I had an adobe trial subscription for a month, i forgot that the subscription was attached to my card, i transferred money to my card yesterday and i was charged for a new subscription, although there is a week left till the end of the new month, how can i get my subscription money back? i was charged at night yesterday, i cancelled it in my profile in the morning and why didn't the subscription just get cancelled after a few weeks without payment?

If this has happened to you, don’t worry! Here’s what you can do next:

1. Self-cancel via Adobe Account:

  • Go to Adobe Account.
  • Navigate to Plans > Manage Plan.
  • Select Cancel Plan and follow the prompts.

2. Check Subscription Terms and Adobe's refund policy:

  • Adobe offers a 14-day full refund window from the beginning of the subscription trial. 
  • It usually takes 12- 14 days for the refund to process.
  • After 14 days, the subscription continues until the end of the billing cycle, and refunds are not guaranteed.

3. Check for Confirmation:

  • Always verify cancellation by checking your email or Adobe account for confirmation.

Same issue here. I thought I needed the product but was unable to use it. I thought I cancelled it already coz I didn't see it in my subscriptions so I was surprised when I received a notification from my credit card that I was charged. I cancelled through the website now but I was being charged USD69 for early cancellation. I want to reverse this charge.

Hi @hannah_1287,

We appreciate you reaching out. As per your account details, you have an active subscription for Adobe CC all apps and Adobe After Effects. Both plans are 6 months old. 
Refund can only be requested if the cancellation is done within 14 days. 

I can see that you have cancelled CC all apps and there is a payment pending for After Effects.
Please make sure you have cleared your dues before cancelling the subscription. https://adobe.ly/4kwGcAP

Let us know if you have any questions.

Actually I tried the free subscription with my debit card, and I found the
features were not active. I tried the one month subscription, thought I
will be getting an OTP but unfortunately it just deducted like very very
super speedy.

I'm just trying to figure out how to get a refund on this when I didn't even know I had this account.

if you still recognize no charges AND never had an adobe trial, contact your credit card provider and report fraud.

You must take the step to cancel the contract... not paying is not the same as cancelling
