Cancel Blidz: The Right Way to Reclaim Your Money

How to cancel Blidz and stop recurring charges on your card

What Blidz is and why you might want to cancel

Blidz is a mobile shopping and rewards app that offers group buying, gamified discounts and a paid membership tier called Blidz Plus. You can play games, unlock deals and earn balances, but the membership renews automatically every month unless you actively cancel before your next billing date.

Many Australian members sign up for a trial or promotional offer, only to discover recurring charges on their bank statements months later. If you've joined Blidz and now want to leave, you're not alone. Tocancel has helped thousands of Australians understand their subscription rights and take control of their spending, and Blidz cancellation is one of the most common requests we handle.

How Blidz billing works in australia

Blidz Plus charges you monthly and auto-renews indefinitely. The critical thing to know: deleting the app or closing your account does NOT stop your subscription. Payments are processed through a third-party payment processor, not directly through Blidz, which means your billing cycle continues independently of what you do on the app itself.

This separation between the app and the payment processor is where most cancellation attempts fail. You can remove Blidz from your phone, but your credit card or linked payment method will still be charged every month until you formally cancel through the correct channel.

Blidz membership pricing and what you get

Exact prices vary depending on your location within Australia and which payment method you used to subscribe. Promotional or trial offers may differ from the standard rate.

Your legal cancellation rights as an australian consumer

Before you take action, understand where you stand legally, because Australian Consumer Law gives you real protections if Blidz doesn't cooperate.

The cooling-off period for online purchases

Under the Australian Consumer Law, if you signed up for Blidz online or outside normal business hours, you have a statutory cooling-off period of 10 business days. During this window, you can cancel and request a full refund without penalty, regardless of what Blidz's terms say.

If you're still within 10 business days of your first payment, contact Blidz support immediately and cite this right. The company cannot refuse a cooling-off cancellation.

Automatic renewal laws and your consumer protection

Australian Consumer Law also requires that services offering auto-renewing subscriptions obtain your clear, informed consent before the first charge. Many users report being charged without realising the trial would convert to paid membership. This is a breach of the law if proper consent wasn't obtained in writing or via clear digital acknowledgment.

If you were charged without clear notification that Blidz Plus would auto-renew, you may have grounds for a chargeback or complaint to the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC). Your legal position is strong if consent was not explicit and documented.

The ACCC as your enforcement body

If Blidz refuses to cancel or refund you after you've made a valid request, you can escalate to the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission. The ACCC enforces consumer law and can investigate unfair contract terms or breaches of automatic renewal rules. Document all communication with Blidz before you escalate.

How to cancel Blidz: step-by-step method one (app-based cancellation)

The primary way to cancel Blidz Plus is through the app itself, and Tocancel recommends starting here because it creates an instant record of your cancellation request.

1. Open the Blidz app on your phone and log in with your account credentials.
2. Tap the Settings icon (usually a gear symbol in the top-right or bottom menu).
3. Select "Manage Blidz Membership" or "Subscription Settings" from the menu.
4. Tap "Cancel Blidz Plus membership" and confirm your cancellation request.
5. Take a screenshot of the confirmation screen immediately. This proves you cancelled before your next billing date.
6. Log out of the app and wait for a confirmation email from Blidz support within 24 hours.

The confirmation email will state your cancellation date and clarify whether you retain access until the end of your current billing period. Do not delete the app or your account until you receive this email confirmation.

How to cancel Blidz: step-by-step method two (email-based cancellation)

If you cannot access the app or the in-app cancellation fails, you can request cancellation or a refund via email to Blidz support. Tocancel advises using this method as a backup or if your in-app attempt doesn't generate a confirmation.

1. Compose an email to [email protected] with the subject line "Cancellation request for Blidz Plus membership".
2. Include your full name, email address linked to your Blidz account and the phone number associated with your account.
3. State your cancellation request clearly: "I request cancellation of my Blidz Plus membership effective immediately."
4. If you believe you were charged without clear consent to auto-renew, mention this and request a full refund of charges since you signed up.
5. Send the email from the same email address you use for your Blidz account.
6. Save a copy of your email and any response. If you don't hear back within 5 business days, follow up with a second email.

Email-based cancellation creates a written trail, which strengthens your position if you later need to dispute charges with your bank or escalate to the ACCC.

What happens after you cancel Blidz

Understanding what occurs after cancellation helps you confirm the process worked and spot any billing errors.

Your access during the final billing period

When you cancel Blidz Plus, your membership typically remains active until the end of your current billing cycle. This means if you cancel mid-month, you retain Blidz Plus access and features until your next billing date arrives. On that date, your access reverts to the free tier, and no further charges will appear on your card.

Blidz should confirm this in your cancellation email, including the exact date your access will downgrade.

Monitoring your bank statement after cancellation

After your final billing date, check your bank or credit card statement to confirm no new charges from Blidz appear. Most cards show transactions within 1 to 3 business days. If a charge appears after you've cancelled, contact your bank immediately and report the unauthorised transaction. You can dispute it as a charge made after a valid cancellation request.

Keep all cancellation confirmations and emails for at least 12 months in case you need to reference them in a dispute.

Refund eligibility and how to claim one

Blidz does not automatically refund charges for membership you've already used, but you may be entitled to a refund in specific circumstances.

When you can request a refund

You have grounds to request a refund if: you cancel within the 10 business day cooling-off period; you were charged without clear consent that the trial would auto-renew; the service was not supplied as described; or you experienced a technical fault that prevented you using Blidz. Tocancel advises citing the specific reason in your refund request to strengthen your position.

How to request a refund from Blidz

Send a separate email to [email protected] with the subject "Refund request for Blidz Plus charges". Include your account details, the dates of the charges you want refunded and your reason (e.g., "I was not given clear notice that my trial would auto-renew"). Request a full refund of charges since signup. Blidz should respond within 10 business days. If they refuse, you can dispute the charges with your bank under your card's consumer protection scheme.

Disputing charges with your bank

If Blidz denies your refund request, contact your bank or credit card issuer and request a chargeback. Explain that you cancelled a subscription and were charged after cancellation, or that you were charged without proper consent. Provide your cancellation confirmation email as evidence. Your bank will investigate and typically refund disputed amounts within 30 days while the dispute is resolved.

Common cancellation mistakes and how to avoid them

It's frustrating to think you've cancelled only to find charges still appearing. These mistakes happen more often than you'd expect, but they're completely avoidable if you follow the right steps.

Mistake one: deleting the app instead of cancelling the membership

Removing Blidz from your phone does nothing to stop the subscription. Your payment method remains linked to the account in Blidz's system, and charges will continue every month. Always cancel the membership through Settings before you delete the app.

Mistake two: closing your account without cancelling the subscription

Deleting your Blidz account is different from cancelling Blidz Plus. Account deletion only removes your profile and data; it does not stop auto-renewal. You must cancel the membership first, then delete the account if you wish. Tocancel has seen many cases where users deleted their account thinking they'd ended the subscription, only to be charged months later.

Mistake three: not keeping proof of cancellation

If you don't screenshot or save your cancellation confirmation, you have no evidence if a dispute arises later. Always retain confirmation emails and screenshots of the cancellation screen for at least one year.

Mistake four: not checking your statement after the final billing date

Some users cancel but never verify that the final charge occurred and no new charges followed. Check your statement within 5 business days of your expected final billing date. If an unexpected charge appears, report it immediately to your bank.

Timeline for cancellation and when to expect changes

Understanding the timeline helps you know what to expect and when to follow up if something goes wrong.

If you don't receive a confirmation email within 24 hours, send a follow-up email to [email protected] referencing your original cancellation request.

Traps to avoid when cancelling Blidz

A few common traps can catch you off guard if you're not aware of them.

The promotional offer trap

If you signed up for a trial at a reduced rate (e.g., A$0.99 for the first month), the full price becomes due when the trial ends. Some users miss their cancellation window and are shocked by the jump in price. Cancel at least 3 days before your trial period ends to avoid the full charge.

The payment method update trap

If you update your payment method on file (e.g., add a new credit card), this does not cancel your subscription. Your renewal will simply charge the new card. Only cancelling the membership itself stops the billing.

The region-specific pricing trap

Blidz prices vary by postcode within Australia. If you've moved interstate, your renewal price might change. Check your confirmation email to see your exact billing amount before the final charge hits your card.

Frequently asked questions about cancelling Blidz

Can i get a refund if i cancel after 10 business days

Not automatically. You have a statutory right to refunds within 10 business days (cooling-off period) only if you cancel within that window. After 10 business days, you can request a refund only if you have a valid reason, such as being charged without proper consent to auto-renew or if the service failed. Submit your request to [email protected] with clear justification.

Will cancelling stop all charges immediately

No. You will be charged one final time on your next scheduled billing date, even if you cancel mid-month. Your membership remains active until that date arrives. After that final charge, no further charges will occur.

What if Blidz ignores my cancellation request

If Blidz doesn't respond to your cancellation email within 10 business days, send a second email and copy in a subject line marker like "URGENT: SECOND CANCELLATION REQUEST". If they still ignore you or refuse to cancel, contact your bank and dispute any charges that occur after your cancellation request. You can also lodge a complaint with the ACCC if you believe Blidz is breaching automatic renewal laws.

Is Blidz cancellation free

Yes. There are no cancellation fees or penalties for ending your Blidz Plus membership. Any cancellation fees would be illegal under Australian Consumer Law.

Can i cancel via phone

Blidz does not list a phone cancellation line. You must cancel via the app or email. This actually works in your favour because email creates a written record that protects you if a dispute arises.

Comparison of cancellation methods

Both methods work, but each has advantages depending on your situation.

Tocancel recommends using both methods simultaneously: cancel via the app and send an email the same day. This creates redundancy and strong documentation if Blidz claims they never received your request.

What to do if your cancellation fails or charges continue

If you cancel but charges keep appearing on your card, take immediate action.

Step one: contact Blidz support again

Send a third email to [email protected], referencing your previous cancellation request(s) and the date(s) of the unwanted charges. Ask Blidz to confirm cancellation status and explain why you were charged after your cancellation request. Allow 5 business days for a response.

Step two: dispute the charge with your bank

If Blidz does not respond or refuses to acknowledge your cancellation, contact your bank or credit card issuer and initiate a chargeback for unauthorised charges. Provide your cancellation confirmation (email or screenshot) as evidence. Your bank will investigate and typically refund the disputed amount within 30 days.

Step three: lodge a complaint with the ACCC

If Blidz has violated automatic renewal laws (charging without clear consent) or ignored your cancellation request, file a complaint with the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission at accc.gov.au. The ACCC can investigate breaches of consumer law and take action against the company if necessary. Tocancel advises including all documentation: your signup email, cancellation confirmations and statement evidence of charges after cancellation.

Summary and your next steps

Cancelling Blidz is straightforward if you use the correct method and keep proof of your cancellation. Your legal rights are clear: if you signed up online, you have a 10 business day cooling-off right; if you were charged without clear consent to auto-renew, you can dispute those charges; and if Blidz ignores your cancellation request, you can escalate to your bank or the ACCC.

Start by cancelling through the app (Settings → Manage Blidz Membership → Cancel Blidz Plus membership) and screenshot the confirmation. Send a backup cancellation email to [email protected] the same day. Monitor your statement for the final charge and confirm no new charges appear within 30 days.

If charges continue after you've cancelled, dispute them with your bank and escalate to the ACCC if necessary. You have strong consumer protections in Australia, and Tocancel has helped thousands of consumers cancel unwanted subscriptions and recover overcharges. Your rights are real, and you have the power to enforce them.
