What's the catch when cancelling Xbox Game Pass?

How to cancel Xbox Game Pass

Online

Retention trap

Turn off recurring billing; Microsoft often counters with a cheap 1-month offer. Access runs to the end of the period.

Check your commitment and notice period first — the effective date may need to be weeks before the renewal.
Screenshot the confirmation screen or keep the confirmation email — it's your proof if billing continues.
Watch your next statement: one more charge can be legitimate (period already started), two never is.
Mark it cancelled in Unspentify so your money-reclaimed counter starts running.
