancel via "Manage my Account" 

You can find instructions here to cancel the in app purchase through Google Play

You can find instructions here to cancel the in app purchase through iTunes

Please let us know if you require any further assistance.

Same here, they do that on purpose so people give up & just keep paying the money. looks like I will cancel my credit card.

[grahammac2014]

Can you do the same with me please. I'm about to explode with frustration.
