Cancel Soho House: The Right Way

How to cancel your Soho House membership and reclaim your money

Why members cancel Soho House and what you should know first

Soho House is a premium members' club connecting creative professionals through physical Houses, workspaces, restaurants and curated events across major cities worldwide. Your annual membership-ranging from SGD 4,680 to SGD 7,000 depending on tier-grants access to a global network, hospitality venues and digital tools. However, the value of that membership depends entirely on how you actually use it.

Many members discover the annual fee no longer justifies their usage patterns, or their circumstances have shifted. If you're here, you've likely concluded the membership no longer serves you. That decision is completely valid, and you have clear consumer rights protecting your ability to exit fairly. Tocancel is here to walk you through the cancellation process, your refund eligibility and the steps to recover your money if disputes arise.

Understanding how Soho House billing works

Soho House operates on an annual subscription model with multiple membership tiers and access levels. Your billing cycle, renewal date and cancellation terms depend on where you signed up: directly through Soho House's website, via the iOS App Store, through Google Play Store or via a third-party membership platform. This matters significantly because the cancellation method and refund window differ by channel. Understanding your subscription source is your first step toward a smooth cancellation.

The 14-day window: your critical cancellation deadline

Singapore's Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act gives you a 14-day cooling-off period from your membership registration or renewal date. Within this window, you can cancel and claim a full refund, provided you have not materially used paid services such as dining, event bookings or regular House access. After day 14 expires, your refund eligibility ends unless Soho House voluntarily agrees to an exception. Acting within this window is your strongest legal position if you're uncertain about keeping your membership.

Your consumer rights under singapore law

As a consumer in Singapore, you are protected by specific legislation that guarantees fair treatment, transparent billing and your right to cancel membership services.

The consumer protection (Fair trading) act and your cooling-off rights

Singapore's Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act is the primary law safeguarding your rights as a Soho House member. It protects you in three critical areas: transparent billing practices, honest service descriptions and fair cancellation terms. The Act specifically grants you a 14-day cooling-off period for distance contracts-including all online memberships-measured from your registration or renewal date. During this period, you can cancel without penalty and receive a full refund, as long as you have not materially consumed the service. For Soho House, "material consumption" typically means using dining benefits, attending paid events or accessing physical House facilities beyond a trial visit. Your legal position is straightforward: the company must provide you with cancellation options, and they cannot hide unfair terms in small print.

What to do if Soho House refuses your cancellation

If Soho House denies your cancellation request, withholds a refund you're entitled to or imposes unexpected barriers, you have escalation options. The Consumers Association of Singapore (CASE) acts as an independent mediator and investigator for unfair contract terms, billing disputes and service complaints. You can file a formal complaint with CASE if Soho House refuses reasonable cancellation or refund requests. Tocancel strongly recommends documenting all cancellation attempts, company responses and billing records in writing-email confirmation is ideal. This evidence becomes invaluable if you need to escalate to CASE or pursue a formal dispute. Keep records of your original membership purchase confirmation, billing statements and any cancellation requests you submit.

Understanding what you're paying for helps you confirm whether cancellation is the right choice and assess your refund eligibility accurately.

Current annual membership plans and costs

If your annual membership exceeds SGD 4,680 and you cancel within the 14-day window without material use, you are entitled to a full refund of that amount. Verify your membership tier on your Soho House account dashboard or billing statement before you start the cancellation process.

Should you cancel? weighing your options

Before you proceed with cancellation, consider whether your situation truly calls for it or whether an alternative solution might suit you better.

Strong reasons to cancel your membership

You should cancel if you are within the 14-day cooling-off window and have not materially used the service. You should also cancel if you signed up during a promotional period and the full annual fee no longer aligns with your actual usage or financial priorities. Cancel if your work situation has changed-for example, you no longer work from shared spaces, you've relocated or your role no longer involves networking with creative professionals. You should cancel if you've explored the digital tools and found them of little value. You should cancel if the annual renewal is imminent and you're certain you won't use the membership in the coming year. Finally, cancel if you've attempted to use the service and discovered it does not deliver on its promises or service quality is consistently poor.

When to consider pausing instead of cancelling

If you're within the 14-day window but genuinely uncertain, contact Soho House customer support and ask whether a temporary pause or reduced-tier downgrade is available. Some membership services offer suspension options that preserve your account without charging you for a set period. If you're outside the 14-day window but feel the membership may become valuable again, clarify the renewal date and cancel before renewal if possible. If you're a heavy user of one specific feature (for example, dining discounts) but no others, ask whether you can downgrade to a lower tier rather than cancel entirely. These alternatives preserve your member status while reducing your costs. However, Tocancel recommends moving forward with cancellation if you are confident you will not use the membership, as attempting to preserve it may delay your refund and increase complexity.

How to cancel your Soho House membership: step-by-step by platform

The cancellation method depends on where you originally purchased your membership. Follow the steps for your subscription source to ensure your cancellation is processed correctly and your refund is approved.

Cancelling a Soho House membership purchased directly from their website

1. Log in to your Soho House account on their website using your email and password.
2. Navigate to your account settings or membership management section (usually under "Profile" or "My Account").
3. Look for a "Membership" or "Billing" section and select "View Membership Details" or "Manage Subscription".
4. Click "Cancel Membership" or "Cancel Subscription" and confirm your choice when prompted.
5. Note your cancellation confirmation number and the date displayed on your screen immediately after cancellation.
6. Within 48 hours, check your email for a cancellation confirmation email from Soho House containing your reference number and expected refund date.
   • If no confirmation email arrives within 48 hours, log back in and verify the membership shows "Cancelled" status.
   • If the status still shows "Active", repeat the cancellation steps or contact support immediately.
7. Track your refund: most refunds process within 7-14 business days to your original payment method. Verify the refund on your credit card or bank statement.

Cancelling an iOS app store subscription

1. On your iPhone or iPad, open the Settings app.
2. Tap your name at the top, then select "Subscriptions" or "Media and Purchases".
3. Tap "Subscriptions" and find Soho House in the active subscriptions list.
4. Tap Soho House and select "Cancel Subscription" at the bottom of the screen.
5. Confirm the cancellation when prompted. Apple will display your cancellation date and final access date.
6. You will receive a cancellation confirmation email from Apple within minutes.
   • This email confirms your cancellation with Apple, but you should also log into your Soho House account via their website to verify the membership status shows "Cancelled".
   • If your Soho House account still shows "Active" 24 hours after Apple cancellation, contact Soho House support directly with your Apple cancellation confirmation.
7. Apple will process your refund to your Apple ID balance or original payment method within 7 business days.

Cancelling a google play store subscription

1. Open the Google Play Store app on your Android device.
2. Tap your profile icon in the top right corner and select "Payments and Subscriptions".
3. Tap "Subscriptions" and find Soho House in your active list.
4. Select Soho House and tap "Cancel Subscription" or "Unsubscribe".
5. Confirm your cancellation choice when prompted. Google Play will show your final billing date and access end date.
6. You will receive a cancellation confirmation from Google Play within minutes.
   • Log into your Soho House account via their website to confirm the membership status changes to "Cancelled" within 24 hours.
   • If the status remains "Active", contact Soho House support with your Google Play cancellation confirmation email.
7. Google Play will process your refund within 7 business days to your original payment method or Google Play balance.

Cancelling a membership through a third-party platform or membership partner

1. Identify which platform you used to purchase: this may be a corporate benefits provider, a membership aggregator or a loyalty program partner.
2. Log into that platform's website or app using your credentials.
3. Navigate to "My Subscriptions", "Memberships" or "Active Services".
4. Find Soho House in your active subscriptions and select "Cancel" or "Remove Membership".
5. Confirm the cancellation and note the confirmation number and cancellation date.
6. Request a cancellation confirmation email from the third-party platform immediately after cancelling.
   • This confirmation is critical because it establishes the cancellation date for refund eligibility purposes.
   • If the third-party platform does not send a confirmation email, take a screenshot of the cancellation page showing the date and confirmation number.
7. Email both the third-party platform and Soho House support with your cancellation confirmation, requesting written acknowledgment that the membership is terminated.
8. Monitor your payment method: refunds from third-party platforms typically take 10-14 business days and may appear as a credit from the platform name, not Soho House directly.

Understanding your refund eligibility and timeline

Your refund depends on when you cancel and how much you have used the membership. Tocancel helps you understand these rules so you know exactly what to expect.

When you qualify for a full refund

You qualify for a full refund if you cancel within 14 days of your original membership registration or your annual renewal date, and you have not materially consumed the service. Material consumption includes attending paid events, booking dining experiences, using the workspace regularly or accessing physical House facilities beyond a single trial visit. If you meet both conditions-within 14 days AND no material use-Soho House is legally required to refund your full membership fee under Singapore's Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act. Your refund will be credited to your original payment method within 7-14 business days after Soho House processes your cancellation request. If you paid via a credit card or debit card, the refund appears as a credit on that card's statement. If you paid through an app store or third-party platform, the refund flows through that intermediary.

Partial refunds and what disqualifies you

If you cancel after day 14 expires, you typically forfeit refund eligibility entirely. However, if you can demonstrate that Soho House misrepresented the service, failed to deliver promised features or billed you incorrectly, you may have grounds for a partial or full refund even after day 14. If you have used dining benefits, attended events or accessed workspace facilities, you are considered to have "materially consumed" the service and are no longer eligible for a full refund. Some memberships offer a pro-rata refund (a partial refund based on unused months remaining in your annual term), but this is discretionary and not guaranteed. Contact Soho House support directly to ask about pro-rata options if you're outside the 14-day window but believe your circumstances warrant a partial refund.

What to do if your refund doesn't arrive

If your refund has not appeared within 14 business days of your cancellation, take these steps. First, verify your cancellation was processed: log into your Soho House account and confirm the membership status displays "Cancelled". If the status still shows "Active", contact Soho House support immediately with your cancellation confirmation number and ask why the cancellation was not processed. Second, check your payment method's transaction history: the refund may appear under a different name or date than expected. Third, if 14 business days have passed and the refund has not arrived, email Soho House support with your cancellation confirmation, original payment method details and a request for a refund status update. Provide a deadline (for example, "Please process this refund by [date 7 days from today]"). Keep a copy of this email. If Soho House does not respond or the refund is not processed within 7 additional days, file a complaint with the Consumers Association of Singapore (CASE) and provide your cancellation confirmation and all correspondence with Soho House. Tocancel recommends keeping all evidence of your cancellation and refund requests together in one folder for easy reference during any dispute.

Common cancellation mistakes and how to avoid them

Many members unintentionally delay their refunds or lose eligibility by making preventable errors during cancellation. Learning what to avoid puts you in control of the process.

Not confirming cancellation in writing

Cancelling through an app or website is convenient, but it does not create a reliable paper trail if disputes arise later. Always request a written cancellation confirmation email from Soho House immediately after you submit your cancellation. If you cancel via an app store, take a screenshot of the cancellation confirmation page. If you don't receive an email within 48 hours, contact Soho House support directly and ask them to send a written confirmation of your cancellation and cancellation date. This documentation protects you if Soho House later claims your cancellation was never received or processed incorrectly.

Miscounting the 14-day window

The 14-day cooling-off period starts from your membership registration or renewal date, not from the date you received your first billing notification or invoice. Verify your exact registration or renewal date on your Soho House account or in your welcome email. Calculate day 14 carefully and cancel before midnight on that date. If you are unsure of the exact date, contact Soho House support and ask them to confirm in writing when your 14-day window expires. Do not rely on memory or assumptions; confirm the date in writing from Soho House.

Using the service before cancelling

Even a single visit to a physical House, one dining reservation or attendance at an event may count as "material consumption" and forfeit your refund eligibility. If you are within the 14-day window and want to preserve your refund, do not use any paid services. Simply having access to digital tools (apps, member directory) does not count as material consumption, but actual House visits or paid event attendance does. If you have already used the service and are still within day 14, contact Soho House immediately and explain your situation-they may still grant a refund as a courtesy, but you have no legal guarantee once material consumption occurs.

Not checking your account after cancellation

After you submit your cancellation request, log back into your Soho House account 24-48 hours later and verify the membership status has changed to "Cancelled". If the status still shows "Active", immediately contact Soho House support and ask why your cancellation was not processed. This verification step is critical because it confirms the company received and acted on your request. Without this confirmation, you might assume you've cancelled when in fact the company never processed your request, putting you at risk of an unexpected renewal charge.

What happens after you cancel

Cancellation doesn't end immediately-understanding the post-cancellation timeline and access period helps you manage your expectations and avoid surprises.

Your access period after cancellation

In most cases, you retain access to your Soho House membership until the end of your current billing period. For example, if you signed up on January 1 for an annual membership and you cancel in February, you retain access until December 31 of that year. Your cancellation takes effect at the end of your paid period, not immediately. Check your cancellation confirmation email for the exact "final access date"-this is the last day you can use your membership benefits. After that date, your account will be deactivated and you will no longer be able to log in or access any House facilities, digital tools or member events. Plan accordingly if you were relying on upcoming reservations or events.

Refund timeline and what to expect

If you qualify for a refund (within 14 days, no material use), Soho House will process it within 7-14 business days after your cancellation is confirmed. The refund will appear as a credit to your original payment method. If you paid by credit card, check your card's online statement first-the refund may appear there before your physical statement arrives. If you paid through an app store or third-party platform, the refund flows through that intermediary and may take an additional 3-5 business days to appear in your account. Keep your cancellation confirmation email so you can track the refund date and follow up if needed.

Do not pay a renewal after cancellation

If your cancellation was processed correctly, you will not receive a renewal charge. However, if you receive a renewal invoice or charge after you have cancelled, contact Soho House immediately with your cancellation confirmation number and request an explanation. Do not ignore the charge. Report it as a billing error and request a reversal within 30 days of the charge date. If Soho House claims the charge was correct, dispute it with your credit card company or bank using their chargeback or dispute process. Keep your cancellation confirmation as evidence of your request to cancel.

Refund process and payment method details

Your refund method depends on how you originally paid and which platform processed your subscription. Understanding these details helps you track your money accurately.

Refunds to credit and debit cards

If you paid your Soho House membership with a credit or debit card, your refund will be credited back to that same card. The refund typically appears in your card account within 7-10 business days. Check your online card statement first-refunds often show there before your physical statement arrives. The refund will appear as a line item with Soho House or the payment processor's name. If you no longer have access to that card (for example, you've closed the account or the card has expired), contact Soho House with your cancellation confirmation and ask them to process the refund to a different card. Provide your new card details in writing and request written confirmation that they've updated your refund payment method.

Refunds from app store subscriptions

If you purchased your membership via the iOS App Store, Apple processes your refund to your Apple ID account balance or your original payment method. Refunds from Apple typically appear within 7 business days. If you see a credit to your Apple ID balance instead of your bank or card account, you can use that credit to purchase other apps, subscriptions or in-app content. To transfer that balance to a bank account, you will need to use the funds within the Apple ecosystem or contact Apple Support for options. If you purchased via Google Play Store, Google processes your refund to your Google Play balance or original payment method within 7 business days. Similar to Apple, you can use your Google Play balance within the Google ecosystem, or contact Google Support if you need to transfer it elsewhere.

Refunds from third-party platforms

If you purchased Soho House through a third-party membership platform or corporate benefits provider, that platform processes your refund, not Soho House directly. The refund timeline may be longer-typically 10-14 business days-because the platform must communicate with Soho House, process the refund internally and then send it to your payment method. Track your refund with the third-party platform by logging into your account and checking your transaction history. If the refund does not arrive within 14 business days, contact the third-party platform's support team with your Soho House cancellation confirmation and ask for a refund status update.

Comparison: keeping versus cancelling your membership

Before you finalize your cancellation, weigh the true costs and benefits to confirm this is the right decision for your circumstances.

Cost-benefit comparison table

Use this table to clarify whether the ongoing membership value exceeds the annual cost for your actual usage patterns. If you genuinely use workspace, dining or networking regularly, keeping the membership may justify the cost. If you signed up with good intentions but have not used the service within 14 days, cancellation and refund is clearly the better choice.

Escalation: what to do if Soho House refuses to cancel

If Soho House denies your cancellation request, withholds your refund or creates barriers to exiting, you have formal remedies under consumer law.

Document everything and demand cancellation in writing

If Soho House tells you they cannot cancel your membership or you do not qualify for a refund, ask them to provide this response in writing. Email Soho House support directly stating: "I request written confirmation of why you are refusing my cancellation request and my refund claim. I registered/renewed on [date], cancelled on [date], and have not materially used the service. Provide your response within 7 business days." Keep a copy of this email. If Soho House fails to respond or refuses unreasonably, escalate to the Consumers Association of Singapore (CASE).

Filing a complaint with the consumers association of singapore (CASE)

CASE is Singapore's independent consumer mediation and advocacy body. If Soho House refuses a cancellation or refund you are legally entitled to, you can file a formal complaint with CASE. Provide your cancellation confirmation, all correspondence with Soho House, your original membership purchase receipt and proof of payment. CASE will investigate whether Soho House violated the Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act. CASE can recommend that Soho House cancel your membership, process your refund or compensate you for losses. While CASE's recommendations are not legally binding, most companies comply because CASE can publish complaints and escalate disputes to the Ministry of Health, Family and Social Services if necessary. Filing a CASE complaint is free and typically takes 4-8 weeks. Tocancel recommends using CASE as your escalation point before considering legal action through the courts.
