How to cancel Kidpass in the UAE and reclaim your credits and money

Understanding Kidpass and why you might cancel

Kidpass is a membership service that gives you access to children's classes, activities and events across multiple cities and online platforms throughout the region. When you subscribe, you receive activity credits and member-only discounts to book experiences from participating providers. If Kidpass no longer aligns with your family's needs, Yafee is here to guide you through every cancellation option available to you in the UAE, and explain your consumer rights under UAE law.

How Kidpass works

You can purchase Kidpass subscriptions directly through the Kidpass website or via third-party app stores such as Apple App Store and Google Play. Your billing method, available credits and cancellation process all depend on where you originally signed up. This distinction matters because web purchases follow different rules than in-app purchases, and Yafee recommends you identify exactly which path applies to you before you start the cancellation process.

The credit system and expiry dates

Kidpass grants you activity credits with each subscription period. These credits expire after 90 days if unused, and many users report losing unused credits when they cancel or pause their membership. Understanding how credits work before you cancel helps you decide whether to use them first or negotiate a refund with support. Yafee advises you to review your current credit balance in your account before you submit any cancellation request.

Your consumer rights in the united arab emirates

UAE consumer protection law grants you specific statutory rights when cancelling subscriptions purchased remotely, and Yafee strongly recommends you understand these rights before contacting Kidpass support.

The 14-day cooling-off period under UAE law

Federal Law No. 15 of 2020 (the UAE Consumer Protection Law) generally grants you a 14-day cooling-off period for remote purchases, including online subscriptions. This cooling-off right applies unless your contract explicitly excludes it. Kidpass terms do not clearly state whether they exclude the UAE statutory cooling-off period, which means you may have a legal right to cancel and request a refund within 14 days of your first purchase or renewal date.

Your legal position: If you purchased your Kidpass subscription within the last 14 days, you may invoke the UAE Consumer Protection Law cooling-off period in your cancellation email. Reference Federal Law No. 15 of 2020 and request cancellation plus a full refund. Kidpass must respond to your legal rights claim within a reasonable timeframe.

Where to escalate if Kidpass refuses your refund

If Kidpass denies your refund request and you believe you have a valid claim under UAE consumer law, you can escalate your complaint to the General Authority for Consumer Protection (GACP). The GACP is the official consumer enforcement body in the UAE and oversees disputes between consumers and service providers. You do not need a lawyer to file a complaint with the GACP. Yafee recommends you document your cancellation request, Kidpass's response and the date you purchased your subscription before escalating to the authority.

Kidpass pricing and your subscription cost

Knowing exactly what you pay helps you calculate whether a refund is worth pursuing and what to expect when you cancel your account.

Standard Kidpass subscription rates

Kidpass advertises a standard monthly plan at USD 49.00 globally. However, if you purchased through the UAE App Store or Google Play Store with an AED-denominated account, you are charged in UAE dirhams. Exchange rates fluctuate daily, so your exact AED charge may differ from the USD equivalent. Yafee advises you to check your App Store receipt or your Kidpass account billing page to see the exact AED amount you were charged.

Important note: Kidpass does not publish an official AED price for UAE customers on their main website. The conversion rate applied by Apple or Google may not match the standard exchange rate. Take a screenshot of your billing statement before you cancel, in case you need to dispute the charge with your payment provider or escalate to the GACP.

Three methods to cancel your Kidpass subscription

You can terminate your Kidpass membership through email, phone or your online account settings, depending on which platform suits you best.

Method 1: cancel via email (recommended)

Email is the fastest and most transparent way to cancel Kidpass because you create a written record of your request. Send your cancellation request to [email protected] or [email protected], depending on which email address appears on your account.

1. Open your email client and compose a new message to [email protected]
   • If you subscribed through Kidpass directly, use [email protected]
2. Write a clear subject line: "Cancellation Request for Kidpass Account"
3. Include in the email body:
   • Your full name as it appears on your Kidpass account
   • Your email address linked to your Kidpass subscription
   • The date you first subscribed or last renewed
   • Your reason for cancellation (optional, but helpful)
   • If within 14 days of purchase: reference Federal Law No. 15 of 2020 and request a full refund
4. Send the email and wait for a response within 5 to 7 business days
5. Save a copy of your email and any reply for your records

Yafee recommends you use a tone that is clear and professional. Request explicit confirmation that your subscription has been cancelled and ask whether you will receive a refund.

Method 2: cancel by phone

You can speak directly with a Kidpass customer service representative by calling (888) 465-4372. This method works well if you want immediate confirmation or need to discuss your unused credits.

1. Call (888) 465-4372 during business hours (confirm the hours on the Kidpass website first)
2. Provide your full name and the email address linked to your account
3. Ask the representative to confirm your subscription status and any available credits
4. Request cancellation and ask for confirmation in writing via email
5. Note the representative's name and the time of your call
6. Follow up with an email confirmation to [email protected] summarizing the call

Phone cancellation is immediate, but Yafee advises you to request written confirmation by email immediately after the call to protect yourself in case of a billing dispute.

Method 3: cancel through your account settings

If you prefer to self-serve, you can cancel your subscription directly through your Kidpass account online.

1. Log in to your Kidpass account on the Kidpass website or app
2. Navigate to your account settings or dashboard
3. Look for a "Billing" or "Subscription" section
4. Select "Cancel Subscription" and follow the prompts
5. Confirm your cancellation request when prompted
6. Yafee recommends you take a screenshot of the cancellation confirmation page for your records
7. Send a follow-up email to [email protected] confirming you cancelled via the app or website

Refunds, credits and what happens after you cancel

After you submit your cancellation request, you need to understand how Kidpass handles refunds and what happens to your remaining credits.

What to expect after you cancel

Once you cancel your Kidpass subscription, your access typically terminates at the end of your current billing cycle. You will not be charged for the next billing period. Kidpass does not automatically refund the cost of your current billing period unless you cancel within the statutory 14-day cooling-off period or you negotiate a partial refund based on your specific circumstances.

Your unused credits and refund timeline

Unused activity credits may be forfeited when you cancel. However, if you purchased within 14 days and invoke the UAE Consumer Protection Law, Yafee advises you to request cancellation plus a full refund in your initial email. Kidpass should respond within 10 business days. If they refuse, escalate to the General Authority for Consumer Protection (GACP) and provide your email correspondence as evidence.

Refunds, if approved, typically appear in your original payment method within 5 to 10 business days. Check your bank or app store account for the credit. If no refund appears after 10 days, contact your bank or app store support to confirm the refund status.

Cancellation confirmation and documentation

Always request written confirmation of your cancellation from Kidpass support. Save all emails, screenshots and receipts. This documentation is essential if you later dispute a charge or file a complaint with the GACP. Yafee strongly advises you to keep these records for at least one year.

Common mistakes to avoid when cancelling Kidpass

The cancellation process is straightforward, but a few missteps can delay your refund or leave you without evidence of your request.

Mistake 1: cancelling via the app without email follow-up

If you cancel through the app's settings menu, Kidpass may not send you a detailed confirmation email. You lose a paper trail if you later need to dispute a charge. Always follow up with an email to [email protected] after cancelling via the app.

Mistake 2: not invoking your legal rights within 14 days

If you purchased within 14 days and you do not mention the UAE Consumer Protection Law cooling-off period in your cancellation email, Kidpass may treat your request as a standard cancellation with no refund. Explicitly reference Federal Law No. 15 of 2020 if you believe you qualify for the 14-day refund right.

Mistake 3: failing to document your credits balance

Take a screenshot of your account showing your current credit balance before you cancel. If Kidpass later claims you had no credits, you have visual evidence. Yafee recommends you use this screenshot when escalating to the GACP if a refund is denied.

Mistake 4: not checking the app store cancellation requirements

If you subscribed via Apple App Store or Google Play, you may also need to cancel the subscription through the app store itself, not just through Kidpass. Failing to cancel at the app store level can result in continued charges. Check your app store subscription settings separately.

Timeline for cancellation and refund processing

Understanding the expected timeline helps you know when to follow up if your cancellation or refund is delayed.

How to escalate to the GACP if Kidpass refuses

If Kidpass denies your refund request and you believe you have a valid legal claim, the General Authority for Consumer Protection is your formal escalation route.

Filing a complaint with the GACP

The GACP handles consumer disputes across the UAE. You can file a complaint online or in person at a GACP office in your emirate. Yafee recommends you gather all documentation first: your cancellation email, Kidpass's response, your subscription purchase receipt, and your payment confirmation. Submit these documents along with a clear summary of your complaint explaining why you believe Kidpass should refund your money under the UAE Consumer Protection Law.

What to include in your GACP complaint

1. Your full name and contact information
2. Kidpass's email address and service details
3. The date you purchased the subscription
4. The amount you paid (in AED or USD)
5. A summary of your cancellation request and Kidpass's response
6. Reference to Federal Law No. 15 of 2020 and the 14-day cooling-off period (if applicable)
7. Copies of all supporting documents: emails, receipts, screenshots
8. A clear statement of what you are requesting (full refund, partial refund, or credit)

The GACP will investigate your complaint and contact Kidpass for their response. You may be invited to attend a hearing or settlement conference. Yafee advises you that this process typically takes 30 to 60 days. You do not need a lawyer to file or pursue your complaint.
