I just got charged for a whole year of premium while on the trial, I thought it was a weekly sub and now I can't pay my damn rent for the week. Can't find any contact information. How do I get my damn money back?

Open a ticket to support.

The moral is do not put your credit card details into an online form UNLESS you are sure you will remember to cancel the subscription before it starts. Otherwise you get charged. Simple as that.

Luckily chess.com will cancel and refund you, but plenty of sites wont.

 

So dont do it.

When your son signed up, an email address had to be used or it had to be attached to a Google of Facebook account.

Is this the account?

I am trying to log in with that id but i cant.They sent me a link to activate a new account when I did it.But the new account seems like a free trial account with no subscription to cancel.

On an average how long support team takes to get back to the email.Its been 4 working days and no one got back to me .Is there any other way to reach them!!!

I am getting our billing team to reach out to you.

They normally reach out within 3 days. Check your spam folders, since sometimes the support replies get flagged.

Hello @dhoone , I am very sorry to hear of this unwanted charge to your account. I have now issued a full and immediate refund back to your account. Please allow 3 business days for the refunded amount to be reflected in your account balance. Thank you and have a nice day!

I have the same problem. I also tried the trail and I forgot to cancel. I didn't want a membership for an entire year. Now I can't pay my rent as well.

If you haven't already, you'll need to open a ticket with support for a refund.

I haven't applied for yearly subscription. I have been using free membership trail for the past one month. But suddenly on 22/05/2020 my free membership subscription got renewed and charged me 100$ without my knowledge. I want to cancel my subscription and I need those money back. It just happened without my knowledge. I kindly request you to help me overcome this and get my money back as i have to pay school for my son. Thank you.
