How to cancel your Cricut subscription and reclaim control of your crafting budget
Why you might want to cancel your Cricut subscription
Cricut subscriptions unlock thousands of designs, fonts, and projects through Design Space, but the recurring cost can strain your budget quickly. If monthly or annual fees no longer align with your crafting frequency or financial situation, you have clear legal pathways to exit without obstacles.
Your reasons for cancellation are valid-whether you've completed your projects, found free alternatives, or need to reduce spending. UK consumer law gives you strong protections to cancel subscriptions without unnecessary barriers or hidden fees. Yafee has guided hundreds of UK consumers through this process, and this guide walks you through every step with precision and clarity.
Common reasons people cancel Cricut access
You might reconsider your subscription for several practical reasons. Perhaps you subscribed for a single project and now find yourself using premium features infrequently. Others discover that free design platforms deliver comparable results. Many customers realise that annual costs between £79.99 and £95.99 no longer justify the value they receive relative to their actual usage.
Subscription companies often bury cancellation options behind confusing interfaces or multi-step screens deliberately designed to discourage you. Yafee exists to eliminate this friction and provide you with straightforward, actionable steps to cancel on your terms.
Understanding your Cricut subscription tier
Cricut offers two primary subscription levels: Standard (£7.99 monthly or £79.99 annually) and Premium (£9.99 monthly or £95.99 annually). Premium includes expanded design libraries, priority support, and member discounts. Before you cancel, log into your account or review your last billing statement to confirm your plan tier. This information matters because it affects your eligibility for partial or full refunds.
Your legal position as a UK consumer
Consumer law in the United Kingdom provides you with robust protections when cancelling subscriptions, and understanding these rights empowers you to act decisively.
The consumer contracts regulations 2013
If you subscribed to Cricut online-which you did-the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 grant you a statutory 14-day cooling-off period. This means you can cancel within 14 calendar days of your purchase without stating a reason, and Cricut must process a full refund. Critically, you remain protected even if you have actively used the service during this window.
This is a legal entitlement, not a discretionary favour. If Cricut refuses your cancellation request within the 14-day window, you can escalate to the Citizens Advice Consumer Service or your local Trading Standards office. Yafee recommends retaining all documentation-confirmation emails, payment receipts, and cancellation requests-to support your position.
The consumer rights act 2015
Beyond the 14-day cooling-off period, the Consumer Rights Act 2015 continues to protect you. Subscription providers must communicate cancellation terms transparently before you authorise payment. If Cricut's cancellation process is deliberately obscured, unnecessarily complex, or not clearly disclosed at purchase, you have grounds to dispute charges or demand a refund.
Additionally, if the service fails to perform as described-for example, if you cannot access the promised design library or experience persistent technical faults-you can claim a refund under consumer rights legislation. Yafee has assisted many consumers through this route, and the process is often more straightforward than expected.
Escalation contacts if Cricut resists
If Cricut refuses your cancellation or disputes a refund, formal channels exist. The Citizens Advice Consumer Service and your local authority's Trading Standards team investigate breaches of consumer law and apply enforcement pressure when necessary. Additionally, you can lodge a complaint with your payment provider (your bank or card issuer) to reverse charges if Cricut acts unlawfully.
How to cancel your Cricut subscription
The cancellation process varies depending on whether you manage your account via the Cricut website, mobile app, or choose written notification. Follow these step-by-step procedures to ensure your cancellation is processed correctly.
Cancelling through the Cricut website
- Log into your Cricut account using your email address and password at cricut.com.
- If you cannot remember your password, use the "Forgot password?" link to reset it.
- Navigate to your account settings by clicking your profile icon in the top right corner.
- Select "Account" or "My Account" from the dropdown menu.
- Locate the "Subscription" or "Membership" section within account settings.
- This section displays your current plan, renewal date, and billing information.
- Select "Manage Subscription" or "Cancel Subscription."
- Cricut may display a confirmation warning or retention offer at this stage-read it but proceed if cancellation is your intention.
- Follow the on-screen prompts to confirm your cancellation.
- Cricut may ask you to select a reason for cancellation (this is optional, but stating your reason can help the company improve).
- Confirm the effective date of your cancellation-this is typically immediate or at the end of your current billing cycle.
- Take a screenshot of the confirmation page as evidence of your request.
- Check your email inbox for a cancellation confirmation email from Cricut within 24 hours.
- If you do not receive confirmation, contact Cricut support to verify your request was processed.
Cancelling through the Cricut mobile app
- Open the Cricut app on your iOS or Android device and sign in with your credentials.
- Tap the menu icon (three horizontal lines) in the bottom right corner.
- Select "Account" or "Settings."
- Tap "Subscription" or "Membership."
- Select "Manage Subscription" or "Cancel Subscription."
- The app interface mirrors the website process-confirm your intention when prompted.
- Take a screenshot of the confirmation screen for your records.
- Verify your cancellation by checking your email for Cricut's confirmation within 24 hours.
Cancelling by post (written notice method)
If you prefer written cancellation or encounter technical issues with online methods, send a formal letter to Cricut's UK address. This creates a documented audit trail and is particularly valuable if you later need to escalate a dispute.
- Prepare a letter that includes the following information:
- Your full name and registered email address.
- Your Cricut account ID or username.
- Your request to cancel your subscription effective immediately or at the end of your current billing cycle.
- Today's date.
- Your signature (or typed name if posting electronically).
- Send your letter to Cricut's registered UK address:
- Cricut Inc., 3 Westferry Circus, Canary Wharf, London, E14 4HD, United Kingdom
- Use Royal Mail Special Delivery Guaranteed by 1pm to track your letter and obtain proof of delivery.
- This costs approximately £8.95 and provides evidence that Cricut received your request.
- Retain your receipt and the tracking barcode in case you need to prove you submitted your cancellation request.
- Allow 5-7 working days for Cricut to process your written cancellation and respond by email.

Refunds and what to expect after cancellation
Your refund eligibility depends on when you cancel and the legal framework that applies to your situation.
If you cancel within 14 days
You are entitled to a full refund under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013. Cricut must process this within 14 days of receiving your cancellation request. The refund will be credited to your original payment method-bank account or credit card-and may take an additional 5-10 working days to appear depending on your bank.
If you cancel after 14 days
You are no longer automatically entitled to a refund. However, you retain the right to cancel your subscription prospectively-meaning you end automatic renewals and cease paying future fees. Cricut will not refund past usage, but you will not be charged for the next billing cycle.
Troubleshooting refund delays
If you do not receive your refund within 14 days of cancelling within the cooling-off period, contact Cricut support immediately with your cancellation confirmation email. If Cricut does not respond within 7 days or refuses your refund claim, escalate to your payment provider or the Citizens Advice Consumer Service. Yafee recommends documenting every communication-save emails, screenshots, and support ticket numbers.
What happens to your designs and account after cancellation
Cancellation does not permanently delete your account or designs; you retain important access even after your subscription ends.
Your Cricut account remains active indefinitely. You can still log in, access your saved projects, and download designs you created during your subscription period. However, you will no longer be able to browse or download new designs from Cricut's premium libraries-you revert to the free design tier with limited content access.
If you resubscribe in the future, your account history, projects, and saved designs remain intact. Some users cancel temporarily during periods of low crafting activity and return later without losing any data.
Common mistakes to avoid when cancelling
Cancellation is straightforward, but several avoidable errors can complicate your process-stay alert to these traps so you retain full control over your exit.
Not taking screenshots of confirmation
Always screenshot your cancellation confirmation page and save the confirmation email Cricut sends. If Cricut later claims you did not cancel or attempts to charge you again, these images are your evidence. Yafee strongly recommends storing these files in a dedicated folder on your device or cloud storage.
Confusing cancellation with account deletion
Cancelling your subscription does not delete your account. If you want to permanently remove all personal data, you must request account deletion separately. Use your account settings or contact support explicitly requesting GDPR data deletion if that is your intention.
Missing the 14-day cooling-off window
If you want a refund, cancel within 14 days of purchase. After this window closes, you can still cancel future charges, but you forfeit automatic refund rights. Mark your calendar the moment you subscribe so you do not accidentally miss this deadline.
Ignoring cancellation confirmation emails
Check your email-including spam and promotions folders-for Cricut's confirmation within 24 hours of submitting your cancellation request. If you do not receive it, contact support immediately to confirm your request was processed. Do not assume cancellation happened unless you have written proof.
When to cancel versus when to keep your subscription
Deciding whether cancellation serves your interests requires honest assessment of your usage and financial situation.
| Cancel your subscription if: |
Keep your subscription if: |
| You subscribed within the last 14 days and want a full refund. |
You actively use Design Space weekly and complete regular projects. |
| You have completed your intended projects and no longer need premium designs. |
The annual cost fits comfortably within your craft budget. |
| Free design platforms meet your creative needs equally well. |
Premium features and priority support justify the ongoing cost for you. |
| Financial constraints require you to reduce discretionary spending. |
You plan regular projects and use premium designs and fonts consistently. |
| You experience persistent technical faults or poor customer service. |
Member discounts on physical Cricut machines and materials offset subscription fees. |
Escalation steps if Cricut refuses your cancellation
If Cricut resists your cancellation request or denies a refund you are entitled to, formal enforcement mechanisms exist to compel compliance.
Step one: document and request written explanation
Send a formal email to Cricut support requesting written explanation for the refusal. Reference the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 or Consumer Rights Act 2015 depending on your cancellation date. Request a response within 7 days. Save this email and Cricut's reply as evidence.
Step two: contact your payment provider
If Cricut continues charging you after cancellation, notify your bank or credit card company immediately. Request a chargeback or reversal, citing that you cancelled your subscription within your legal rights. Most providers investigate such claims within 30 days and typically side with consumers when the evidence is clear.
Step three: escalate to trading standards
Contact your local authority's Trading Standards office-this is the enforcement body responsible for consumer protection law across the UK. File a formal complaint citing the specific regulation Cricut violated (Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 or Consumer Rights Act 2015). Trading Standards can issue enforcement notices and apply pressure that motivates Cricut to resolve your case.
Step four: citizens advice consumer service
The Citizens Advice Consumer Service (previously Citizens Advice Consumer Complaints Service) handles disputes between consumers and businesses when companies refuse to comply with consumer law. You can file a complaint online at citizensadvice.org.uk. The service liaises with companies on your behalf and escalates unresolved cases to Trading Standards.
Yafee has seen this escalation route resolve disputes in which companies initially refused reasonable cancellation requests. The process typically takes 8-12 weeks but has a high success rate.
