So, you're ready to cancel your America's Test Kitchen subscription. Maybe you mastered that one perfect sourdough recipe, or maybe you're just tired of seeing the charge on your credit card. Founded in 1993, America's Test Kitchen is famous for its foolproof recipes and unbiased equipment reviews. But with subscriptions ranging from $5 to $7.99, the cost adds up, and canceling can save you up to $60 a year. This guide covers how to cancel on desktop, iOS, and Android. Honestly, after all the hype around air fryers recently, I signed up just to see their reviews and now I'm done. Let's get this cancelled.
How to Cancel America's Test Kitchen Subscription on Desktop
This is the most common way to cancel. You have to do it through their website, even if you use the app for recipes. Weirdly, I've heard from some people that the cancel button didn't show up on mobile browsers, so using a desktop computer is your best bet.
1 Log Into Your Account
First, head over to the America's Test Kitchen website and log into your account. The login button is usually at the top right. Sometimes the page can be slow to load, so give it a second.
2 Navigate to 'My Account'
Once you're in, find your name or the account icon. Click on it and look for a dropdown menu. You'll want to select My Account from the list.
3 Find 'Subscription & Billing'
This is where it gets a little tricky. You're looking for a section called Subscription & Billing. It might be under a general 'Account Settings' tab. They don't always make it obvious.
4 Click 'Cancel Subscription'
Inside the billing section, you should see your active subscription details. Look for a link or button that says Cancel Subscription or 'Turn Off Auto-Renew'. Click it. You might have to confirm your choice on another screen. Don't close the window until you see a confirmation message.
How to Cancel America's Test Kitchen Subscription on iOS
Canceling on an iPhone is managed by Apple, not America's Test Kitchen directly. This is actually easier, since Apple's process is the same for every app.
1 Open Settings
If you subscribed through the ATK app on your iPhone or iPad, you can't cancel on their website. You have to go through Apple. Open the Settings app on your device.
2 Tap Your Apple ID
Tap on your name and Apple ID at the very top of the Settings screen.
3 Select 'Subscriptions'
Find and tap on the Subscriptions menu item. You'll see a list of all your active and expired app subscriptions.
4 Find ATK and Cancel
Scroll through the list to find your America's Test Kitchen subscription. Tap on it, then hit the Cancel Subscription button. It's that simple. Apple will handle the rest.
How to Cancel America's Test Kitchen Subscription on Android
Just like with Apple, if you subscribed through the Google Play Store, you have to cancel it there. ATK's customer service can't do it for you.
1 Open the Google Play Store
For Android users who signed up in-app, your subscription is tied to your Google account. Open the Google Play Store app.
2 Tap Your Profile Icon
Tap on your profile icon, which is usually in the top-right corner of the screen.
3 Go to 'Payments & subscriptions'
From the menu that pops up, select Payments & subscriptions. It's pretty straightforward.
4 Find ATK and Cancel
Next, tap on Subscriptions. Find the America's Test Kitchen subscription in the list, tap it, and then select Cancel subscription. Follow any final prompts to confirm.
Cancel America's Test Kitchen Subscription with phone
You can call them at (800) 526-8442. Their customer service is typically available Monday to Friday, from 9 AM to 5 PM Eastern Time. Be prepared for a bit of a wait. One user on a forum said, 'I had to call twice. The first rep tried to offer me a discount instead of just canceling.' So, be firm and just say you want to cancel.
Cancel America's Test Kitchen Subscription with email
You can email their support team at support@americastestkitchen.com. Don't expect an instant reply. It usually takes them 1-2 business days to get back to you. Make sure to include your full name and the email address associated with your account to speed things up.
Before you cancel, know this. You almost certainly won't get a refund for the current billing period, even if you cancel a day after it renews. It's annoying, but that's their policy. Your account won't be deleted, you'll just lose access to the paid content at the end of your term. So, make sure to save any must-have recipes before that happens. There isn't a 'pause' option either, you either have a subscription or you don't.
