Deactivating an account

Deactivating an account is a permanent action and cannot be undone. Once your account is deactivated, it cannot be reinstated. If you decide to join Meetup again in the future, you’ll need to create a new account. 

Accidental account deletion

If you had more than one account and deactivated the wrong one, it cannot be restored. Removed accounts cannot be reactivated. To keep using Meetup, you’ll need to create a new account and rejoin your groups.

To prevent this, double-check that you’re signed into the correct account before closing it.

Will I get a confirmation after deactivation?

You will not receive a confirmation email when your account is closed.
👉 If you see the final confirmation screen after clicking Submit, your account has been deactivated successfully.

Will my payments be canceled?

Yes, once you deactivate your account, any subscription you still have active on Meetup (as organizer, or linked to recurring dues you're paying to be part of a group) will automatically be canceled. 

❗ Exception: If you subscribed through Apple or Google, you must cancel directly through Apple or Google before deactivating. Meetup cannot stop those payments.
