Cancel news & magazines subscriptions

News and magazine subscriptions are known for low introductory prices that step up after a few months, and many publishers prefer to take cancellations by phone or chat rather than in writing.

The guides below show how each publisher takes cancellations, what to check about print and digital plans, and where a written request gives you a record.

146 news & magazines companies are covered here, 23 checked by hand and 123 from our cancellation database. The guides start with The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Economist and Kindle Unlimited (Kindle+). Mailing addresses on file are in United States, Germany, New Zealand and United Kingdom and elsewhere.

Print and digital are often separate subscriptions: name both.
