I canceled on 33m2, but my card charge was still there

I paid for a 33m2 booking by card and canceled, but sometimes the charge still shows on your card account.

“I canceled it, but when will the charge go away?”

“What if the cancellation didn’t go through?”

According to 33m2’s official guidance, card refunds can take up to 7 days, depending on your card issuer.
Here’s how long card refunds take, what to check after canceling, and who to contact if it’s been more than 7 days.


33m2 card refunds: how long do they take?

When will a canceled 33m2 card charge be refunded?

According to 33m2’s official guidance, credit card refunds can take up to 7 days, depending on your card issuer.
The charge won’t disappear as soon as you cancel. Your card issuer needs to process the refund first.
So if the charge still appears in your card app right after canceling, it doesn’t necessarily mean there’s a problem.

How long do bank transfer refunds take?

Bank transfer refunds take up to 3 business days from the cancellation request.

How to cancel a card payment

Go to Reservations on 33m2, open your reservation details, and tap Cancel.
After canceling, check the details page to make sure your request was received.
Guests can’t cancel a booking themselves after the move-in date.
If you need to leave after moving in, this is handled as an early move-out, not a cancellation. Any refund depends on your agreement with the host and your contract terms.

You may not get the full amount back

Does canceling a card payment mean I’ll get everything back?

That depends on the host’s refund policy. On 33m2, the host’s policy applies before you sign the contract.
Cancel within the free cancellation period for a full refund. After that, a partial deduction may apply under the policy.
Even if you cancel on the day you pay, a penalty of 10% of the rent and contract fee applies if you’re outside the host’s free cancellation period.
Before canceling, check not only when the refund will arrive, but also how much you’ll get back.

Will my deposit be refunded to my card?

The 33m2 deposit is ₩330,000. If you paid by card, it’s returned as a partial card refund.
Depending on your card issuer, the deposit refund can take up to 7 days.
The deposit, maintenance fee, and cleaning fee are fully refundable when you cancel the contract.
