The 'Cancellation Flow' Discount
When you go through the cancellation process on the Blinkist website, they will often present you with a special offer, such as a 30-50% discount on an annual plan, to convince you to stay.
Use the 'Free Daily Blink'
Even on the free plan, Blinkist offers one pre-selected 'Blink of the Day' for free. It's a great way to keep learning without a paid subscription.
Pre-Cancellation Safety Checklist
You Lose Access to Your Full Library
CRITICAL: The moment your subscription ends, you will lose access to the entire library of book summaries. You can only access the 'Blink of the Day' and any samples.
Your Saved Library and History Are Safe
VERY IMPORTANT: The list of books you've saved to your library and your reading/listening history are tied to your account and will NOT be deleted. If you resubscribe, your library will be waiting for you.
Confirm Your Billing Source
The cancellation process is different depending on where you paid. If you subscribed on the Blinkist website, you must cancel there. If you subscribed via the Apple App Store or Google Play Store, you MUST cancel it in your phone's subscription settings.

What happens to the books I saved in my library?
The list of books is safe, but you won't be able to read or listen to them. Your account reverts to the free tier, where you can only access the 'Free Daily Blink'.
Will I lose my audio downloads?
Yes. Offline access is a premium feature. Any 'blinks' you have downloaded for offline listening will become inaccessible once your subscription expires.
Can I get a refund for my Blinkist subscription?
Generally, no. Subscriptions are non-refundable. Your premium access will continue until the end of the billing period you have paid for.
Why can't I cancel in the Blinkist app?
This usually means you subscribed via the Apple or Google Play store. You must manage the subscription directly through your phone's main settings, not the Blinkist app.
We'vell track your subscription, remind you before renewal, and help you avoid unwanted charges.
