Cancel a Membership
How to cancel a membership.
Please understand that this site is run by the membership dues our members pay and we sure do not want to see you leave, we understand that things change in our personal lives. Unlike many sites and some other programs we do not HIDE or make things super difficult to get out of a membership on the HotAirBalloonist.com site. However, we understand that the site is very large and you may not know where to go or what to look for when you need to cancel a membership so we have made this video to make it even more simple for you to do so. We do not want you to leave but if you need to we understand.
Thank you for all you do for the Balloon World.
