How to cancel National Geographic by mail

  1. Find your account details

    National Geographic will look your account up from what the letter says, so check the email on the account, the delivery address for print copies and the subscription or reference number from your latest invoice first.

  2. Write the cancellation request

    State plainly that you want the National Geographic account cancelled, further charges stopped and a written confirmation sent to you. Postbye sets this out in a ready English template (“Subject: Subscription termination – National Geographic”).

  3. Mail it with tracking

    Take the letter to the post office and ask for certified delivery to 20036 Washington. Keep the tracking number it gives you.

  4. Save the tracking record

    File the receipt with the letter. A National Geographic charge dated after delivery is the one to dispute, and these two documents are what you quote.

With Postbye, steps 2 to 4 take about two minutes of your time.

Cancelling a news or magazine subscription

Publishers often move you from an introductory price to the standard rate and can steer cancellations towards phone or chat, so a written request is the record that you asked.

If a charge shows up after you cancelled, the letter and its receipt are what you put in front of the company or your bank.

National Geographic lets you cancel directly (phone, email, or online (ngmservice.com)). A letter is the fallback that leaves a dated record when the direct route fails.
