How do I auto-cancel subscriptions & lower bills?

Kudos can help you cancel subscriptions or negotiate lower bills automatically for you.

Updated today

How it works

Kudos monitors your recurring payments and can:

  • Cancel subscriptions you no longer use (with your approval before anything is cancelled)

  • Negotiate lower rates on bills like internet, phone, and cable — with no plan changes or service downgrades

  • Alert you before a free trial charges so you can decide whether to cancel

  • Track your savings from cancelled or reduced subscriptions over time

Set Up Auto-Cancel

Step 1: Review Your Subscriptions

  1. Go to Recurring payments in your Kudos account

    1. From the web, head to My WalletRecurring payments

    1. From the mobile app, tap SpendRecurring payments

  2. Review your subscription list

  3. Identify services you want to cancel or reduce

Step 2: Enable Cancel & Lower Bills

  1. Click Get started in the "We'll help cancel subscriptions and lower bills" banner

  2. Or navigate to My WalletCancel & lower bills

  3. Select which subscriptions you want Kudos to manage

Step 3: Choose Your Preferences

  • Auto-cancel unused subscriptions - Kudos cancels services you haven't used in 60+ days (requires approval first)

  • Negotiate bills - Kudos contacts providers to lower rates on internet, phone, cable

Step 4: Approve Actions

  • Kudos will never cancel anything without asking first

  • You'll receive a notification when Kudos identifies a cancellation opportunity

  • Review and approve with one tap

  • Kudos handles the actual cancellation process (no phone calls required)

What Can Be Auto-Cancelled?

Eligible for auto-cancel:

  • Streaming services (Netflix, Hulu, Disney+, etc.)

  • Fitness apps and gym memberships

  • Meal delivery subscriptions

  • Software subscriptions

  • News and magazine subscriptions

How Much Can You Save?

  • $147/year from cancelled unused subscriptions

  • $294/year from negotiated bill reductions

  • Total: $441/year in automatic savings

Bill Negotiation: Lower Rates, Same Service

When Kudos negotiates your bills, we contact your provider and work to get your current rate reduced. No plan changes. No downgraded service. We negotiate better rates within the plan you already have.

Our AI agents handle hold times, transfers, and retention scripts on your behalf — the same process that helped one Kudos user go from $130/month to $60/month on their T-Mobile plan, saving $840/year without changing a single feature of their service.

FAQs

Will this affect my credit score?

No. Cancelling subscriptions and lowering your bills has no impact on your credit score.

What if I want to restart a cancelled subscription?

You can always resubscribe directly with the merchant. Kudos saves your cancellation history for reference.

Does Kudos charge a fee?

Kudos Premium is required. No additional fees for cancellations or bill lowering.

What if I'm already on the lowest possible plan?

If your provider confirms you're already at the lowest available rate, we'll let you know. No action will be taken, and you won't be charged anything extra. It's still worth trying. Providers often have unadvertised retention rates or promotional credits that aren't available unless you ask.

Will the bill negotiation change my plan or downgrade my service?

No. Kudos negotiates better rates within the plan you already have. You keep the same service. We just work to lower what you're paying for it.
