/subscription-recovery · Consumer recovery — the negotiation lane, generalized beyond Amazon

You're still paying for something. Find it.

This is the same contract negotiator as amazon-returns-recovery, pointed at everything Amazon doesn't touch. It builds an inventory of recurring charges from the highest-leverage sources first — the App Store, Google Play, and PayPal subscription hubs, each a single page listing every merchant with standing billing authorization — then a bank/card statement scan and a direct ask, for anything those hubs miss. It reports every find, and — only after the owner confirms — cancels unused subscriptions directly (no negotiation needed) or negotiates a refund for a genuinely forgotten charge through that service's own support.

What it covers

Phase 1a discovery is read-only: checks the App Store, Google Play, and PayPal subscription hubs first, since each lists every merchant with standing billing authorization on one page — the highest-leverage single sources.
Phase 1b scans a bank or card statement the user shares for recurring merchant charges those hubs miss (direct-bill services like Netflix, Hulu, a gym).
Phase 1c asks the user directly for anything else they know they're paying for — people typically remember 60-70% unprompted and the rest only when asked.
Phase 1d hands off Amazon-billed subscriptions (Prime Video Channels, Audible, Kindle Unlimited) to amazon-returns-recovery instead of duplicating that flow.
Phase 2 stops and reports: service, price, billing cadence, next charge date, and usage signal — the account owner picks which to pursue and what outcome they want per service.
Phase 3 executes: straight cancellations go through the platform hub or the service's own settings page directly, no negotiation needed. Refund/goodwill asks for genuinely forgotten charges use the same ground rules as amazon-returns-recovery — state only true facts, one polite counter, confirm the outcome in writing.
A growing references/service-playbook.md records each service's validated click-path once confirmed live, so later runs don't rediscover it from scratch.
Phase 4 reports per service: canceled, refunded, or disputed and declined — with one-time dollars kept separate from ongoing monthly/annual savings.

When to use it

The user wants to audit recurring charges generally, or asks "what am I still paying for."
The user names a specific non-Amazon subscription — Netflix, Spotify, a gym, a SaaS tool, a news site, an App Store or Google Play subscription.
Finding and canceling subscriptions that look forgotten or unused, or disputing a charge (billed twice, charged after a cancellation attempt).
Requires the Claude in Chrome browser extension for anything checked or acted on in-browser; some services may need the user to share a statement or app screen directly.
Not for: Amazon-billed subscriptions or Amazon returns/restocking fees (use amazon-returns-recovery instead), automated statement parsing without the user directly sharing it, or entering payment credentials on the user's behalf.

Best prompt

Use $subscription-recovery to audit my recurring subscriptions across App Store, Google Play, PayPal, and anything else I'm paying for, report what you find, and after I confirm which ones to pursue, cancel them directly or negotiate a refund through that service's support.
