Unexpected Hulu charge? Menus hard to find? Follow these quick steps to cancel and ask for a refund the right way.
Hulu is a streaming service (movies, shows, and live TV) that renews automatically each billing cycle until you stop it. You can cancel on the web or in the app, but some sign-ups through Apple, Amazon, or Google must be managed in that store. On statements, your charge may show different wording depending on your bank; see the end of this guide for descriptor tips.
