Cancel a membership, meal kit or news subscription

Memberships and meal kits renew on their own. Weekly boxes add up fast, so check the yearly cost below. You do the cancelling; we never log in or cancel for you.

Key facts

  • Online sellers that charge you again and again must give you a simple way to stop the charges. (ROSCA)
  • Stopping automatic payments is not the same as cancelling. Cancel with the company too, or you may still owe it. (CFPB)
  • California: if you signed up online, you must be able to cancel online, with a direct link or button or a ready-made cancel email. (Calif. BPC 17602)

How to cancel anything

  1. Find where you pay. Look at your card or bank statement. Apple, Google Play, Amazon and Roku charges are cancelled in those accounts.
  2. Cancel on the official page. Use the steps and the official link below. If someone offers a deal, you can still say “cancel”.
  3. Save proof. A screenshot or the confirmation email, with the date and a confirmation number.
  4. Check your next statement. Charged again? Ask the company for a refund, then dispute it with your card company or bank.

What cancelling saves

Cancelling saves you, each year

$623.48

About $51.96 a month

Example filled in: $11.99 a month. Change it to yours.

Show the math
  • A year: $11.99 × 52 payments a year (weekly) = $623.48
  • A month: $623.48 ÷ 12 = $51.96

Formula: price × payments a year (weekly 52, monthly 12, every 3 months 4, every 6 months 2, yearly 1). Prices go up over time, so check your latest bill.
