How to Cancel Fabletics VIP Membership (2026)
Updated February 2026 · 7 min read
⚠️ Fabletics charges $59.95/month as a VIP "member credit" — even if you don't buy anything. That's $719.40/year for store credit you might never use.
Fabletics is Kate Hudson's activewear brand that lures you in with "2 for $24" deals — then enrolls you in a VIP membership that charges $59.95 every month. The charge appears even if you don't shop. You have to actively "skip" each month by the 5th or get charged.
Most people don't realize they're VIP members until they see the charges on their bank statement. Here's how to escape.
🚫 Why Fabletics Is So Hard to Cancel
- No online cancellation button — you can't cancel through the website or app
- Must contact support — live chat or phone call required
- Aggressive retention scripts — agents are trained to offer discounts and pause instead of cancel
- "Skip" trap — you must skip by the 5th of each month or you get charged automatically
- Member credits are non-refundable — once charged, the credit stays in your account but can't be cashed out
- BBB complaint magnet — thousands of complaints about unauthorized charges
Method 1: Cancel via Live Chat (Fastest)
- Go to fabletics.com and log into your account
- Click the chat icon in the bottom-right corner
- Type "I want to cancel my VIP membership"
- When connected to an agent, say: "I want to cancel my membership completely, not pause or skip"
- They'll offer discounts and pauses — decline everything
- Say: "I understand, but I'd like to proceed with full cancellation"
- Get a confirmation email and screenshot the chat
💡 Pro tip: Be very clear you want cancellation, not a pause. Agents will try to "pause" your membership for 1-3 months instead. Paused memberships auto-resume and start charging again.
Method 2: Cancel by Phone
- Call 1-844-322-5384
- Hours: Monday-Friday 6am-6pm PT, Saturday-Sunday 6am-3pm PT
- Say "cancel membership" to get to a representative
- Be firm: "I want to permanently cancel, not skip or pause"
- Ask for a confirmation number and email confirmation
Method 3: Cancel Through Your Bank (Nuclear Option)
If Fabletics keeps charging you after cancellation (a common complaint), contact your bank:
- Request a chargeback for any charges after your cancellation date
- Block future charges from Fabletics/TechStyle Fashion Group
- File a BBB complaint at bbb.org — Fabletics is very responsive to BBB complaints
- File an FTC complaint at reportfraud.ftc.gov for unauthorized charges
🎯 Beating the Retention Script
Fabletics agents will throw everything at you. Here's what to expect and how to respond:
🗣️ "We can skip this month for free!"
→ "No thanks. I want to cancel completely, not skip."
🗣️ "How about 50% off your next outfit?"
→ "I appreciate the offer, but please process the cancellation."
🗣️ "You'll lose your member credits!"
→ "I understand. I'd still like to cancel." (Use remaining credits before canceling if possible)
🗣️ "We can put your account on hold for 3 months."
→ "No. I want full cancellation, not a hold. Please confirm the cancellation is processed."
💰 Use Your Member Credits First
Before canceling, check how many credits you have. Each credit is worth one 2-piece outfit. You lose unused credits when you cancel, so:
- Log in → go to "My Credits"
- Each credit = ~$59.95 worth of clothing
- Use them all before canceling
- You can also use credits on sale items (better value)
📅 The Skip-by-the-5th Trap
If you're not ready to cancel yet, you MUST skip each month by the 5th. Here's the reality:
- Skip window: 1st through 5th of each month
- Miss the window = automatic $59.95 charge
- No refunds on missed skips (per their policy)
- Set a recurring calendar reminder for the 1st of each month
- Better yet: just cancel. Remembering to skip 12 times a year is designed to make you fail.
🧮 The math: If you forget to skip just 3 months in a year, that's $179.85 in unwanted charges. Over 2 years of membership, the average person forgets ~6 months = $359.70 wasted.
🔄 Better Alternatives
- Target All in Motion — similar quality activewear, $15-30/piece, no membership
- Amazon Essentials — budget activewear with free Prime returns
- Old Navy Active — frequent 40-50% off sales, no membership
- Costco activewear — $15-20 leggings, surprisingly great quality
- Halara — direct competitor, similar styles, no VIP trap
✅ After Cancellation Checklist
- ✅ Get written confirmation (email or chat screenshot)
- ✅ Save the confirmation number
- ✅ Monitor your bank statement for 2-3 months
- ✅ If charges continue, dispute with your bank immediately
- ✅ Check if you're also a member of ShoeDazzle or Savage X Fenty (same parent company TechStyle)
🚨 TechStyle owns multiple brands: Fabletics, ShoeDazzle, Savage X Fenty, and JustFab. If you were enrolled in one, check if you're unknowingly a VIP member of the others. Same billing system, same skip-by-the-5th trap.
