Short Tutorial/FAQ – Get Rid of Subscriptions You No Longer Need

It's easy to sign up for monthly subscriptions and then forget you even have them. It's also a common way to waste money. Fortunately, you can identify and cancel your unwanted subscriptions easily.

Here's what to do:

• On iPhone: Go to Settings > tap your name > Subscriptions. You'll see every active Apple-billed subscription. Tap to cancel what you're not using.
• On Android: Open the Google Play Store > tap your profile pic > Payments & Subscriptions > Subscriptions. Cancel with a couple taps.
• On Amazon: Head to Accounts & Lists > Memberships & Subscriptions. This shows every Subscribe & Save, channel, Kindle Unlimited, and more.

When you hit "cancel" on a subscription, it's common for services to offer you a "don't go!" free extension or discount for a limited amount of time. If you decide to take them up on it, set a calendar alert for two or three days before the end date of the promotion to remind you to take action. The same goes for any free trial subscriptions you may sign up for. Alerts will help you juggle multiple trials at a time.
