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\u2019ll see I\u2019ve been a Match subscriber since the day it was announced so I\u2019m guess for the time being, they\u2019re doing full refunds given the removal of radio from our subscription.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Very painless process.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><em>Hi Adam,<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Thanks also for getting back to me and for confirming that you\u2019d still like to cancel your subscription to iTunes Match.
