What Happens After You Cancel

After Your Cancellation

This is what happens after you make your cancellation request.

Coverage Period

Billing for PillowPays works on a monthly schedule. If you cancel, then your coverage period may end at the end of the current billing cycle. Check the full membership terms at pillowpays.com/legal for the exact details on when coverage ends relative to your cancellation date.

Pending Reimbursement Requests

If any reimbursement requests are made before the cancellation date, they will remain active and be handled. If you are unsure whether a request is still pending, please reach out to us via email at support@pillowpays.com or by phone at (302) 600-2256 before cancelling your subscription.

Future Billing

As of the date your cancellation takes effect, there should be no further monthly charges to your card or PayPal account.

Rejoining Later

If your situation changes and you want to rejoin PillowPays in the future, you can sign up for a new membership at any time through pillowpays.com. There's no penalty for having previously cancelled.

PillowPays Cancellation Policy: What the Terms Say

PillowPays publishes its full membership terms on its website. You can review the complete cancellation policy, refund terms, and membership conditions at pillowpays.com/legal. The following is a brief description of all those facts that are based on publicly available information:

No obligation: There is neither any contractual obligation nor any term period necessary

Billing every month: This feature is available for Basic Protection (monthly rate $10) and Premium Shield (monthly rate $30) plans

It does not affect primary insurance: Your primary insurance would not be affected by cancelling PillowPays.

Flexible membership: Membership of PillowPays is flexible and portable from one insurer to another

For questions about refunds, such as whether you will receive a refund for the unused portion of your membership after cancellation or how any prorated charges are handled, contact PillowPays support directly. Refund eligibility depends on the timing of your cancellation and the terms of your specific plan. For complete details, review the legal terms at pillowpays.com/legal.

"A transparent cancellation policy is one of the strongest trust signals a membership service can offer," says Linda Park, Certified Financial Planner at Horizon Wealth Advisors. "If a company makes it easy to leave, it's because they're confident the product is good enough to keep you."

Before You Cancel: Three Questions to Ask Yourself

You’re entitled to cancel, and PillowPays makes it fast and easy. But before you do so, just take five minutes to consider these three questions.

Question One: How Much Deductible Liability Do You Have at the Moment?

Do the math on the total amount of your deductibles from all of your policies, whether auto, home, rental, or business. Are things different now than when you signed up? If your deductibles are still more than $2,000, then you’ve still got some exposure. For help calculating your exposure, see What Is Deductible Reimbursement? A Guide to Financial Safety.

Question 2: Can One Pay for Two Deductibles in One Quarter?

Having been in a car collision in March, and then the bursting of the pipe in April. Having gone through a hailstorm attack and an intruder in one month. This is the scenario that one does not wish to happen when enrolling in the service. It would be in your best interest to stay a member if paying for two deductibles in one quarter causes any financial strain on you.

Question 3: Are You Saving Money Through the Premium Strategy?

Many PillowPays members have raised their primary insurance deductibles to lower their premiums, knowing PillowPays covers the higher deductible. If you cancel, you'll want to lower your deductibles back, which means your premiums go up again. 

According to the Insurance Information Institute, dropping a $1,000 deductible back to $500 can increase your homeowners' premium by up to 25%. Make sure the math still works without PillowPays before you cancel.

When It Pays to Cancel... (And When It Doesn’t)

Cancellation Is Likely Warranted if...

When It Pays to Cancel... (And When It Doesn’t):oss all policies. You’ve established a savings account specifically for your deductibles, which covers at least double your highest deductible. You no longer own any properties, including a house or car. Or you’re headed toward a situation with very little deductible exposure.

Cancellation Is Not Likely Warranted if...

You have a home and a car, with total deductibles exceeding $1,500. You’ve increased your deductibles on your insurance policies to reduce premiums, and PillowPays is underwriting this. You live in a state prone to storms where deductibles are based on percentages. Or you have commercial property, because Basic Protection does not cover commercial property, and without PillowPays, you get nothing. For more on how homeowners' deductibles vary, see Best Homeowners Insurance for Deductible Reimbursement.

"One of the best things a family can do is treat their deductible like a predictable expense rather than a surprise," says Robert Delgado, Independent Insurance Agent and member of the National Association of Insurance and Financial Advisors (NAIFA). "Before cancelling any protection, make sure you have a replacement plan for covering that risk. Going from protected to unprotected without a backup is the most expensive mistake you can make."

Here are three actions you can take immediately to protect yourself from deductibles. If you decide to cancel, here is one action you can take immediately to protect yourself from deductible risk without a membership: open a savings account designated as a "deductible payments fund." Set up an automatic monthly transfer of $50-$200. Aiming to save as much as your highest deductible amount, which is usually from $1,000 to $2,500. This money should not be used for anything else.

Tip #2: Reduce Your Insurance Deductibles First

If you increased your deductibles during your time at PillowPays to reduce premiums, contact your insurance company first and have those deductibles reduced. Otherwise, you'll find yourself with expensive deductibles and nothing to pay them. The NAIC consumer guides can help you understand your options.

Tip #3: Revisit Your Deductible Risk Each Year

Insurance policy terms change. You purchase a new vehicle. You make upgrades to your house (thus, the coverage increases, and so does the percentage-based deductible). You become a tenant in a commercial property. All of these events may greatly affect your deductible risk. And even if you terminate the insurance policy, revisit it each year.
