Step 1 — Stop the next charge
- On iPhone or iPad: Settings → tap your name → Subscriptions.
- Select Brilliant: Learn Math & Coding → Cancel Subscription.

Only a front for surprising you with a non refundable rebill. No warning, no preauthorization.
Be careful when you get an offer for a 7-day free trial. The app crashed and charged me for the whole year without even letting me try it first. When I contacted support — both the app’s and Apple’s — no one was willing to give me a refund, even though it wasn’t my fault. I lost $200.

Questions
Can I get a refund after I already canceled Brilliant: Learn Math & Coding?
Yes. Canceling stops future renewals but does not refund a charge that already went through. You request that separately at reportaproblem.apple.com, and "I was charged after I canceled the subscription" is the reason to select.
How long do I have to ask for a refund?
Apple generally expects refund requests within 90 days of the charge. Ask as soon as you notice it — requests on recent charges are approved more often.
Apple declined my request. Is that the end?
No. A first decline is common and is often automated. You can submit the request again with more specific facts and ask for review by a senior advisor. If it is declined again, you can dispute the charge with your card issuer.
Will I lose access to Brilliant: Learn Math & Coding if I cancel?
You keep access until the end of the period you already paid for. Canceling only stops the next renewal.
