How to cancel Epix in malaysia and stop charges before your next billing date
What Epix is and why you may need to cancel
Epix is a streaming service for film and television content, now primarily distributed through the MGM+ platform. If you subscribed in Malaysia, you are paying for on-demand access to films, original series, and exclusive programming on a recurring monthly basis. Understanding what you signed up for and where your billing happens is the first step toward cancelling without unnecessary charges.
Epix and mGM+ are now the same service
Epix rebranded and merged its operations under MGM+, the parent streaming service. When you subscribe to Epix, you are actually accessing the MGM+ platform. This matters for cancellation because your account settings, billing, and support portal are all hosted through MGM+ infrastructure, not a standalone Epix website in Malaysia.
The terms and conditions that govern your subscription - including auto-renewal rules and the 7-day free trial conversion policy - are published on epix.plus. These terms are binding in Malaysia under the Consumer Protection Act 1999 (Act 599), which requires the service provider to disclose renewal terms clearly before charging you.
The free trial trap and automatic billing
Many Epix subscribers in Malaysia encounter unexpected charges because the free trial automatically converts to a paid plan. Your subscription renews automatically at the end of each billing period until you cancel. There is no minimum contract lock-in, which is good news for you, but it also means you must act before the next billing date or you will be charged again.
If you signed up for a 7-day free trial and did not cancel before day 8, the service will bill your payment method automatically. The conversion happens whether you actively chose to upgrade or simply let the trial expire. This automatic renewal must be stopped in advance; you cannot reverse a charge simply by cancelling after it posts.
Why cancelling quickly protects your money
Your legal position under the Consumer Protection Act 1999 is strong: you have the right to cancel a subscription service before each renewal date, and the service provider must honour that cancellation without charging you again. However, the service provider is entitled to charge you for the current billing period if you have already benefited from access. Once a charge is processed, you enter a refund dispute, which takes time and effort. Cancelling before the billing date is far simpler than chasing a refund afterward.
Pricing and what you are paying for
Epix pricing in Malaysia varies depending on your subscription tier and the billing channel through which you signed up. The service operates on a recurring subscription model with no publicly fixed Malaysia-specific rate in the verified data, as pricing may differ by region and payment method.
| Billing method |
How it affects cancellation |
Cancellation location |
| Direct Epix/MGM+ account |
You control the card on file; easiest to manage |
MGM+ web account dashboard |
| Apple App Store (iOS) |
Apple manages the recurring charge; must cancel in Apple settings |
iPhone Settings > Subscriptions |
| Google Play Store (Android) |
Google manages the recurring charge; must cancel in Google settings |
Google Play app > Subscriptions |
| Amazon Prime Video Channels |
Amazon processes the charge; cancel through Prime Video settings |
Amazon Prime Video account > Subscriptions |
The most important fact: you must cancel through the channel that actually bills you. If your card is charged by Apple, cancelling on the MGM+ website will not stop your next payment. You must go to the payment provider's account settings, not the streaming service's site.
Your legal rights as a consumer in malaysia
You are protected by the Consumer Protection Act 1999 (Act 599), which gives you explicit rights when cancelling a subscription service. This law applies to all services sold in Malaysia, including Epix and MGM+.
The right to cancel before renewal
Under the Consumer Protection Act 1999, the service provider must clearly disclose the renewal date and terms before you are charged. You have the right to cancel at any time before the renewal date, and the service must stop billing you after that cancellation takes effect. The service provider cannot impose hidden fees or mandatory notice periods for cancellation; you can stop your subscription immediately.
This right applies whether you signed up for a free trial or a paid plan. If the free trial terms were not clearly disclosed before you were charged, you have grounds to dispute the charge with your bank or the payment platform (such as Apple or Google).
Right to a refund after cancellation
Once you cancel, you are entitled to stop future charges. However, the service provider may keep the fee you already paid for the current billing period, as you have already received access to the content. If the service became unavailable or you were billed in breach of the terms you agreed to, you have the right to demand a refund under section 14 of the Consumer Protection Act 1999, which covers defective services.
To enforce your rights, contact the Malaysian Ministry of Domestic Trade and Cost of Living (MDTC) or lodge a complaint with the Federation of Malaysian Consumers Associations (FOMCA) if the service provider refuses to honour your cancellation or refund request.
Your legal position: keeping proof
You strengthen your legal position by keeping screenshots of your cancellation confirmation, the timestamp, and any email receipt from the service provider. If a charge appears after you cancel, you can present this evidence to your bank or payment platform as proof that you cancelled before the billing date. Under the Consumer Protection Act 1999, the burden is on the service provider to prove it processed your cancellation correctly.
How to cancel Epix through each billing method
Cancellation steps differ depending on whether you pay Epix directly, through Apple, Google, or Amazon. Find your billing method below and follow the exact steps for your platform.
Cancel Epix if you pay directly through the mGM+ website
This is the simplest method if you set up your account directly on the Epix or MGM+ website and your card is billed by them, not by a third-party app store.
- Visit the MGM+ Help portal at mgmplus.com/help
- Log in with the email and password you used to create your account
- If you cannot remember your login, use the "Forgot password" link
- Navigate to your account settings

- Click the final "Confirm cancellation" or "Cancel subscription" button
- Save your cancellation confirmation
- The service will display a confirmation code and email you a receipt
- Screenshot the on-screen confirmation and save the email
- Note the date and time of your cancellation
After you complete these steps, your subscription will end on your current billing date. You will retain access until that date, then your account will be locked. No further charges will be applied if you cancel before the renewal date.
Cancel Epix if you pay through apple app store
If you subscribed via an iPhone or iPad and Apple charges your account every month, you must cancel through Apple's own subscription settings, not through the Epix app.
- Open the Settings app on your iPhone or iPad
- Scroll down and tap "Subscriptions" or "iTunes & App Store"
- On newer iOS versions, tap "Subscriptions" at the top
- Tap your Apple ID profile icon at the top
- You may need to sign in with your Apple ID password or Face ID
- Select "Subscriptions" from the menu
- Find Epix or MGM+ in the active subscriptions list
- Scroll to find the service (it may be listed under "MGM+" rather than "Epix")
- Tap on it
- Tap "Cancel Subscription"
- You will see your renewal date and the amount you are being charged
- Confirm that this is the correct subscription
- Follow the prompts and confirm the cancellation
- Apple will show you the end date of your current billing period
- You will see a confirmation message saying "Subscription cancelled"
- Screenshot your confirmation
- Apple will send you an email confirmation to your Apple ID email address
- Save this email and the on-screen confirmation
Once Apple processes your cancellation, no further charges will be made to your Apple ID. You retain access through the end of your current billing period.
Cancel Epix if you pay through google play store
If you subscribed via an Android device and Google Play charges your account, you must cancel through Google's subscription management tools.
- Open the Google Play Store app on your Android device
- Tap the profile icon in the top right corner
- Select "Payments and subscriptions"
- Tap "Subscriptions"
- You will see a list of all active subscriptions linked to your Google account
- Find Epix or MGM+ in the list
- Tap on it to open the subscription details

- The app will ask you why you are cancelling
- You do not have to provide a reason; skip this step if you prefer
- Confirm your cancellation
- Google will show you the final date you have access
- Tap the confirmation button to complete the cancellation
- Save your confirmation details
- Screenshot the confirmation message
- Google will email you a cancellation confirmation
- Save that email
After cancellation, Google Play will not charge you again. You keep access until the end of your current billing cycle.
Cancel Epix if you pay through amazon prime video
If you subscribed to Epix as an add-on channel through Amazon Prime Video, you cancel it from your Prime Video account settings.
- Visit amazon.com or open the Amazon Prime Video app
- Sign in with your Amazon account
- Navigate to "Account & Lists" and select "Your Account"
- Go to "Prime Video settings" or "Manage subscriptions"
- On the web, this is under "Your memberships and subscriptions"
- On the app, tap the profile icon and select "Subscriptions"
- Find Epix or MGM+ in your channel list
- It will appear as an "Add-on" or "Channel" subscription
- Tap or click on it
- Select "Cancel subscription" or "Manage"
- Amazon will display your next renewal date
- Click the cancellation option
- Confirm the cancellation
- Amazon will ask you to confirm you want to cancel
- Tap "Yes, cancel" or the equivalent button
- Save your confirmation
- Screenshot the confirmation page
- Amazon will send a confirmation email
- Keep both for your records
Once you cancel through Amazon, your Prime Video billing will no longer include charges for the Epix add-on. You keep full access until the current billing period ends.
What happens after you cancel Epix
Cancellation does not mean you lose access immediately. The service remains available until the end of your current billing period, after which your account will be deactivated.
Access and account status after cancellation
Your Epix or MGM+ account will continue to work normally until your billing period expires. You can watch any content you started before cancellation. Once your final billing date passes, the service will lock your account and you will no longer be able to log in or stream content.
If you change your mind before the cancellation date, you can reactivate your subscription by logging back in and selecting "Reactivate" or "Restart subscription" on the same billing platform. Reactivation is typically instant.
Checking your cancellation status
To verify that your cancellation went through correctly, log back into your account a few hours after you cancel. Your subscription status should show "Cancelled" or "Expires on [date]". If it still shows "Active," wait a few minutes and refresh the page. If it still shows active after 24 hours, contact MGM+ Help via mgmplus.com/help to confirm the cancellation manually.
Disputing a charge if you were billed after cancellation
If your payment method was charged after you cancelled, you have the right to dispute that charge under the Consumer Protection Act 1999 and through your bank or payment provider.
Steps to dispute an unwanted charge
- Contact your bank or payment provider immediately
- Call the customer service number on the back of your card
- Explain that you were charged after you cancelled your Epix subscription
- Provide your cancellation confirmation screenshot or email
- Request a chargeback or refund investigation
- Your bank can reverse the charge if you can prove you cancelled before the billing date
- This process typically takes 10 to 30 business days
- Contact MGM+ Help to request a refund directly
- Go to mgmplus.com/help and file a support ticket
- Attach screenshots of your cancellation confirmation
- Explain the date you cancelled and the date you were charged
- Lodge a formal complaint with the Malaysian Ministry of Domestic Trade and Cost of Living
- If the service provider does not refund you within 14 days, file a complaint at mdtc.gov.my or contact FOMCA
- Include copies of your cancellation confirmation and billing statement
Keep all evidence: screenshots of your account, cancellation confirmation codes, email receipts, and your bank statement showing the charge. This documentation is essential if you need to escalate the dispute.
Common mistakes when cancelling Epix
Cancelling a streaming service is straightforward, but a few common missteps can leave you still paying. Here is how to avoid them and protect your money.
Mistake one: cancelling in the app but not through the payment provider
Many users delete the Epix app or log out, then assume they have cancelled. Deleting the app does not stop your subscription. If you paid through Apple, Google, or Amazon, you must cancel in that platform's settings, not just in the Epix app. Cancelling only in the app means your payment provider continues to charge you every month.
Mistake two: cancelling after the renewal date
If your billing date is the 15th and you cancel on the 16th, you will be charged for the next month. You must cancel before the renewal date, not after. Check your account today to find your exact billing date, then set a reminder for two days before.
Mistake three: not verifying which payment method is active
If you signed up through Apple but later updated your payment card on the Epix website, you may have created confusion about where the charge comes from. Go to your account right now and confirm: who is actually billing you every month? Then cancel through that provider's account, not the other one.
Mistake four: ignoring the cancellation confirmation
Some users cancel and do not save proof. Then, weeks later when they are charged again, they have no evidence of when they cancelled. Screenshot or save every confirmation email immediately. This is your proof if you need to dispute a charge.
