Cancelling Washington Post isn't always straightforward — it depends on how you're being billed. This guide walks through every method, whether you subscribed directly or through an app store.
Most Washington Post subscribers are billed directly and can cancel from their account settings. If you subscribed through Apple, Google Play, or a promotional offer, you'll need to cancel through the original provider instead.
Here's how to cancel Washington Post directly. If you're billed through a third party, see the alternative methods section.
Go to washingtonpost.com and click Sign In in the top right corner. Enter your email and password to access your account.
Click on your profile icon in the top right, then select My Account from the dropdown menu.
In your account dashboard, find and click on Manage Subscription or Billing Information section.
Look for Cancel Subscription or End Subscription button. Click it and follow the prompts, which may include a brief survey about your cancellation reason.
Complete the cancellation process and look for confirmation on screen. You should also receive a cancellation confirmation email within a few minutes.
A few things that might affect your Washington Post cancellation.
These details can affect your cancellation timing or whether it goes through properly.
Look at your credit card or bank statement. If it shows Apple, Google, or Amazon instead of Washington Post, you'll need to cancel through them.
Cancel before your next billing date to avoid being charged for another period. Your access continues until the current period ends.
Removing the Washington Post app from your phone doesn't cancel your subscription. You still need to cancel through your account or the app store.
If cost is the issue, you might be able to find a better deal instead of cancelling completely.
If you can't cancel through your Washington Post account, you may need to go through app stores or customer service. The right option depends on how you're being billed.
