How to cancel Linkvertise premium and reclaim control of your earnings
What Linkvertise is and why you might want to leave
Linkvertise is an online link monetisation platform that allows content creators to earn revenue by placing short, gated steps between a link and its final destination. Publishers embed Linkvertise as an intermediary to their downloads, files, or exclusive content, and end users complete tasks or wait intervals to reach what they're seeking. The service offers a Premium subscription tier with enhanced features for publishers who want to scale their earnings without restrictions.
If you've signed up for Linkvertise Premium and now want to cancel, you're making a deliberate choice about your content strategy. Whether your earnings have failed to meet expectations, you've found more cost-effective monetisation tools, or you've simply changed your mind about the value, Yafee is here to walk you through cancellation step by step so you don't remain locked into unwanted charges.
Common reasons Linkvertise users cancel
Most people cancel Linkvertise because earnings don't justify the subscription cost, they discover better-performing alternatives, or they realise the Premium tier doesn't deliver tangible value for their traffic levels. Others cancel because they didn't recognise the initial charge or forgot they had an active subscription running in the background. Whatever your reason, your decision to cancel deserves a clear, friction-free path forward without hidden obstacles.
Your consumer rights in new zealand and how they protect you
New Zealand law stands firmly on your side when you're cancelling a subscription or disputing unfair charges from any provider, including overseas-based services like Linkvertise.
The consumer guarantees act and fair trading act explained
The Consumer Guarantees Act protects you against services that don't work as promised or mislead you into paying for features you won't receive. The Fair Trading Act bans misleading conduct, unfair contract terms, and unreasonable cancellation barriers. Together, these laws mean Linkvertise cannot:
- Hide cancellation options or make them deliberately difficult to locate.
- Charge you after you've cancelled, unless you've explicitly agreed to continuing charges in writing.
- Refuse a refund within 30 days without a legitimate reason that withstands scrutiny under New Zealand law.
- Lock you into a contract with unreasonable early exit penalties that discourage cancellation.
Your legal position: Even though Linkvertise operates from Germany, they must comply with New Zealand consumer law when they accept customers here and charge in NZD. You have the same statutory protections as you would with a local company.
What to do if Linkvertise refuses a legitimate refund
If Linkvertise denies your refund and you believe the refusal breaches the Consumer Guarantees Act, you have clear escalation routes. First, contact your bank or card issuer and dispute the transaction; most financial institutions will side with you if you provide a cancellation confirmation dated before the charge. Second, lodge a formal complaint with the Commerce Commission, which enforces the Consumer Guarantees Act and can investigate breaches. Consumer NZ also offers guidance on your rights and can direct you to further assistance. Yafee recommends keeping all evidence of your cancellation request, including screenshots of confirmation messages and email timestamps.
How to cancel Linkvertise premium
Cancellation methods depend on how you subscribed, but direct account cancellation through Linkvertise's platform is always your most reliable route.
Cancel directly via the Linkvertise website
This is your primary and most reliable cancellation method, and Yafee advises using it first.
- Visit the official Linkvertise website and sign in with your username and password.
- If you've forgotten your password, use the "Forgot password" link and reset it before you proceed.
- Navigate to your account settings or subscription dashboard.
- Look for a menu option labelled "Account Settings," "Subscriptions," "Billing," or "Premium."
- The exact label varies depending on recent platform updates, so scan the full menu if you don't spot it immediately.
- Locate your active Premium subscription in the list.
- You should see the subscription status, renewal date, and payment method.
- Click on the subscription name or a "Manage" button next to it.
- Select the cancellation option.
- Look for a button or link labelled "Cancel subscription," "Stop Premium," or "Downgrade."
- If no button appears, check whether you need to scroll down or expand a dropdown menu.
- Confirm your cancellation request.
- The platform will ask you to confirm; you may see a prompt asking why you're leaving or offering a discount to stay.
- Decline any discount offers and proceed with cancellation unless you genuinely want to continue.
- Some platforms ask you to confirm a second time; do so without hesitation.
- Download or screenshot your cancellation confirmation.
- The platform should display a confirmation message with a date and time.
- Save this immediately; you'll need it if charges continue or if you need to dispute a transaction.
Cancel via email if the website method fails
If you cannot access your account or the website cancellation button doesn't work, contact Linkvertise support by email.
- Locate the official support email address.
- Check the Linkvertise website footer, Help section, or contact page for the correct support email.
- Do not use generic email addresses; confirm you're using the official channel.
- Compose a clear cancellation request email.
- State your request plainly: "I wish to cancel my Linkvertise Premium subscription effective immediately."
- Include your account username or email address associated with the account.
- Include the date you joined Premium and your current payment method (e.g., last four digits of your card).
- Request written confirmation of cancellation and the date it takes effect.
- Send the email and retain a copy.
- Use "Cancel subscription" or "Cancellation request" as your subject line.
- Keep a copy of the email you sent and the timestamp for your records.
- Follow up if you don't receive a response within 5 business days.
- Send a follow-up email restating your cancellation request and referencing your original message date.
- If still no response, escalate to your bank or contact the Commerce Commission.
Cancel via your payment provider if direct methods don't work
If Linkvertise doesn't respond or refuses to cancel, your payment provider can stop the subscription on your behalf.
- Contact your bank or credit card issuer by phone or online banking.
- Inform them you want to cancel recurring payments to Linkvertise.
- Provide the merchant name, approximate monthly charge amount, and your account number with them.
- Request that they block future payments from Linkvertise.
- Your bank can revoke the payment authority (mandate) that allows Linkvertise to charge you.
- Ask for written confirmation of this block.
- Monitor your statements for any further charges.
- If Linkvertise charges you after the block, you have grounds to dispute the transaction as unauthorised.
Refund eligibility and your timeline
Your right to a refund depends on how long ago you were charged and whether Linkvertise's cancellation policy allows it.
The 30-day refund window
Under New Zealand consumer law, you have the right to request a refund within 30 days of purchase if you change your mind about a service subscription, provided you haven't fully used the service. If Linkvertise charged you less than 30 days ago, you can request a refund on the grounds of change of mind. Yafee recommends mentioning this statutory right in your cancellation request.
Charges beyond 30 days
If more than 30 days have passed since your most recent charge, refund eligibility becomes more complex. You can still argue for a refund if the service didn't perform as advertised (e.g., if your earnings were significantly lower than Linkvertise promised) or if they charged you after you cancelled. If you have evidence that you requested cancellation before the charge date, you have strong grounds to dispute it.
Processing refunds
Refunds typically take 5 to 10 business days to appear in your bank account after Linkvertise approves them. If no refund appears after 10 days, contact your bank to confirm the transaction was completed. Yafee advises keeping records of all correspondence so you can prove the refund was processed if any dispute arises later.
What happens after you cancel
Cancellation is only the beginning; confirming that the process worked is equally important.
Verify your cancellation status
Within 24 hours of cancelling, log back into your Linkvertise account and check your subscription status. You should see either no active Premium subscription or a status showing "Cancelled" with a cancellation date. If your account still shows an active subscription, the cancellation didn't complete and you need to repeat the process or contact support.
Check your next billing date
If your cancellation shows as active, your next renewal date should disappear or show "No renewal scheduled." If a renewal date still appears, contact Linkvertise immediately to confirm the cancellation was processed correctly. Take a screenshot of this as evidence that you cancelled before the renewal date.
Monitor your bank statements
Over the next 30 days, check your bank statements and credit card activity carefully. You should see no new charges from Linkvertise. If a charge appears after your cancellation date, that's a breach of the Fair Trading Act, and you have the right to dispute it with your bank or lodge a complaint with the Commerce Commission.

Common mistakes when cancelling Linkvertise
Many users panic when they see a charge they didn't expect, but staying calm and methodical ensures you get the outcome you want.
Mistake 1: assuming you've cancelled without confirming
Pressing a button is not the same as completing cancellation. Many users believe they've cancelled because they clicked "Cancel," but the system required a second confirmation they didn't see. Always wait for a confirmation page or email, and screenshot it immediately. If you don't receive confirmation within 24 hours, assume the cancellation failed and try again using the email method.
Mistake 2: not keeping cancellation proof
If Linkvertise later claims you never cancelled and charges you again, your confirmation screenshot is your only evidence. Without it, your bank will struggle to side with you in a dispute. Yafee strongly recommends saving both the on-screen confirmation and any confirmation email you receive. Print them if necessary and store them in a folder labelled "Linkvertise cancellation."
Mistake 3: ignoring charges that appear after cancellation
If a charge appears after your confirmed cancellation date, dispute it immediately with your bank. The longer you wait, the harder it becomes to prove the charge was unauthorised. Contact your bank within 30 days of spotting the charge and provide your cancellation date as evidence.
Mistake 4: cancelling via a third-party service instead of directly
Some third-party apps claim they can cancel subscriptions on your behalf. Using these services adds an unnecessary intermediary and can delay or complicate cancellation. Always cancel directly through Linkvertise's website or by emailing their official support address. Yafee advises avoiding third-party cancellation services for this reason.
Keeping or cancelling: a comparison
Before you cancel, consider whether a downgrade or temporary pause might serve you better than full cancellation.
| Scenario |
Best choice |
Why |
| Earnings too low to justify cost |
Cancel |
Premium only pays if earnings exceed the monthly fee. If they don't, cancellation saves money immediately. |
| Exploring competing platforms |
Cancel temporarily |
Cancel now and rejoin later if competitors don't perform. No re-setup fee usually applies. |
| Seasonal traffic fluctuations |
Downgrade or pause |
If you earn more at certain times of year, pausing during low seasons saves money without losing your account. |
| Uncertain about long-term use |
Cancel |
You can rejoin anytime. Paying for uncertainty wastes money. |
| Actively using all Premium features |
Keep Premium |
If the analytics, customisation, and earnings boost justify the cost, staying is the rational choice. |
| Unexpected charge you didn't notice |
Cancel and dispute |
You have grounds to recover the charge under the Consumer Guarantees Act if you weren't aware you'd been subscribed. |
If direct cancellation fails, you'll need to escalate your complaint to New Zealand's consumer protection authorities.
Linkvertise contact details
Linkvertise operates primarily from Germany and does not maintain a published postal address in New Zealand. You can contact them via email at [email protected] (verify this on their official website before sending). If you cannot locate current contact information, attempt cancellation through your online account dashboard first, as this creates a timestamped record of your request.
Escalation to the commerce commission
If Linkvertise refuses to cancel or process a refund despite your documented request, lodge a complaint with the Commerce Commission. You can file online at www.comcom.govt.nz or call 0800 943 600. The Commission investigates breaches of the Consumer Guarantees Act and the Fair Trading Act. Provide them with copies of your cancellation request, confirmation (if you received one), and any subsequent charges.
Consumer NZ advice line
Consumer NZ offers free phone advice on subscription disputes and consumer rights. Call 0800 543 353 or visit www.consumer.org.nz. They can guide you on whether you have grounds for a refund and advise on your next steps if Linkvertise doesn't cooperate.
Your summary and next steps
Cancelling Linkvertise Premium is straightforward if you follow the correct process and keep evidence of every step. Start by logging into your account and cancelling directly through the dashboard; screenshot the confirmation. If that doesn't work, email Linkvertise support with a clear cancellation request and keep a copy of your email. If Linkvertise ignores you or continues charging after cancellation, contact your bank to dispute the transaction, then escalate to the Commerce Commission if necessary.
