How to cancel Smartnews by mail
Start with your account details
Before writing, collect the email on the account, the delivery address for print copies and the subscription or reference number from your latest invoice. Smartnews can only act on a request it can match to an account.
Set out the request
Your Postbye letter to Smartnews asks for three things: the account closed, no further charges and a written confirmation, all under “Subject: Subscription termination – Smartnews”. It comes from our English template.
Send the letter by certified mail
Address the envelope to Smartnews, San Francisco, exactly as printed in the next section. Certified mail gives you a tracking number and a delivery record.
Keep the delivery receipt
Delivery confirmation is your evidence that Smartnews was asked. Watch the next statement or two for any further Smartnews charge.
With Postbye, steps 2 to 4 take about two minutes of your time.
Where your Smartnews cancellation letter goes
Smartnews lists 144 2nd St 2nd Floor, San Francisco, CA 94105 as its mailing address.
ZIP code 94105 is in California, so the letter stays inside the United States postal system.
The letter greets the reader with “To Whom It May Concern,”; your own details sit under the labels Name, Address and E-mail.

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.
A letter is the formal route: it states the request in writing, carries a date and, sent by certified mail, comes with proof of delivery.
