The 'SuperCoins' Free Subscription Method
Before paying, always check the Flipkart SuperCoins zone. You can often redeem SuperCoins earned from shopping on Flipkart to get a full Disney+ Hotstar Premium subscription for free for a year, which is the best deal possible.
The 'Telecom Bundle' Downgrade
If you are a Jio, Airtel, or Vi user, check your mobile or broadband plan. Many mid-tier and high-tier plans come with a free Hotstar Mobile subscription. You might be able to cancel your paid Premium plan and still retain mobile access through your telco.
The 'Times Prime' Value Play
Check if you have a Times Prime membership. A Hotstar subscription is often included in their bundle of services. It can be more cost-effective to get Hotstar as part of a larger bundle than paying for it standalone.
Pre-Cancellation Safety Checklist
Confirm Your Billing Source (Very Important)
CRITICAL: You can only cancel on the Hotstar website if you paid directly with a credit/debit card. If you subscribed via iTunes (Apple) or Google Play Store, you MUST cancel it through your phone's subscription settings. The 'Cancel' button will not appear on the Hotstar website.
Check for Multiple Accounts
Many users accidentally create multiple Hotstar accounts with different email addresses or phone numbers. Before cancelling, ensure you are logged into the correct, active premium account to avoid cancelling a free account by mistake.
Understand 'Log Out All Devices'
After you cancel and your billing period ends, it's good practice to go into your account settings and use the 'Log Out of All Devices' feature. This ensures your account is secure and no one else can access it.

Why can't I see a 'Cancel' button in my Hotstar account?
This almost always means you subscribed through a third party. If you used an Android phone, check your Google Play subscriptions. If you used an iPhone, check your Apple ID subscriptions.
Will I get a refund if I cancel Hotstar?
No, Hotstar does not offer pro-rated refunds for cancellations. Your premium access will continue until the end of your current paid billing cycle.
What happens to my watchlist and watch history?
Your Hotstar account is not deleted when you cancel. Your viewing history, preferences, and watchlist will be saved in case you decide to resubscribe in the future.
Can I still watch free content on Hotstar after cancelling?
Yes. After your premium access ends, your account will still allow you to watch all of the free, ad-supported content available on the Hotstar platform.
