How to cancel your Myprotein subscription in ireland without losing money

Why Myprotein subscriptions matter and when cancellation becomes urgent

Myprotein is a leading sports nutrition retailer serving Irish customers with protein powders, vitamins, performance supplements, and activewear. The subscription model offers genuine appeal: automatic restocking of bestsellers like Impact Whey Protein, Clear Whey, and Impact Creatine arrives at your door on schedule, bundled with discounted pricing and free delivery thresholds. For regular users, this convenience saves money and eliminates repeat purchasing decisions.

Nevertheless, circumstances change. You may have switched brands, reached your fitness goal, stockpiled too much inventory, or simply decided the cost no longer fits your budget. Once your needs shift, that recurring €20-€50 charge can become unwanted. At Yafee, we recognise that cancelling a subscription cleanly-without confusion, delays, or surprise charges-matters enormously to Irish consumers. This guide walks you through every step of the cancellation process, grounded in your legal rights under Irish consumer law.

Common Myprotein subscription products and typical pricing in ireland

Understanding what you are paying for helps you decide whether cancellation is the right move. Below are representative products typically available on Irish subscription plans:

Always check the current Myprotein Ireland website for up-to-date pricing, as promotional offers change regularly. These figures are illustrative only.

Signs you should cancel your subscription

You should cancel if any of the following applies: you no longer use the products regularly; you have built up enough inventory to last several months; the monthly or quarterly charge no longer aligns with your budget; you prefer to buy one-off rather than commit to recurring deliveries; or you have found a competitor offering better value. There is no penalty for changing your mind. Irish consumer law actively supports your right to cancel at any time.

Your consumer rights under irish law

Irish consumers enjoy strong statutory protections when cancelling subscriptions, grounded in the Consumer Rights Act 2022 and the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013.

The consumer rights act 2022 and your cancellation rights

The Consumer Rights Act 2022 mandates that businesses must make cancellation as easy and cost-free as the original subscription process. You have an absolute right to cancel a subscription at any time without providing a reason. Myprotein cannot require you to give notice periods longer than one billing cycle, and they cannot impose hidden fees for cancellation itself.

Furthermore, if you purchased your subscription online (which you almost certainly did), you benefit from a 14-day cooling-off period. Within 14 days of purchase, you can withdraw from the contract entirely without reason and without cost. After 14 days, you retain the right to cancel at any time, though Myprotein may levy a reasonable charge for services already delivered.

In practice, however, most subscription cancellations after the cooling-off period incur no charge-Myprotein simply stops future payments and allows your current subscription to expire naturally.

Your legal position

You have the right to cancel your Myprotein subscription immediately, with effect from the next billing date or the end of your current subscription term, whichever comes first. Myprotein must acknowledge your cancellation request within 24 hours and confirm the cancellation in writing (email counts). If Myprotein continues to charge you after you have requested cancellation, you can dispute the charge with your bank or credit card provider under consumer protection rules, and you can escalate a complaint to the Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (CCPC) if Myprotein refuses to comply. The CCPC enforces consumer rights in Ireland and has power to investigate and fine non-compliant traders.

How to cancel your Myprotein subscription step by step

Myprotein provides multiple cancellation routes. Choose the method that suits you best; all are equally valid under Irish law.

Step 1: cancel through your Myprotein account online

The easiest route is to manage your subscription directly via your online account. Follow these steps:

1. Visit the Myprotein website (myprotein.com or the Ireland-specific store).
2. Log in to your account using your email and password.
   • If you cannot remember your password, select "Forgotten password?" on the login page and follow the reset instructions sent to your email.
3. Navigate to "My Account" or "Account Settings" (usually found in the top-right corner or within a hamburger menu).
4. Look for a section titled "Subscriptions," "My Subscriptions," "Recurring Orders," or "Auto-Delivery."
5. Select the subscription you wish to cancel.
   • If you have multiple subscriptions, you can cancel one, some, or all of them.
6. Click the "Cancel subscription" or "Stop auto-delivery" button.
7. Myprotein may ask you to confirm the cancellation or answer a brief feedback question about why you are cancelling. Answer honestly or skip if optional.
8. A confirmation screen will appear. Take a screenshot or note the cancellation reference number if provided.
9. Check your email for a cancellation confirmation from Myprotein within 24 hours. Keep this email as proof.

Step 2: cancel via Myprotein customer services contact form

If the online route is unclear or unavailable, contact Myprotein directly through their website:

1. Go to the Myprotein website and scroll to the footer.
2. Select "Contact Us" or "Help" and choose the contact form option.
3. Fill in your full name, email address, and order or account number (if you have it).
4. In the subject line, write: "Subscription cancellation request."
5. In the message body, write:
   • "I wish to cancel my Myprotein subscription effective immediately. Please confirm cancellation and stop all future charges to my account. I require written confirmation of this request."
6. Submit the form.
7. Myprotein aims to respond within 24 hours. Check your email (including spam folder) for their reply and cancellation confirmation.

Step 3: cancel via live chat if available

Myprotein occasionally offers live chat support on their website. If the chat icon appears:

1. Click the live chat button, usually found in the bottom-right corner.
2. Type your message: "I want to cancel my subscription. Can you help?"
3. Provide your email and account details when asked.
4. The agent will locate your subscription and process the cancellation.
5. Ask the agent to send you a confirmation email and provide a cancellation reference number.
6. Once the chat ends, immediately forward the chat transcript to your own email or take a screenshot for your records.

Step 4: cancel by phone if other methods fail

If online and email options prove unresponsive, contact Myprotein by telephone:

1. Look up Myprotein's customer service phone number on their website or order confirmation email.
2. Call during business hours and select the customer service option.
3. Inform the agent: "I wish to cancel my Myprotein subscription."
4. Provide your full name, email, and account number or a recent order number.
5. Ask the agent to confirm cancellation and provide a reference number.
6. Request that they send you a cancellation confirmation email immediately.
7. Keep a note of the date, time, and agent's name for your records.

What happens to your current subscription after you cancel

Understanding the timing of cancellation prevents confusion and surprise charges.

Cancellation takes effect at the end of your current billing cycle

When you cancel, Myprotein will not refund the current subscription period. Instead, they will stop automatic renewals effective at the end of your current cycle (usually 1 month or 3 months from the cancellation date, depending on your plan). Your next shipment will not be charged, and no further payments will be taken from your account after that billing cycle ends.

For example, if you cancel on 15 March and your subscription renews on 1 April, your cancellation takes effect on 1 April. You will receive no further shipments or charges after that date.

Check your bank statement after cancellation

After cancelling, monitor your bank or credit card statement for the next 30-40 days. Look for any charge from Myprotein. If you are charged after the cancellation date has passed, this is an error. Take action immediately:

1. Contact Myprotein customer services with your cancellation confirmation email and the rogue charge details.
2. Request an immediate refund.
3. If Myprotein does not refund within 7 days, contact your bank and dispute the charge as unauthorised.
4. Your bank will investigate and typically reverse the charge within 10 business days.

Refunds and what to expect after cancellation

Refund entitlements depend on when you cancel and whether the current billing cycle has already been charged.

If you cancel within 14 days of purchase

You are entitled to a full refund of all charges paid to date, with no deductions. Myprotein must process this refund within 14 days of your cancellation request. The refund will be returned to your original payment method (credit card, debit card, or PayPal account). Check your bank statement 7-14 days after cancellation; the refund should appear automatically.

If you cancel after 14 days

Myprotein will not refund charges already paid for the current subscription cycle. However, they will stop all future charges and allow your current subscription to expire naturally. No additional refund is due. This is legally compliant because you have received the goods or services for that billing period.

Disputed refunds and escalation

If Myprotein refuses to refund you within 14 days of your cancellation request (when you are legally entitled to one), or if you are charged after cancellation:

1. Send a formal complaint email to Myprotein's complaints department, referencing your cancellation confirmation and the Consumer Rights Act 2022.
2. State: "I am entitled to a refund under the Consumer Rights Act 2022, Section [relevant]. Please process this refund within 7 days."
3. If Myprotein does not respond within 14 days, escalate to the Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (CCPC).
4. File a complaint online at ccpc.ie or call 01 402 5555.
5. Provide the CCPC with copies of your cancellation request, Myprotein's response (or lack thereof), and bank statements showing the charge.
6. The CCPC will investigate and can force Myprotein to refund you, plus compensation if appropriate.

Common cancellation mistakes and how to avoid them

Cancellation is straightforward, but a few pitfalls can delay the process or leave you exposed. Stay alert and you will avoid all of them.

Mistake 1: assuming your subscription is cancelled without written confirmation

Never assume. Always wait for written confirmation (email) from Myprotein before considering the cancellation complete. If you cancel online and receive no email within 24 hours, follow up with customer services immediately. Written proof protects you if a rogue charge later appears on your account.

Mistake 2: cancelling during a promotional offer period

Some Myprotein subscriptions come with time-limited discounts (e.g., "50% off first 3 months"). Cancelling during the promotional period may forfeit the discount but does not prevent cancellation. You are not locked in. Proceed with cancellation if you wish to stop, and Myprotein must honour it.

Mistake 3: forgetting to cancel before a large refund deadline

Your 14-day cooling-off period runs from the date of purchase, not from the date of first delivery. If you receive your first shipment on day 10 but do not cancel until day 20, you have missed the cooling-off window. Cancel early if you are unsure about the subscription.

Mistake 4: confusing "pause" with "cancel"

Some subscription services offer a "pause" option distinct from cancellation. Pausing temporarily stops shipments but keeps your subscription active and may resume charging after a set period. If you want to end the subscription permanently, select "cancel," not "pause."

After your cancellation is confirmed

Once Myprotein has acknowledged your cancellation, your obligation ends-but stay vigilant for a short period to ensure no further charges occur.

Final checklist after cancellation

• Retain your cancellation confirmation email indefinitely (archive it).
• Monitor your bank statement for the next 60 days for any Myprotein charges.
• If you ordered physical goods before cancellation (e.g., a pre-ordered shipment), clarify with Myprotein whether it will arrive. Cancellation stops future recurring charges, but goods already dispatched may still be delivered.
• If you received a confirmation email with a reference number, note this number for your records.
• Consider deleting your saved payment method from the Myprotein website if you do not plan to use the service again.

What to do if Myprotein charges you after cancellation

If an unexpected Myprotein charge appears on your statement after the cancellation date has passed:

1. Contact Myprotein immediately with your cancellation confirmation and the disputed charge details.
2. Request a refund in writing (email).
3. Give Myprotein 7 days to respond and process the refund.
4. If they refuse or do not respond, dispute the charge with your bank as unauthorised.
5. Your bank will typically reverse the charge within 10 business days and may investigate on your behalf.
6. If the issue escalates, file a complaint with the CCPC citing the Consumer Rights Act 2022.
