How Postmates Unlimited Subscription Works
Postmates Unlimited operates on a recurring billing model that automatically renews unless you disable auto-renewal in advance. Each billing cycle delivers a set of benefits tied to order volume and geographic coverage.
Your account status reflects whether the subscription is active, pending renewal, or canceled, and this status determines which delivery fee structure applies to your orders.
Cancel Postmates Unlimited from App and Web
You can cancel directly within the Postmates app or through the website dashboard by locating the subscription section and selecting cancel. The process typically requires confirmation and shows the date until which your current benefits remain valid.
After cancellation, you retain access to the included deliveries until the period ends, but no new free deliveries are added beyond that point.
Pricing and Refund Details
Understanding the pricing structure helps you compare whether canceling aligns with your spending and usage patterns. Postmates Unlimited pricing varies by region, and refunds are generally not provided for the current billing period once cancellation is processed.
Any charges already processed remain on your account, and future charges are prevented by completing the cancellation steps before the next billing date.
Account Status After Canceling
Once you cancel Postmates Unlimited, your account shifts to a non-subscription mode where standard delivery fees apply. You may still use your account for one-off orders, but the free delivery thresholds no longer apply.
Order tracking, support access, and account features unrelated to the subscription continue to function normally, ensuring a seamless transition to paid delivery pricing.
