Having dealt with The Guardian and others like them to cancel, I say "I will not explain why I wish to cancel nor will I reconsider my decision. Please cancel my account. My account number is x, my email is y and my address is z."
I usually have to repeat it 3-4 times before they finally give in and do it.
- criddell 5y agoIn the past when I've had to deal with a retention person and they ask why I'm leaving, I usually just say personal reasons. I've had pretty good luck with that.

Now, I guess they'll just pitch the online edition. Maybe I'll try, "I'm about to winter over in Antarctica and won't have the internet bandwidth for your paper. Do you guys deliver there?"
- smilespray 5y agoTough luck, they've got decent semi-decent bandwidth down there these days. Perhaps Mars?
- bluGill 5y agoThere are several different stations down there, by different countries. I wouldn't assume they all have good connection.
