Have Grok Bot find a surprise renewal's receipt, cancel it and ask for a refund

Screenshot of a SmilePlus support email telling Glenn that order #16326 was canceled before shipping and fully refunded, and that his subscription is canceled

@glenntkim noticed a recurring subscription charge on his card while driving. Through Grok in his Tesla he had his Grok Bot search old emails for the original purchase; with the receipt, the agent cancelled the subscription online and asked whether to request a refund of the renewal. He said yes, it emailed the company, and he says the refund arrived two hours later.

Try it yourself

What you get

The receipt for an unwanted renewal found in your email, the subscription cancelled, and a refund request sent once you approve it.

Tools

  • Grok Bot
  • Email access
  • Your login for the merchant's site

Time / cost: About two hours from request to refund, per the author

Steps

  1. Tell the bot the merchant, amount and date of the charge.
  2. Have it find the original receipt and renewal notice in your email.
  3. Approve the cancellation.
  4. Approve the refund-request draft before it is sent.

Copy-ready prompt

A recurring charge from [MERCHANT] for [AMOUNT] hit my card on [DATE].

1. Search my email for the original purchase or signup receipt and any renewal notice. Show me what you found.
2. Tell me how to cancel. Cancel only after I say yes.
3. Draft a short, polite request for a refund of this renewal that cites the receipt and the date I cancelled. Show me the draft and wait for my approval before sending.

Prompt written by AgentPlays from the source. Fill in the [brackets] and approve before anything is sent or bought.

Watch out: Refunds are up to the merchant. Keep cancellations and sends behind your approval, and never paste full card numbers into a chat.

In their words

I immediately had Grok contact my Grok Bot and had one of my agents search through my old emails to pull up the initial purchase, with the receipt the agent went online and cancelled the subscription and asked if it should contact customer service to ask for a refund of the renewal this morning. Of course I said yes and it then wrote an email and sent it off to the company. Two hours later I had my refund!
