Agreed. The only official way to cancel a NYT subscription is to call them. Infuriating.
- duxup 7y agoAt least as far as NYT Digital goes ... I can cancel my subscription online with the click of a button.
- john_minsk 7y agoAnd I had to call to Croatia to cancel mine. There are definitely dark patterns these guys using. Which was very surprising to see from true-journalism-northern-star
- duxup 7y agoStrange. I did JUST check mine and the option is there for me. Possibly they changed something between your adventure and mine.
- glerk 7y agoSame with the Economist. They must have crunched some numbers and determined this is more profitable. I usually “unsubscribe” from these kind of services by changing my credit card to an empty prepaid one and let the payment bounce.
- axxl 7y agoWith the Economist you can at least do it via email, or if you’re doing digital only you can use a subscription via Apple’s in app purchases etc and manage it that way.
- shusson 7y ago> I usually “unsubscribe” from these kind of services by changing my credit card to an empty prepaid one and let the payment bounce Yeah, luckily I subscribed through paypal, so I could block them through that.
- larntz 7y agoThat is ridiculous. I refuse to subscribe to anything that makes it difficult to unsubscribe. I learned my lesson from LA Fitness. Check the cancellation process before signing up for anything that requires a contract. I suppose that should be common sense, but I never thought about it until I had to mail a freaking letter to their HQ requesting cancellation.
