How to cancel Next Vacay and claim your refund in canada
Why you might want to cancel Next Vacay
Next Vacay is a subscription service that monitors airfare prices from major carriers and delivers time-sensitive flight deal alerts directly to your inbox. The annual membership costs approximately CAD $238 to $245 and includes a 30-day free trial, plus unlimited notifications for discounted fares. You access the service through Next Vacay's website or mobile app (available on the App Store and Google Play).
Many subscribers decide to cancel because the deal alerts don't align with their travel schedules, the notification frequency becomes overwhelming, or they've already booked flights elsewhere. Others discover that automatic renewal charges arrived without clear warning, or the promotional free trial wasn't honoured as advertised. At Yafee, we understand that subscription fatigue is real, and you have clear legal rights to cancel whenever the service no longer delivers value.
When cancellation makes practical sense
You should cancel Next Vacay if you don't travel frequently enough to justify the annual fee, if you've locked in flight prices through other channels, or if the deal frequency doesn't match your booking patterns. You also have an unconditional right to cancel during the 30-day free trial before any payment is charged to your account.
Why the timing of your cancellation affects your refund
Next Vacay advertises a 6-month money-back guarantee on your initial annual subscription. This means you can request a full refund of your subscription fee if you notify them in writing within six months of your subscription start date. However, for renewal charges in year two and beyond, you have only 14 days to request a refund. If you miss these windows, you forfeit eligibility for a refund, even if you cancel immediately afterward.
Your consumer rights in canada and what they protect
Canadian consumer protection law requires businesses to honour the terms they advertise publicly. If Next Vacay advertises a 30-day free trial, they must deliver it. If they promote a 6-month money-back guarantee, you're entitled to claim that refund within the stated timeframe.
Provincial consumer protection legislation (which varies by province but operates on similar principles) grants you the right to dispute unauthorized charges with your credit card company or bank. If Next Vacay charged you without your explicit consent or after you submitted a valid cancellation request, you can file a chargeback. Your financial institution will investigate and may reverse the charge in your favour.
Your legal position
You hold three core protections under Canadian law. First, you have the right to cancel any subscription service at any time by providing written notice. Second, you're entitled to receive the specific refund terms advertised (the 6-month guarantee and 14-day renewal window). Third, if Next Vacay fails to honour these terms, you can escalate the complaint to your provincial consumer protection authority, such as the Ontario government's Consumer Protection Act enforcement office or your province's equivalent.
What happens if Next Vacay ignores your cancellation request
If Next Vacay doesn't respond within 5 to 7 business days of your cancellation email, send a follow-up message and retain copies of both your original request and the follow-up for your records. If they continue to ignore you or deny your refund despite meeting the refund window, escalate to your provincial consumer agency. You can also file a complaint with your credit card issuer, who possesses investigative authority and can force a refund through the chargeback process if the company's refusal is unjustified.
Cancellation methods for Next Vacay
Your cancellation path depends entirely on where you purchased your subscription: directly from Next Vacay, or through a third-party platform such as Apple's App Store or Google Play.
If you subscribed directly through Next vacay's website
You must cancel in writing by email. Next Vacay does not offer an online account cancellation portal or telephone support for subscription termination. Send your cancellation request to [email protected]. Your email should clearly state that you wish to cancel your subscription, include your account email address, and specify whether you're requesting a refund based on the 6-month or 14-day guarantee.
Retain a copy of your cancellation email and the timestamp. Request a read receipt or confirmation of cancellation from Next Vacay. Do not assume silence means acceptance; if you receive no response within 5 to 7 business days, send a follow-up email referencing your original request.
If you subscribed through apple's app store
You must cancel directly through Apple, not through Next Vacay. Apple's refund policy overrides Next Vacay's own terms. Open the App Store app on your iPhone or iPad, tap your profile icon in the top right corner, select "Subscriptions," locate Next Vacay, and tap "Cancel Subscription." Apple will ask you to confirm the cancellation and may offer you a discount to retain your subscription; decline if you wish to proceed.
For refunds, Apple permits cancellations within 14 days of the initial purchase or a renewal date. If you cancel within this window, Apple will typically refund the charge automatically. If you cancel after 14 days, you forfeit the refund unless you contact Apple Support directly and request a refund based on non-delivery of service or your discovery that Next Vacay's advertised terms were not honoured.
If you subscribed through google play
Cancel directly through Google Play, not through Next Vacay, because Google's refund policy governs your transaction. On your Android device, open the Google Play app, tap your profile icon in the top right corner, navigate to "Payments and subscriptions," select "Subscriptions," find Next Vacay, and tap "Cancel subscription."
Google allows cancellations within 48 hours of initial purchase or a renewal date for automatic refunds. If you cancel after this window, you forfeit the automatic refund unless you contact Google Support and request a refund based on non-delivery, misrepresentation, or unauthorized charges. Document your request and the reason you're seeking the refund.
Step-by-step cancellation process
Follow this procedure to cancel Next Vacay securely and document your request for future reference.

What happens after you cancel
Once Next Vacay confirms your cancellation, your subscription will terminate on the date specified in their confirmation email. You will no longer receive deal alerts, and your account access will end. However, cancellation does not automatically trigger a refund; you must request the refund explicitly within the eligible window, as outlined above.
Timeline for refunds after cancellation
If Next Vacay approves your refund request, the company will process the refund to your original payment method. Refund timelines vary: if you paid by credit card, expect the refund to appear within 3 to 5 business days. If you paid via a bank account or digital wallet, allow 5 to 10 business days. Yafee recommends checking your bank or credit card statement to confirm the refund has been credited.
Confirming that Next Vacay has stopped charging you
Monitor your payment statements for 30 days after cancellation to ensure Next Vacay doesn't submit any additional charges. If an unwanted charge appears after your cancellation date, contact your bank or credit card issuer immediately and request a chargeback. Retain your cancellation email and Next Vacay's confirmation as evidence that you terminated the subscription.
Common cancellation mistakes and how to avoid them
Thousands of subscribers inadvertently forfeit refunds by missing critical deadlines or failing to follow Next Vacay's required cancellation procedure. You can protect yourself by understanding these frequent pitfalls.
Assuming silence means cancellation
Many subscribers send a cancellation email and assume the absence of a response means the cancellation is complete. This is incorrect. Next Vacay's Terms of Service require written confirmation of cancellation. If you don't receive explicit confirmation within 7 business days, assume the company has not processed your request and send a follow-up email. Document every communication with timestamps.
Cancelling through the wrong channel
If you subscribed through Apple's App Store or Google Play, cancelling via email to [email protected] will not stop the subscription. You must cancel directly through the platform where you subscribed. Apple and Google control the billing relationship, not Next Vacay. Yafee has helped thousands of consumers recover refunds by cancelling through the correct platform rather than attempting to cancel through the merchant's website.
Missing the refund window deadlines
The 6-month refund window for initial purchases and the 14-day window for renewals are strict. If your subscription was active 6 months and one day ago, or your renewal charge occurred 15 days ago, you no longer qualify for the advertised refund guarantee. Mark your calendar 30 days before these windows close and act before the deadline.
Failing to request a refund explicitly
Cancellation and refund requests are separate actions. You can cancel your subscription without requesting a refund, and you can request a refund only if you've cancelled. Always include the phrase "I request a refund" in your cancellation email alongside your cancellation request. This ensures Next Vacay understands your intent and processes both actions simultaneously.

Escalation steps if Next Vacay refuses to honour your refund
Not every cancellation request results in an immediate or positive response. If Next Vacay denies your refund despite meeting the eligibility window, or fails to respond to your cancellation request, you have legal remedies.
Step one: request a chargeback from your financial institution
Contact your credit card company or bank within 60 days of the disputed charge. Provide your financial institution with copies of your cancellation email, the timestamp of when you sent it, and Next Vacay's failure to respond or refusal to refund. Explain that Next Vacay advertised a 6-month or 14-day money-back guarantee and did not honour it. Your financial institution will investigate and can reverse the charge in your favour, even if Next Vacay refuses to cooperate.
Step two: escalate to your provincial consumer protection authority
If the chargeback is unsuccessful or you wish to pursue a formal complaint against Next Vacay, contact your provincial consumer protection office. In Ontario, this is the Government of Ontario Consumer Protection Act enforcement division. In British Columbia, the Office of the Registrar of Mortgage Brokers and the Consumer Protection BC division handle subscription disputes. In Alberta, the Fair Trading Act is enforced by the Government of Alberta. Your provincial authority can investigate Next Vacay's compliance with advertised refund terms and may impose penalties or force a refund on your behalf.
Step three: report to the better business bureau
File a formal complaint with the Better Business Bureau (BBB) in the province where Next Vacay operates. The BBB maintains a public record of complaints and can pressure businesses to respond to disputes. A pattern of refund complaints may lead the BBB to lower Next Vacay's rating and alert other consumers to the issue.
