I found it difficult to cancel my subscription to Shaw Academy.

I found canceling a subscription to Shaw Academy to be difficult.

Using the manage subscription option on my profile dashboard, I opted to cancel my subscription. After choosing the cancel and pause membership and benefits option, I was led through a series of pages that offered me discounts and other promotions trying to convince me not to cancel.

On the last page I was told that to cancel my membership I would have to call a call center.

After calling the call center and being made to listen to recorded messages, once again offering me discounts and special offers, I was eventually told that to cancel I would have to email an address that cannot be found on their website.

I also reached out to their support desk asking for my subscription to be cancelled. I received a reply from their support saying that my account has been cancelled and it will reflect on my profile in 24 hours. 48 hours later my account was still active.

I signed up to Shaw Academy intending to pay for a subscription so that I had full access to Shaw Academy

It became clear that I could no longer afford the subscription Shaw Academy.

The point of the review is that I fount it exceptionally difficult to cancel my subscription.

I advise that anyone wanting to cancel their subscription to Shaw Academy should do so well before the date that the subscription payment will be made.

Although I had notified Shaw Academy of my decision to cancel my subscription it still took over 48 hours before my subscription was cancelled.

Why is the email address that one needs to email to cancel their subscription so difficult to find?

Why could I not cancel my subscription directly from my profile dashboard?

In your terms and conditions it mentions that a sub set of customers may be asked to call a call center in order to cancel. It does not say that that after calling a call center you will have to email a cancellation email address.

I did not once receive a reply from the cancellation email address.

This company is an absolute joke.
