Can I still watch Max after I cancel?

Yes. Your access continues until the end of your current billing period. Canceling stops the next charge but does not cut off access immediately.

Will I get a refund when I cancel?

Max does not offer prorated refunds for the remaining days in your billing cycle. You keep access through the period you already paid for, but no money is returned.

How do I reactivate my Max subscription after canceling?

Sign back in at max.com, go to Settings > Subscription, and choose a plan to resubscribe. Your watch history and preferences are typically retained for a period after cancellation.

What if I subscribed through Apple, Google, or Amazon?

You must cancel through the platform that bills you. For Apple: Settings > [your name] > Subscriptions > Max > Cancel. For Google Play: Play Store > Subscriptions > Max > Cancel. For Amazon: Account > Memberships & Subscriptions > Max > Cancel.

How do I delete my Max account and personal data?

Canceling your subscription does not delete your account. To request data deletion, contact Max support at help.max.com and submit a data deletion request under privacy settings or customer support.

Does Max charge a cancellation fee?

No. There are no cancellation fees or early termination penalties for Max subscriptions billed directly by Max.

Cancel Method:Website

Go to Max account settings

Visit max.com and sign in with your account credentials. Click your profile icon in the upper-right corner, then select 'Settings' from the dropdown menu.

Open Subscription details

In the Settings menu, click on 'Subscription' to view your current plan, billing cycle, and who charges you. Confirm you are billed directly by Max (not Apple, Google, Amazon, or a TV provider) — if billed by a third party, you must cancel through that provider instead.

Click 'Cancel Subscription'

Scroll to the bottom of the Subscription page and click the 'Cancel Subscription' button or link.

Select a cancellation reason

A survey screen appears asking why you are leaving. Select any reason from the list (e.g., 'Too expensive', 'Not enough content', 'Taking a break'). This step is required to proceed.

Review retention offer

Max frequently presents a retention offer at this stage — typically 50% off for the next 3–6 months. Click 'Continue to Cancel' or 'No Thanks' to decline and proceed, or accept the offer if you want the discount.

Confirm cancellation

Click the final 'Confirm Cancellation' or 'Cancel Subscription' button to complete the process. You will receive a confirmation email. Your access continues until the end of the current billing period.
