It’s reader question time again, and this time it’s about getting a refund from Tinder. the question was “I accidentally subscribed to Tinder Gold for six months but I only wanted one month, will Tinder refund me just for getting one month?”
Apparently, this is a pretty common problem, so I’m turning this process into a tutorial. Here’s everything you need to know about getting Tinder Gold refunds.
The free version of Tinder is pretty good, but if you want to boost your dating, Tinder Plus or Tinder Gold may offer some valuable features. Tinder Plus offers Rewind, unlimited swipe right, 5 Super Likes, the ability to hide distance and age, and Passport the ability to change your location as needed. It also removes ads, which is a stand-alone advantage. Tinder Gold offers the Liked feature for those who want to meet in a short time. “Likes you” tells you who “swiped right” on your Tinder profile.
Both Tinder Plus and Tinder Gold require a subscription to access them. Since Tinder is an app, you subscribe using the Google Play Store or Apple Store. Unless you are using Tinder Online, all payment issues are taken care of by the respective app store; then you pay directly to Tinder and get a refund directly from Tinder.
Tinder and refunds
With regard to apps and refunds, distance selling law depends on where you live in the world. Typically, getting a refund is hard if you’ve started your subscription period, but Tinder leaves a lot of gray area in its terms and conditions. If you read the page, it says this about the refund terms and conditions:
Generally, all fees for in-app purchases are non-refundable and there are no refunds or credits for partially used times. We may make an exception if a refund is requested for Tinder Plus, Tinder Gold, or any other subscription offer within fourteen days of the transaction date, or if the laws in your jurisdiction provide for refunds. See our Terms of Use for details.
In one sentence, refunds are usually not available for partially used times, but elsewhere it says they may offer a refund within 14 days of payment. If you find yourself in the same situation as our reader, it’s always worth trying a refund as you have nothing to lose. At $9.99 per month Plus or $14.99 for Gold, this isn’t a trivial amount, especially if you paid 6 months upfront.
If you want a Tinder refund from the App Store, you usually have 48 hours from the transaction date to apply for it. You need to act fast to get your money back, so don’t waste your time!
Tinder refund from Google Play Store
Your first stop should be there when managing your app and subscriptions from the respective app store. In the case of the Google Play Store, you have to use a computer instead of a phone, but the result is the same. Here are the steps to request a Tinder refund through the Google Play store:
- Go to Google Play Store and your account
- Go to Order History and select the Tinder subscription you want to return
- Choose More and Report a Problem
- Choose the refund option and complete the explanations
- Submit the report and you should see a confirmation
The refund process will take some time, but you should be notified when it is decided whether you will be refunded or your money returned to you.
Tinder refund from Apple Store
The process to get a Tinder refund from the Apple App Store is pretty much the same as the Google Apps store. So are the rules), so you need to act fast if you want to get your money back. The main difference is that it can take up to 48 hours for your Apple App Store account to update your subscription status, which is the time limit for getting a refund.
The main way to get a refund is:
- Go to Apple report a problem page
- Go to Subscriptions and select Tinder
- Select Report a Problem and choose a reason to request a refund
If the subscription does not appear, we will report the problem to Apple Customer Support.
While I can’t officially recommend it, some users say it’s quicker to report an issue as an unauthorized access or payment to the Google Play Store or Apple Store. This means you have to change your account password, but it will get your money back.
Getting a refund from Tinder Online
If you use Tinder Online, you must request a refund directly from Tinder. Follow this link to Tinder Customer Support and fill out the short form. You will need your order reference code in the confirmation email, but the process is simple.
