Before you cancel, keep these
Two minutes of housekeeping now saves a support headache later if a charge reappears.
- The cancellation confirmation email or reference number — your proof if a charge reappears.
- The date your access ends, so you know exactly what you have already paid for.
- A screenshot of the final statement after the billing cycle closes.
- Which billing path you canceled (e.g. app store vs. the provider directly) — canceling one may not stop the other.
What to say to support
If you end up on live chat or the phone, a clear, specific request gets you through faster. This is a sample template — adapt the details to your own account.
Hi, I'd like to cancel my EA Play subscription. Please stop the recurring charge effective at the end of my current billing period and send me a written confirmation with a cancellation reference number. If any retention or downgrade offer applies, I'd like to review it before you finalize.
