A Quick Guide to Cancelling Your Benchmark Email Account
Canceling your Benchmark account is quite simple — it takes only a few minutes. Here’s what you’ll need to do:- Log into your Benchmark Email account.
- Click on your name in the top right menu, and click Account Settings.
- Click on Plan Information.
- Scroll down until you see a message about cancellation, and click the “clicking here” link.
- Enter your name and email address. This will open up a live chat window.
- Answer a few questions from the support rep and confirm your login, and they will cancel your account.
My Cancellation Experience, Step by Step
If you’re having any trouble with the instructions above, let’s go through the entire process in more detail, with screenshots. Once you’re logged in, you should see your name at the top right corner. Click Account Settings in the dropdown menu. If you’re on mobile, you’ll have to click the menu button first to expand the menu, and then you’ll see your name at the bottom left of the screen. Next, navigate to the “Plan Information” section of your account settings: There’s a whole bunch of information on this page, but you need to scroll down past the add-ons section. Then you’ll see a rather small section of text that has a link to cancel your account. It’s easy to miss if you don’t know what you’re looking for. Click that link and a new tab will open with a live chat form where you’ll need to enter your name and email. I received a response after about one minute, asking me why I was canceling. After a few more messages, I was asked to confirm my login ID, and then my account was canceled shortly thereafter. Within a few seconds, you should get an email confirming that the cancellation was processed. Note that you can still log into your account at this point. Your account and its data will be removed on the cancellation date mentioned in the confirmation email (should be about two weeks later). In total, the cancellation chat process took seven minutes. (I was as quick as possible to reply.) If you’re canceling a paid plan, know that Benchmark Email does not give refunds. All plans are month-to-month, and you won’t be charged for the next month after canceling, but you won’t get any part of your current month refunded.The Best Benchmark Email Alternatives
