How to cancel MyTime rewards in india: protect your wallet and stop recurring charges
Understanding MyTime rewards and why you might want to cancel
MyTime Rewards is a loyalty platform that partners with merchants across India to offer cashback, discounts, and membership benefits on bookings and purchases. You access the service through the MyTime website, merchant locations, or mobile apps on iOS and Android. The platform operates through recurring memberships managed by individual merchants, meaning your billing terms, refund policies, and cancellation options depend entirely on how each merchant has configured your membership.
If you've signed up and now want to exit, Yafee is here to walk you through every cancellation method available to you in India, including your consumer rights and how to protect yourself from hidden charges. Yafee specialises in helping consumers navigate cancellations and enforcing their legal rights under Indian consumer law.
Common reasons to cancel MyTime rewards
You might cancel because you've stopped using the merchant's services, you're unhappy with the value proposition, unexpected charges appeared on your card, or you simply prefer to manage your subscriptions differently. Whatever your reason, you have rights as an Indian consumer, and Yafee will help you understand and enforce them.
When cancellation becomes urgent
If you notice recurring charges without your clear consent, or if you've requested cancellation but still see debits, your situation requires immediate action. Consumer protection law in India gives you specific leverage here, and Yafee recommends you document and act within 14 days of identifying unauthorised charges.
Your consumer rights under indian law
As a consumer in India, you are protected by the Consumer Protection Act, 2019, which covers unfair contract terms, misleading billing practices, and the explicit right to cancel subscriptions with reasonable notice. This law is enforced by your District Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission and the National Consumer Helpline.
Under the Consumer Protection Act, 2019, merchants cannot impose cancellation fees without your express prior written consent, and they must make the cancellation process as simple as the sign-up process. If a merchant refuses to honour a valid cancellation request, you have the right to lodge a formal complaint with your state's consumer commission and seek compensation for unauthorised charges plus additional damages.
Key protections that help you cancel
The Consumer Protection Act, 2019 guarantees you the right to cancel a subscription within 30 days without penalty if you change your mind. Merchants must disclose all charges clearly before billing, provide a simple cancellation mechanism, and refund you within 30 days of a valid cancellation request. If the merchant violates these rules and you end up paying without authorisation, you can claim a full refund plus compensation for financial loss.
Yafee advises you to document every communication with the merchant or MyTime support in writing, as this evidence strengthens your case if you need to escalate to a consumer authority. Save email confirmations, screenshots of authorisation requests, and proof of charges.
Your legal position under consumer protection law
You hold a strong legal position if your cancellation request has been ignored or if charges continue after cancellation. The Consumer Protection Act, 2019 places the burden on the merchant to prove they had your valid, informed consent for each charge. Consequently, if you can demonstrate that you requested cancellation in writing (via email or registered post), the merchant must provide evidence that you authorised ongoing charges. If they cannot, you are entitled to a refund plus compensation for each unauthorised debit, typically ranging from ₹5,000 to ₹50,000 depending on the case complexity.
Where to escalate if the merchant refuses
If the merchant ignores your cancellation request, file a formal complaint with your District Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission (for claims under ₹1 crore). You can also report the issue to your state's Consumer Helpline or the National Consumer Helpline (1800-11-4000, toll-free). Yafee recommends documenting the refusal in writing and sending it via registered post or email with read receipt to create an irrefutable paper trail. Furthermore, if the merchant is a WebLoyalty entity operating from the United Kingdom, you may also escalate to the British regulators under the Distance Selling Regulations.
How to cancel MyTime rewards: step-by-step methods
You have four main paths to cancel your MyTime Rewards membership, and Yafee will guide you through each one with clear, actionable steps.
Method 1: cancel via the MyTime website (self-serve)
This is the fastest and most transparent way to cancel, as you control the entire process and receive immediate confirmation.
- Visit the MyTime website and sign in with your registered email and password.
- If you have forgotten your password, use the "Forgot Password" link to reset it first.
- If you cannot access your account, contact MyTime support immediately and request manual cancellation assistance.
- Navigate to your Account Settings, Memberships, or Subscriptions section in your profile dashboard.
- Look for a link or button labelled "Cancel Membership", "End Subscription", or "Remove Card".
- If you cannot locate this section, proceed to Method 2.
- Click on the cancellation option and follow the on-screen prompts.
- MyTime may ask for a reason for cancellation; provide one if prompted, but do not feel obligated to justify your decision.
- Review any final charges or refund information displayed before confirming.
- Confirm your cancellation request and save the confirmation page or email.
- Screenshot the confirmation with the date and time visible.
- If an email is sent, forward it to your own email account or save a copy for your records.
- Verify within 3-5 business days that no further charges appear on your card.
- Check your bank or credit card statement online.
- If a charge appears after cancellation, proceed immediately to Method 4 and escalate to consumer authorities.
Method 2: cancel via email to MyTime support
If the self-serve option is unavailable or you prefer written documentation, email cancellation creates a verifiable record that strengthens your legal position.
- Draft a clear, formal email to MyTime support.
- Compose the email as follows: "I hereby request immediate cancellation of my MyTime Rewards membership effective from today. My registered email is [your email]. My membership was activated on [date]. Please confirm cancellation in writing and confirm the date from which no further charges will be applied."
- Use a professional tone; avoid anger or vague language.
- Include your full name, registered email, phone number, and any membership ID if available.
- Send the email to the MyTime support email address (typically [email protected] or [email protected]).
- Use the email address registered on your MyTime account.
- Enable read receipt or request confirmation to prove delivery.
- Do not use "Reply All" if replying to a previous email; start a fresh email thread with a clear subject line: "Membership Cancellation Request".
- Wait for a response within 3-5 business days.
- MyTime support should confirm cancellation in writing, specifying the date from which charges will stop.
- If they do not respond within 5 business days, send a follow-up email with the subject line: "Follow-up: Membership Cancellation Request [Your Name]".
- Save and print all email correspondence.
- Create a folder in your email account for all MyTime-related communications.
- Print both your outgoing email and MyTime's response, or save PDFs for your records.
- Monitor your card for charges after the confirmed cancellation date.
- Check weekly for the first month to ensure no further debits occur.
- If charges continue, refer to Method 4 and escalate immediately.
Method 3: cancel via registered post (legal backup)
If the merchant is unresponsive or you require irrefutable proof of cancellation notice, registered post creates a legally binding record.
- Prepare a formal cancellation letter.
- Write or type a letter on plain paper with your name, address, and date at the top.
- Address the letter to "MyTime Rewards Customer Service" or "WebLoyalty Customer Service".
- State clearly: "I hereby formally request cancellation of my MyTime Rewards membership effective immediately. My registered email is [email]. My membership was activated on [date]. This letter serves as formal notice under the Consumer Protection Act, 2019. Please confirm cancellation within 7 days and confirm the date from which no further charges will be applied. Failure to honour this request will result in escalation to the District Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission."
- Sign and date the letter.
- Identify MyTime Rewards' registered postal address in India (or use the UK address if no Indian address is available).
- As of now, no verified Indian postal address for MyTime Rewards has been publicly listed. The registered address for WebLoyalty (the parent company) is: WebLoyalty Europe Limited, Unit 1-2, Southpoint Business Park, Ensign Way, Hampshire, GU14 7ST, United Kingdom.
- If an Indian address becomes available, use that as the primary destination.
- Send the letter via registered post with acknowledgement due.
- Visit your nearest India Post office and request "Registered Post with Acknowledgement Due" service.
- Ask for a certificate of posting and keep it safely.
- Request that the postal office provide a tracking number; retain this for your records.
- Track your registered post letter online.
- Use the tracking number to monitor delivery status on the India Post website (indiapost.gov.in).
- Once delivery is confirmed, take a screenshot or print the tracking status.
- Wait 10-14 days for a response after confirmed delivery.
- The merchant must respond within this period under consumer law principles.
- If no response arrives, you have evidence of non-compliance, which strengthens a complaint to the consumer commission.
Method 4: escalate to consumer authorities (if cancellation is refused)
If the merchant refuses to cancel or continues charging after your request, file a formal consumer complaint with the District Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission.
- Gather all evidence of your cancellation request and the merchant's refusal.
- Collect screenshots of sign-up terms, proof of charges, cancellation requests (emails or letters), merchant responses (or lack thereof), and proof that charges continued.
- Compile bank or credit card statements showing the timeline of charges.
- Create a timeline document showing dates of sign-up, cancellation requests, and continued charges.
- File a complaint with your District Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission.
- You can file online through the Centralized Public Grievance Redress and Monitoring System (CPGRAMS) or in person at your local District Commission office.
- The filing fee is ₹100 to ₹500 depending on the claim amount; fees are waived for low-income consumers.
- State the total amount you claim as refund and any compensation you seek (typically ₹5,000 to ₹50,000 for inconvenience).
- Submit your complaint within 2 years of the incident under the Consumer Protection Act, 2019.
- Provide all evidence as annexures to your complaint.
- Clearly identify the merchant and any parent company (such as WebLoyalty).
- Attend the hearing if required.
- The District Commission will issue a notice to the merchant, who must respond within 30 days.
- A hearing will then be scheduled; you may attend in person or submit a written statement.
- Receive the Commission's order, which is legally binding.
- The Commission will order the merchant to refund you and may award compensation for deficiency in service.
- If the merchant refuses to comply, you can escalate to the State Commission or National Commission.
Refund timelines and what to expect
Under the Consumer Protection Act, 2019, merchants must process refunds within 30 days of a valid cancellation request. In practice, refunds to bank accounts take an additional 5-7 business days after the merchant initiates the transaction.
If you cancel within 30 days of sign-up and have not used the service, you are entitled to a full refund without question. If you cancel after 30 days, the merchant may prorate a refund based on the period you used the service, but cannot retain more than 10% of the membership fee as a processing charge. Yafee advises you to track the refund status weekly and escalate to consumer authorities if no refund appears within 45 days of your cancellation request.

After you cancel MyTime rewards
Cancellation does not end once you receive a confirmation; monitoring your account and card is essential to protect yourself from unexpected reactivation or residual charges.
Steps to take immediately after cancellation
Within 24 hours of receiving cancellation confirmation, take these steps to prevent post-cancellation surprises.
- Remove your payment card from your MyTime account (if the account still exists).
- Log in to your MyTime account and delete the stored card details.
- Do not leave a card on file, as merchants may attempt to bill you for "renewal" or "reactivation".
- Check your bank or credit card account online.
- Review your transaction history for the past 3 months to spot any unusual or duplicate charges.
- Set up account alerts for charges above a specific amount (e.g., ₹500) so you are notified immediately.
- Contact your bank to flag the subscription as cancelled (optional but recommended).
- Call your bank's customer service and inform them that you have cancelled MyTime Rewards; request that they flag the merchant so any future authorisation requests are declined.
- This is not a guarantee, but it alerts the bank to monitor for fraud.
- Unsubscribe from MyTime marketing emails.
- Look for an "Unsubscribe" link in MyTime emails and click it.
- This prevents merchants from re-engaging you with promotional offers that might encourage re-subscription.
Monitor for unauthorised charges in the 30 days after cancellation
Even after cancellation, some merchants attempt to bill you one last time or reactivate memberships without consent. Stay vigilant during this critical window.
- Check your statement every 3-4 days for the first month.
- Do not wait for a monthly statement; log into your bank's app and review transactions in real time.
- If a charge appears, take screenshots immediately.
- If an unauthorised charge appears, contact your bank within 24 hours.
- Call your bank's customer service and report the charge as unauthorised.
- Request a reversal (chargeback) and a permanent ban on future transactions with MyTime Rewards.
- Ask the bank to send you a written confirmation of the chargeback request.
- If the bank reverses the charge, do nothing further (the issue is resolved).
- However, keep the reversal confirmation for your records.
- If the bank does not reverse the charge or offers no support, escalate to the consumer commission immediately.
- File a complaint naming both the merchant (MyTime Rewards) and the bank as defendants for allowing an unauthorised charge.
- Yafee will help you frame your complaint and evidence to maximise your chance of success.
Common mistakes to avoid during cancellation
Cancellation often feels straightforward, but small missteps can weaken your legal position if the merchant disputes your request. Be careful to avoid these pitfalls.
Mistake 1: cancelling only through the app, without a written record
If you cancel solely through the MyTime app without saving proof, you have no verifiable record to show the merchant honoured your request. Always follow up with a written email or registered post confirming what you did in the app.
Mistake 2: assuming a missing charge is the same as successful cancellation
A missed payment does not equal cancellation. The merchant may simply be experiencing a temporary technical issue or may retry the charge in a few days. Always obtain explicit written confirmation of cancellation, not just the absence of a charge.
Mistake 3: failing to document the merchant's response (or lack of it)
If the merchant does not respond to your cancellation email within 5 business days, that silence is itself evidence of breach. Save the timestamps of your sent emails and any automated acknowledgements. Yafee advises keeping a log file with dates, times, and subjects of all communications.
Mistake 4: assuming the refund will arrive in your account immediately
Refunds take 30-45 days in most cases. If you do not receive a refund within 45 days of a valid cancellation request, file a formal complaint with the consumer commission rather than waiting longer.
Mistake 5: not escalating quickly if charges continue after cancellation
If a charge appears after you receive cancellation confirmation, escalate to the consumer commission within 14 days. The longer you wait, the harder it becomes to prove the charge was unauthorised, and you may lose your claim.

Keep or cancel: decision checklist
Before you decide to cancel, use this checklist to confirm whether cancellation is the right choice for your situation.
- Calculate your annual spend with MyTime partners and compare it to the total membership fees paid in the last 12 months. If membership fees exceed 20% of your spend, cancellation will save money. If less, the membership may be delivering value.
- Review the past 6 months of charges on your card and confirm they match the agreed membership fees. If unexpected charges appear, cancellation is justified.
- Check whether the merchant's terms allow you to pause or downgrade your membership before cancelling. Downgrading may preserve some value while reducing costs.
- Verify that no outstanding credits or cashback balances are held in your MyTime account. If credits exist, request they be refunded or applied before cancellation.
- Confirm you do not have any active bookings or reservations pending with MyTime merchants. Cancellation may forfeit these.
- If you are cancelling due to a specific complaint (e.g., poor service, unexpected charges), document this in writing. This evidence supports a consumer commission complaint if needed later.
- Decide whether you want a full refund or would accept a reduced refund in exchange for faster cancellation. Some merchants offer instant cancellation with a small retention fee.
If self-service or email cancellation fails, contact MyTime directly through the following channels to request manual cancellation assistance.
Primary contact methods for MyTime rewards
MyTime Rewards operates through merchant partnerships, but you can reach their centralised support team through these channels.
- Email: [email protected] or [email protected] (standard response time: 3-5 business days)
- Phone: Check your MyTime account or receipt for the merchant-specific support number. If unavailable, visit the MyTime website for a general customer service number.
- Website contact form: Visit mytime.com, scroll to the footer, and complete the "Contact Us" form. Include your membership ID and clear cancellation request.
- Social media: Message MyTime on Instagram or Facebook if email and phone support are unresponsive. Public complaints often receive faster replies.
If MyTime support is unresponsive, escalate to regulatory authorities
If MyTime support does not respond within 5 business days, escalate immediately to consumer protection authorities rather than waiting further.
- District Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission: File a formal complaint in your district. Use the CPGRAMS portal (cpgrams.gov.in) for online filing.
- National Consumer Helpline: Call 1800-11-4000 (toll-free) Monday to Saturday, 10 AM to 6 PM IST. The helpline will provide guidance and can assist in negotiating with the merchant.
- Reserve Bank of India (RBI) - Banking Ombudsman: If charges are made through a bank or card payment and the bank is unresponsive, file a complaint with the RBI Ombudsman at rbibankingombudsman.in.
- RBI Payment Systems Ombudsman: If the charge was made via UPI, mobile wallet, or other digital payment, file a complaint at rbi.org.in/ombudsman.
MyTime rewards registered address (UK headquarters)
If email and phone escalation fail, send a formal cancellation letter via registered post to MyTime's registered address. As no verified Indian postal address currently exists, use the UK address listed below. This creates a legal record of notice delivery.
WebLoyalty Europe Limited (MyTime Rewards parent company)
Unit 1-2, Southpoint Business Park
Ensign Way
Farnborough, Hampshire GU14 7ST
United Kingdom
When sending to this address, include a cover letter in English stating your membership ID, registered email, and cancellation request. Use registered post with acknowledgement due and track the delivery. Although the address is in the UK, the merchant is still legally obligated to honour valid cancellation requests from Indian consumers under the Consumer Protection Act, 2019 and applicable e-commerce regulations.
