Section 4: Renewal information

• Subscription renewal and price information

All organizer subscriptions automatically renew, but your subscription may expire for two reasons:

1. You cancel the auto-renewal
2. The credit card on file for your subscription is declined

If either of the above happens, your subscription will stay active until its scheduled expiration date. After that, your organizer account will enter a two-week grace period, during which you can always update your payment details to keep your subscription from expiring.

When the grace period ends, you'll be removed as the organizer of your Meetup groups. At that time, we’ll notify co-organizers and assistant organizers of your departure, giving them first dibs to take over your organizer role. After that, we’ll extend the invitation to all group members. Your Meetup group will stay open under a new organizer, but if no one volunteers to lead, it will automatically close after 15 days.

Organizer subscriptions renew automatically. To prevent your subscription from automatically renewing, you’ll need to cancel your subscription from your subscription page. Your subscription will remain active until the end of your billing cycle.

Android app instructions

1. Tap Profile.
2. Tap the three dots.

What happens to my groups when my subscription expires?

If you cancel your subscription, it will enter a two-week grace period at the end of your billing cycle. When that period ends, you'll be stepped down as the organizer of your groups.

Once your subscription expires, we’ll notify your group's leadership members of your departure and invite them to step up as the new organizer. After that, we’ll extend the invitation to all group members. Your group will stay active under its new organizer or, if no one volunteers, it will automatically close. You can also choose to close your group permanently.

You can manage your subscription from your Organizer Subscription page.

From your subscription page, you can:

• View your current plan and your next renewal date
• Change your subscription plan or billing cycle
• See your past receipts in your payment history

Managing a subscription on an Android device

Apple App Store subscribers

If you started your subscription on the iOS app, you can manage your subscription through the App Store on your device.

The process of transferring ownership of a Meetup group starts with the current organizer and ends with the organizer taking over. The future organizer must already be a member of the Meetup group they will organize.

Organizers can only transfer group ownership via their desktop web browser.

Current organizer instructions:

1. From the Meetup group homepage, select Manage group.
2. Choose Step down as Organizer.
3. In the search box, enter the new organizer’s account name who is taking your place.
4. Check the box beside their name and select Next.
5. Add a custom message for the potential incoming organizer(s) (this is particularly helpful if you have not yet spoken with the organizer you are nominating about transferring group ownership to them).
6. Select Ask selected members.

Your subscription will not be transferred to the group's new organizer. They must start their own subscription when they step up. After you’ve transferred your group to a new organizer, you can start a new group or, if you’re not organizing any other groups, cancel your subscription to avoid renewal payments.

Nominated organizer instructions:

1. Navigate to the Meetup group's homepage. You should be in the "About" Section from the top navigation.
2. Scroll down to the "Organizer" section.
3. Select Accept to confirm the nomination.

Once the new organizer accepts the nomination, they will be the primary organizer of the Meetup group. They’ll be responsible for all group membership and support. At this time, the previous organizer rescinds their leadership role and becomes a member of the group, and can leave if they want.

Meetup only issues refunds to eligible organizers who started a subscription on Meetup’s website or through the Google Play Store. Consumer protection regulations may apply to subscribers in the European Union.
