When you buy Discord Nitro, your subscription will be automatically renewed.
This is depending on the plan that you’ve chosen.
If you’ve chosen the monthly plan, you’ll be charged $9.99 every month.
On the other hand, if you’ve chosen the yearly plan, you’ll be charged $99.99 every year.
To not get charged, you need to cancel Nitro.
In addition, you can remove your credit card from your billing settings.
Back in June 2021, Epic Games offered 3 months of Discord Nitro for free.
However, you need to use a credit card to get the offer.
If it’s been close to 3 months, you need to cancel Nitro.
Otherwise, you’ll be automatically charged after the offer has ended.
In this guide, you’ll learn how to cancel Discord Nitro and how to remove your credit card from Discord.
How to cancel Discord Nitro
To cancel Discord Nitro, you need to go to your user settings and navigate to “Subscriptions”.
Then, click on “Cancel” under “Your Subscription” to cancel Discord Nitro.
Discord will then inform you of when you’ll lose access to Nitro.
There’ll be a message that says, “Cancellation will take effect at the end of your current billing period”.
This means that you’ll only lose access to Nitro when your billing period has ended.
In other words, you’ll still have access to Nitro and its features until it expires.
Here’s how you can cancel Discord Nitro:
To begin with, you need to open Discord on a desktop.
Do not open the Discord mobile app as you won’t be able to manage your subscriptions there.
If you haven’t downloaded Discord yet, you can do so here: https://discord.com/.
Then, click on “Download for Windows” to download Discord for Windows.
Next, open Discord and log in to your account.
On Discord, you’ll see your profile picture at the bottom of the left sidebar.
Next to your profile picture, you’ll see three icons including a microphone, headphones, and a gear icon.
Click on the gear icon to go to your user settings.
After you’ve clicked on the gear icon, you’ll land on your account settings.
On the left sidebar, you’ll see multiple options.
This includes “My Account”, “User Profile”, “Privacy & Safety”, and more.
Under the “Billing Settings” header, you’ll see the “Subscriptions” option.
Click on “Subscriptions” to open your subscription.
Under the “Your Subscription” header, you’ll see your current Nitro subscription.
On your current Nitro subscription, click on “Cancel”.
After you’ve clicked on “Cancel”, the “Cancel Nitro?” pop-up will open.
The pop-up tells you when you’ll lose access to Nitro.
When you cancel Nitro, it’ll only take effect at the end of your current billing period.
This means that you’ll still have Nitro and its features until it expires.
The expiration date of Nitro will be shown on the pop-up.
Click on “Next” to proceed to the next step.
After you’ve clicked on “Next”, you’ll land on the confirmation page.
On the confirmation page, you’ll see the date on which you’ll lose access to Nitro.
Before that date, you’ll still have access to Nitro, so don’t worry about losing it.
Click on “Yup, Cancel Nitro” to confirm that you want to cancel Nitro.
After you’ve clicked on “Yup, Cancel Nitro”, Nitro will be canceled.
Now, you won’t be automatically charged in the month.
You’ve successfully canceled Discord Nitro!
