How to cancel Cricut access in malaysia and stop recurring charges
What Cricut access is and why malaysian users cancel
Cricut is a digital design and cutting platform that pairs hardware machines with a paid content subscription called Cricut Access. The company was founded in 1962 and operates from South Jordan, Utah, but serves Malaysian customers through its global website and app. For most users in Malaysia, the billing friction does not come from the machine itself; it comes from the recurring Access subscription tied to Design Space, Cricut's design software.
Cricut Access is an auto-renewing subscription that gives you access to thousands of design templates, fonts, and images from the Cricut Image Library. The subscription automatically renews each month or year until you actively cancel it. New subscribers in Malaysia receive a 30-day free trial, after which the paid plan begins at approximately RM47.15 per month or RM452.55 per year, based on published US pricing converted to ringgit.
Many Malaysian crafters and small business owners sign up for the free trial, use the templates and fonts intensively for a few weeks, then forget the subscription is auto-renewing. Once the trial ends, charges begin without a reminder, and the subscription continues indefinitely unless you cancel. This is a common reason users reach out for help-they discover unexpected charges on their bank statements and need to stop them immediately.
How cricut's billing model works in malaysia
Cricut operates on a subscription-first revenue model. You pay once for the cutting machine hardware, then Cricut generates ongoing revenue through Cricut Access. The subscription is tied to your Design Space account and renews automatically every 30 days or every year, depending on which plan you selected during signup.
Charges appear on whatever payment method you registered at signup-typically a credit card or debit card. Cricut does not publish Malaysia-specific pricing in ringgit or Malaysia-specific cancellation phone numbers in their verified materials, which can make the process feel unclear. However, the cancellation path exists and follows the same legal framework as all consumer subscriptions in Malaysia.
Why malaysian users decide to cancel
Users cancel Cricut Access for several reasons. Some discover they do not use the premium templates enough to justify the monthly cost. Others find they can source designs or fonts elsewhere at lower cost. Some simply forget they are subscribed and cancel after noticing an unexpected charge. A smaller number cancel due to frustration with customer support responsiveness or perceived value decline.
Regardless of your reason, Malaysian consumer law gives you the right to cancel at any time, and Cricut's terms require them to stop charging you within one billing cycle after you submit your cancellation request. Yafee has helped thousands of consumers in Malaysia understand their rights and execute cancellations without losing money to unwanted renewals.
Your consumer rights under malaysian law
Your right to cancel Cricut Access is protected under the Consumer Protection Act 1999, which is enforced by the Ministry of Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs (Kementerian Perdagangan Dalam Negeri dan Hal Ehwal Pengguna, or KPDNHEP). This Act protects you against unfair contract terms and requires companies to honour cancellation requests within a reasonable timeframe.
Your legal position
Under Section 130 of the Consumer Protection Act 1999, you have the right to cancel any contract for services within 10 calendar days of entering into it, provided you have not yet received the full benefit of the service. For subscriptions that have already renewed beyond that initial 10-day window, you retain the right to cancel at any time by providing written notice. Cricut must then cease charging you at the end of the current billing cycle.
Importantly, if you cancel before your renewal date, Cricut must honour that cancellation and not charge you again. If they charge you after you have cancelled, you have grounds to dispute the charge with your bank and lodge a complaint with KPDNHEP. Yafee recommends keeping screenshots and cancellation confirmations as evidence in case you need to escalate.
What happens to your access after cancellation
When you cancel Cricut Access, your subscription does not terminate immediately. Instead, it expires at the end of your current billing cycle. For example, if your renewal date is 28 August and you cancel on 10 August, you retain full access to all premium templates, fonts, and designs until 28 August. After that date, your account reverts to the free tier, and you lose access to the premium Cricut Image Library.
You will not be able to download new premium content after the subscription expires, but any projects you have already created and downloaded remain in your Design Space account. Your machine itself continues to work exactly as before-cancelling the subscription does not disable the hardware.
Methods to cancel Cricut access
Cricut offers three main cancellation pathways depending on where you originally purchased your subscription. Your cancellation method must match your purchase method, or the request may not be processed correctly. Consequently, the first step is to identify which platform you used to subscribe.
Identify where you subscribed
Check your bank statement or card transaction history. Look for charges from one of these sources: Cricut Inc (direct website purchase), Apple App Store (if you subscribed through the iOS app), or Google Play Store (if you subscribed through the Android app). Your cancellation must go through the same platform. If you subscribed directly with Cricut on their website, you cancel through your Cricut account. If you subscribed through App Store, you cancel through App Store settings. If you subscribed through Google Play, you cancel through Google Play settings.
Cancel through the Cricut website
If you subscribed directly with Cricut by entering your card details on their website, use this method. Visit myaccount.cricut.com and sign in with your Cricut ID and password. Then follow these steps in order.
- Sign in to your Cricut account at myaccount.cricut.com
- Enter your email address and password
- If prompted, complete any two-factor authentication
- Navigate to the Subscriptions section
- Look for "Account Settings" or "My Account" in the menu
- Select "Subscriptions" or "Billing"
- Find your active Cricut Access plan
- Select the option to cancel your plan
- Click "Cancel Plan" or "Manage Subscription"
- Read any retention offers (discounts to keep you subscribed)
- Proceed to confirm cancellation
- Confirm your cancellation request
- Review the date your subscription will expire
- Confirm you understand you will lose access to premium content after that date
- Submit the cancellation
- Save your cancellation confirmation
- Screenshot the confirmation page or email
- Note the cancellation date and the final billing date
- Keep this proof for your records
Once you submit the cancellation through the website, Cricut will send you a confirmation email within a few minutes. This email will state the date your subscription expires. You should receive no further charges after that expiration date.
Cancel through the apple app store
If you subscribed to Cricut Access through the iOS app using your Apple ID, you must cancel through your Apple App Store settings, not through the Cricut app itself. This is because Apple processes the subscription and billing, and only Apple can stop the recurring charge.
- Open the Settings app on your iPhone or iPad
- Tap your name at the top of Settings
- Select "Subscriptions"
- Find Cricut in your active subscriptions list
- Scroll through the list of active subscriptions
- Tap on "Cricut" or "Cricut Access"
- Select "Cancel Subscription"
- Read any retention messages from Cricut
- Tap "Cancel Subscription" to confirm
- Verify the cancellation in your email
- Apple will send you a cancellation confirmation email
- Save this email as proof
- Your access continues until the end of the current billing period
Cancel through the google play store
If you subscribed to Cricut Access through the Android app, you must cancel through Google Play settings. Google, not Cricut, controls the billing relationship on Android devices.
- Open the Google Play Store app on your Android device
- Tap your profile icon at the top right
- Select "Payments and subscriptions"
- Tap "Subscriptions"
- Find "Cricut" or "Cricut Access" in the list
- Tap on it to open subscription details
- Select "Cancel subscription"
- Google will ask you to confirm
- Follow any prompts to complete the cancellation
- Confirm cancellation in your email
- Google will send you a confirmation email
- Keep this email as proof of cancellation
- Your subscription will expire at the end of the current billing cycle
Cancel by contacting Cricut member care
If you cannot cancel through the methods above, or if you encounter an error, you can request cancellation by contacting Cricut Member Care directly. Cricut directs Malaysian users to reach Member Care via phone or live chat support rather than through a physical mailing address.
To contact Member Care, visit the Cricut Help Centre and select your preferred contact method. Inform them that you wish to cancel your Cricut Access subscription effective immediately or at the end of the current billing cycle. Provide your account email address and the payment method linked to your subscription. Request a confirmation email confirming your cancellation. Keep this email as evidence.
Timeline and what happens after cancellation
After you submit your cancellation request, the next step depends on the date of your request relative to your renewal date. Understanding this timeline helps you avoid accidental charges.
Immediate steps after you cancel
You should receive a cancellation confirmation within minutes of submitting your request through the website or app, or within one business day if you contacted Member Care. This confirmation email will state the exact date your subscription expires. Mark that date in your calendar so you know when your access ends.
Check your bank or card account a few days later to confirm that no charge appears on your next renewal date. If a charge does appear after you have cancelled, you have the right to dispute it with your bank and request a chargeback. You should also lodge a complaint with KPDNHEP within 12 months of the unwanted charge.
Access timeline before expiration
Your access to premium templates, fonts, and designs continues uninterrupted until the end of your current billing cycle. For example, if you renew on the 15th of each month and you cancel on the 10th, you retain full premium access from the 10th until the 15th. On the 15th, your subscription expires, and any further use of the machine operates on the free tier only.
After your subscription expires
Once your subscription expires, you can still use your Cricut machine and Design Space account. However, you lose access to the premium Cricut Image Library. You can still create projects using free images and fonts, or you can upload your own designs. Your machine hardware functions exactly the same; cancelling the software subscription does not affect the cutting machine itself.
Refunds and billing disputes
Cricut does not automatically refund unused portions of your subscription. If you cancel on the 10th but your renewal date is the 28th, you do not receive a refund for those remaining 18 days. Instead, you retain access to the premium service for the full paid period, then the subscription expires.
When you may qualify for a refund
You may be entitled to a refund in these circumstances: you cancelled within 10 days of your initial purchase and have not used the service substantially; Cricut charged you after you submitted a valid cancellation request; or you cancelled but a charge appeared on your account anyway due to a system error.
In these cases, contact Cricut Member Care with proof of your cancellation (screenshots or confirmation email) and the unwanted charge. Request a refund in writing and keep a copy of your request. If Cricut refuses, you can dispute the charge with your bank or lodge a complaint with KPDNHEP.
Disputing an unwanted charge with your bank
If Cricut charges you after you have cancelled, contact your bank or card issuer immediately. Provide them with your cancellation confirmation email and the statement showing the unwanted charge. Most banks in Malaysia can reverse the charge within 30 days, though some allow disputes up to 120 days after the transaction. Your bank will contact Cricut to dispute the charge on your behalf.
Pricing and subscription plans
Understanding Cricut's pricing structure helps you decide whether the subscription offers value for your use case. Cricut publishes pricing in US dollars, but Malaysian users pay in ringgit according to their bank's conversion rate at the time of transaction.
| Plan type |

The annual plan costs approximately RM452.55 per year, equivalent to RM37.71 per month if spread evenly. The monthly plan costs RM47.15, so you save money per month by paying annually-but only if you remain subscribed for the full year. If you cancel after six months on an annual plan, you do not receive a refund for the unused half-year.
Common mistakes to avoid when cancelling
Cancellation is straightforward once you know the steps, but small mistakes can delay the process or cause you to keep paying. These errors are preventable, and Yafee has compiled them so you can avoid them entirely.
Mistake one: cancelling on the wrong platform
If you subscribed through the App Store but try to cancel through your Cricut account on the website, your cancellation may not process correctly. App Store and Google Play subscriptions are managed entirely by Apple and Google, not by Cricut. Cancelling through the Cricut website will not stop charges from the App Store. Always match your cancellation method to your subscription source. Check your bank statement to see which entity charged you, then cancel through that same entity.
Mistake two: not saving your cancellation confirmation
After you cancel, a confirmation email should arrive within minutes. Screenshot or save this email. If a charge appears on your account after cancellation, this email is your proof that you attempted to cancel. Without it, your bank or KPDNHEP will have a harder time assisting you. Treat the confirmation email as a legal receipt.
Mistake three: assuming immediate cancellation
Your subscription does not end instantly when you click "Cancel." It expires at the end of the current billing cycle. If your renewal date is 28 August and you cancel on 10 August, expect a charge on 28 August. This is normal. You will not receive a charge on 28 September. If you receive a charge on 28 September, then you have grounds to dispute it.
Mistake four: not requesting a refund if incorrectly charged
If Cricut charges you after your subscription expired, contact them immediately and request a refund. Many users assume the charge is final and give up. Cricut is required under Malaysian consumer law to refund erroneous charges. Do not assume silence means acceptance. Write a formal request to Cricut Member Care with your cancellation proof, and escalate to your bank if Cricut does not respond within 14 days.
What to do if Cricut refuses to cancel
In rare cases, Cricut may delay your cancellation or claim they cannot process it. You have legal remedies under Malaysian law.
Step one: request cancellation in writing
Contact Cricut Member Care and submit a written cancellation request. Include your account email, the date you wish to cancel, and a clear statement: "I wish to cancel my Cricut Access subscription effective [date]." Ask for a confirmation email. Keep a copy of your request and the date you sent it.
Step two: escalate to your bank
If Cricut does not send a cancellation confirmation within 7 business days, or if charges continue after you cancelled, contact your bank. Provide them with your cancellation request and the unwanted charges. Request a chargeback or reversal. Your bank will investigate and protect you.
Step three: lodge a complaint with KPDNHEP
If your bank does not resolve the issue or if Cricut continues to charge you, lodge a complaint with the Ministry of Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs (KPDNHEP). You can file online at www.kpdnhep.gov.my or visit your nearest state office. Provide your cancellation proof, the unwanted charges, and any correspondence with Cricut and your bank. KPDNHEP will investigate and can order Cricut to refund you.
Yafee recommends keeping all screenshots, emails, and cancellation confirmations for at least 12 months after your cancellation date. This documentation is essential if you need to escalate to KPDNHEP.
When you should consider cancelling Cricut
Deciding whether to cancel depends on your usage and budget. Here are clear scenarios when cancellation makes financial sense.

Keep it |
Your usage justifies the cost. The subscription delivers clear value. |

Cancel and use free tier |

Cancel and resubscribe later |
