What this means for you: The most common complaint is not being able to find how to cancel. Links inside the app often lead nowhere. If RatePunk: Cheap Plane Tickets bills through Apple, the only switch that actually stops it is in Settings (Step 1) — do that before asking for the refund.
Check first: 2 reviewers say RatePunk: Cheap Plane Tickets charged them outside Apple. If it is not listed in your Apple subscriptions, Apple's refund form will not help — see the last question at the bottom of this page.
Step 1 — Stop the next charge
- On iPhone or iPad open Settings and tap your name at the very top.
- Tap Subscriptions, then RatePunk: Cheap Plane Tickets.
- Tap Cancel Subscription and confirm.
Deleting the app does not cancel the subscription. This is the single most common reason people keep getting charged.
Then check it actually worked
Look at the date line under the subscription. This one word tells you whether you are still being charged:
If it still says Renews, the cancellation did not go through — go back and do it again. Either way, a charge that already happened is refunded separately, in Step 2.
Step 2 — Ask Apple for the charge back
Answer these and you'll get the exact wording to paste into Apple's form. Nothing is sent anywhere — it's generated in your browser.
Free — the refund request to send Apple. No account, no email required.
$5.99 one time — the appeal letter for when Apple declines your first request, plus the chargeback letter for your card issuer if Apple still says no. Emailed to you. Not a subscription. Nothing renews. Full refund on request — see Refund Policy.
You're not the only one
Recent 1–2★ reviews of RatePunk: Cheap Plane Tickets on the App Store, about billing:
I tried app out and within cancellation/refund period tried to cancel following their instructions. App does not show up in my subscriptions. Emailed them for help with cancellation. NO REPLY. …… UPDATE: Finally heard from them 1 day beyond 14 day cancellation period when I wrote the above negative review. No refund as of yet. Also, be ware. If you buy subscription, and buy an add on, I.e. Elite upgrade or any other…
Must buy another subscription to find business class air availability. Not revealed until after purchasing the standard. Unable to cancel each separate purchase. Run around and links do not exist to cancel and manage account.
You’ll get a seemingly unbelievably good deal alert, click on it 2 seconds later and get a “this deal has expired” message. Absolute garbage

Questions
Can I get a refund after I already canceled RatePunk: Cheap Plane Tickets?
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 RatePunk: Cheap Plane Tickets if I cancel?
You keep access until the end of the period you already paid for. Canceling only stops the next renewal.
RatePunk: Cheap Plane Tickets is not listed in my Apple subscriptions, but I am still being charged. What now?
Then Apple is not the one charging you — the company is billing your card or PayPal directly, and reportaproblem.apple.com will not help. Check your card or PayPal statement for the merchant name, cancel from your account on that company website, and ask them for the refund in writing. If they do not answer within a few days, dispute the charge with your bank or card issuer instead.
