Cancel and reissue rewards

You may need to cancel or reissue a reward soon after issuing it. We make the process for self-cancellation quick and easy. In fact, you can self-cancel or reissue an unredeemed Reward Link® only once within the five calendar days of sending it. The funds from a cancelled rewards are reissued back to the Tango account from which the reward was originally ordered.

Has the five-day window passed? Our general Tango Cancellation Policy outlines how to cancel rewards after the allowable timeframe has expired.
