How to cancel Linkvertise and stop recurring charges in the philippines
What Linkvertise is and why you should cancel
Linkvertise is a link monetization platform run by Linkvertise GmbH & Co. KG, a German company that inserts advertisements, waiting pages, and extra redirects before visitors reach their destination. You may have signed up for Linkvertise Premium to remove these interruptions and access content faster. The problem arises when the monthly fee-typically around ₱519 PHP or higher-continues to charge your account long after you stop using the service. Yafee specializes in helping consumers navigate exactly this scenario, and we have outlined every cancellation method below so you regain control of your subscription.
Understanding the Linkvertise premium service
Linkvertise operates on a freemium model. Free users see ads and waiting pages; Premium subscribers pay a monthly recurring fee to skip these interruptions. The platform is web-based only, which means you cannot find an official Linkvertise app in the Google Play Store or Apple App Store in the Philippines. Your subscription lives inside your Linkvertise account, not in your phone's app billing settings. This distinction matters because you must cancel directly through Linkvertise, not through your device.
The company is registered in Itzehoe, Schleswig-Holstein, Germany. Your contract is governed by German law and Philippine consumer protection frameworks. Linkvertise does advertise a 30-day money-back guarantee on Premium subscriptions, which serves as your first safety net if you cancel within that window.
Pricing and billing cycles
Linkvertise Premium charges a monthly subscription fee, typically equivalent to approximately $9.99 USD or ₱519 PHP, though exact pricing in Philippine pesos is not always displayed upfront on their website. Your subscription renews automatically on the same date each month unless you cancel before the renewal date. Many Filipino users underestimate how these charges accumulate: a monthly fee forgotten for twelve months totals over ₱6,000 PHP in unwanted charges. Your first step is always to verify your current billing amount by logging into your account settings.
Your consumer rights under philippine law
The Consumer Act of the Philippines (Republic Act No. 7394) grants you specific protections when you purchase any service, including digital subscriptions.
What philippine law guarantees you
Under the Consumer Act, you have the right to receive truthful information about what you are buying. If Linkvertise misrepresents its cancellation process, hides fees in small print, or makes cancellation deliberately difficult, those actions violate your consumer rights. You also have the right to cancel within a reasonable period if the service does not perform as promised. The 30-day money-back guarantee that Linkvertise itself offers actually strengthens your legal position because it acknowledges your right to reverse the purchase.
Yafee advises you to keep screenshots of your account settings, billing emails, and any communications with Linkvertise support. These documents form your evidence if you need to file a formal complaint later. Your consumer protection rights are not optional-they exist to protect you regardless of what Linkvertise's terms state.
Your legal position when cancellation fails
If you cancel Linkvertise correctly and the company continues to charge you, Philippine law entitles you to dispute the charge through multiple channels. First, contact your payment provider: if you paid by credit card, your bank's dispute resolution team can reverse unauthorized charges. If you used GCash, Maya, or another Philippine digital wallet, those platforms have their own fraud and billing dispute processes. Second, you can escalate to the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP), the central bank, if your bank card or digital wallet continues to deduct money after cancellation. Third, file a complaint with the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) Consumer Protection Group, which handles breaches of the Consumer Act. You do not need a lawyer; both the BSP and DTI accept consumer complaints at no cost.
File your complaint within 30 days of the unwanted charge, though you have up to 6 months to escalate. Keep your complaint short: describe what you cancelled, when, and the unauthorized charges that followed. Attach your screenshots as evidence.
Methods to cancel Linkvertise premium
Linkvertise offers multiple cancellation routes, and Yafee has documented each one so you choose the fastest path for your situation.
Cancel through your Linkvertise account dashboard
This is the primary method and the one Linkvertise prefers because it is logged and traceable. Follow these steps:
- Log into your Linkvertise account at linkvertise.com with your email and password.
- Navigate to Settings or Account Settings, usually found in the top-right menu or sidebar.
- Look for a Subscription, Billing, or Membership section.
- Locate the Cancel Subscription or Downgrade button.
- Confirm your cancellation by clicking the final confirmation prompt.
- Screenshot the confirmation page showing your cancellation is complete.
- Check your email for a cancellation confirmation from Linkvertise within 24 hours.
This method works because you receive an immediate on-screen confirmation and a follow-up email. Your account reverts to the free plan, and billing stops at the end of your current billing cycle.
Cancel by contacting Linkvertise support
If you cannot find the cancellation button in your dashboard, email Linkvertise directly. Use this approach:
- Visit linkvertise.com and look for a Contact Us or Support link, usually in the footer.
- Click the support form and select Billing or Subscription as the issue category.
- Write a clear subject line: "Cancel my Linkvertise Premium subscription."
- In your message, include your account email, the date you want cancellation to take effect, and a request for a cancellation confirmation.
- Send the form and save the confirmation that the support team received your request.
- Watch your inbox for a response within 2-3 business days.
- Reply to their response asking for written confirmation of your cancellation date.
Support cancellations are valuable because they create a timestamped record. Yafee recommends this method if you have already been charged unfairly or if the dashboard cancellation button does not work.
Dispute the charge with your bank or payment provider
If Linkvertise continues to charge you after you cancel, or if the company refuses to acknowledge your cancellation, you can reverse the charge through your payment method:
- Log into your credit card, debit card, or digital wallet account.
- Find the transaction history or statements section.
- Locate the Linkvertise charge and note the exact date, amount, and merchant name.
- Click on the transaction and select Report as Fraudulent or Dispute This Charge.
- Explain that you cancelled the subscription but were still charged.
- Attach your cancellation confirmation email or screenshot from Step 6 in the dashboard cancellation process.
- Submit your dispute.
Your bank or digital wallet will investigate within 7-14 days. Once they confirm you cancelled, they will typically refund the disputed amount. This method protects you because it operates independently of Linkvertise's response.
Escalate to the DTI or BSP if needed
If Linkvertise refuses to cancel or your bank dispute is denied, escalate to a Philippine consumer authority:
- Gather all evidence: cancellation request emails, bank statements showing repeated charges, screenshots from your Linkvertise dashboard, and any support responses.
- Visit the DTI website (dti.gov.ph) and navigate to the Consumer Protection Group (CPG) complaints portal.
- Fill out the complaint form with your personal details, Linkvertise's details (company address: Linkvertise GmbH & Co. KG, Itzehoe, Schleswig-Holstein, Germany), and a description of the unauthorized charges.
- Attach your evidence files as PDFs or image files.
- Submit your complaint and note the reference number the DTI provides.
- The DTI will contact Linkvertise and require them to respond within 15 days.
- Check your DTI portal for updates; the complaint process typically resolves within 30-60 days.
The DTI has authority to compel refunds and impose penalties on companies that breach consumer law. Yafee has seen many users resolve persistent billing disputes through this route when the company initially refused.

Step-by-step cancellation process for philippines users
Yafee walks you through the complete cancellation from start to finish so you do not miss any critical steps.
Step one: verify your current subscription status
Log into your Linkvertise account right now and confirm you are paying for Premium. Navigate to your account settings and screenshot your billing section. Note the renewal date (the day you are next charged), the amount charged per month, and the payment method on file. If you cannot log in, reset your password using the Forgot Password link on the Linkvertise login page. This verification step prevents you from cancelling the wrong subscription or discovering you were never charged at all.
Step two: cancel through the dashboard (fastest method)
With your login confirmed, go to Settings, find the Subscription or Billing section, and click Cancel Subscription. Follow all prompts, including any surveys asking why you are leaving. You must reach a final confirmation screen that states your cancellation is complete. Screenshot this page immediately. This screenshot is your proof of cancellation and is essential if you later need to dispute a charge.
Step three: check your email for confirmation
Within 2 hours, Linkvertise should send you a confirmation email from [email protected] or their support team email. This email will state the cancellation is effective and when your billing stops. If you do not receive an email within 24 hours, your cancellation may not have processed. Contact support immediately using the method described above.
Step four: wait for your billing cycle to end
Cancellation becomes effective at the end of your current billing period. If you are charged on the 15th of each month and you cancel on the 10th, your account remains active until the 15th, at which point billing stops. You will not see a refund for this final month unless you request one and you cancelled within 30 days. Do not cancel multiple times or submit duplicate cancellation requests, as this confuses the system.
Step five: verify the charge stops
Monitor your bank account or digital wallet for 5-7 days after your billing cycle end date. If Linkvertise charges you again after that date, you have concrete evidence of a billing error. Take a screenshot of the unauthorized charge with the date and amount visible.
Step six: escalate if charges continue
If an unauthorized charge appears, contact your bank or digital wallet immediately and file a dispute. Provide your cancellation confirmation email and the screenshot of the unauthorized charge. Most banks reverse these charges within 7-14 days. If your bank denies the dispute, file a complaint with the DTI as described in the Methods section above.
Refunds and what to expect after cancellation
Linkvertise's refund policy depends on when you cancel relative to your purchase date.
Refunds within 30 days of purchase
If you signed up for Linkvertise Premium and cancelled within 30 days, you qualify for a full refund of your Premium fee. To claim this refund, send a support email (as described above) that explicitly states: "I am requesting a refund under your 30-day money-back guarantee." Include your account email, the date you purchased Premium, the date you cancelled, and your preferred refund method (credit card reversal or digital wallet). Linkvertise typically processes refunds within 5-10 business days. Watch your account to confirm the refund appears.
Refunds after 30 days
Once 30 days have passed since your initial purchase, Linkvertise does not automatically refund the monthly fee when you cancel. However, cancellation immediately stops all future charges. You do not owe anything after you cancel; you simply lose access to Premium features. If you believe you were overcharged or charged unfairly (for example, Linkvertise failed to deliver the promised service), you can file a complaint with the DTI citing breach of contract or unfair trade practices under the Consumer Act.
Tracking your refund status
After you request a refund, log into your Linkvertise account and check whether your plan has downgraded to Free. If it has, the cancellation is confirmed. Then check your payment method: if you paid by credit card, your bank statement should show a credit or reversal within 10 days. If you paid by GCash or Maya, check your wallet transaction history for a refund entry. If the refund does not appear within 14 days, contact your bank or digital wallet support and ask them to trace the refund status with Linkvertise.
Common mistakes when cancelling Linkvertise
Cancellation is straightforward, but Yafee has observed patterns in how users stumble. Avoid these pitfalls so your cancellation sticks first time.
Not taking a screenshot of your cancellation confirmation
After you click Cancel Subscription, the on-screen confirmation disappears if you close your browser. Without a screenshot, you have no proof you cancelled if a dispute arises. Always screenshot the confirmation page and save it to your phone or computer with today's date in the filename (for example, "Linkvertise_cancellation_20240115.png"). This evidence is invaluable if you need to escalate to your bank or the DTI.
Cancelling just before your billing date
If you cancel on the 14th and you are billed on the 15th, Linkvertise may still process the charge because your cancellation has not yet taken effect. Always cancel at least 3-5 days before your renewal date to ensure the system processes your cancellation before the charge attempts. Check your renewal date in your account settings before you cancel.
Assuming your cancellation is complete without email confirmation
An on-screen message says your cancellation is complete, but Linkvertise may not have actually processed it if the email confirmation does not arrive. Wait 24 hours. If you receive no email, log back into your account and check whether the Cancel Subscription button still appears (it should not) or whether your plan still shows Premium (it should show Free). If Premium is still active, contact support immediately.
Filing multiple disputes with your bank
After you cancel, do not panic and immediately file three separate disputes with your bank for the same charge. Multiple disputes confuse the investigation and can delay resolution. File one dispute, wait for your bank to respond, and only escalate to the DTI if the dispute is denied. Yafee advises patience here; bank investigations typically take 7-14 days, and premature escalation wastes time.
Not checking your account after cancellation
Your cancellation is not set in stone until you see the Free plan active in your account for a full billing cycle. Log in 5 days after your expected cancellation date and confirm your plan shows Free, not Premium. If Premium is still active, contact support before you are charged again.
What happens after you cancel Linkvertise
Cancellation is not the end of the process; you must verify that it worked and that no unauthorized charges occur.
Your account after cancellation
Once your cancellation is effective, your Linkvertise account reverts to the Free plan. You can still log in and use Linkvertise's free features (if any), but all Premium benefits (ad removal, faster loading) disappear immediately. You will see ads and waiting pages again if you use the service. Your account is not deleted; you can reactivate Premium at any time if you wish, though a new subscription starts fresh with a new billing date.
Verifying no charges recur
Monitor your bank account or digital wallet for two full billing cycles after cancellation (approximately 60 days). If Linkvertise charges you again after your cancellation date, this is an unauthorized charge and you have the right to dispute it. Yafee recommends setting a phone reminder to check your account on your old renewal date plus 5 days, just to be certain.
Stopping related subscriptions or linked accounts
If you signed up for Linkvertise Premium through a third-party platform or a bundled subscription service, cancelling Linkvertise Premium alone may not stop those related charges. Check your email for any promotional offers or bundle confirmations you received when you first signed up. If you purchased Premium through a partner service, you may need to cancel within that partner platform as well. Yafee advises searching your email for "Linkvertise" and "receipt" to identify all active charges tied to your account.
