How to stop Chime SpotMe from taking money?
SpotMe grabs the next money that lands in your account to pay itself back, so you need to shut the feature off and wipe any remaining balance. Open the Chime app, head to Profile → SpotMe → Manage SpotMe Accounts and flip the SpotMe toggle off to unenroll. Once you’ve topped up enough cash to clear the negative amount, Chime won’t pull from future deposits.
How do I cancel my Chime SpotMe cash advance account?
To turn SpotMe off, open the Chime app, head to Profile → SpotMe → Manage SpotMe Accounts and toggle SpotMe off. The feature is disabled right away and Chime will immediately pull whatever you still owe from your account, so make sure there’s money to cover it. You can switch it back on later as long as you still meet the $200-a-month direct-deposit requirement.

What do users say?
- Auto-reactivation: a few people say they shut SpotMe off, but Chime turned it back on and let payments go through anyway, draining their balance.
- No blocking: some can’t find a way to stop specific merchants—“two of the ones who come in and take my money”—so SpotMe keeps covering those charges.
- Surprise shut-off: others warn SpotMe can disappear without notice if a direct-deposit is late, leaving them short on cash they thought was covered.
- Support hurdles: reviewers describe long waits or hard-to-understand replies when asking how to halt SpotMe pulls or get the money back.
