You can cancel Blink through your account settings or by contacting their support team

Blink memberships — which include Blink+ and Blink Subscription Plan — renew automatically each month or year depending on what you chose when you signed up. To stop the charges, you need to cancel before your next renewal date. The fastest way is through your Blink app or web account, where you can cancel when ready and see your renewal date right there. If you run into trouble or your account is locked, Blink's support team can cancel it for you over email or phone.

The key difference between Blink and some other services: cancelling your membership does not delete your account or your video history. You keep access to your cameras and any recorded footage, but you lose the features that came with the paid plan — usually cloud storage and person detection alerts. Your cameras will still work on the free tier if Blink offers one in your region.

Key Takeaways

  • Cancel through the Blink app or website by going to your account settings and selecting the membership or subscription option, then choosing cancel.
  • Write down your renewal date before you cancel so you know when the last charge will hit your card.
  • Cancelling removes paid features like cloud storage but does not delete your account, cameras, or video history.
  • If you cannot cancel online, contact Blink support by email through their website or call the phone number listed in your account — they can process the cancellation for you.
  • Check your credit card or bank statement a few days after your renewal date to confirm the charges have stopped.

How to cancel through the Blink app

Open the Blink app on your phone and sign in. Tap the menu icon (three horizontal lines) in the bottom right corner, then select Account. Look for Subscription or Membership — the exact wording depends on which Blink product you have. Tap it to see your current plan and renewal date.

On the subscription details page, you should see a button that says Cancel Subscription or Manage Plan. Tap that button. Blink may ask why you are cancelling — you can skip this or answer it, but either way you can proceed. Confirm the cancellation when prompted. You should see a confirmation message right away, and Blink will send a confirmation email to the address on your account.

How to cancel through the Blink website

Go to blinkforhome.com and sign in with your email and password. Click on your account icon or profile menu in the top right corner, then select Account Settings. Look for Subscription, Membership, or Billing — different account types show this in different places.

Once you find your subscription details, click Manage Subscription or Cancel Subscription. Review the cancellation details, including when your last charge will occur. Click the button to confirm cancellation. You will see a confirmation on screen and receive an email confirmation within a few minutes.

What happens to your cameras and videos after cancellation

Your Blink cameras stay connected and keep working after you cancel. You can still view live video from your cameras and access any recordings that were saved before you cancelled. What you lose depends on which plan you had: Blink+ members lose cloud storage and person detection, while other subscription tiers lose their specific paid features.

If you had videos stored in Blink's cloud, check whether they will be deleted after cancellation. Some plans give you a grace period to read your videos; others delete them when ready. The cancellation confirmation email should tell you this. If it does not, contact Blink support before you cancel to ask about your video history.

If you cannot cancel online, contact Blink support

If the cancel button is not showing up, your account is locked, or you are having any other problem, you can contact Blink directly. Go to blinkforhome.com/support and scroll down to find the contact options. Blink offers email support through a contact form on their support page. Fill out the form with your account email, explain that you want to cancel your membership, and include your renewal date if you know it.

Response times for email support vary, but Blink typically replies within one to two business days. If you need to cancel faster, look for a phone number on the support page or in your account settings — some regions have phone support available. When you contact them, have your account email and the last four digits of the payment method ready.

Confirming the cancellation on your bank statement

After you cancel, wait until after your renewal date has passed, then check your credit card or bank statement. You should see that no new charge appeared. If a charge does appear after your cancellation date, take a screenshot of your cancellation confirmation email and contact your bank or credit card company to dispute the charge. Most banks can reverse unauthorized recurring charges within 60 days.

If you see a charge but you are not sure whether it is from before or after your cancellation, check the date on your cancellation confirmation email. Charges that post before that date are normal; charges after that date should not happen and should be disputed.

Reactivating your Blink membership later

If you cancel and later want to reactivate, you can sign back up through the app or website the same way you originally did. Blink does not charge a reactivation fee. Your cameras and account history will still be there, though any videos stored in the cloud during the time you were cancelled may have been deleted depending on your plan.

When you reactivate, you will start a new billing cycle. If you had a yearly plan before, you can choose yearly or monthly when you sign up again — Blink does not automatically put you back on the same plan type.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will cancelling delete my Blink account?

No. Cancelling your membership only stops the recurring charges and removes paid features. Your account, cameras, and video history stay in place. You can still log in and view your cameras on the free tier.

When does the cancellation take effect?

Cancellation takes effect when ready when you confirm it. However, if you have already been charged for the current month or year, you will not get a refund. Your paid access continues until the end of that billing period, then stops.

Can I cancel a yearly plan early without a penalty?

Blink does not charge early cancellation fees. You can cancel a yearly plan at any time, but you will not receive a refund for the unused portion of the year. Your access continues until the end of the year you paid for.

What if I forgot my password and cannot log in to cancel?

Go to the Blink login page and click Forgot Password. Blink will send a reset link to your email. Once you reset your password and log in, follow the cancellation steps above. If you cannot access the email address on your account, contact Blink support with proof of identity.

Do I need to uninstall the Blink app to cancel my membership?

No. Uninstalling the app does not cancel your membership or stop charges. You must cancel through your account settings in the app or on the website, or contact Blink support directly.
