How to cancel Cricut access in the philippines and stop recurring charges
Understanding Cricut and what you're paying for
Cricut is a design and cutting platform that millions of creative professionals and hobbyists rely on, but what most users in the Philippines actually pay for is Cricut Access, the recurring subscription that unlocks premium content.
Cricut, Inc. operates from South Jordan, Utah, and serves customers across the Philippines through its website and mobile applications. You can use Cricut Design Space at no cost, but access to over 1.5 million premium images, 1,000 plus fonts, and 100,000 plus ready-made projects sits behind a paywall. That is where the subscription charge begins.
What you pay for each month
Cricut Access comes in two subscription tiers available in the Philippines, and your cost depends on where you subscribed. Most users pay either ₱549.00 per month for Standard Access or ₱2,990.00 annually for the same tier. If you chose Premium, the annual cost is ₱1,790.00, which includes stronger discounts on licensed designs and free economy shipping on orders exceeding ₱2,850.
For casual crafters who cut a few projects monthly, this subscription can feel expensive. For side hustlers running sticker, invitation, or souvenir businesses, the library and time savings often justify the recurring fee. The key question is whether you are using it enough to make those charges worthwhile.
How billing works in the philippines
Cricut bills you through whichever platform you used to subscribe: the Cricut website, Apple App Store, or Google Play. The company does not offer a local cancellation address or Philippine mailing option, which is why your cancellation method matters. You must cancel through the same channel where you signed up, or your renewal charges will continue without interruption.
Cricut's support team operates Monday to Friday, 9 AM to 8 PM Eastern Standard Time, which often falls outside normal Philippine business hours. This timing gap has frustrated many local users trying to reach customer service. At Yafee, we have helped thousands of consumers navigate this exact challenge, so you are not alone in finding the process unclear.
Why consumers in the philippines cancel Cricut
Understanding the most common reasons people cancel helps you decide whether it is the right move for your situation.
Common reasons to cancel
- You are not using the premium features enough to justify ₱549.00 per month or ₱2,990.00 annually.
- You subscribed by accident or during a free trial and were not aware of auto-renewal terms.
- You have completed a craft project and no longer need the subscription.
- The free tier of Design Space meets your current needs.
- You found cheaper or better alternatives to Cricut Access.
- Support is difficult to reach during Philippine business hours, making it frustrating to resolve issues.
Reasons to keep your subscription
- You cut multiple projects every week and rely on the premium image library.
- The 10 percent discount on machine and material purchases adds up over time.
- Ready-made projects save you design time when you are working on tight deadlines.
- You run a craft-based side business and need the content access to stay competitive.
Your consumer rights under philippine law
The Consumer Act of the Philippines (Republic Act No. 7394) protects you when dealing with subscription services, and understanding these rights strengthens your position if Cricut resists your cancellation or refund request.
What the law says about subscriptions and billing
Under the Consumer Act of the Philippines, you have the right to fair and honest dealing. This means Cricut must clearly disclose the subscription terms, billing date, auto-renewal policy, and cancellation process before you pay. If the company made it difficult to find cancellation information or buried the auto-renewal clause in lengthy terms, they have violated your rights.
The law also requires that cancellation be as simple as the original subscription process. If Cricut made you sign up with one click but requires you to call support or fill out a form to cancel, that is a breach of consumer protection standards. Furthermore, Cricut must honour your cancellation request within 30 days and process any eligible refunds promptly.
Your legal position
You have the right to cancel your Cricut Access subscription at any time for any reason. Cricut cannot force you to maintain the subscription or charge you penalties for cancelling before the billing cycle ends. If you cancel and are charged again, you can file a dispute with your bank or payment provider, or lodge a complaint with the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) Consumer Hotline at 1-386 (local toll-free). At Yafee, we recommend documenting all cancellation attempts and keeping receipts of disputed charges.
Cancellation methods available to you
Your cancellation method depends entirely on where you purchased your Cricut Access subscription.
Method one: cancel through the Cricut website
If you subscribed directly through Cricut's website using a credit card, debit card, or PayPal, this is your primary cancellation channel. Access to your account is available 24 hours a day, and you can complete cancellation in under five minutes.
Method two: cancel through the apple app store
If you subscribed through an iPhone or iPad, your subscription is managed by Apple, not Cricut directly. You must cancel through the App Store settings on your device or via your Apple ID account.
Method three: cancel through google play
If you subscribed through an Android device, Google Play manages your subscription. Cancellation happens through the Google Play Store app or your Google account settings, not through the Cricut app itself.

What happens after you cancel Cricut access
Cancelling your subscription does not immediately remove your access. Understanding the timeline and what you retain helps you plan your next steps.
Your access during the notice period
When you cancel Cricut Access, your premium features remain active until the end of your current billing period. If your renewal date is May 15 and you cancel on May 1, you keep full premium access until May 14. You do not lose access early, and you are not refunded the portion you have already paid. Consequently, you can continue using premium images, fonts, and ready-made projects until your last day of access.
What you lose after cancellation
Once your access ends, you lose the ability to download new premium images, access ready-made projects, and apply machine discounts. Your free Design Space account remains active, and any projects you created stay in your account. You can still view and edit designs using free fonts and graphics, but you cannot access premium content or export designs that use premium elements unless you resubscribe.
Resubscribing to Cricut access
If you cancel and later decide you need Cricut Access again, you can resubscribe through the same method at any time. Cricut often offers promotional discounts to returning customers. At Yafee, we recommend waiting a few weeks after cancellation to see if Cricut sends you a special offer before resubscribing.
Refunds and billing disputes
Understanding your refund rights prevents you from losing money on unintended charges.
When you are eligible for a refund
Under the Consumer Act of the Philippines, you are entitled to a refund if Cricut charged you after you cancelled, or if you cancelled within 14 days of the initial charge and did not use the service substantially. If you cancel on May 1 and Cricut charges you again on May 15, you have a strong case for a refund of that charge.
How to request a refund
Contact your payment provider first. If you paid by credit card, debit card, or PayPal, your bank or payment processor can reverse unauthorized charges. Log into your bank's app or website, find the Cricut charge, and mark it as a dispute or unauthorized transaction. Your bank will investigate within 30 days and typically refund you within 5 to 10 business days.
If the charge was through Apple App Store or Google Play, contact Apple or Google directly. Both platforms have refund policies for accidental or unwanted purchases. Furthermore, you can escalate to the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) Consumer Hotline at 1-386 if your payment provider or Cricut refuses to refund you.
Documenting your claim
Keep copies of the following to support a refund dispute:
- Your cancellation confirmation email from Cricut, Apple, or Google.
- Screenshots of your cancellation request and confirmation screen.
- Bank statements or payment app screenshots showing the disputed charge.
- Any correspondence with Cricut support or your bank.
- Your account login history showing you did not log in after cancellation.

Common mistakes people make when cancelling Cricut
You are not alone if you have made one of these errors. Knowing what to avoid ensures your cancellation sticks and protects you from unwanted charges.
Mistake one: cancelling through the wrong channel
If you subscribed via Apple App Store but tried to cancel through the Cricut website, your cancellation will not work. The two systems do not communicate. You must cancel through the exact platform where you signed up. Check your original confirmation email or your payment provider's statement to identify the correct channel.
Mistake two: assuming the app cancellation means website cancellation
Deleting the Cricut app from your phone does not cancel your subscription. Uninstalling an app is not the same as cancelling the subscription attached to it. You must cancel through your device settings or account, not by deleting the app.
Mistake three: not saving cancellation confirmation
If Cricut charges you again after cancellation, you need proof that you cancelled. Screenshots and emails are your only evidence. Without them, your bank cannot investigate the dispute effectively. Always take a screenshot and save the confirmation email.
Mistake four: cancelling mid-billing cycle expecting an immediate refund
Cricut does not issue refunds for cancellations made mid-cycle in most cases. You keep access until the end of your current billing period, but you do not get money back for the unused portion. If you are charged again after the cancellation date, that charge is disputable.
Mistake five: assuming 24-hour cancellation without confirmation
Cancellation requests are not instant. It can take up to 48 hours for your cancellation to appear in your subscription status. Wait at least two business days before assuming something went wrong. Check your email and account settings after 48 hours to confirm the status.
Checklist for successful cancellation

Cricut customer support contact information
Cricut's support team operates Monday to Friday, 9 AM to 8 PM Eastern Standard Time. This translates to approximately 10 PM to 9 AM Philippine Standard Time, which may not align with your business hours. Consequently, email is often more practical for Philippines-based customers.
Contact Cricut at [email protected] and include the following in your message:
- Your account email address and username.
- The date you cancelled.
- Screenshot of your cancellation confirmation.
- Details of any charges after your cancellation date.
- Your preferred resolution (refund or confirmation of cancellation).
Expect a response within 5 to 7 business days. If Cricut does not resolve your issue within 30 days, file a complaint with the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) Consumer Hotline at 1-386 (local toll-free) or visit the DTI website at dti.gov.ph.
Escalation to the department of trade and industry
The DTI enforces the Consumer Act of the Philippines and investigates complaints against companies that violate consumer rights. If Cricut refuses to cancel your subscription or process a refund for a disputed charge, you have the right to file a formal complaint. The DTI will contact Cricut on your behalf and mandate a resolution within a specified timeframe.
Summary and your next steps
Cancelling Cricut Access in the Philippines is straightforward once you know which platform you used and follow the correct steps for that channel. Your subscription remains active until the end of your current billing period, so you lose nothing by cancelling today if you decide the cost no longer justifies the benefits.
Document your cancellation with screenshots and emails, monitor your bank for unexpected charges after your access ends, and escalate to the DTI if Cricut refuses to honour your cancellation. Your consumer rights under the Consumer Act of the Philippines protect you in all scenarios: the company must cancel your subscription promptly and refund any unauthorised charges within 30 days.
