How to cancel your Lifetime movie club subscription and stop unwanted charges
What Lifetime movie club is and why cancellation matters
Lifetime Movie Club is a subscription streaming service operated by A&E Networks that delivers commercial-free movies, themed collections, and regularly updated content to subscribers across the United States. The service offers flexibility through monthly ($4.99) and annual ($49.99) billing cycles, plus a bundled option combining multiple A&E streaming properties for $9.99 per month. Like most streaming platforms, your subscription auto-renews unless you actively cancel, which means charges continue rolling in month after month until you take action.
The core issue many Lifetime Movie Club subscribers face is that cancellation attempts often fail silently or feel unclear-you think you have cancelled, but the charges keep appearing on your credit card or bank statement. At Yafee, we walk you through the exact steps to cancel, what to do if billing continues, and your legal protections if Lifetime refuses to stop charging you. Yafee has helped thousands of consumers navigate subscription cancellations with clarity and confidence.
Why subscribers typically cancel
Customer feedback across review platforms reveals a consistent pattern: people cancel Lifetime Movie Club for one of three reasons. First, the content library feels limited compared to what they expected for the monthly cost. Second, they signed up for a free trial and forgot to cancel before being charged. Third, they are consolidating streaming services and need to cut spending. Whatever your reason, this guide ensures you cancel without friction or surprise charges.
The subscription auto-renewal trap
Lifetime Movie Club auto-renews on your billing date by default. This means if you subscribed on the 15th of the month, you will be charged automatically every 15th unless you cancel before that date arrives. Many customers miss this timing window and then spend weeks trying to get a refund. The sooner you cancel, the sooner you can avoid your next billing cycle.
Understanding your Lifetime movie club pricing and billing cycle
Your cancellation takes effect at the end of your current billing period, not immediately, so understanding your exact plan and billing date is essential before you proceed.

Where your subscription is managed
Your Lifetime Movie Club account is managed through the official Lifetime Movie Club website at lifetimemovieclub.com. If you subscribed through a third-party app store (like Apple App Store, Google Play, or Amazon), your billing is technically handled by that platform, not directly by Lifetime-which means your cancellation instructions will differ. Check your most recent email receipt or credit card statement to identify exactly where you signed up, because this determines your cancellation method.
Your legal position and consumer protections
Your right to cancel a subscription is protected under federal law and state consumer protection statutes.
The restore online shoppers confidence act (ROSCA) and your rights
The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) enforces the Restore Online Shoppers Confidence Act, which prohibits negative option features (like auto-renewal charges) unless companies obtain your clear and affirmative consent beforehand. ROSCA requires that Lifetime Movie Club provide you with simple mechanisms to cancel-either on the website where you signed up or through clear customer service channels. In practice, this means you have the statutory right to cancel without jumping through excessive hoops or speaking to a sales representative who tries to convince you to stay.
Furthermore, the FTC mandates that companies must honor cancellation requests promptly. If you cancel your Lifetime Movie Club subscription, charges must stop at the end of your current billing period. If Lifetime continues to bill you after you have cancelled, you have grounds to dispute the charge with your bank or credit card issuer.
State laws and additional protections
Many U.S. states, including California, New York, and Illinois, have enacted their own negative option laws that strengthen ROSCA protections. California's law, for example, requires companies to confirm your cancellation in writing and to make cancellation "at least as easy" as signing up. These laws exist specifically because consumers like you struggled with predatory auto-renewal practices.
If Lifetime refuses to cancel your subscription or continues billing you, you can escalate your complaint to the FTC at reportfraud.ftc.gov or to your state's Attorney General office. Yafee recommends documenting all cancellation attempts, dates, and communications, as this evidence strengthens any complaint you file.

What happens after you cancel your Lifetime movie club subscription
Cancellation is not immediate-understanding the timeline prevents confusion and protects you from unexpected charges.
Your access period after cancellation
Once you confirm cancellation, you retain full access to Lifetime Movie Club content until the end of your current billing period. For example, if you subscribed on the 15th of the month and cancel on the 20th, you can continue watching until the 15th of the next month. After that date, Lifetime will disable your account and you will no longer be able to stream content.
Monitoring your bank statement
After your billing period ends, verify that Lifetime Movie Club has stopped charging you. Check your credit card or bank statement approximately one week after your access cutoff date. If you see a charge after your cancellation date, this indicates a billing error. At Yafee, we recommend keeping your cancellation confirmation email handy so you can dispute the charge immediately with your bank if necessary.
Refunds and what to expect
Lifetime Movie Club operates on a use-through-the-end-of-billing-period model, which means refunds for partial months are generally not available unless you qualify under specific circumstances.
When refunds may apply
You may be eligible for a refund if you cancel within a specific window after initial purchase (typically within seven to 30 days, depending on your state and how you subscribed). If you subscribed through Apple App Store, Google Play, or Amazon, those platforms have their own refund policies that may differ from Lifetime's policy. Check your app store's refund guidelines, as you may request a refund through them instead of through Lifetime.
If you discover unauthorized charges on your account (meaning someone else subscribed without your permission), you have a stronger case for a refund. Contact Lifetime Movie Club support and reference the FTC's ROSCA protections, which prohibit charges without clear consent.
Disputing a charge with your bank
If Lifetime continues to bill you after you have cancelled, or if you believe the charge was unauthorized, you have the right to dispute it with your bank or credit card issuer. Contact your financial institution and provide them with your cancellation confirmation email and a statement of the unauthorized or unwanted charges. Your bank will initiate a dispute investigation and may issue a temporary credit while the investigation proceeds. This process typically takes 30 to 60 days.
Common cancellation mistakes and how to avoid them
Most cancellation failures stem from avoidable mistakes-knowing these pitfalls in advance protects you from prolonged unwanted charges.
Mistake one: confusing account deactivation with cancellation
Some subscribers assume that simply not using Lifetime Movie Club or deleting the app cancels their subscription. This does not work. Your account remains active and billing continues. You must explicitly click "Cancel Subscription" through your account settings or the third-party platform where you subscribed. Deactivating or ignoring your account has no effect on billing.
Mistake two: timing your cancellation too close to your billing date
If your billing date is the 15th and you cancel on the 14th, Lifetime may still process the charge for that month if the billing cycle has already started. To be safe, cancel at least five to seven business days before your next billing date. Your cancellation confirmation email will specify the exact date your access ends and when charges stop.
Mistake three: not saving your cancellation confirmation
After you confirm cancellation, take a screenshot or save your confirmation email immediately. If a dispute arises or Lifetime claims you never cancelled, this email is your legal proof. Yafee strongly advises keeping this confirmation for at least 12 months after your subscription ends.
Mistake four: cancelling through customer service instead of your account
Calling or emailing Lifetime Movie Club support to request cancellation is slower and creates ambiguity about whether the request was properly processed. Always cancel directly through your account settings or the third-party platform. If you must contact support, follow up with a direct cancellation through your account to ensure it is processed immediately.

If Lifetime Movie Club refuses to cancel your subscription or continues billing you after cancellation, you have legal remedies.
Step one: document all communication
- Gather all cancellation emails, confirmation numbers, and billing statements showing unauthorized charges.
- Create a timeline of when you cancelled and when charges continued.
- Take screenshots of your account settings if they still show an active subscription after you cancelled.
- These screenshots prove the company failed to process your cancellation.
Step two: contact Lifetime movie club support formally
- Send a written cancellation request to Lifetime's support address (see section below).
- Use certified mail so you have proof of delivery.
- State clearly that you are cancelling your subscription effective immediately and that you do not authorize further charges.
- Specify the unauthorized charges and request a refund for any amount charged after your cancellation.
- Include your account number, email, and original subscription date.
Step three: dispute the charge with your bank
- Contact your credit card issuer or bank and request a dispute (also called a chargeback).
- Provide your bank with your cancellation confirmation and proof of unauthorized charges.
- Your bank will investigate and may issue a provisional credit while they determine liability.
Step four: file a complaint with the federal trade commission
- Visit reportfraud.ftc.gov and file a complaint about Lifetime Movie Club's billing practices.
- Describe your cancellation attempt, the unauthorized charges, and Lifetime's refusal to refund.
- The FTC uses these complaints to identify patterns and may take enforcement action against the company.
- You can also file a complaint with your state's Attorney General office (search "[your state] Attorney General" plus "consumer complaints").
- Many state Attorneys General have recovered funds for consumers defrauded by subscription services.
Use these addresses and channels to cancel or escalate if Lifetime refuses to honour your cancellation request.
