Unable to cancel Nest Aware 1st Gen

neves710 — Mon, 07 Feb 2022 14:48:21 GMT

I have been unable to cancel my nest aware 1st gen subscription. It only gives me the option to upgrade to the new plan. After spending 1 hour on the chat with google, they still can't cancel it. They just have me keep going to the link to manage my subscription and it only gives the option to upgrade. Any one else had this experience?

YES! I am currently going through the EXACT SAME issue. Trying to cancel auto renewal on gen 1 nest aware as the doorbell constantly fails after 2 years. Now every time the button gets pressed the doorbell and camera go offline. So no video or intercom or bell ring notification until AFTER the person leaves about 5 minutes of nothing in nest aware while offline. No one at Google or NEST can fix the problem. So I want to cancel the automatic renewal. I tried through the Home app, Google Pay site, NEST app, and Google Account Subscriptions, ALL online avenues dump into the same portal to upgrade service. There is NO cancel option. I spent 3 hours trying to cancel. I followed Googles help FAQs. Spoke to a rep by phone and then transferred to an escalated rep that has emailed me twice to say they have escalated it somewhere else. I even had to remove the doorbell from the front door and send the escalation rep a photo of the serial number and QR code on the backside of the device. I have NEVER EVER had such a frustrating encounter with customer service in my life. It’s been nearly a week and still not resolved. My account is set to auto renew end of the month. If it does I will be contesting the charge with my credit card company. How hard is it to cancel an auto renewal? Also tried many online posted help suggestions on various sites. Still the same outcome. End up on a page that shows my subscription with option to upgrade. No where to cancel.

I have multiple times. It all ends with, “a specialist will have to e-mail you to confirm it ls cancelled.” I never get the e-mail.

I called back and asked to have it canceled and confirmed and I insisted I would wait on the phone until I received an email from them confirming the cancellation. When I was told it couldn’t be done by that particular person, I firmly asked for that person’s manager. I repeated this until I finally got to a level that could or would cancel and confirm it by email while I was waiting on the phone call. It took several HOURS. But I was able to have it canceled. Unfortunately I did have to get very angry and demanding during the course of this cancellation process. It should not be set up like this. Anyone with basic code writing skills can put a cancel button on the page to dump into an actionable database. Every advertisement email in the U.S. has an “unsubscribe” button/link at the bottom. You mean to tell me Google/Nest can’t code an unsubscribe button? THEY DON’T WANT TO. They have chosen not to make it easy to get out of their subscription. Horrendous customer service and shady business practice.
