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.

Substack lets you cancel directly (online (Manage subscription page)). A letter is the fallback that leaves a dated record when the direct route fails.
