What is Discovery Plus Cancellation Policy
Discovery Plus operates on a strict "no refunds" basis. When you cancel, your access continues until the end of your current billing cycle. So, if you cancel on the 2nd but paid through the 30th, you still have access (and no money back) for those 28 days. It is annoying, but standard for streaming. Also, deleting the app does not cancel the billing. You actually have to go through the steps above. Complaints on the Better Business Bureau often mention people forgetting this distinction and getting charged for months.
Having Trouble Cancelling Your Discovery Plus Subscription?
If you followed the steps above and cannot find a "Cancel" button, you likely subscribed through a third party. This is the most common frustration.
- Roku: Press the Home button on your Roku remote, highlight the Discovery+ app, press the Star (*) button, and select Manage Subscription.
- Amazon Prime Video: If you added it as a Prime Channel, you must cancel inside your Amazon Prime Video settings under "Channels," not on the Discovery website.
- Verizon: Some users got a free year with Verizon. You must manage this inside your My Verizon account under Add-ons.
