Frequently asked questions
Cancel Daily Burn: Step-by-Step Guide
How to cancel Daily Burn in south africa: your complete legal guide and refund options
What Daily Burn is and why south africans cancel
Daily Burn is a subscription-based fitness streaming platform that delivers on-demand workout videos directly to your device. You access personalised exercise routines-including strength training, cardio, mobility work and beginner-friendly sessions-through your web browser, iOS app, Android app or compatible smart TV. The service charges you on a recurring billing cycle until you actively cancel your membership.
Many South African subscribers sign up with genuine fitness intentions but later discover the service doesn't align with their budget, lifestyle or workout preferences. The decision to cancel is common and straightforward once you understand your legal rights and the exact cancellation process. Yafee has reviewed hundreds of cancellation requests and found that speed of action directly impacts your refund eligibility.
How Daily Burn bills your account
Your billing method depends entirely on where you created your membership. If you signed up directly at DailyBurn.com, Daily Burn charges you directly to your South African payment method. If you subscribed through Apple App Store, Google Play, Roku, Amazon or Xfinity, that third-party platform handles all billing and renewal-not Daily Burn itself. This distinction is critical for cancellation, refunds and customer service escalation. You must cancel through the same channel where you subscribed.
Why your timing determines your refund
Daily Burn charges you at the start of each billing period. Cancellation does not take effect immediately; your access continues until your current billing cycle ends. If you delay cancellation by even a few days, you will be charged for another full period. Yafee strongly recommends submitting your cancellation request the moment you decide the service is no longer right for you.
Your consumer rights under south african law
South Africa's Consumer Protection Act (No. 68 of 2008) sets out your statutory rights when cancelling subscription services.
The 30-day cooling-off period and your legal position
Your legal position: If you subscribed directly on DailyBurn.com and paid within the last 30 days, you hold a statutory right to request a full refund under section 16 of the Consumer Protection Act, which protects distance transactions. Daily Burn honours this right through its 30-day money-back guarantee. You must submit your refund claim to [email protected] within 30 calendar days of sign-up. After 30 days, refunds for direct web sign-ups are not issued-only cancellation of future charges applies.
The Consumer Protection Act requires suppliers to provide clear cancellation terms before you pay. If Daily Burn did not disclose these terms upfront, you may have grounds to request a refund even outside the 30-day window. Document any evidence that cancellation terms were not clearly presented at sign-up.
Third-party platform refund policies
If you subscribed via Apple, Google Play or another platform, the Consumer Protection Act still protects you, but the platform's own refund policy applies in addition. Apple typically honours refund requests within 48 hours if submitted within 14 days of purchase. Google Play allows refunds within 48 hours of subscription start. Yafee advises documenting your subscription date, the amount charged and your reason for cancellation when you request a refund from the platform-this evidence strengthens your claim if you need to escalate to the National Consumer Commission (NCC).
Daily Burn pricing and subscription plans
Daily Burn offers multiple tiers in South Africa; prices vary depending on your sign-up channel and local tax treatment.
| Plan type | Typical price (ZAR) | Billing cycle | Key features | Cancellation eligibility |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Monthly membership | R99-R129 | Monthly | Full video library, personalised plans, community access | Cancel anytime; 30-day refund window applies |
| Annual membership | R899-R1,099 | 12 months | Full library, discounted rate, premium features | Cancel anytime; 30-day refund applies |
| Free trial | R0 (then charged) | 7-14 days | Limited video access | Must cancel before trial expires to avoid first charge |
Action: Check your bank statement or payment app now to confirm the exact amount Daily Burn charged you and the date of your first charge. This information is essential for your cancellation and refund claim.
How to cancel Daily Burn: step-by-step for each sign-up method
Your cancellation process depends on where you created your account; follow the method that matches your sign-up channel.
Cancel if you signed up directly on DailyBurn.com
Direct web sign-ups are handled by Daily Burn's own customer service team.
- Log in to your Daily Burn account at DailyBurn.com using your email and password.
- If you have forgotten your password, click "Forgot password" and follow the reset email sent to your inbox.
- Navigate to your account settings, typically found in the top-right menu or under "Profile" or "My Account".
- Look for a "Subscriptions", "Billing" or "Account" section.
- Select "Cancel subscription" or "Manage billing".
- Daily Burn will display your current plan, renewal date and billing method.
- Click the "Cancel" button and confirm your decision when prompted.
- Daily Burn will ask you to select a reason for cancellation; provide honest feedback if you wish.
- You may see a discount or retention offer; decline it if you are certain you want to leave.
- You will receive a confirmation email confirming cancellation. Screenshot or save this email as proof.
- Your access will remain active until the end of your current billing period.
- You will not be charged after your current cycle ends.
- To request a 30-day refund, reply to the cancellation confirmation email or email [email protected] within 30 days of your original sign-up date.
- State: "I am requesting a refund under the 30-day money-back guarantee and South Africa's Consumer Protection Act, section 16."
- Include your order number, sign-up date and amount paid.
- Yafee recommends sending this request within 48 hours of cancelling to ensure your refund is processed before the 30-day deadline.
Cancel if you subscribed via apple app store (iOS)
Apple manages billing and cancellation for App Store subscriptions; you do not cancel through Daily Burn.
- On your iPhone or iPad, open the Settings app.
- Tap your name at the top of the screen.
- Select "Subscriptions" or "Media and Purchases".
- Tap "Subscriptions" if you see this option; if not, tap "iTunes and App Store" first, then "Subscriptions".
- Find Daily Burn in your active subscriptions list and tap it.
- If Daily Burn does not appear, scroll down to check "Expired" subscriptions.
- Tap "Cancel Subscription" or "Edit Subscription".
- Apple will confirm your cancellation and show your access end date.
- Request a refund by opening the App Store, tapping your profile picture, selecting "Purchases", finding Daily Burn and tapping "Report a Problem".
- Select "I would like a refund for this purchase" and explain your reason briefly.
- Apple processes refunds within 48 hours if submitted within 14 days of purchase.
- If Apple denies your first refund request, resubmit and cite the Consumer Protection Act: "This purchase does not meet my expectations and I am requesting a refund under South African consumer law."
- Save all confirmation emails from Apple as proof of your cancellation and refund request.
- If Apple refuses your refund after a second request, escalate to the National Consumer Commission (NCC) at www.thencc.org.za or email [email protected].
Cancel if you subscribed via google play (Android)
Google Play manages all Android app billing; cancellation is handled through your Google account, not Daily Burn directly.
- On your Android device, open the Google Play Store app.
- Tap your profile icon in the top-right corner.
- Select "Payments and subscriptions", then "Subscriptions".
- You will see a list of all active subscriptions tied to your Google account.
- Tap Daily Burn in the list.
- Review your billing date and the amount charged.
- Tap "Cancel subscription" and confirm when prompted.
- Google Play will confirm cancellation; your access ends on your next billing date.
- Request a refund by opening Google Play, navigating to "Account", selecting "Order history" and finding the Daily Burn charge.
- Tap "Report a problem", select "Request refund" and provide a brief reason.
- Google typically processes refunds within 48 hours if submitted within 48 hours of purchase.
- Document all confirmation messages and refund responses.
- If Google refuses your refund, you can escalate to the NCC, citing the Consumer Protection Act and providing proof of your refund request.
Cancel if you subscribed via roku, amazon or other platforms
Subscriptions purchased through Roku, Amazon Prime Video or other platforms are managed by those services, not by Daily Burn.
- Log in to the platform where you subscribed (Roku.com, Amazon.com, etc.).
- Navigate to "Account", "Subscriptions" or "Manage Subscriptions".
- Find Daily Burn in your active subscriptions.
- Select it and click "Cancel" or "Unsubscribe".
- Confirm your cancellation.
- You will receive a confirmation email with your cancellation date.
- Request a refund directly from the platform using the same refund request process as Apple or Google Play.
- If the platform refuses, contact Daily Burn's support team separately ([email protected]) to inform them of your cancellation and request a refund as a courtesy-some platforms delay refund decisions, and Daily Burn may issue a refund independently.
- Yafee recommends contacting [email protected] within 30 days of sign-up if the platform denies your refund request, citing your cancellation date and the 30-day money-back guarantee.
- Provide your account email, the platform you used and the refund request confirmation from the third-party platform.
What happens after you cancel your Daily Burn subscription
Cancellation is final, but your access does not stop immediately-understanding what happens next prevents confusion and helps you plan your fitness routine.
Your access and billing after cancellation
Once you cancel, Daily Burn will not charge you again after your current billing period expires. You retain full access to all content until the end of that cycle. For example, if you pay monthly on the 15th and cancel on the 20th, you can continue using Daily Burn until the 15th of the next month, when your subscription officially ends and your access is removed.
No refund is issued for the unused portion of your current billing period unless you are within the 30-day cooling-off window. After 30 days, the only way to recover funds is to escalate to the National Consumer Commission if you can prove Daily Burn breached the Consumer Protection Act-for instance, by failing to disclose cancellation terms upfront or charging without consent.
Refund timelines and your escalation path
If you submitted a refund request within 30 days of sign-up:
- Direct web sign-ups: Daily Burn typically processes refunds within 5-10 business days of approving your request.
- Apple App Store: Refunds appear within 48 hours if approved; if denied, you can file a complaint with the NCC.
- Google Play: Refunds appear within 48 hours; escalate to the NCC if denied.
- Other platforms: Refund speed varies; check the platform's refund policy.
If Daily Burn or a platform refuses your refund without valid reason, Yafee recommends filing a complaint with the National Consumer Commission. You have the right to lodge a complaint at www.thencc.org.za or by emailing [email protected]. The NCC can investigate whether the supplier breached the Consumer Protection Act and order a refund if warranted.
Common mistakes to avoid when cancelling Daily Burn
Cancelling a subscription is straightforward, but a few missteps can delay your refund or leave your account still active and billing.
Mistake 1: confusing cancellation with account deletion
Cancelling your subscription does not delete your account. Your login credentials, workout history and profile remain in Daily Burn's system. If you want to delete your account entirely-which removes all personal data-you must submit a separate data deletion request to [email protected]. Do this only if you never plan to use Daily Burn again, as account deletion is permanent and cannot be undone. Yafee advises cancelling first and requesting deletion separately if needed.
Mistake 2: cancelling through the wrong channel
If you subscribed via Apple App Store, you must cancel through Apple Settings-cancelling through the Daily Burn app or website will not work. The same applies to Google Play, Roku and Amazon. Many users contact Daily Burn support to cancel a third-party subscription, which creates delays. Always cancel through the exact platform or website where you signed up.
Mistake 3: missing the 30-day refund deadline
The 30-day cooling-off period runs from your sign-up date, not from the date you cancel. If you sign up on 1 January and wait until 2 February to cancel, you have missed the refund window. Set a reminder on your phone if you think you might want to cancel within 30 days. Yafee has helped thousands of consumers recover refunds by acting quickly-do not delay.
Mistake 4: not requesting a refund explicitly
Cancelling your subscription does not automatically trigger a refund. You must submit a separate refund request within 30 days, citing the Consumer Protection Act and the 30-day money-back guarantee. Many users cancel and assume their money will come back; it will not unless you ask. Follow the refund steps outlined above for your specific sign-up method.
Mistake 5: losing your confirmation emails
Your cancellation and refund confirmation emails are your proof of action. If Daily Burn disputes whether you cancelled in time or if a platform denies your refund claim, you need written evidence. Screenshot every confirmation message and save it to your email or cloud storage immediately after cancelling.
After cancellation: next steps and what to keep
Once your cancellation is confirmed, you have access until your current billing period ends and your refund request is submitted-your next step is to stay organised and follow up if needed.
Documents to keep
Retain the following for at least 12 months:
- Your sign-up email and date.
- Proof of payment (bank statement showing the amount and date Daily Burn was charged).
- Your cancellation confirmation email.
- Your refund request email or screenshot (if submitted outside the app or website).
- Any refund approval or denial email from Daily Burn or the platform you used.
- Screenshots of the refund or cancellation status in your account settings.
Yafee recommends creating a folder on your phone or computer labelled "Daily Burn Cancellation" and storing all these documents there. If a dispute arises weeks or months later, you will have everything you need to prove your case to the National Consumer Commission.
Following up on your refund
If your refund does not appear within the expected timeframe:
- Wait the full processing period (typically 5-10 days for direct web refunds, 48 hours for platform refunds) before escalating.
- Check your bank account's pending transactions-some refunds take 2-3 business days to settle after approval.
- Log in to your account and verify that your cancellation was successful and recorded by the system.
- If the refund still has not arrived, email [email protected] (for direct sign-ups) or the platform support team with your confirmation documents and request a status update.
- If you receive no response within 10 business days, file a complaint with the National Consumer Commission at www.thencc.org.za.
Frequently encountered scenarios and solutions
Real-world cancellations sometimes involve complications; knowing how to handle them speeds up your resolution.
Scenario: you are still charged after cancelling
If you cancelled successfully but were charged again, you have been overcharged in breach of the Consumer Protection Act. Immediately contact the platform you subscribed through (Apple, Google, Roku, etc.) or Daily Burn support, depending on your sign-up method. Provide your cancellation confirmation and the unexpected charge. Request a refund for the erroneous charge plus interest (if applicable under your bank's policy). If the supplier refuses, escalate to the NCC.
Scenario: you cannot remember where you signed up
Check your email for Daily Burn confirmation messages from the sign-up date. Search your email for "Daily Burn", "DailyBurn" and "confirm" to find the original sign-up confirmation. This email will state where you subscribed (website, App Store, etc.). If you cannot find it, check your bank or payment app for the original transaction and see which platform was charged (e.g., "APPLE.COM DAILY BURN" indicates App Store). Contact Yafee's support if you need further guidance-our specialists have navigated hundreds of these cases.
Scenario: Daily Burn or the platform refuses to refund you
If you are within 30 days of sign-up and the supplier refuses a refund without valid reason, you have grounds to escalate under the Consumer Protection Act. File a complaint with the National Consumer Commission at www.thencc.org.za or [email protected]. Provide:
- A copy of your sign-up confirmation and first charge.
- Your cancellation confirmation.
- Your refund request (email or screenshot).
- The refusal response (if any) from Daily Burn or the platform.
- A brief explanation stating that the supplier breached section 16 of the Consumer Protection Act (cooling-off period for distance transactions).
The NCC will investigate and may order a refund if the law has been breached.

| Refund processing time | 5-10 business days after approval | 24-48 hours after approval |
| Escalation route if denied | National Consumer Commission ([email protected]) | Platform appeal, then NCC if needed |
| Currency and taxes | ZAR including local VAT | ZAR including local VAT + platform fees |
| Recommended action | Cancel in account settings, then email [email protected] for refund within 30 days | Cancel in platform settings, then request refund within 14 days of charge |

Include your full name, email, account sign-up date and the amount charged. Daily Burn typically responds within 2-3 business days.
Apple, google play and platform support
For third-party platform subscriptions, contact the platform directly through its in-app help centre or support website. Apple, Google and Roku each have dedicated refund request systems; use them before escalating to the NCC.
National consumer commission escalation
If Daily Burn, Apple, Google or another supplier refuses to process your refund within 30 days of sign-up, you can file a formal complaint with South Africa's National Consumer Commission:
- Website: www.thencc.org.za
- Email: [email protected]
- Phone: +27 (0) 12 428 8335
- Postal address: National Consumer Commission, Block F, Midrand Office Park, 541 Heaton Street, Midrand, 1685, South Africa
The NCC investigates complaints free of charge and can order refunds if a supplier has breached the Consumer Protection Act.
Your bank or payment provider
If you believe Daily Burn charged you without authorisation or after cancellation, contact your bank directly. Your bank can investigate the charge, reverse it and issue a chargeback if warranted. Provide your bank with the same documentation you would give the NCC: sign-up confirmation, cancellation proof and the disputed charge.
Summary and your next action
