How to Cancel Grubhub in 2026
To cancel Grubhub+, open the Grubhub app, tap your account icon, tap the Settings gear, choose Grubhub+ membership, then tap Cancel membership and confirm. You can also do it on the website at grubhub.com under Grubhub+ membership. Cancel at least 24 hours before your renewal date to avoid the next charge. Your benefits stay active until the end of the current billing period, and there is no partial refund.
Short answer: Cancel Grubhub+ in the app (or on grubhub.com) under Grubhub+ membership. Do it 24+ hours before renewal. If you got Grubhub+ free with Amazon Prime, or you subscribed through the Apple App Store or Google Play, you cancel through that provider instead, not inside Grubhub.

Where is the Grubhub cancel button actually hiding?
Here is the part Grubhub does not put in front of you. The cancel option is buried under the Settings gear, not on your main account screen. In the app, tap your account icon, then look for the small gear in the top corner. That is where Grubhub+ membership lives. People scroll their profile, do not see a cancel button, and assume they have to call. You do not.
Two more buried details worth knowing before you start. First, Grubhub does not give a partial refund for the days you have left. You keep Grubhub+ perks until the end of the period you already paid for, then it stops. Second, if you signed up somewhere other than Grubhub, like the Apple App Store, Google Play, or the free-with-Prime bundle, the Cancel membership button inside Grubhub may not do anything, because Grubhub is not the one charging you. More on that below.
How do I cancel Grubhub+ in the app?
This is the fastest route on a phone. It takes about two minutes.
- Open the Grubhub app and make sure you are logged in.
- Tap your account icon (often shown as "My Grubhub" or your profile).
- Tap the Settings gear, usually in the top-right corner.
- Select Grubhub+ membership.
- Tap Cancel membership. Grubhub will ask why you are leaving. Pick a reason.
- Tap Cancel membership again to confirm. Wait for the on-screen confirmation that says your membership is canceled.
If you do not see a clear confirmation, you are not done. Do not close the app until it tells you the membership is canceled.
How do I cancel Grubhub+ on the website?
If the app is being difficult, use a browser instead. Some people find the web flow clearer.
- Go to grubhub.com and log in with the same account.
- Open the account menu in the top-right corner.
- Select Grubhub+ membership.
- Click Cancel membership (some accounts show this as End subscription).
- Choose a reason, then confirm. Watch for a confirmation message or email.
Your account should now show the date your Grubhub+ benefits end. Until that date, nothing changes.
What is the deadline to avoid the next charge?
Cancel at least 24 hours before your renewal date. Grubhub+ renews automatically, and if you cancel inside that 24-hour window, the next charge can still go through. Once it does, Grubhub typically will not refund the unused portion. So the safe move is simple: find your renewal date in Grubhub+ membership, and cancel a full day before it, not the morning of.
You keep your Grubhub+ perks, like reduced or waived delivery fees on eligible orders, until the end of the period you already paid for. After that, your account drops back to standard, non-member pricing.
What if I got Grubhub+ free with Amazon Prime?
This trips a lot of people up. Since 2024, Amazon Prime members can get Grubhub+ as an ongoing Prime benefit. If that is you, the Cancel membership button inside Grubhub may not stop it, because the membership is tied to your Prime account, not billed by Grubhub directly. You unlink it on Amazon's side.
- Sign in to amazon.com and open Your Account.
- Go to Manage apps & services with data access (or your Amazon Pay consents) and find Grubhub.
- Select Details, then Stop sharing (or unlink) to disconnect Grubhub from your Amazon account.
Note the timing difference: unlinking the Prime-linked Grubhub+ ends the benefit right away, not at a period end, and canceling Prime itself also ends Grubhub+ immediately. Confirm the current steps on Amazon's own help pages, because bundle terms change.
What if I subscribed through Apple or Google?
If you started Grubhub+ from within the app on an iPhone or an Android phone, Apple or Google may be billing you, not Grubhub. In that case you have to cancel in the store, and the Grubhub cancel button will not stop the charge.
- Apple App Store: On your iPhone or iPad, open Settings, tap your name at the top, tap Subscriptions, select Grubhub+, then Cancel Subscription. You may need to scroll to find the cancel button.
- Google Play: Open the Play Store app, tap your profile icon, tap Payments & subscriptions, then Subscriptions, select Grubhub+, and tap Cancel subscription.
The same rule holds: cancel at least 24 hours before renewal, and you usually keep access to the end of the period you paid the store for.
How can Karen cancel Grubhub for me?
If you would rather not log in, hunt for the gear, click through the "are you sure" reason screens, and chase a confirmation, hand it to Karen. Karen is built to work cancellations, fight surprise charges, and keep pushing on your behalf. Tell Karen which account and what you want stopped, and she works the Grubhub+ cancellation and goes after any disputed charge for you. Karen cannot guarantee a result, but she does the chasing so you do not have to.
| Method | Effort for you | Best when | Outcome |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cancel in the Grubhub app or on grubhub.com | About 2 minutes | Grubhub billed you directly | Perks end at period close, no partial refund |
| Unlink at Amazon (free with Prime) | A few minutes on amazon.com | Grubhub+ came with your Prime membership | Benefit ends immediately when unlinked |
| Cancel through Apple or Google | Varies by store | You subscribed inside the app store | Store controls the cancel and timing |
| Put Karen on it | Almost none, you hand over the problem | You want it handled, or a charge disputed | Karen files and escalates on your behalf. Outcome is not guaranteed. |
Will I get a refund after I cancel Grubhub+?
Usually not for the current period. Grubhub's standard approach is that you keep your membership until the end of the billing cycle you already paid for, without a refund for the unused days. If you were charged after you thought you canceled, or billed for a renewal you never agreed to, that is a different fight. See our guide on what to do when a company will not refund you, and if the charge is flat-out wrong, how to dispute a credit card charge with your bank. Always confirm Grubhub's current terms on its own site first, because subscription terms change.
Common questions
Where is the cancel button for Grubhub+? In the app, tap your account icon, then the Settings gear, then Grubhub+ membership, then Cancel membership. On the web, it is under the account menu at grubhub.com, then Grubhub+ membership. It is not on your main profile screen, which is why people miss it.
Do I keep Grubhub+ until the end of the month I paid for? Yes, in most cases. Grubhub does not give a partial refund. Your Grubhub+ perks stay active until the end of the current billing period, then your account drops back to standard pricing. Some limited-time offers may end sooner, so check your account.
What is the deadline to avoid the next Grubhub+ charge? Cancel at least 24 hours before your renewal date. If you cancel inside that window, the next charge can still go through, and Grubhub typically will not refund it.
How do I cancel Grubhub+ if it came free with Amazon Prime? You unlink it on Amazon, not inside Grubhub. Go to Your Account on amazon.com, open Manage apps & services with data access (or your Amazon Pay consents), find Grubhub, and stop sharing. That ends the benefit right away. Canceling Prime also ends it.
Does canceling Grubhub+ delete my Grubhub account? No. Canceling the membership stops the paid perks but leaves your account and order history in place. Deleting the account is a separate step in your account settings.
Stop hunting for the gear and clicking through "are you sure" screens. Karen works to cancel Grubhub+, goes after the surprise renewal, and chases the confirmation so you do not have to. Put Karen on it.
