How to cancel The New Yorker

Do it yourself

Cancel The New Yorker yourself

TLDR: Cancel under My Account, or in Apple or Google if you subscribed in the app. You keep access through the current term, and a cancellation is not refunded.

Cancel on the website

You subscribed on The New Yorker's site, including a gift subscription. Not through the app.

  1. 01Sign in at newyorker.com.
  2. 02Open My Account.
  3. 03Select Manage Subscription.
  4. 04Cancel, and finish the screen.

The magazine does not email a cancellation receipt on its own. Its FAQ says to ask in the chat at the bottom right if you want one sent.

Cancel a subscription bought in the app

You subscribed in The New Yorker app. Apple or Google bills you, and the magazine cannot stop it.

  1. 01iPhone or iPad: cancel The New Yorker in your Apple subscriptions. Do it at least 24 hours before a free trial ends.
  2. 02Android: cancel it in Google Play before the trial ends.
  3. 03For help, email apps@newyorker.com or call 855-680-3077. Outside the US, call 332-239-6553.

A paid app plan keeps access until the next billing date. Cancelling a free trial can cut off the app immediately. Apple or Google sends the purchase email, not The New Yorker.

How to know it worked

  • Manage Account shows the expiration date. Check it.
  • There is no automatic cancellation email from the magazine. Use the chat if you want one in writing.
  • Cancelled in the app? Confirm in Apple or Google that it will not renew. The magazine cannot see those payments.

Watch out for

  • You may still get one or two issues after you cancel. That does not mean the subscription renewed.
  • Suspending is not cancelling. You can pause for up to a year under Manage Subscription, then Suspend Subscription, and it can resume.
  • A Family Plan is cancelled by the person who pays, from My Account. When they cancel, the other readers lose access at the end of the billing period.
  • Reading on the website needs the subscription linked to your newyorker.com account. Cancelling one login does not cancel a subscription that was never linked.
  • Switching from print-and-digital to digital-only is a chat request, not the cancel button.
  • The New Yorker does not refund a cancellation.

The New Yorker refunds

  • The New Yorker does not offer refunds when you cancel.
  • The subscription stays active through the end of the current billing term, and you are not charged again.
  • The cancellation itself is processed immediately.
  • Bought in the app? Apple's rules apply. The magazine says it cannot manage those payments.

If it did not work

No confirmation email? Then it didn't happen.

Our letter comes with a receipt. This is when it is worth having us do it.

Have us cancel The New Yorker

  • You cannot log in, or do not remember the email

    The notice goes to The New Yorker in your name and address. No login, no password.

  • You only suspended it, or the chat never sent a receipt

    The notice asks for a cancellation, not a pause, and for written confirmation.

  • You were charged after cancelling

    The dated notice and proof of delivery are what your bank asks for when you dispute the charge.

  • Apple or Google still bills the app

    The notice goes to The New Yorker. An app subscription also has to be cancelled in Apple or Google, because the magazine cannot stop it.

  • You would rather not chase support

    We post and email the notice, then follow up with The New Yorker until they confirm. If they never do, you get your money back.

What happens next

Two minutes from you. We do the rest.

Cancelling The New Yorker

What people ask about The New Yorker.

When does a New Yorker cancellation take effect?

The New Yorker says it is processed immediately. You keep access through the end of the current billing term, and you are not charged again. One or two more issues can still arrive.

Can I get a refund from The New Yorker?

No. The magazine says it does not offer refunds for cancellations. You keep the rest of the term you already paid for.

How do I cancel The New Yorker?

Sign in, open My Account, and select Manage Subscription. A gift subscription is cancelled the same way. A subscription bought in the app is cancelled in Apple or Google.

Can I pause The New Yorker instead of cancelling?

Yes, for up to a year. Under Manage Subscription, choose Suspend Subscription. That holds it and lets it resume. It is not the same as cancelling.

I cancelled The New Yorker but I am still being charged. What now?

Check whether an app subscription is still live with Apple or Google, or whether you suspended instead of cancelled. For a formal record, we send The New Yorker a dated notice with proof of delivery.

Can you cancel The New Yorker without me logging in?

Yes. The notice goes to The New Yorker in writing, so it does not depend on you reaching a cancel button inside your account. A lost password or a locked account does not stop it.

Does the letter ask them to delete my data?

Yes. It asks the company to erase the personal data it holds on you where it has no lawful reason to keep it, and to confirm in writing once it has.
