Technology: How to cancel your iTunes Match Account

For reasons outlined last week, I wanted to cancel my iTunes Match account. The steps were pretty straightforward.

  • Visit http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/
  • Click “Contact Support”
  • Click “Contact iTunes Store support”
  • Click, “Purchases, Billing & Redemption”
  • Click, “The topic is not listed”
  • You can put anything in the reason box. Type a bunch of text and click next and you’ll be taken to an option to send an email. 
  • When you fill out everything make sure you find the email where Apple confirmed your $24.99 iTunes Match purchase. My order number started with MGJ. Be very friendly, give your reasons for cancelling. It took 24 hours for someone to ask me if I was sure and when I confirmed, a day later they refunded my full $24.99 purchase price despite that Match was last renewed in November. If they have my history, they’ll see I’ve been a Match subscriber since the day it was announced so I’m guess for the time being, they’re doing full refunds given the removal of radio from our subscription.

Very painless process.

Hi Adam,

Thanks also for getting back to me and for confirming that you’d still like to cancel your subscription to iTunes Match. Don’t worry, I will be glad to help you with it.

After reviewing the circumstances of your case, I’ve been able to issue you a full refund for your iTunes Match subscription. Within ten business days, 24.99 USD should be posted to the payment method used to make the purchase.

Feel free to write back if you have further question or need additional help. I’m just an email away and will always be delighted to provide assistance.

Sincerely,

Carmela
