Migliaccio & Rathod LLP is investigating potential automatic renewal and duplicate billing issues affecting Blinkist subscribers, including consumers who were charged after cancelling their memberships.
Consumers have reported unexpected annual renewal charges, subscriptions continuing after cancellation, and multiple active subscriptions through different purchasing platforms. One customer reported cancelling a Blinkist membership but later discovering that a separate subscription remained active. Another consumer alleged being charged approximately $99.99 for an annual subscription after cancellation.
