How to cancel your Harvest Hosts membership from canada
Why you might want to cancel Harvest Hosts
Harvest Hosts is a membership network connecting recreational vehicle (RV) travellers across North America with farms, wineries, breweries, museums, and other attractions that offer overnight parking access. You pay an annual membership fee for access to these host locations, book stays through the website or mobile application, and are expected to purchase goods or services from the hosts during your visits.
Your travel plans may have shifted, or you've determined that the annual cost no longer aligns with your budget or usage patterns. Whatever your reason, you deserve a straightforward cancellation process grounded in Canadian consumer protection law. At Yafee, we help you understand your rights and execute your cancellation cleanly.
Common reasons RV travellers cancel their memberships
You might cancel because your travel schedule has changed, you're not using the membership frequently enough to justify the annual fee, you've found alternative RV parks better suited to your needs, or you prefer traditional campground amenities over farm-based stays. Understanding your reason helps you determine whether cancellation is genuinely the best option or whether you could adjust your membership tier instead.
What continues after you cancel
Once you initiate cancellation, your access to Harvest Hosts typically continues until the end of your paid term. This means you retain full membership benefits for the remainder of your current year, even though automatic renewal stops immediately. If you cancel mid-term and expect an immediate refund, you must verify Harvest Hosts' refund eligibility criteria, which we cover in detail below. Your legal rights are governed by the Competition Act and provincial consumer protection legislation across Canada.
Your consumer protection rights under canadian law
As a consumer in Canada, you are protected by federal and provincial consumer protection statutes that govern subscription cancellation and refund eligibility.
Your legal position under the competition act
The Competition Act (federal legislation enforced by the Competition Bureau) prohibits false or misleading representations about the terms and conditions of a membership. If Harvest Hosts made unclear statements about cancellation procedures, automatic renewal, or refund terms, you may have grounds to escalate a complaint to the Competition Bureau.
Provincial consumer protection frameworks
Depending on your province of residence, additional protections apply. Most provinces (including Ontario under the Consumer Protection Act, 2002, and British Columbia under the Consumer Protection Act) require that subscription or membership agreements clearly disclose cancellation methods, renewal terms, and any charges before you consent. If Harvest Hosts failed to provide clear pre-authorization disclosures, you may have a claim for damages or automatic refund eligibility.
Furthermore, the Negative Option Billing (NOB) Rules, introduced in 2022 under the Competition Act, mandate that companies obtain express informed consent before charging for subscription renewals and must provide simple cancellation mechanisms. Harvest Hosts must allow you to cancel through the same channel you used to subscribe (or through an equally simple method). Failure to do so constitutes a violation of the NOB Rules.
Escalation route if Harvest Hosts refuses to comply
If Harvest Hosts refuses to cancel your membership or denies an eligible refund, contact the Competition Bureau's Consumer Complaint Line (1-800-348-5358) or file a complaint online at competitionbureau.gc.ca. You can also escalate to your provincial consumer protection authority: Consumer Protection Ontario (Ontario), Consumer Protection BC (British Columbia), or the equivalent agency in your province. Yafee recommends documenting all communication with Harvest Hosts before escalating.
Your cancellation methods: choose the route that suits you
Harvest Hosts provides multiple cancellation pathways depending on how and where you purchased your membership.
Cancel directly through the Harvest Hosts website
This is the fastest and most transparent method. Sign into your account using your email address and password. Navigate to your membership or account settings section (typically located in the top right corner of your dashboard). Select the "Cancel Membership" or equivalent button. The system confirms your cancellation instantly and removes auto-renewal from your account. Yafee recommends taking a screenshot of the confirmation page for your records.
Cancel via the apple app store if you subscribed on iOS
If you purchased your membership through Apple's App Store, you must cancel through Apple's subscription settings, not through Harvest Hosts' website. Harvest Hosts cannot process App Store cancellations or issue refunds directly because Apple manages that relationship and payment processing. Open the App Store app on your iOS device, tap your profile icon, select "Subscriptions," find Harvest Hosts, and tap "Cancel Subscription." Apple's system controls your access period and refund eligibility from that point forward.
Cancel by postal mail with proof of receipt
You can send a written cancellation request to Harvest Hosts' corporate mailing address by registered mail with return receipt (Canada Post's "Registered Mail Signature" service). This creates documented proof that Harvest Hosts received your cancellation request. Yafee recommends including your full name, membership number, email address, and a clear statement: "I request immediate cancellation of my Harvest Hosts membership, effective immediately." Follow up via their website contact form or live chat within 5 business days to request confirmation and any applicable refund.
Step-by-step: cancel your Harvest Hosts membership online

Step 3: locate your active membership

Step 5: confirm and document your cancellation
- The system displays a confirmation message indicating that your membership cancellation is complete.
- Take a screenshot or print this confirmation page.
- Note the cancellation date and any reference number displayed.
- Check your email inbox (including spam and promotions folders) for a cancellation confirmation message from Harvest Hosts.
- Save this email for your records in case you need to prove cancellation later.
Step 6: verify your access status after 24 hours

How to request a refund if you qualify
If you believe you qualify for a refund (for example, you cancelled within 14 days of purchase or auto-renewal), contact Harvest Hosts' support team via live chat, email, or your account dashboard. Provide your membership number, the date you were charged, and the date you initiated cancellation. Yafee advises keeping a record of this communication. Most refunds process within 5 to 10 business days if approved.
What happens after your cancellation is processed
Once Harvest Hosts confirms your cancellation, your account transitions to inactive status, although certain residual access may continue until your paid term expires.
Your ongoing access and member benefits
You retain full access to all Harvest Hosts locations and features until the end of your paid membership term. After that date, your account loses access entirely. You can still view your booking history and past stays in your account, but you cannot book new stays or access the member directory. If you cancel via Apple's App Store, access revocation timing depends on Apple's system and may differ slightly from website cancellations.
No further charges will occur
Harvest Hosts stops all automatic renewal charges immediately upon cancellation. Monitor your credit card or bank account statements for 30 days to confirm no further charges appear. If you see a charge after cancellation, contact Harvest Hosts immediately and escalate to your credit card issuer or bank if necessary. Under the Negative Option Billing Rules, unauthorized charges after cancellation may entitle you to a dispute credit.
Cancellation confirmation emails and archiving
Harvest Hosts sends a cancellation confirmation email to your registered email address. Archive this email in a dedicated folder for your records. If you do not receive a confirmation email within 24 hours of cancelling via the website, log back into your account to verify the cancellation was processed. If the status remains "Active," contact Harvest Hosts support immediately. Yafee recommends keeping all Harvest Hosts-related correspondence for at least two years.
Common mistakes to avoid during cancellation
Many consumers encounter unnecessary delays or complications because they overlook simple but critical steps. The good news is that awareness prevents nearly all of these problems.
Assuming cancellation works without confirmation
Do not assume your membership is cancelled just because you clicked a "Cancel" button. Log back into your account 24 hours later to verify that your membership status has changed to "Cancelled" or "Inactive." Take a screenshot of this confirmation. Without visible proof, you may struggle to dispute unexpected charges if your cancellation fails silently.
Cancelling through the wrong channel
If you subscribed via the Apple App Store, cancelling through the Harvest Hosts website does not work. You must cancel through Apple's subscription settings. Similarly, if you subscribed through the website, you cannot cancel via the Apple App Store. Match the cancellation channel to your original purchase method. Yafee recommends checking your original purchase confirmation email to identify where you subscribed.
Forgetting to disable auto-renewal before your next billing date
If you want to cancel immediately but keep access until your renewal date, cancel promptly. However, if you wait until after your renewal date has passed, you will be charged for another year before you can cancel. Calculate your next renewal date (shown in your account settings) and cancel at least 5 business days beforehand.
Not documenting your refund request
If you believe you qualify for a refund, send your request via a channel that generates a record (live chat, support ticket system, or email). Do not rely on phone conversations without written follow-up. Yafee advises you to screenshot the support conversation or forward a summary email immediately afterward to confirm the exchange.

Should you pause instead of cancel?
Contact Harvest Hosts support and ask whether they offer a membership pause or suspension feature. Some networks allow you to freeze your membership for 3 to 6 months without losing your account history or paying the full renewal fee. This option suits travellers with seasonal schedules who may return to road travel later. Yafee recommends exploring this option before pursuing full cancellation if you're uncertain about your long-term plans.
After cancellation: your next steps and checklist
Cancellation is complete, but a few follow-up actions ensure you remain protected and avoid unexpected complications.
Monitor your accounts and statements
Check your credit card or bank account every week for 30 days after cancellation. Look for any charges labelled "Harvest Hosts," "HH," or similar variations. If an unexpected charge appears, contact your bank or credit card issuer immediately and request a chargeback or dispute. Under Canadian consumer protection law, you have the right to dispute unauthorized recurring charges within a specified timeframe (typically 120 days).
Archive your confirmation documents
Save your cancellation confirmation email, screenshot of the cancelled membership status, and any refund correspondence in a dedicated folder (physical or digital). Retain these documents for at least two years. If you later dispute a charge with your credit card issuer or bank, you will need proof that you cancelled on a specific date.
Uninstall the Harvest Hosts app if desired
Delete the Harvest Hosts mobile application from your iOS or Android device if you no longer plan to use it. This step is optional but prevents accidental re-subscription if you tap the app in the future. Ensure your membership is marked as cancelled in your app account settings before deleting.
Respond to post-cancellation surveys (optional)
Harvest Hosts may email you a survey asking about your cancellation experience. Providing constructive feedback helps the company improve its service and can document any issues you experienced with the cancellation process. Yafee does not require you to respond, but feedback strengthens your record if you later dispute charges.
Your post-cancellation checklist
- Verify membership status shows "Cancelled" in your account (24 hours after cancellation).
- Take a screenshot of the cancelled status and save it.
- Save the cancellation confirmation email from Harvest Hosts.
- Monitor your bank and credit card statements for 30 days.
- If a refund was promised, verify it appears in your account (5-10 business days).
- Contact Harvest Hosts support if you see unexpected charges after cancellation.
- Delete the Harvest Hosts app from your phone if you no longer use it.
- Retain all cancellation documents for two years.
If you choose to cancel by postal mail, send your written request to the following corporate address. Use Canada Post's Registered Mail Signature service to obtain proof of receipt.

Corporate Mailing Address
