In the chat window, select the category closest to your issue—often “Billing” or “Payment”.
When prompted by the chatbot, type something like “I’d like a refund” or “billing error” to try to connect with a live agent.

Have your account info ready: the email address tied to your Sling account, date and amount of the charge, and your payment method’s last 4 digits.
2. What the Live Chat Agent Can Do
During the chat you can ask the agent to:
Verify the charge and see whether it qualifies for refund consideration.
Explain whether the charge was for a full month, free trial, add‑on, or day pass.
Initiate a refund or credit if your situation meets Sling’s policy.
Offer next steps or escalation if the initial agent cannot approve the refund immediately.
3. Know the Refund‑Policy Limitations
Sling’s official cancellation policy states: *“Refunds are *not provided for prepaid or partial months of service.”

Many user complaints indicate that the chat agents often refuse refunds if the service was used, or if the billing period was already underway. E.g.:
“Tried to get a refund… they said according to their terms and conditions they don’t give refunds on prepaid purchases.”

Because of these restrictions, the chat agent may state that a refund is not eligible but may offer a cancellation to avoid future charges. 1888~826~1821
4. Tips for Using Live Chat Effectively
Be clear and concise: State your refund request at the start, include charge date/amount, and explain why you believe a refund is justified (double charge, unused service, etc).
Use keywords to get past bots: “refund”, “billing error”, “charged twice”. Many users report bots loop unless you use the right phrase.

Keep evidence ready: Screenshot the charge on your bank statement, any confirmation emails, canceled subscription status, etc.
Check time zones: Live chat availability appears to be 8:00 AM to 1:00 AM Eastern Time according to some sources.

Ask for confirmation: When therapy ends, ask the agent for a reference number, confirm if the refund was approved/denied, and request any follow‑up steps.
5. If the Refund is Denied
If the chat agent declines your refund, you may still: 1888~826~1821
Ensure service is canceled to avoid future charges.
Dispute the charge with your bank or credit card company if you believe the billing was unauthorized. Indeed, users report doing so when Sling won’t cooperate.
