Coupang, launched in 2010, is basically South Korea's version of Amazon, but on steroids. They deliver everything super fast. Maybe you signed up for their 'Rocket Wow' membership to get those perks or to binge-watch a K-drama like 'Anna' on Coupang Play. Now you're back home and seeing a weird charge on your card. It happens. This guide will help you cancel your subscription, which can range from about $3.60 to $39.99, across desktop, iOS, and Android. Getting rid of it could save you up to $40 a year. Let's get that money back in your pocket.
How to Cancel Coupang Subscription on Desktop
Canceling on a computer should be easy, right? Well, sometimes. Coupang's website can be a bit of a maze, especially if you're dealing with a language barrier. Make sure you have your login info ready.
1 Log In to Your Coupang Account
Go to the Coupang website and sign in. If you don't read Korean, you might need your browser's translate feature to help out. This is a common hurdle.
2 Find 'My Coupang'
Once you're in, look for the '마이쿠팡' (My Coupang) section. It's usually at the top of the page.
3 Navigate to Your Membership
In your account menu, find the 'Rocket Wow Membership' or '로켓와우 멤버십' option. They don't make it obvious.
4 Click the Cancel Button
Scroll all the way to the bottom. You should see a small, gray link that says '해지하기' (Cancel Membership). Click that link. I had to look for it for a solid minute.
5 Confirm Cancellation
Coupang will probably show you a page listing all the benefits you're about to lose. Just ignore it and confirm you want to cancel. You might have to click another button to finalize it.
How to Cancel Coupang Subscription on Mobile
Honestly, canceling on the app felt a little easier than on the desktop. But sometimes apps can be glitchy. One user on Reddit said the app crashed every time they tried to cancel, so your mileage may vary.
1 Open the Coupang App
Tap the Coupang app on your phone and make sure you're logged in.
2 Go to 'My Coupang'
Find the '마이쿠팡' (My Coupang) icon. It's usually in the bottom navigation bar.
3 Find Your Wow Membership
Tap on your name or profile area to find the 'Rocket Wow Membership' status. It should be right near the top.
4 Manage and Cancel
Tap on the membership section. This should take you to a management page. Scroll down until you see the option to cancel ('해지하기'). Tap it.
5 Follow the Prompts to Confirm
The app will ask you if you're really sure. Yes, you are. Keep tapping confirm until it tells you the subscription is cancelled. Don't fall for the last-minute offers.
Before you hit cancel, know this. Coupang won't delete your order history, so that's safe. But don't expect a refund if you just paid for the month. You typically get to use the service until your billing period ends, and then you're cut off. No prorated refunds for forgetting to cancel, which is super annoying. Also, there's no 'pause' button. It's either you're in or you're out.
