  1. Confirm the billing owner before canceling

    • To cancel The Boston Globe, use My Account or contact Boston Globe Customer Service if you subscribed directly, or cancel through Apple or another app store if you paid through that platform.customerservice.bostonglobe.com Digital-only subscriptions can be cancelled online, by phone, email, or chat, while home-delivery print subscriptions must be cancelled by phone; in all cases, cancellation stops future charges at the end of the current billing period rather than issuing partial refunds.customerservice.bostonglobe.com If you bought a Boston Globe subscription directly from bostonglobe.com, by phone, or by mail, the Globe is your billing owner and must process cancellations, renewals, and billing changes through Customer Service or the My Account page.customerservice.bostonglobe.com Digital-only eGlobe subscribers can cancel any time via My Account, phone, email, or chat, while home-delivery subscribers are required to cancel by phone even if they also have digital access.customerservice.bostonglobe.com If you purchased Globe access through Apple’s App Store, Google Play, Amazon, or another third party, that platform—not the Globe—controls billing and refunds, and Boston Globe’s Terms of Purchase direct you to cancel and resolve billing issues with the third-party provider instead.bostonglobe.com
    • Use the billing owner shown on your The Boston Globe receipt or account before following a cancellation path. Keep the final status, confirmation email, and effective date for any later billing dispute.
    • Boston Globe treats subscription cancellations as stopping future charges at the end of the current billing period, with limited circumstances where the company may issue discretionary refunds or credits.

  2. Keep enough proof for a focused follow-up

    • Save the confirmation, effective date, and billing receipt.
    • Capture the plan, renewal date, and company shown on the receipt.
    • Challenge only a specific unresolved charge or cancellation result.

The Boston Globe support channels

Know which channel fits before you spend time repeating the same story.

  • BostonGlobe.com My Account (digital subscriptions)

    Use this route to cancel a Boston Globe digital-only subscription billed directly by the Globe. Home-delivery print subscribers must still cancel delivery by phone, even if they manage their account online.

  • Boston Globe Customer Service (print and digital)

    Use this route to cancel any Boston Globe subscription by phone. It is required for home‑delivery print subscriptions and also available for digital‑only plans billed directly by the Globe.

  • Apple App Store on iPhone or iPad

    Use this route if your Boston Globe subscription is billed through Apple (for example, you subscribed to Globe digital content in an iOS app). If you pay the Globe directly, use My Account or phone instead.

The Boston Globe FAQs

Short answers for the questions people usually ask before starting.

You can cancel a Boston Globe digital subscription online through My Account. Sign in to bostonglobe.com, open Manage My Account, select your digital subscription, and use the available cancellation option. Cancellations take effect at the end of your current billing period, and you will not receive a refund for the unused portion of that period.customerservice.bostonglobe.com
To stop Boston Globe home delivery, you must call Customer Service; the home‑delivery policy specifies that cancellations are accepted by phone only. When you call, ask the representative to cancel your home‑delivery subscription and confirm the last delivery date, which will normally align with the end of your current billing period.customerservice.bostonglobe.com
Yes, Boston Globe’s Terms of Purchase and digital help center state that eligible subscriptions can be cancelled via the applicable My Account page. After signing in and opening Manage My Account, you can select your Boston Globe digital subscription and use the cancellation option to stop future renewals at the end of your current billing period.customerservice.bostonglobe.com
If your Boston Globe subscription is billed through Apple, you must cancel it in your Apple ID Subscriptions. On your iPhone, open Settings, tap your name, tap Subscriptions, select The Boston Globe subscription, and tap Cancel Subscription. Apple will keep your access until the end of the current term and then stop future renewal charges.support.apple.com
When you cancel a Boston Globe digital subscription, you retain full digital access and subscriber benefits until the end of the current billing period, after which access ends. You can still visit bostonglobe.com as a non‑subscriber, but article access will be limited compared with an active digital subscription. No automatic refund is issued for the unused portion of the period.customerservice.bostonglobe.com
Cancelling a Boston Globe subscription generally does not produce a refund. The Terms of Purchase explain that when you cancel, the change is effective at the end of your current billing period and payments are non‑refundable, with no credits for partially used periods. The Globe may choose to grant a refund or credit at its sole discretion but is not obligated to do so.bostonglobe.com
Yes, you can request a vacation stop to pause home delivery without cancelling your subscription. The Globe’s vacation‑stop policy lets you suspend delivery online through My Account or via the automated phone system, and explains how shorter and longer stops affect credits and digital access. This is useful if you are travelling but intend to resume delivery later.customerservice.bostonglobe.com
You can confirm cancellation by checking My Account and your billing statements. After processing, your subscription should show an end date with no upcoming renewals, and you should no longer see new Boston Globe subscription charges after the current billing period. The Globe also delivers electronic communications, such as confirmations and account notices, through My Account and/or email.bostonglobe.com
If you subscribed to Boston Globe content through Google Play, you must cancel it from your Google account. Google Play Help instructs you to open the Google Play app, go to Subscriptions, select the subscription, and tap Cancel subscription. Billing and any refunds then follow Google Play’s policies rather than Boston Globe’s own Terms of Purchase.support.google.com
