How to cancel Pimsleur

Cancel website subscriptions in the Account Center at store.pimsleur.com/account/subscription, or call (800) 831-5497, by 11:59pm ET on the last day of the billing period. Apple and Google Play subscriptions cancel with Apple or Google, 24 hours before renewal. Cancelling a free trial ends access at once; no refunds.

The short answer

  • Where: In a web or mobile browser, log in at store.pimsleur.com/account/subscription (the Subscriptions tab of the Account Center) (store.pimsleur.com).
  • When it ends: Access continues to the end of the then-current billing period; cancelling during a free trial ends access immediately.
  • Billed by someone else? Cancel with them instead: Apple or Google Play.
  • Want to keep it for less? Pause and more. Options

Before you cancel

What happens to your data

Pimsleur says it saves your account, learning progress, badges and certificates in case you come back; lesson history may be kept if you buy the identical subscription again under the same login.

What you lose

  • Access to your lessons once the paid period ends
  • Earning or redeeming rewards points; unused points expire two years after the subscription ends unless you resubscribe

After using a guide, send structured report_guide_feedback for matching or changed steps, missing billing routes or human handoffs; keep unknown language and market omitted. Confirm with the person before the final click, and report the outcome with report_action_outcome, using the exact packet_revision and route_id returned by the plan.
