Did you know you can skip a delivery week instead? Here’s how:

  1. Log in to your account.
  2. Click on My Menu.

Do you offer plans for singles?
Our entry level subscription feeds 2 people, but we have many single-person households who choose the 3-meal plan for 2 people. Not only are the meals perfect to share with friends, but they also make for a delicious lunch the next day.
Why am I seeing a $1 charge?

The $1 you may see at checkout is simply an authorization charge to verify the validity of the payment method you are using.

If you update your payment method on an active subscription, you will also see a $1 charge to verify the validity of the new payment method you are using.

Rest assured, however, this dollar will be returned to you with 5-10 business days.

How do I apply a coupon or voucher?

Currently, some coupons can only be applied when opening a new subscription or reactivating a canceled one.

There will be a promo code box during the checkout or reactivation process.

Simply enter your code there and click Apply.

If you received your voucher in an email, just click on the link in your email and follow the prompts to apply your discount.

I am redeeming a free box or gift card. Why do I need to enter a payment method?

When signing up for HelloFresh, you are enrolling in a weekly, auto-renewing subscription service.

Coupons or vouchers may discount all or part of your initial delivery, but your subscription will automatically continue (with weekly charges to your account) unless you choose to skip or cancel deliveries.

Just remember to let us know at least 5 days prior to your next scheduled delivery if you wish to skip or cancel — no minimum commitment required.

If you are redeeming an e-gift card purchased from our website, you will not be enrolled in a subscription.

We simply ask for a valid payment method so that you can easily convert your account to a subscription if you wish to continue after receiving your free box.

Rest assured, however, that we will not enroll or charge you for additional deliveries unless you choose to convert your gift card account to a subscription.
