Trying to cancel my hulu account.

[evolves]

"Sorry for the inconvenience, our system is currently down. Please try again later."

Hopefully, they are overloaded with everyone trying to cancel....

1. Thank you for doing that. It's all they care about. *

[wcmagumba]

2. I only have a free 30 day trial and can't seem to cancel that but was able to cancel the auto payment at trial's end...

[Attilatheblond]

21. Cancelling auto payment on whatever bank card account you have it on is probably the easiest.

Your financial institution probably won't make you jump thru as many hoops.

[Delphinus]

3. Canceled mine last night

Peacock today

Those are the only two I have.

[Scrivener7]

35. Do you mean Paramount? Peacock is NBC.

[Coldwater]

4. Not my account but I'm seriously thinking about it.

[BidenRocks]

30. I got that last night when I fired Hulu.

Fuck 'em!

[ananda]

5. Change your payment method to one that doesn't work.

EG: use an old out of date credit card number

[mobeau69]

8. I wouldn't recommend that. Better to call CC company and instruct them to stop payments.

[ananda]

20. Agree. but either way, they will cancel the service.

11. It won't go through if out of date.

6. What will REALLY make a difference is if mass cancellations of ESPN occur (all Disney-owned)...

I have the new month-to-month streaming app, but have already done so. This is painful since I love college football, but games are mostly on ESPN or its affiliate networks or ABC so, I guess it is unavoidable. I will make it through with whatever highlight videos might be available online and listen to my own team's games streaming from the local radio outlet. They are a lot easier to listen to anyway since they have a "Dawg" in the fight.

16. If someone needs to watch something for "educational" reasons

These require using an adblocker and really only work on computers, not mobile.

19. Thanks...

[MichMan]

32. Long as the local radio outlet doesn't broadcast any RW talk radio shows or is owned by Sinclair

[FHRRK]

7. Cancelled ESPN+ last night, same issue

Tried at 5 and 7pm Pacific, just spun.

So ESPN+ is basically for 2nd tier athletic events, in my case college football games.

Now I would guess on a Saturday they would easily have 100k plus people streaming so hard to believe 100k plus were logging on to cancel, so my guess, they are purposely throttling, taking servers offline.

I finally called, was directed to log in at the ESPN website and then could cancel.

Best thing, you get the standard “why” survey. Pick “others” and you can tell them exactly why they lost your business.

9. I fucking hope so

10. In case you're still planning to cancel Disney+ Hulu etc today for maximum effect: A past employee advises you to call

In case you’re still planning to cancel Disney+ Hulu etc today for maximum effect:

A past employee advises you to call directly. It counts for more that way.

Interesting!

[evolves]

12. Thanks for this information.

I called, spoke with a lovely individual, and told her why I was cancelling. She recommended that I go to help.hulu.com to post a comment/complaint.
Done.

[demmiblue]

13. Excellent! 👍

[mokeyz]

24. i called Disney

as there was no “Cancel Subscription” button on the site - they asked why and I told the guy - he understood as i’m sure there were many before me - he did ask if i wanted to have access to disney+ and hulu for the remainder of my billing period and I said no.

[hamsterjill]

14. More than likely, they are hoping people will give up and not try back to cancel.

[Bengus81]

15. LOL!! Fantastic!

[ReRe]

17. K&R

Oh, this is excellent news. Or possibly they shut it down on purpose, to STOP customers from cancelling?
The People have the Power!

18. Canceled HULU

We canceled HULU this morning.

[annielion]

22. Thanks for doing that

I think they are getting a lot of pushback. This is what is needed.

[nilram]

23. It failed on my desktop repeatedly, but worked from my phone

Even though I was also just logged in with a browser, not the app. Canceling sure felt better than I thought it would!

[Mblaze]

25. I canceled last night

It took awhile. I couldn't do it on their site so I Googled something like "Contact a live person at Hulu" and was able to have a text chat with someone who was very nice and helped me cancel.

He asked me why and I wrote Jimmy Kimmel. Immediately, a kind of disclaimer statement came up that tried to excuse Hulu from the decision. It was ready to go. I still canceled and praised the chat person for his professionalism and kindness. I told him that I hope he wasn't being watched by Corporate and he thanked me for caring.

[ancianita]

26. Is Kimmel on Hulu? I ask cuz I only use Netflix & have not used Hulu, so not familiar w the situation.

TIA

[FrankBooth]

29. Not sure, even though I have Hulu until today.

I do know that if you get the Hulu TV subscription, you can get his show on there.

The issue is that Hulu/ABC/Disney are all part of the same corporate entity. You can't really cancel ABC, but you can cancel Hulu/Disney. Kowtowing to fascists over blatantly ridiculous accusations should not be rewarded.

[ancianita]

41. Okay, now I see. Thanks. Didn't know Hulu is owned by ABC/Disney.

[evolves]

38. He's on ABC

Parent company is Disney, which also controls Hulu and ESPN.
Hulu is all I had subscribed to.

[ancianita]

42. Ok. We're straight.

[FrankBooth]

27. I cancelled earlier today

Had no problems. And I definitely didn't want to cancel, as I enjoy the bundle I got from them. But no can do.

[Jill Hanson]

28. Hulu

Canceled mine about an hour ago!

[Skittles]

31. they do that on purpose

they're hoping it's just a spur of the moment decision and you will change your mind shortly

[ClaireF]

33. Cancelled my Disney+/Hulu/Espn bundle

First thing this morning.

[karin_sj]

34. Canceled my Hulu subscription

Already canceled Paramount. Seems like this is one of the only things we have control of at the moment and we need to not support companies that capitulate to a petty, vindictive dictator.

[Nixie]

36. We made it through to cancellation! This is actually good news

that their system is overloaded.

[Jack Valentino]

37. What is Hulu's crime??? For those of us who have no idea...

I presume some connection to ABC or Paramount, but without any specific information, I'm just guessing here....

[evolves]

39. Kimmel is on ABC

Parent company is Disney, which also controls Hulu and ESPN.
Hulu is all I had subscribed to.

[Starbeach]

40. Done

Good riddance

[B.See]

43. Didn't cancel mine because

never had that stuff in the first place.
