Customer feedback

Customers are frustrated by the automatic renewal and the strict 6-week cancellation deadline. The requirement to cancel by written letter is seen as cumbersome and outdated. Many users miss the deadline because Deutsche Bahn sends no reminders, resulting in unwanted renewals and unexpected costs.

About BahnCard

The BahnCard (25, 50 or 100) is an annual discount subscription for Deutsche Bahn train tickets that renews automatically. To prevent renewal, you must cancel at least 6 weeks before the renewal date. You can cancel in writing by post or online through the BahnCard service portal at bahn.de/bahncard. Deutsche Bahn does not send reminders, so many customers miss the deadline. With Time to Cancel, your cancellation is handled quickly and correctly, ensuring it is submitted on time.
