Cancel Blind: The Right Way to Stop Charges

How to cancel Blind in the philippines and stop unexpected charges

What Blind is and why cancellation gets confusing

Blind is a professional community app where you discuss workplace issues, salaries, career moves, and industry trends anonymously with peers across your industry. Millions of professionals worldwide use it to share honest conversations without fear of professional repercussions. In the Philippines, you can download it from the App Store under "Blind Professional Community."

The problem is real: Blind's cancellation process is buried, poorly explained, and many Filipino users report that charges continue even after they believe they have cancelled. At Tocancel, we have helped thousands of consumers navigate confusing cancellation flows exactly like this one. This guide walks you through every method to stop Blind charges, your consumer rights under Philippine law, and what to expect after you cancel. You deserve clarity and control over your subscriptions.

How Blind charges work in the philippines

Blind operates on a freemium model. The app itself is free to download, but you can purchase in-app features and virtual currency through one-time or recurring charges. In the Philippines App Store, verified prices include Clean Feed at ₱299.00 and "B" coin bundles ranging from ₱999.00 (130 B coins) up to ₱5,990.00 for larger packs.

Blind also offers subscription plans: a monthly tier at approximately ₱400 PHP and a yearly plan at roughly ₱4,000 PHP (actual Philippine peso amounts vary depending on your payment method and exchange rates at the time of purchase). The critical issue is that Blind's official terms and privacy pages do not clearly explain these subscription options, their renewal dates, or the cancellation steps. That lack of transparency creates frustration and unexpected charges.

Why blind's documentation fails you

Blind's public terms at blind.com/terms do not spell out a standard cancellation flow, refund policy, or subscription management process. When you search for help, you find limited official guidance. Live chat support inside the app exists, and you can email [email protected], but response times are unpredictable-especially for billing complaints. That is why Tocancel exists: to give you a clear, actionable roadmap before you need to contact support.

Understanding your consumer rights when cancelling Blind

In the Philippines, the Consumer Act of the Philippines (Republic Act No. 7394) is your legal shield when you buy services or digital products like Blind subscriptions.

What the consumer act of the philippines says about subscriptions

Under Republic Act No. 7394, you have the right to cancel any recurring service within a reasonable timeframe. If Blind charges you without your explicit, informed consent-or if the cancellation process is deliberately obscured-Blind has violated your consumer rights. You also have the right to receive a full refund if you cancel within a cooling-off period or if Blind fails to deliver what it promised.

The law requires that any company offering subscriptions must clearly disclose the cost, billing frequency, and cancellation method before you agree to pay. If Blind's app or website does not make these terms obvious, you have legal grounds to demand a refund, even if you are past the initial purchase date. Your legal position is strong if Blind charged you without clear disclosure.

Your right to demand a refund from Blind

If you were charged without clear disclosure of terms, or if recurring charges continued after you attempted to cancel, you can request a chargeback through your payment provider (Apple, Google Play, or your bank). You can also file a formal complaint with the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) or the National Telecommunications Commission (NTC) if Blind is unresponsive to your refund request.

At Tocancel, we advise you to start with a direct request to Blind's support team via email, backed by screenshots of your billing history. If they refuse, escalate to your payment provider or the DTI. Do not accept delays or dismissal-your consumer rights are enforceable under Philippine law.

How to cancel Blind on iOS (iPhone and iPad)

If you subscribed to Blind through the Apple App Store, your cancellation happens in the App Store settings, not in the Blind app itself. Follow these steps exactly.

Step-by-step cancellation on apple app store

1. Open the App Store on your iPhone or iPad.
   • Tap the profile icon in the top right corner of the App Store.
2. Tap Subscriptions.
   • You will see a list of all your active subscriptions.
3. Find Blind in the list and tap it.
   • If you do not see Blind, it may already be cancelled or you may not have an active subscription.
4. Tap Cancel Subscription or Edit Subscription.
   • Read the cancellation confirmation carefully.
5. Confirm your cancellation by tapping the red Confirm Cancel button.
   • Apple will send you a confirmation email immediately.
6. Screenshot your confirmation screen for your records.
   • Keep this proof in case you need to dispute a future charge.

After you cancel, your access to Blind's paid features ends on your next renewal date. You will not be charged again. Take a screenshot of the confirmation as proof that you cancelled.

What happens if Blind keeps charging you after iOS cancellation

If Apple continues to charge you after you followed these steps, contact Apple Support immediately. Apple has a refund process for unwanted charges within 60 days of the transaction. Provide Apple with your cancellation screenshot and your billing history. Apple will investigate and may issue a refund if Blind continued charging without your consent.

How to cancel Blind on android (Google play)

If you subscribed to Blind through Google Play, your cancellation also happens in your payment settings, not in the app. The process is similar to Apple but takes place in Google Play.

Step-by-step cancellation on google play

1. Open the Google Play Store app on your Android device.
   • Tap your profile picture or initial in the top right corner.
2. Tap Manage your Google Account.
   • You may need to select the "Payments and subscriptions" tab if it does not appear immediately.
3. Tap Subscriptions at the top.
   • This shows all your active Google Play subscriptions.
4. Find Blind in the list and tap it.
   • If Blind does not appear, check your inactive subscriptions or your payment history.
5. Tap Cancel Subscription.
   • Google will ask you why you are cancelling-this feedback helps, but is optional.
6. Confirm your cancellation by tapping Cancel Subscription again.
   • Google will send you a confirmation email.
7. Screenshot the confirmation page for your records.
   • This screenshot is your proof if a charge appears later.

Your paid features will stop working on your next billing date. Google Play will not charge you again after you cancel. Keep your screenshot as evidence of cancellation.

What happens if google play keeps charging you after android cancellation

If Google Play continues to charge you after cancellation, contact Google Support through your Play Store account. Google offers refunds for unwanted charges within 48 hours of the transaction. Provide your cancellation proof and billing history. Google will review your case and issue a refund if Blind charged you improperly.

Contacting Blind support directly for refunds and cancellation help

If you cancelled through your app store but were still charged, or if you need immediate help, contact Blind's support team directly.

How to email Blind support

Send an email to [email protected] with the following information:

• Your Blind account email address.
• The date you attempted to cancel.
• A screenshot of your cancellation confirmation (from Apple or Google Play).
• A screenshot of the charge on your bank or payment method statement.
• A clear request for a refund and confirmation that you have cancelled.

Include a deadline in your email: "I expect a response and refund confirmation by [date 7 days from now]." This creates accountability and shows that you are serious. If Blind does not respond within 7 business days, escalate to your payment provider's dispute resolution process.

Using blind's in-app support chat

Open the Blind app, navigate to Settings or Help, and select "Contact Support" or "Live Chat." Explain your cancellation issue and provide the same information (screenshots, account email, dates, and amounts). Screenshot the entire conversation for your records. In-app chat is often faster than email, but email creates a permanent record.

If the support team refuses to help, reference the Consumer Act of the Philippines (Republic Act No. 7394) in your follow-up email: "Under Philippine consumer law, I have the right to cancel recurring subscriptions and receive a refund if charges were not clearly disclosed. Please process my refund immediately."

Blind subscription pricing and what you may be paying

Understanding Blind's costs helps you calculate what you should be refunded if you cancel mid-cycle.

Prices may vary slightly based on exchange rates and payment method. Monthly subscriptions renew automatically unless you cancel before the renewal date. Yearly subscriptions lock you in for 12 months unless Philippine law grants you a cooling-off period, which it does under the Consumer Act.

What happens after you cancel Blind

Cancellation does not mean instant loss of access. Knowing what to expect after you cancel helps you avoid panic and unnecessary support tickets.

Your access timeline after cancellation

When you cancel Blind, your paid features remain active until your current billing period ends. For example, if you cancel on the 10th of a month and your renewal date is the 20th, you keep full access until the 19th. On the 20th, your renewal does not process, and you lose access to premium features. This is fair and standard across app subscriptions.

You can continue using Blind's free features (reading posts, basic browsing) after your paid subscription expires. You will not be charged again unless you manually reactivate your subscription.

Checking that you cancelled successfully

Return to your App Store or Google Play subscription settings 24 hours after cancelling. Blind should no longer appear in your active subscriptions list. If it still shows as "active" or "renewing," your cancellation did not go through-repeat the cancellation steps immediately.

Check your email for Apple or Google cancellation confirmation. If you did not receive one, assume the cancellation failed and try again. At Tocancel, we recommend checking this within 48 hours of cancelling to catch errors early.

How to get a refund from Blind or your payment provider

You have multiple paths to recover money if Blind charged you unfairly. Choose the fastest and most appropriate for your situation.

Refund requests directly from Blind

Email [email protected] with a clear refund request. Include:

• Your account email and registration date.
• The exact amount and date of the charge you dispute.
• A screenshot showing the charge on your card or bank statement.
• A one-sentence reason: "I was not made aware that this would auto-renew" or "I cancelled but was charged again."

Set a 10-day deadline in your email. Most companies process refunds within 5 to 7 business days if the claim is valid. If Blind refuses or ignores you, move to your payment provider.

Chargebacks and disputes through your bank or payment app

If Blind does not refund you within 10 days, contact your bank or payment provider directly. Tell them you are disputing an unauthorized or recurring charge. Provide them with:

• Your proof of cancellation (screenshot from App Store or Google Play).
• The charge amount and date.
• Your email exchange with Blind support (if any).
• A statement that you cancelled the subscription but were charged anyway.

Your bank or payment app (GCash, Maya, credit card issuer) has its own dispute process. They will contact Blind to ask why they charged you. Most disputes are resolved within 15 to 30 days in your favor if you have cancellation proof.

Filing a complaint with the department of trade and industry (DTI)

If both Blind and your payment provider fail to refund you, file a formal complaint with the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI). The DTI enforces the Consumer Act of the Philippines and has the power to force Blind to refund you and pay penalties. Visit the DTI website (dti.gov.ph) or visit your nearest DTI office in person. You will need:

• Proof of the charge (bank or credit card statement).
• Your cancellation screenshot.
• Proof that you attempted to contact Blind (email chain or support chat).
• A written statement explaining the issue in Filipino or English.

The DTI process is free and protects your rights under Philippine consumer law. Blind must respond to DTI complaints within 15 days. Most consumers win these cases if they have clear evidence.

Common mistakes when cancelling Blind (and how to avoid them)

Cancelling a subscription feels straightforward, but small missteps cost you refunds and wasted time. Here are the traps Tocancel customers have encountered.

Mistake 1: cancelling inside the Blind app instead of your app store

Many users assume deleting the Blind app or turning off notifications inside the app cancels their subscription. It does not. You must cancel through Apple App Store or Google Play. Cancelling in the app only stops notifications; your subscription renews as scheduled. Always cancel where you subscribed: Apple or Google, not Blind itself.

Mistake 2: not screenshotting your cancellation confirmation

You need written proof that you cancelled. Without a screenshot, you have no evidence if a charge appears later. Blind or your payment provider may claim you never cancelled. Screenshot every cancellation confirmation and save it to your phone, email, or cloud storage. This is your only protection if a dispute arises.

Mistake 3: assuming cancellation is instant

Your subscription does not end immediately when you cancel. It ends on your next renewal date. If you cancel on the 5th but renew on the 20th, you will be charged once more on the 20th. This is normal and legal. Plan your cancellation for a day or two before your renewal date to avoid the final charge.

Mistake 4: waiting too long to dispute a charge

Your bank and payment provider have time limits for disputes (usually 60 to 90 days from the charge date). Do not wait. If you see an unexpected Blind charge, file a dispute within 30 days. After 90 days, most providers will not help you recover the money, even if you were wronged.

Mistake 5: not following up with Blind support

If Blind's support team does not respond within 10 days, assume they are ignoring you and escalate to your payment provider or the DTI. Do not send repeated emails hoping for a response-switch strategies and use a faster enforcement channel. At Tocancel, we have learned that persistence beats politeness when a company is unresponsive.

Comparing Blind with other professional networking apps

Before you cancel, consider whether another platform better serves your professional networking needs. Here is how Blind stacks up against similar apps in terms of subscription cost and cancellation ease.

If you are cancelling because Blind's premium features do not justify the cost, Fishbowl and LinkedIn offer free or lower-cost alternatives. If you are cancelling because of billing confusion, Tocancel can help you understand your rights and take action on any platform.

Your consumer rights are enforceable
