How to cancel My Trip Online and stop recurring charges
About My Trip Online and why cancellations matter
My Trip Online is a UK-based travel membership platform that charges recurring fees in exchange for access to discounted hotel rates, flight packages, and exclusive holiday deals. You pay a monthly or annual subscription fee, and the service operates on automatic renewal-meaning charges continue indefinitely until you actively cancel. Many subscribers sign up expecting frequent travel, only to discover that actual savings fall short of marketing claims, or their circumstances change entirely. If you've decided the membership no longer delivers value, you have a legal right to cancel at any time under UK consumer law.
Yafee specialises in guiding consumers through cancellation procedures across subscription services, including travel platforms. Understanding your cancellation options and the legal framework protecting you is the first step toward regaining control of your finances.
Common reasons subscribers cancel
Your travel habits shift. You might have joined expecting three or four trips annually, only to find work commitments, family circumstances, or financial constraints limit your ability to travel. Others discover that deals available through My Trip Online can be matched or beaten independently through direct airline or hotel websites. Some subscribers realise the membership fee itself represents a loss when measured against actual bookings made. Budget pressure is another legitimate driver-during economic uncertainty, cutting discretionary subscriptions is a sensible first step. Whatever your reason, cancellation is straightforward once you know the correct procedure.
What My Trip Online charges and how it works
My Trip Online operates on a subscription model with automatic renewal. Charges continue monthly or annually until you submit a formal cancellation request. The platform does not automatically pause your membership or refund unused portions of annual plans without explicit cancellation. This structure means delays in cancelling can result in additional unwanted charges accumulating on your payment method.

Before you cancel, review your exact subscription tier and billing cycle to understand what you're paying.

How to identify your current plan
Log into your My Trip Online account and navigate to "Account Settings," "My Membership," or "Billing Information." Your membership dashboard displays your current tier, renewal date, and the exact amount charged per cycle. Screenshot or note your renewal date immediately-this deadline is critical. Cross-reference your bank or credit card statements to confirm the precise charge amount. If you subscribe via Apple, Google, or Amazon platforms, check those app stores as well, as subscription management may differ there.
Evaluate whether cancellation is right for you
Cancelling locks you out of discounted rates immediately, so pause briefly to assess the decision.
Reasons to maintain your membership
If you travel three or more times annually and consistently save more through the platform than the membership fee costs, renewal makes financial sense. Some subscribers find genuine value in bundled package deals (hotels plus flights) that are not available through competitors. Early-bird access to sales can deliver substantial discounts on school holidays or peak-season travel. Premium members with high travel frequency often break even or profit. Calculate your total annual travel spend and compare it with and without membership before deciding.
Clear signals that cancellation is the right move
You have not booked a trip using the service in the past six months. You routinely find cheaper rates by booking directly with hotels or airlines. Your planned travel has become unpredictable or impossible due to work or family commitments. You face financial hardship and need to reduce discretionary spending immediately. Customer service has failed to resolve complaints or provide promised benefits. You are paying more in membership fees than you save on actual bookings. Any one of these circumstances justifies moving forward with cancellation, and Yafee has helped thousands of consumers navigate this decision with clarity.
Your legal rights under UK consumer law
UK consumer protection law grants you specific cancellation rights, regardless of what My Trip Online's terms claim.
Your legal position
Under the Consumer Rights Act 2015 and the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013, you have a statutory right to cancel any online distance contract within 14 calendar days of purchase without providing a reason. For ongoing subscriptions, this 14-day period applies to your initial purchase. However, once that period ends, you remain entitled to cancel the subscription at any time by providing notice in accordance with the contract terms. My Trip Online cannot lock you into a subscription indefinitely or charge unfair cancellation fees. If the company has misrepresented savings or benefits, you may have additional claims under the Unfair Contract Terms Act 1977. Should My Trip Online refuse to honour your cancellation, you can escalate to the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) if they are authorised to provide payment services, or the Trading Standards at your local council if consumer protection rights are breached.
Step-by-step cancellation methods
My Trip Online provides multiple cancellation pathways; use whichever suits you best.
Cancel online through the website or app
- Log into your My Trip Online account using your email address and password.
- If you have forgotten your password, click "Forgot Password" and follow the reset link sent to your email.
- If you cannot access your account, note your username and registered email for alternative contact methods later.
- Navigate to "Account Settings" or "My Membership" from the main menu.
- This may appear in the top-right corner under your profile icon, or in a hamburger menu on mobile devices.
- Locate and select "Cancel Membership" or "Close Account" (exact wording varies).
- Read any exit survey or final offer popup carefully but do not feel pressured to reverse your decision.
- Some platforms present alternative options (e.g., a discount to stay); skip these if you are certain about cancellation.
- Confirm your cancellation choice when prompted.
- The system may ask for a reason; select the option that best reflects your situation.
- This provides valuable feedback to the company and may not affect your cancellation.
- Receive and save your cancellation confirmation.
- Screenshot the confirmation page or note the reference number provided.
- Check your email (including spam/promotions folders) for a cancellation confirmation email within 24 hours.
- If no email arrives, log back in to verify your membership status shows "Cancelled" or "Inactive".
Cancel by email
- Compose a clear, direct email to My Trip Online's customer service team.
- Use the email address listed on your account page or website footer (usually [email protected] or similar).
- Subject line: "Cancellation Request - [Your Full Name] - [Account Email Address]"
- Include the following essential information in the body:
- Your full name as registered on the account.
- Your account email address.
- Your account reference or membership number (if visible on your account page).
- A clear statement: "I wish to cancel my My Trip Online membership effective immediately."
- The date you send the email (acts as your notice date).
- Request a cancellation confirmation in reply.
- Write: "Please confirm receipt of this cancellation request and provide a reference number."
- Asking for confirmation creates a paper trail and protects you if the company later claims no cancellation was received.
- Send from the email address registered to your account.
- This proves the request comes from an authorised account holder.
- Use tracked or registered email (e.g., Royal Mail Special Delivery) if you want proof of delivery, though ordinary email is usually sufficient.
- Save your sent email and any reply for your records.
- Keep these documents for at least 12 months, as they prove you cancelled should disputes arise over charges.
Cancel by post
- Prepare a written cancellation letter.
- Use plain paper or a formal letter template.
- Date the letter clearly at the top.
- Address it to My Trip Online's registered office (obtained from their website footer or Companies House if needed).
- Include all required information in the letter:
- Your full name and registered account email address.
- Your membership number or account reference (if available).
- A clear statement: "I hereby cancel my My Trip Online membership effective immediately."
- Request written confirmation of receipt and cancellation.
- Your contact email and/or phone number for their response.
- Send by Royal Mail Special Delivery or Tracked 24.
- Standard post leaves you with no proof of delivery, which complicates disputes.
- Special Delivery costs approximately £9 and provides a receipt and tracking.
- Keep your proof-of-postage receipt permanently.
- Follow up if no confirmation arrives within 7 working days.
- Email customer service with your Royal Mail receipt number and ask for written confirmation that your letter was received and processed.
Cancel if subscribed through apple, google, or amazon
- If you subscribed to My Trip Online via an app store, cancellation may happen through that platform rather than directly with My Trip Online.
- Apple: Open the App Store, tap your profile icon, select "Subscriptions," find My Trip Online, and choose "Cancel Subscription."
- Google Play: Open the Play Store app, tap your profile icon, select "Manage Subscriptions," find My Trip Online, and choose "Cancel."
- Amazon: Open the Amazon Appstore, tap your library, find My Trip Online, and select "Cancel Subscription."
- Take a screenshot of the cancellation confirmation from the app store.
- This proves you cancelled, even if My Trip Online's own system has not updated.
- Email My Trip Online separately to confirm the cancellation has been processed on their end.
- Include the date and time you cancelled via the app store, plus your reference number if provided.
What happens after you cancel
Cancellation is final and immediate in most cases, so understand what changes once you confirm.
Access and immediate effects
Once My Trip Online processes your cancellation, you lose immediate access to discounted rates and exclusive offers. If you have an active booking at the time of cancellation, you retain access to that specific reservation. You cannot make new bookings under your membership discount after cancellation is confirmed. The company typically grants a grace period of 24 to 48 hours between when you submit cancellation and when your access actually terminates, though this varies. Check your account periodically over the next few days to confirm your membership status changes to "Cancelled" or "Inactive."
Future charges and billing
Your membership cancellation prevents future charges on your payment method. However, the company will process any charges that were triggered before your cancellation took effect. For example, if you cancel on the 20th but your renewal date is the 25th, the charge on the 25th may still appear; contact the company to request a refund. Conversely, if you cancel on the 5th and renewal is the 25th, no charge should appear. Check your bank or credit card statement 5 to 7 days after cancellation to confirm no unexpected charge has been applied. If a charge does appear after your cancellation, report it to your payment provider immediately.
Refund eligibility and timescale
Refunds depend on your membership tier and the timing of your cancellation. Monthly memberships are typically non-refundable-you have paid for access through the current billing period, and cancellation stops future charges only. Annual memberships may entitle you to a pro-rata refund if your contract terms permit it, though My Trip Online's standard terms often exclude refunds for unused portions. If you cancelled within 14 days of first purchase, you have a statutory right to a full refund under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013. If refund-eligible, My Trip Online will process it to your original payment method within 14 days of confirmed cancellation. Refunds to credit or debit cards typically appear within 5 to 10 working days; refunds via PayPal or other services may vary.
Common mistakes to avoid during cancellation
Cancellation is straightforward, but certain missteps can leave you paying longer than necessary.
Failing to cancel and assuming auto-renewal won't happen
The most frequent error is delaying cancellation in the hope you might travel again soon. Auto-renewal is automatic-the company will charge you unless you actively cancel. Hoping you won't use the service is not a strategy. If your mind is made up, submit your cancellation request today rather than wait for the next billing cycle. Yafee has observed that subscribers who delay often end up paying for three or more unwanted renewal periods before finally acting.
Cancelling only via email and not following up
Email is legitimate but offers less proof than other methods. If you cancel by email and receive no confirmation within 48 hours, the company may have lost your message or marked it as spam. Always request a confirmation reply and save it. If none arrives, escalate to phone or the online account dashboard immediately. Do not assume silence means acceptance.
Not checking your bank statement after cancellation
A small percentage of companies fail to stop charges despite cancellation confirmation. Check your statement 5 to 7 days post-cancellation. If an unexpected charge appears, contact your bank or card provider to dispute it, then email My Trip Online with evidence of the charge and your cancellation confirmation.
Cancelling through the app store but not My Trip Online directly
If you subscribed via Apple, Google, or Amazon, cancelling only through that platform may not trigger cancellation in My Trip Online's system. The two cancellations are separate. Do both: cancel the app store subscription and email or message My Trip Online directly to confirm they have processed your cancellation. This eliminates ambiguity.
Deleting the app instead of cancelling
Removing the My Trip Online app from your phone does not cancel your subscription. Your membership continues and charges continue. You must actively cancel through the account dashboard, email, or payment platform. App deletion is irrelevant to billing status.
Refunds, disputes, and escalation
If My Trip Online refuses to cancel or disputes your request, you have formal remedies under consumer law.
If the company denies your cancellation
My Trip Online cannot legally prevent you from cancelling a subscription. If the company claims you cannot cancel, states a cancellation fee applies, or refuses to process your request, respond in writing (email) within 7 days, citing the Consumer Rights Act 2015 and restating your cancellation instruction. Reference any previous cancellation requests and confirmation numbers. Inform them you will escalate to Trading Standards if they do not comply within 7 days.
If charges continue after cancellation
Contact your bank or card provider immediately and report unauthorised charges. Provide them with your cancellation confirmation email or letter, plus bank statements showing the unwanted charge. Most providers will freeze the charge and initiate a dispute on your behalf. Simultaneously, email My Trip Online requesting an explanation and refund. Keep all correspondence.
Escalation to trading standards and the FCA
If My Trip Online ignores your cancellation request or refuses refunds owed, file a complaint with your local Trading Standards office (found via your council website). You may also contact Citizens Advice Consumer Service, which logs complaints and tracks patterns of non-compliance. If the company is FCA-authorised (offering payment services), you can escalate through the FCA's complaint procedure. For smaller claims (under £350), you may pursue Small Claims Court without legal representation, though most companies comply well before this becomes necessary.

Reviews and final advice
My Trip Online subscribers report mixed experiences with cancellation. Most users report successful online cancellations within 24 hours. Some note the company's exit survey attempts to retain subscribers with discounts-politely decline if your decision is firm. A small minority report difficulty obtaining confirmation emails, making the online method preferable. Email cancellations typically succeed but require follow-up if no confirmation arrives within two business days. Postal cancellation is slowest but creates the strongest legal evidence. Across platforms, cancellations processed before the renewal date prevent additional charges. Subscribers consistently praise clarity once cancellation is confirmed, as no further contact or charges appear.
