How to cancel The Wall Street Journal

NYT

“The trial isn't the trap - the cancellation is. Basic Digital gives you the newsroom and the audio app on a free trial (often around two weeks, though NYT keeps testing it), then intro pricing before it settles near $17/mo. Cooking, Games, Wirecutter, and The Athletic aren't here - those live in the pricier All Access bundle. Subscribe if you'll read it daily, and plan on a few minutes with a retention agent to get out.”

The Washington Post

“Strong national reporting at an intro rate that's hard to argue with, and cancellation is easier than it used to be - you can now do it online, though the Post will try to keep you with a discounted counter-offer (often around $3/month for another year). If you like the paper, that retention deal is worth accepting; if not, the online cancel works. Either way, note the date the intro rate ends so the jump to full price doesn't surprise you.”

Magzter GOLD

“For the price of a couple of print issues, GOLD hands you a whole newsstand - 10,000+ magazines and newspapers, over 100,000 back issues, National Geographic to The Economist to Vogue, readable offline across your phone, tablet, and the web. If you read broadly, the value is real. The honest thing to plan around isn't the reading, it's the renewal: the 7-day free trial takes a card up front and rolls into a paid plan automatically, auto-renew stays on by default afterward, and the most common complaint we found is people who meant to cancel and got charged first. Where you subscribed also decides how you leave - a trial you start inside the iPhone or Android app is cancelled in Apple's or Google's settings, not on Magzter's site. None of that is a reason to skip it; it's a reason to set a reminder for day six. Do that, and it's an easy one to try.”
