Cancel yearly payment term account
> How do I close my account?
You can cancel your account at any time by logging into the Member's area, and clicking on the "Account" sub tab. From there, there's a cancel account link. If canceling within the first seven days, be sure to ask for a credit on the cancellation form. You can also remove all Linodes from your account via the "remove" link on the Linode Manager tab. This will issue a pro-rated credit to your account, which will be applied to any future invoices and effectively allows you to keep a Linode account open without incurring charges.
I wanted to make sure I understand this correctly. About 6 months ago I bought the 1 year plan to get the 10% discount. It turns out that I do not need the service any more.
Will I get a refund on the unused portion of the year if I cancel now?
Thanks for your help. I found the linode service was great, but I unfortunately I don't have the traffic I hoped for.
Thanks

Anyhow, to your question at hand, don't quote me on this because I might not be correct, but I believe the way it works is that the amount that you'll get back is calculated as if you hadn't gotten the 10% discount.
As in:
$20/mth linode
12-month pre-pay, 10% discount
2012.9 = $216 paid
Canceling after 6 months:
20*6 = $120 consumed since discount is cancelled by breaking the term
216-120 = $96 refund
But, I could be misremembering all this!
@Guspaz:
You can always downgrade your Linode, a 512 can host a lot more than most people might expect ^_^

Thanks for the help. I'm actually on the lowest server available.
