1. When am I entitled to a cash refund?
- For Brazilians
Cancellation of the plan with a refund of the invested amount is eligible only for travelers who request cancellation within 7 (seven) days after confirmation of payment. The refund is made via credit card return or, in the case of payment via bank slip, deposit into the account.
- For non-Brazilians
Cancellation of the plan with a refund of the invested amount is eligible only for travelers who request cancellation within 7 (seven) days after confirmation of payment, as long as there is no use of the platform (see usage cases below). The refund is made via credit card return or PayPal.
2. When am I not entitled to a cash refund?
If cancellation of the plan is requested between 8 and 30 days after confirmation of payment of the chosen plan, with or without use of the service, travelers may receive a refund of the invested amount in the form of credits on the platform, which can be used as a discount on the purchase of a new Worldpackers plan in the future. This new plan will have all the conditions of a new plan at Worldpackers (validity, benefits, and policies applied).
The credits do not have an expiration date (see credit usage policies here).
3. When am I not entitled to any kind of refund?
In two situations, there is no possibility of a refund in any format:
- Refund requested more than 30 days after the purchase confirmation;
- One or more confirmed trips with a start date prior to the date of the refund request.
- If the traveler deletes their profile.
- There is no possibility of a refund in any way if the profile is deactivated by our team, in accordance with our Policies on Security and Quality of Experiences.
- We do not offer partial refunds.
Note: In the case of cancellation of the Worldpackers Pack Couple/Friends plan, refunds, or credits on the platform are made to the person who made the membership payment.
The following constitute "use of services":
- One or more applications to hosts with a response;
- One or more pre-approvals from hosts;
- One or more travel confirmations with a start date after the refund request.
Worldpackers is not responsible for:
- Problems with passports and/or visas;
- Availability and/or cost of transportation to the host;
- Availability on the host's calendar;
- Health and/or travel insurance;
- Responsiveness and/or acceptance on the part of the host.
4. Am I entitled to a cash refund, and how long will it take to receive it?
The deadline for the amount to become available to you varies according to the processes of your bank and credit card operator, so we always recommend that you contact them to check when the money will be available to you, okay?
