We’ve got your back! If you forget to choose or don’t like any of the selections *sad face* your credit will roll over to the following month (credits never expire!) Note: To opt out of the monthly fee you must skip.
Every month, active members that meet our criteria can choose to skip by clicking “Skip this month” under the Profile tab on our app. The deadline for choosing to skip is the 15th of the month. You can skip as many months in a row as you’d like.
When you skip a month, you don’t get billed on the next billing cycle. Ex. If you skip October, you won’t be billed for November, but will be able to use your existing credit towards a November book.
To be eligible to skip you must fit all 3 criteria:
- Be an active member for at least 1 billing cycle.
- Not have ordered a box for that month.
- Click “Skip this month” in-app before the 15th of the month.
Feeling regret? No worries, please contact support at info@aardvarkbookclub.com and we can unskip you!
