Cancel Tastecard: Your Complete Guide
How to cancel Tastecard in nigeria: your legal guide and step-by-step procedure
What Tastecard is and why nigerians subscribe
Tastecard is a restaurant discount membership service that connects you to dining offers at participating venues across the UK and Ireland. You access deals through their website and mobile applications, claiming discounts when you dine out at partner restaurants. The service is primarily designed for UK customers, but many Nigerians subscribe to use it while travelling abroad or to access offers for family and friends living in the UK.
If Tastecard no longer meets your needs, Yafee has prepared this comprehensive guide to walk you through cancellation step by step. This guide covers every cancellation method available to you, your entitlement to refunds under Nigerian law, your consumer rights under the Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Act (FCCPA) 2019, and the procedural mistakes to avoid.
How nigerians typically access Tastecard
Most Nigerian users subscribe through the Tastecard website or via the iOS App Store or Google Play. Because Tastecard operates from UK servers, all payments process in British pounds (GBP) and customer support is handled by their London-based team. There is no separate Nigeria-specific service desk or local support line. All communication happens online via email or through your account dashboard on their website.
Why you might want to cancel
Your reasons for cancelling are yours alone. You may have signed up for a trial, discovered the restaurant network is too limited where you travel, experienced unexpected charges, or simply stopped using the application. Whatever your reason, cancelling promptly prevents unwanted charges and keeps your payment method secure. Yafee recommends acting quickly once you have decided the subscription no longer serves you.
Your consumer rights under nigerian law
Nigeria's Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Act (FCCPA) 2019 gives you specific legal protections when purchasing services online, including subscription memberships like Tastecard.
The 14-day statutory cooling-off period explained
Under section 67 of the FCCPA 2019, you possess the right to cancel an initial subscription membership within 14 days of agreeing to the service terms. This period runs from the date you first accepted Tastecard's subscription agreement, not from your first transaction or first use. You can request a full refund of the amount paid during this window, though Tastecard may deduct reasonable fees for services you actually consumed if they can prove genuine use.
Your legal position: The 14-day cooling-off period is automatic. You do not need Tastecard's permission to cancel within this window. Tastecard must refund your money within 14 days of receiving your cancellation notice, minus only verified service charges. If they refuse, you have the right to escalate your complaint to the Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (FCCPC) or your bank.
Anchor your cancellation to the exact date you subscribed. Check your confirmation email for the precise timestamp. Save this email. If you fall within 14 days and Tastecard refuses to refund, document the rejection in writing and escalate immediately to the Central Bank of Nigeria or your payment provider (your bank, Apple Pay, or Google Pay).
Protections after the 14-day period
Once the cooling-off window closes, the FCCPA still requires that Tastecard honour your cancellation request and stop charging you immediately. However, they are not legally obliged to refund unused portions of your current billing cycle after the initial 14 days. The law protects you from hidden charges and automatic renewals without your explicit consent, but does not guarantee refunds for unused time after the cooling-off window expires.
Your right to fair and transparent contract terms
Tastecard's subscription terms must be transparent, clearly written, and not exploitative under the FCCPA. If they make cancellation deliberately difficult, hide their contact email address, refuse to acknowledge your cancellation request, or charge you after you have cancelled, you have grounds to file a formal complaint with the Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (FCCPC). The FCCPC has enforcement power and can compel refunds and penalties against non-compliant businesses.
Methods to cancel Tastecard: choose your route
Tastecard offers multiple cancellation paths depending on how you signed up and which device you use. Yafee recommends the website method as fastest and most reliable; app-based cancellation can sometimes be delayed by the store's processing time.
Website cancellation: the most reliable method
Cancelling directly on Tastecard's website gives you instant on-screen confirmation and an email receipt. This creates a paper trail if a dispute arises later.
- Visit tastecard.com and log into your account using your email and password
- Navigate to your account settings or subscription management section (usually labelled "My Account" or "Subscription")
- Locate the "Cancel Membership" or "Manage Subscription" option
- Select "Cancel" and follow the on-screen prompts
- Tastecard may ask why you are cancelling; this is optional and does not prevent cancellation
- Do not be swayed by retention offers unless they genuinely meet your needs
- Receive your on-screen confirmation immediately
- Check your email within 5 minutes for a confirmation message from Tastecard with your cancellation reference number
- Save or screenshot this email; it is your proof of cancellation
Mobile app cancellation: platform-specific steps
If you subscribed through Apple's App Store or Google Play, you can cancel through the respective app store rather than through Tastecard's website. This method sometimes takes longer because the store's system must sync with Tastecard's servers.
For Apple App Store users:
- Open the Apple App Store on your iPhone or iPad
- Tap the account icon (profile picture) in the top-right corner
- Select "Subscriptions"
- Find "Tastecard" in your active subscriptions list
- Tap "Tastecard" and select "Cancel Subscription"
- Confirm the cancellation and note the date your subscription will end
- Apple will send a confirmation email to your registered Apple ID email address
For Google Play users:
- Open the Google Play Store app on your Android device
- Tap the menu icon (three horizontal lines) in the top-left corner
- Select "Subscriptions"
- Tap "Tastecard" from your active subscriptions
- Select "Cancel Subscription"
- Confirm the cancellation and review the end date of your current billing cycle
- Google will email you a confirmation to your registered Google account email
Email cancellation: when direct methods fail
If you cannot cancel through the website or app, you can email Tastecard's customer support team directly. This method is slower and less reliable, but it creates a written record of your cancellation request.
- Draft a plain email to Tastecard's support address (check their website footer or your account settings for the current email)
- Include the following information in your email:
- Your full name as registered on the account
- Your email address associated with Tastecard
- Your account reference number or subscription ID (found in account settings or past invoices)
- The date you wish cancellation to take effect (ideally immediately)
- A clear statement: "I request cancellation of my Tastecard subscription effective immediately"
- Send the email and request a read receipt
- Allow 5-7 business days for a response
- If you do not receive confirmation within 7 days, resend the email and escalate to your bank or payment provider
Timeline and what happens after cancellation
Understanding the cancellation timeline protects you from surprise charges and helps you act quickly if something goes wrong.
Immediate effects of cancellation
Once you cancel Tastecard, the following takes effect immediately or within 24 hours:
- Your account access is disabled; you cannot log in or claim new discounts
- Any discount codes you have not yet used are voided
- Tastecard stops processing recurring charges at your next renewal date
- If you cancelled mid-cycle, you retain access until the end of your current billing period (unless you request immediate cancellation and qualify for a refund under the 14-day rule)
Refund timeline and what to expect
Under the FCCPA, Tastecard must process refunds within 14 days of receiving your valid cancellation request. If you are within the 14-day cooling-off period, you are entitled to a full refund. Refunds are returned to your original payment method (your bank card, Apple wallet, or Google Play credit). Allow an additional 3-5 business days for your bank to process the credit back into your account.
If you do not see a refund within 21 days of cancellation, contact your bank and provide them with your cancellation confirmation email. Your bank can trace the refund through the payment processor.
Monitoring your account after cancellation
Cancellation mistakes and processing delays do occur. Yafee recommends checking your bank or payment app 5-7 days after cancellation to confirm no new charges have appeared. If Tastecard charges you after cancellation, document the charge and contact your bank immediately. You have the right to dispute fraudulent or unauthorised charges under Nigerian consumer protection law and your payment provider's terms.
Tastecard pricing and refund entitlements table
This table outlines Tastecard's typical UK pricing structure, your refund eligibility, and the legal basis for your entitlement.
| Subscription period | Typical cost (GBP) | Refund within 14 days | Refund after 14 days | Legal basis |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Monthly | £4.99 | Full refund | None (unless charged after cancellation) | FCCPA section 67 |
| Quarterly (3 months) | £12.99 | Full refund | None | FCCPA section 67 |
| Annual | £39.99 | Full refund | None | FCCPA section 67 |
| Free trial | £0 | Automatic; no charge if cancelled before expiry | N/A | FCCPA section 67 |
| Expired credit balance | Variable | Refundable as unused service | Not refundable unless credited before cancellation | FCCPA section 67 |
Note: Prices shown are typical UK rates in British pounds (GBP). Your bank or payment provider will convert to Nigerian Naira (NGN) at current exchange rates. Actual costs may vary depending on Tastecard's current promotions or membership tier. Check your invoice for your exact charges.
Common cancellation mistakes and how to avoid them
Cancellation is straightforward, but several procedural errors can delay your refund or leave you vulnerable to unwanted charges. Yafee has helped thousands of consumers navigate these pitfalls; here are the most common mistakes and how to sidestep them.
Mistake 1: confusing app store cancellation with Tastecard account cancellation
Cancelling Tastecard through Apple App Store or Google Play stops the subscription through that store channel, but does not always delete your Tastecard account. Consequently, if you later re-download the app or log into the Tastecard website, your account may still be active. The safest approach is to cancel directly on Tastecard's website to ensure your account is fully disabled.
Mistake 2: cancelling during a free trial without verifying the refund policy
Free trials must be cancelled before the trial period ends, or Tastecard will charge you for the first paid subscription. The FCCPA does not require refunds for charges you incur after a free trial expires if you did not cancel in time. Set a phone reminder for one day before your trial ends to cancel proactively.
Mistake 3: not saving your cancellation confirmation
Your cancellation confirmation email is your proof that you cancelled on a specific date. If Tastecard later claims you never cancelled, or if you dispute a charge, this email is your strongest evidence. Screenshot or save every confirmation message to a dedicated folder or cloud storage.
Mistake 4: assuming access ends immediately after cancellation
In most cases, you retain access to Tastecard until the end of your current billing cycle, even after you cancel. You do not receive a refund for the unused time. If you want immediate access to be revoked, you must request this explicitly at the time of cancellation and verify that Tastecard has acknowledged your request.
Mistake 5: ignoring retention offers without evaluating them
Tastecard may offer you a discount or extended trial to retain your subscription when you attempt to cancel. If this offer genuinely addresses your reason for cancelling, accept it. However, do not accept an offer simply to be polite. If you have decided the service does not meet your needs, decline and proceed with cancellation.
Comparing cancellation methods: your options at a glance
This table compares the three primary cancellation methods and highlights the strengths and weaknesses of each.
| Cancellation method | Speed | Proof of cancellation | Customer support interaction | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Website direct cancellation | Instant (0-5 min) | On-screen confirmation + email | None required | Most users; fastest and safest |
| Apple App Store cancellation | Instant (0-5 min) | App Store confirmation + email | None; handled by Apple | iOS users who subscribed via App Store |
| Google Play cancellation | Instant (0-5 min) | Play Store confirmation + email | None; handled by Google | Android users who subscribed via Play Store |
| Email cancellation request | Slow (5-7 business days) | Sent email + response email | Direct email with support team | When website or app options are unavailable |
| Bank dispute (nuclear option) | Medium (5-10 business days) | Bank dispute form + bank documentation | Bank handles; adversarial process | Only when Tastecard refuses to cancel or refund |
What to do if Tastecard refuses to cancel or refund
In the rare event that Tastecard ignores your cancellation request or refuses to process a refund you are legally entitled to, you have formal escalation routes under Nigerian law.
Step 1: formal written demand
Send a formal written demand to Tastecard via email. State that you are invoking your rights under the Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Act (FCCPA) 2019 and demand a refund within 7 days. Include your cancellation confirmation, the date you cancelled, and the specific refund amount you are entitled to. Mark the email "Final Notice Before Formal Complaint."
Step 2: complaint to the federal competition and consumer protection commission (FCCPC)
If Tastecard does not respond within 7 days of your formal demand, file a formal complaint with the Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (FCCPC). The FCCPC is Nigeria's primary consumer protection regulator and has the power to investigate businesses and compel refunds. You can lodge a complaint online at fccpc.gov.ng or in writing to their Lagos office. Yafee recommends including all correspondence, cancellation confirmations, and bank statements showing the charge.
Step 3: chargeback through your bank or payment provider
Simultaneously, contact your bank or payment provider (Apple, Google, etc.) and initiate a chargeback or dispute for fraudulent or unauthorised charges. Provide them with your cancellation proof and your formal complaint to the FCCPC. Most banks will reverse the charge within 14-30 days while they investigate.
Step 4: escalation to the central bank of nigeria
If your bank does not resolve the dispute within 30 days, escalate your complaint to the Central Bank of Nigeria's Consumer Protection Department. The CBN oversees payment systems and financial services and can compel banks and payment processors to act on your behalf.
After cancellation: your rights and what happens next
Once Tastecard has processed your cancellation, you are no longer bound by the subscription agreement and Yafee recommends you monitor your account to ensure no further charges occur.
Your account access after cancellation
Immediately after cancellation, you lose the ability to claim new discounts or log into Tastecard's website. Any discount vouchers or credits you have not used are forfeited. If you cancel mid-cycle, you typically retain access until the end of your current billing period. Check your account email or cancellation confirmation to confirm your final access date.
Data deletion and privacy
Tastecard retains your account data (name, email, payment history) for up to 7 years to comply with UK tax and financial regulations, even after cancellation. If you wish to request deletion of your personal data earlier, you have the right to do so under the Data Protection Act 2018 (UK) and analogous Nigerian data protection principles. Send a formal data deletion request to Tastecard's privacy contact email and allow 30 days for a response.
Re-subscribing to Tastecard in the future
You can re-subscribe to Tastecard at any time after cancellation. If you signed up for a free trial previously, you may not be eligible for another trial (Tastecard's policy is one free trial per account). However, you can re-open a cancelled account under the same email address if you wish to return later.
Your next steps: taking action with yafee
Cancelling Tastecard is simple if you follow the correct procedure and understand your rights under Nigerian law. Yafee has provided you with the legal framework (FCCPA section 67), the three cancellation methods, a clear timeline, and escalation routes if Tastecard refuses to comply.
Gather your cancellation confirmation email, verify the date you subscribed, and take action today. If you cancel within 14 days, you are guaranteed a full refund. If you cancel after 14 days, you stop future charges immediately and retain access until the end of your current billing cycle.

Tastecard's contact details:
Since Tastecard operates exclusively from the UK, there is no Nigeria-specific postal address. All cancellations are processed online through your account dashboard at tastecard.com or via email to their customer support team (contact details available on the Tastecard website footer). If you need to escalate a complaint, address correspondence to the Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission at their Lagos office or file your complaint at fccpc.gov.ng.
