Duolingo (Super Duolingo and Duolingo Max): refund request
Charges are generally nonrefundable; iOS refunds go to Apple, Android and web refunds go through Duolingo support.
What does this mean?
Grade B (good: mostly official pages; check the flagged values before relying on them). 100% of 6 sources are the organization's own pages or government sites; only 6 sourced values, so the entry is thin.
Collect
- receipt
- platform
- subscription start date
Steps
For an iOS purchase, request the refund from Apple; Duolingo cannot access the App Store.
For Android, contact Duolingo support, choose "Purchase Issue" and say you need a refund for your subscription.
For a web subscription, sign in, click the Super icon, choose to contact Duolingo support and ask for a refund of the web subscription.
