How to cancel Bitesquad in malaysia and stop recurring charges
What Bitesquad is and why you might need to cancel
Bitesquad is an on-demand food delivery service that operates as an auto-renewing subscription platform, not a simple one-off ordering app. Understanding what you subscribed to is the first step toward cancelling it correctly and avoiding unwanted charges to your account.
Bitesquad subscription model in malaysia
Bitesquad operates as a recurring membership service with automatic renewal. The subscription is designed to give you ordering convenience, though the exact benefits package varies by region and plan type. The key legal issue here is that the service renews automatically unless you actively cancel it-this is governed by the subscription terms you agreed to when you signed up.
The service is typically billed on a monthly basis. In Malaysia, you will see charges in MYR (Malaysian Ringgit) on your bank statement, Apple account, or Google Play account, depending on where your payment method is registered. No annual plan variant has been verified, which means you are paying month-to-month rather than committing to a longer contract.
Where Bitesquad charges appear on your bill
Bitesquad billing arrives through one of three channels: direct account debit, Apple App Store subscription, or Google Play subscription. This matters because the cancellation method differs for each. If you subscribed through the app itself, your charge may appear as "Bitesquad" or a related merchant name on your bank statement. If you subscribed via Apple or Google, the charge may show as "Apple Inc." or "Google Play" instead.
Many Malaysian users get frustrated because they attempt to cancel in one place but the charge continues from another billing source. Before you cancel, you must identify which platform holds your subscription-this is your first action step.
Your consumer rights under malaysian law
Your right to cancel Bitesquad is protected under the Consumer Protection Act 1999, which governs distance contracts (purchases made online or over the phone) and subscription services in Malaysia. This law is your foundation for demanding a refund or stopping charges.
What the consumer protection act 1999 says about subscriptions
Under the Consumer Protection Act 1999, you have the right to cancel a distance contract (which includes online subscriptions like Bitesquad) within 14 calendar days of signing up, without giving a reason. This is called the cooling-off period. If Bitesquad fails to clearly disclose the auto-renewal terms before you subscribe, you may extend this period.
Furthermore, the Act requires that subscription services display cancellation terms clearly before you commit to a paid plan. If Bitesquad did not make the renewal date, cost, and cancellation method obvious, you have grounds to dispute any charges that came after the cooling-off period ended. Consequently, keeping screenshots of the terms you saw at sign-up is vital evidence if you need to escalate a billing dispute.
Your legal position on auto-renewal charges
Your legal position: You can demand cancellation and a refund of the current billing cycle if: (1) you cancelled within 14 days of first purchase, (2) Bitesquad did not clearly show the renewal date and cost before charging, or (3) you cancelled in writing or via the app and Bitesquad continued to charge you after your cancellation took effect. If Bitesquad refuses to honour your cancellation, you can escalate to the Ministry of Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs (MDTCA), which enforces the Consumer Protection Act 1999 in Malaysia.
Methods to cancel Bitesquad based on your billing source
Your cancellation route depends entirely on where your subscription is active. Use this guide to identify your billing source, then follow the correct steps.
How to identify your billing source
Open your bank statement or recent receipt and search for the most recent Bitesquad charge. Note the merchant name and date. If the charge shows "Bitesquad" or a variant spelling, you subscribed directly. If it shows "Apple Inc." or "iTunes," your subscription is tied to Apple. If it shows "Google Play," your subscription lives in the Google ecosystem. This single step saves you hours of frustration.
Write down the exact amount charged (in MYR) and the date of the last charge. Take a screenshot of your bank statement showing this transaction. This evidence will support you if you need to request a refund later.
Cancelling a direct Bitesquad subscription
If you subscribed directly through the Bitesquad app or website, you must contact Bitesquad support to cancel. The service does not publish a self-service cancellation portal for direct subscribers in Malaysia.
- Open the Bitesquad app on your phone or visit the app store listing where you downloaded it.
- Navigate to your account settings or subscription menu (look for "Settings," "Account," or "Billing").
- If a cancellation option appears, select it and follow the on-screen prompts to confirm.
- If no self-service cancellation is available, note the support email address or contact form within the app.
- Send an email to [email protected] with the subject line "Cancellation Request - [Your Email Address]."
- In your email, include: your full name, the email address linked to your Bitesquad account, the date of your last charge, and the exact amount charged. Request cancellation effective immediately and ask for written confirmation of the cancellation date.
- Send the email and retain a copy in your records. Response times vary, but Bitesquad support typically replies within 3-5 business days.
- Monitor your bank account for the next billing cycle (usually 30 days from your last charge) to confirm that no new charge arrives.
Cancelling through apple app store
If your Bitesquad charge appears as "Apple Inc." on your statement, your subscription is managed through your Apple ID and must be cancelled via the Apple App Store.
- On your iPhone or iPad, open the Settings app.
- Tap your name at the top of the screen, then select "Subscriptions."
- Look for Bitesquad in the list of active subscriptions (it may be listed under "Biteable" or "Bite Wisely").
- Tap the Bitesquad entry to open its details page.
- Select "Cancel Subscription" and confirm your choice when prompted.
- Apple will show you the cancellation date (usually the next renewal date) and confirmation that the subscription is now inactive.
- Take a screenshot of this confirmation page for your records.
- Your subscription will end on the displayed date, and no further charges will occur.
Note: If you are in mainland China or use a Chinese Apple ID, the cancellation process may differ. For non-standard situations, contact Apple Support directly via the Support app in Settings.
Cancelling through google play
If your Bitesquad charge shows as "Google Play" on your bank statement, your subscription is active through Google Play and must be cancelled there.
- Open the Google Play app on your Android phone or tablet.
- Tap your profile icon in the top-right corner.
- Select "Payments and subscriptions," then "Subscriptions."
- Find Bitesquad in the list of active subscriptions.
- Tap the subscription entry and select "Cancel subscription."
- Google will prompt you to confirm and may offer a retention incentive (discount or credit). You can decline this.
- Once you confirm cancellation, Google will display the final billing date and confirm that the subscription is no longer active.
- Screenshot this confirmation page.
- Your access to the paid service will end on the displayed date, and Google will not charge you again.
What happens after you cancel Bitesquad
Cancellation does not happen instantly. Once you submit your cancellation request, the service will honour it on the next scheduled renewal date, not immediately. Understanding this timeline prevents confusion and unwarranted concern.
Your access and charges after cancellation
After you cancel, you retain access to the Bitesquad app and service until your current billing cycle ends. For example, if your last charge occurred on 15 March and you cancel on 20 March, you keep access until 15 April. On 15 April, your access will terminate and no charge will appear on your next bank statement.
During the remaining access period, you can still place orders and use any benefits of the paid plan (such as waived delivery fees). Once the billing cycle ends, the app may restrict you to a free or basic tier, depending on Bitesquad's policy. Yafee recommends taking screenshots of your cancellation confirmation immediately, so you have proof if a charge appears after your service should have stopped.
Monitoring your bank account post-cancellation
Mark your expected final billing date on your calendar and check your bank statement on that date and for the following 7 days. If Bitesquad charges you again after your cancellation date, you have proof of the breach and can request an immediate refund.
If a rogue charge appears, take these steps: (1) note the date and amount, (2) contact your bank immediately to report the unauthorized charge, and (3) send a follow-up email to [email protected] citing your original cancellation request and the new charge, demanding a full refund within 7 days.
Refunds and charging disputes
Your right to a refund depends on when you cancel and whether Bitesquad clearly disclosed its terms. Yafee advises that the faster you move, the stronger your legal position.
Refunds within the 14-day cooling-off period
If you cancel Bitesquad within 14 calendar days of your first purchase, you are entitled to a full refund of the amount you paid, under the Consumer Protection Act 1999. This applies even if you have already used the service. Bitesquad must process this refund within 14 days of your cancellation request.
To claim this refund: (1) send a written cancellation email to [email protected], (2) clearly state "I am exercising my 14-day cooling-off right," (3) include your account email and the date of your first charge, and (4) request a refund to your original payment method. Keep a copy of your email and the date you sent it. If Bitesquad does not refund you within 14 days, escalate the dispute to your bank or credit card issuer.
Refunds after the 14-day period
After the 14-day cooling-off period, you generally cannot demand a refund simply for changing your mind. However, you can claim a refund for the current billing cycle if Bitesquad: (1) fails to cancel your subscription despite your written request, or (2) charged you after you cancelled. Yafee recommends keeping all cancellation confirmations because these become your evidence in a dispute.
If Bitesquad wrongfully charges you after cancellation, contact your bank or payment provider and file a chargeback claim, citing the unauthorized charge. Simultaneously, email Bitesquad demanding a refund within 7 days. If the company ignores your demand, you can escalate to the Ministry of Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs.
Bitesquad pricing and what you are paying for
Understanding your subscription cost helps you decide whether cancellation is the right move. Below is the verified pricing information for Bitesquad in Malaysia.
| Plan type |
Billing cycle |
Cost (MYR) |
Benefits |
| Bitesquad Unlimited (or standard plan) |
Monthly |
RM47 per month |
Waived or reduced delivery fees, priority ordering, account perks (exact benefits not verified in all regions) |
| Free trial (if offered) |
Usually 7-30 days |
RM0 (auto-converts to paid) |
Full plan access during trial period |
| Basic or free tier (after cancellation) |
Ongoing |
RM0 |
Standard delivery fees apply; no premium ordering perks |
At RM47 per month, Bitesquad costs approximately RM564 per year if you maintain an active subscription. For Malaysian users who order fewer than five times per month or do not receive regular delivery discounts, the cost may outweigh the benefit. Yafee's analysis suggests cancelling if you can save more by paying standard delivery fees on competitor platforms like GrabFood or Foodpanda.
Common mistakes that delay or block your cancellation
Cancellation is straightforward, but a few preventable mistakes trip up users and cause unnecessary delays. Here is what to avoid.
Cancelling in the wrong place
The most frequent error is cancelling in the Bitesquad app itself (by deleting it or clearing your account settings) while your subscription is actually managed by Apple or Google. Deleting the app does not cancel your subscription-you will still be charged. Similarly, contacting the merchant's general customer service instead of the subscription support address wastes time and prolongs your subscription.
Your fix: Before you cancel, identify your exact billing source (bank statement, Apple, or Google) and cancel through that channel only. Do not rely on the app's account deletion feature to stop charges.
Not noting your cancellation confirmation
Many users cancel but do not save proof of the cancellation. Weeks later, when a charge appears, they have no evidence of when they cancelled or what the confirmation said. This makes refund disputes harder to win.
Your fix: Screenshot or forward yourself a copy of every cancellation confirmation message. Include the exact date and cancellation reference number (if provided) in a note on your phone. This evidence is gold if you need to escalate to your bank or the Ministry of Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs.
Cancelling on the wrong date or too late
If your subscription renews on the 15th of each month and you cancel on the 16th, you have already been charged for the next month. Most services do not issue mid-cycle refunds. Always cancel before your renewal date, not after.
Your fix: Set a phone reminder for 2 days before your renewal date. If you are on a trial that ends in 24 hours, set your reminder for 25 hours before the trial end date to ensure you cancel in time.
Assuming the billing email came from Bitesquad support
Some users receive billing confirmations from Apple, Google, or their bank, not Bitesquad directly. They then try to cancel with the wrong company. Verify the merchant name on the charge (the column labeled "Merchant" or "Description" on your bank statement), not just the email header.
Your fix: Always check your bank or payment app's transaction details, not just the email notification. The merchant name in the transaction is your truth.
Checklist for a successful Bitesquad cancellation
Use this checklist to ensure you cancel correctly the first time. Tick off each step as you complete it.

- Save a copy of the subscription terms or cancellation policy (if available) for your records.
- Note the exact renewal date on your calendar and set a reminder for 2 days before.

- Monitor your bank account on and after the scheduled renewal date to confirm no charge appears.
- If an unauthorized charge appears after your cancellation date, contact your bank immediately and request a chargeback.
- If your bank declines the chargeback, escalate the dispute to the Ministry of Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs with copies of your cancellation proof.
When to keep your Bitesquad subscription versus when to cancel
Cancellation is not always the right choice. Use this comparison to decide whether you should keep paying or cancel.
| Reason to keep paying |
Reason to cancel |
| You order food five or more times per month and the delivery discount saves you more than RM47 monthly |

| Bitesquad offers restaurants and delivery coverage in your area that competitors do not |
Competitor apps (GrabFood, Foodpanda, Uber Eats) cover your area and offer better restaurant choice |
| You are within the 14-day cooling-off period and want to continue |
You are past the 14-day period and want to quit |
| Customer service has been responsive and you trust the company |
You have had billing disputes or poor customer support experiences |
Escalation and dispute resolution if Bitesquad does not comply
If Bitesquad ignores your cancellation request or refuses to refund a wrongful charge, you have formal remedies under Malaysian consumer law. Yafee recommends escalating in writing, not by phone call alone.
Step 1: document everything and send a formal demand
Email Bitesquad ([email protected]) with the subject line "Formal Demand for Cancellation and Refund." Include: (1) your account email address, (2) the date of your original cancellation request, (3) the date any wrongful charge appeared, (4) screenshots of your bank statement showing the charge, and (5) a deadline of 7 calendar days for Bitesquad to refund you or confirm cancellation. State clearly that you are invoking your rights under the Consumer Protection Act 1999.
Step 2: involve your bank or payment provider
If Bitesquad does not respond within 7 days, contact your bank or payment provider (Apple, Google, credit card issuer) and file a dispute or chargeback claim. Provide them with a copy of your formal demand email and your cancellation proof. Most banks will reverse the charge within 10-15 business days if you provide clear evidence.
Step 3: escalate to the ministry of domestic trade and consumer affairs
If your bank does not help or Bitesquad continues to charge you, file a formal complaint with the Ministry of Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs (MDTCA), which enforces the Consumer Protection Act 1999 in Malaysia. You can lodge a complaint online at mdtcc.gov.my or in person at any MDTCA office. Include copies of: your original subscription confirmation, your cancellation request, the MDTCA confirmation response (if you received one), and proof of the disputed charges.
The MDTCA has authority to compel refunds and can levy penalties against Bitesquad for breaching consumer rights. Response times are typically 30-60 days, but formal escalation often triggers prompt compliance from the company.
