How to cancel Blooom and stop recurring charges in malaysia
What Blooom is and why you may want to cancel
Blooom is a subscription-based membership service that offers ad removal and app-based features, primarily marketed to users seeking lightweight digital membership benefits. The service charges a recurring monthly fee of approximately RM24 (USD $5.00) for its Blooom Supporter plan. Understanding what you signed up for is the first step toward cancelling without confusion or unexpected charges.
The service Blooom offers
Blooom operates as a digital membership platform accessible through web and mobile app interfaces. The verified service offering centres on ad-free browsing within the Blooom app ecosystem, marketed as a "Supporter" tier. Unlike investment advisory services or retirement account management tools, this particular subscription focuses on removing advertisements and improving user experience within the platform itself.
For Malaysian users, clarity matters. Your bank statement may show a charge from "Blooom" or "blooombrand.com". The company maintains official support channels at [email protected] and a 24/7 live chat line, though these are managed outside Malaysia. No verified Malaysian physical address, local payment gateway integration (such as FPX or DuitNow), or Bahasa Malaysia support has been confirmed in available sources.
Why malaysian users cancel Blooom
Consumers typically cancel for three reasons: they forget the subscription exists after the free trial or initial appeal fades; they find the ad-removal feature unnecessary; or they want to consolidate digital spending. The monthly charge of RM24, while modest, adds up quickly if left unchecked. Additionally, some users discover they signed up unintentionally during a promotional offer or app installation process.
Your legal rights as a malaysian consumer
Your right to cancel Blooom rests on Malaysian consumer protection law. Here is the legal framework that protects you.
Consumer protection act 1999 and distance selling
The Consumer Protection Act 1999 (Act 599) governs all subscription cancellations in Malaysia. Under Section 11, you have the right to cancel any distance contract (a contract made online or by phone) within fourteen (14) calendar days of purchase without penalty, provided you have not used the service beyond reasonable inspection. This is your statutory cooling-off period.
Consequently, if you purchased your Blooom subscription fewer than 14 days ago, you may cancel and request a full refund regardless of the company's stated policy. If more than 14 days have passed, you remain entitled to cancel at any time, but no refund is guaranteed unless the company's terms of service explicitly offer one (or unless Blooom has breached its contractual obligations).
Your position under the act
Your legal position: You have the statutory right to cancel without penalty within 14 days of purchase (distance selling). After 14 days, you may still cancel with notice; however, refunds depend on the company's terms. If Blooom fails to acknowledge your cancellation request or continues billing you after your cancellation date, you may lodge a complaint with the Ministry of Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs (KPDN) or escalate to the Tribunal for Consumer Claims Malaysia, which handles disputes up to RM25,000.
How to cancel Blooom step by step
Cancellation requires three stages: preparing your evidence, submitting your cancellation request, and confirming the outcome. Yafee has helped thousands of consumers navigate this exact process without losing money to repeated charges.
Stage one: gather your account information
Before you submit any cancellation request, collect and save the following documents:
- Your Blooom account email address and username
- Your next billing date (from your account dashboard or bank statement)
- The amount of your last charge (RM24 or equivalent)
- Screenshots of your subscription plan name and status
- Your payment method (credit card last four digits, or e-wallet reference)
- The date you originally signed up
- Any promotional code or free trial information you received
Store these documents in a folder on your phone or computer. You will need them if Blooom disputes your cancellation or continues billing you after your requested cancellation date. This paper trail is essential under the Consumer Protection Act 1999.
Stage two: locate and submit your cancellation request
Blooom does not publish a confirmed self-service cancellation button in verified public sources. Consequently, you must use one of these two methods:
-
Via account website:
- Visit Blooom.ca or your account login page
- Sign in with your email and password
- Navigate to Settings or Account Management
- Look for "Subscription", "Membership", or "Billing" tabs
- Select "Cancel Subscription" or "End Membership"
- Confirm the cancellation date (ensure it is before your next billing date)
- Screenshot the confirmation page immediately
-
Via email support:
- Send an email to [email protected]
- Use the subject line: "Cancellation Request for [Your Email Address]"
- Include in the body: your full name, account email, next billing date, and this phrase: "I request immediate cancellation of my Blooom subscription effective [date], as permitted under the Consumer Protection Act 1999 of Malaysia. Please confirm cancellation in writing."
- Send from the same email address linked to your Blooom account
- Request a written confirmation of cancellation
- Save the entire email thread (sent and received) as PDF
The email method is stronger legally because it creates a timestamped record. Yafee recommends sending via email and waiting for written confirmation before relying on the cancellation.
Stage three: confirm cancellation before the next billing date
After you submit your cancellation, monitor your account for up to 5 business days. Verify the following:
- Log back into your Blooom account and check that your subscription status shows "Cancelled" or "Inactive"
- Confirm that the app access has been revoked or flagged as non-subscriber
- Check your bank or credit card statement 7 days after your next scheduled billing date to ensure no charge appears
- If a charge appears after your cancellation request, contact your bank immediately and dispute it as "unauthorized charge" or "service not rendered"
- Forward your cancellation confirmation email and bank statement to KPDN's consumer complaint portal if Blooom refuses to refund the erroneous charge
If Blooom does not acknowledge your cancellation
Should Blooom fail to respond to your cancellation request within 7 days, or should the company deny your request without valid reason, you have formal escalation routes:
-
Lodge a complaint with KPDN:
- Visit the Ministry of Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs (KPDN) complaint portal at kpdn.gov.my
- File a "Consumer Complaint" with your account details, cancellation request evidence, and statement of loss
- Provide copies of all emails, screenshots, and bank statements
- KPDN will investigate and may issue a compliance order to Blooom
-
Apply to the Tribunal for Consumer Claims:
- If the disputed amount exceeds RM 100 but does not exceed RM 25,000, file a claim at your nearest Tribunal for Consumer Claims Malaysia office
- Bring your cancellation correspondence, billing evidence, and proof of payment
- The Tribunal will issue a binding decision and may order refund plus compensation
Refund policy and what you can expect
Blooom's stated refund terms are not clearly published in verified sources, which means you must refer to the statutory 14-day cooling-off period under the Consumer Protection Act 1999.

What happens after you cancel
Cancellation takes effect on your next billing date unless you request immediate termination. Here is what unfolds.
Immediate consequences of cancellation
Once your cancellation is confirmed, you will lose the following features:
- Ad-free experience within the Blooom app (ads will reappear)
- Any paid features or premium content tied to the Supporter tier
- Priority support (if included in your plan)
You will retain access to your account data and history until 90 days after cancellation in most cases, though this varies by company policy. Save any important information (account statements, settings, or personal notes) before your cancellation takes effect.
Your account after cancellation
Your Blooom account will downgrade to the Free plan automatically. You may log in and use the free features indefinitely unless you delete your account. If you want to delete your account entirely (not just cancel the subscription), contact [email protected] with the subject "Account Deletion Request" and provide your email address. Account deletion is permanent.
Common mistakes to avoid when cancelling
Cancellation is straightforward if you avoid these pitfalls. Most failed cancellations result from missing a step or ignoring a confirmation detail.
Mistake one: cancelling without noting the next billing date
If you do not know when you will be charged next, you cannot confirm whether your cancellation took effect on time. Always screenshot your account before cancelling and note the date Blooom expects your next payment. If you cancel on the 15th but are billed on the 20th, the company may argue the cancellation occurred too late in the cycle.
Mistake two: assuming cancellation is complete without confirmation
Blooom does not always send automatic confirmation emails. Do not assume silence means success. Log back into your account 24 hours after cancelling and verify the status shows "Inactive" or "Cancelled". If it still shows "Active" or "Subscriber", resubmit your cancellation request immediately.
Mistake three: cancelling through the wrong channel
If you signed up via the Blooom app, do not assume web browser cancellation will work. Similarly, if you signed up on the website, app-based cancellation may not sync properly. Use the same channel you used to sign up, or use email as your primary method to avoid this confusion.
Mistake four: ignoring a second charge after cancellation
Billing system delays can cause a charge to appear days after you cancelled. Do not ignore it. Immediately dispute it with your bank and send a screenshot of your cancellation confirmation to Blooom support. Most erroneous charges are reversed within 10 business days if you act quickly.
