Country Living has been dishing out rustic home inspo since 1978, but maybe the cottagecore vibe isn't paying your bills anymore. With plans ranging from $12 to $50, cancelling can save you up to $50 annually. You can cancel via iOS, Android, or their desktop site at countryliving.com. Like the recent online chatter about "subscription fatigue" hitting streaming services, print media isn't safe either. Pissed Consumer notes over 200 complaints in the last 3 years, mostly about "incorrect billing amounts" and tricky auto-renewals. If you are tired of unexpected charges or just decluttering, here is how to cut the cord.

How to Cancel Country Living on iPhone (iOS)

If you subscribed through the Apple App Store or Apple News+, you must cancel through your iPhone settings. Deleting the app does nothing.

1 Open Settings

Tap the grey Settings gear icon on your home screen. It is usually on the first page.

2 Tap Your Name

Click your Apple ID name at the very top of the list. It should have your profile picture next to it.

3 Select Subscriptions

Tap on Subscriptions. If you do not see it, check under 'Media & Purchases' instead.

4 Find Country Living

Scroll through your active list until you see Country Living. Tap it.

5 Cancel Subscription

Hit the red Cancel Subscription button. If you only see 'Renew' options, it is already cancelled.

How to Cancel Country Living on Android

Android users who signed up via Google Play must handle cancellations here. It is usually straightforward, but sometimes the button is greyed out if the payment failed.

1 Open Google Play

Launch the Google Play Store app on your phone or tablet.

2 Tap Profile Icon

Click your profile picture in the top right corner of the screen.

3 Go to Payments & Subscriptions

Select Payments & subscriptions from the menu list.

4 Select Subscriptions

Tap Subscriptions to view your active recurring charges.

5 Cancel Country Living

Find Country Living in the list, tap it, and select Cancel subscription. Follow the confirmation prompts.

How to Cancel Country Living on Desktop

This is the method for anyone who subscribed directly through the magazine's website or a mail-in offer. The interface feels a bit dated, so be patient.

1 Visit the Service Portal

Go to the official Hearst magazine service site (service.countryliving.com). This is where they hide the account management tools.

2 Log In

Enter your account number or email address and zip code. You might need to check a magazine label for the account number if the email login fails.

3 Navigate to Preferences

Look for a tab or link labeled My Subscription or Preferences in the main dashboard.

4 Initiate Cancellation

Select Cancel Subscription or Stop Auto-Renewal. You may have to click through a few 'Are you sure?' screens trying to keep you.

Cancel Country Living by Phone or Email

If the online portals are glitching (which happens more than it should), you can contact Hearst directly.

Phone: Call 1-800-888-0128. Be prepared for hold times, especially on Mondays.
Email: Send a request to clvcustserv@cdsfulfillment.com. Include your full name and address.

Note: Email responses can take 48 hours. If your renewal is tomorrow, call them.

What is Country Living Cancellation Policy

Hearst (the publisher) generally allows you to cancel at any time. For print subscriptions, they typically refund the pro-rated amount for unmailed issues. However, digital-only subscriptions are often non-refundable for the current billing period. You just lose access at the end of the cycle. It is frustrating because the terms are buried in fine print. Many users on TrustPilot complain that 'auto-renewal' is turned on by default without clear notice.

Having Trouble Cancelling Your Country Living Subscription?

Stuck in a loop? Here are a few things to check:

Third-Party Billing: Did you subscribe via Amazon Newsstand or Apple News+? The direct website login won't work for those.
Browser Issues: The service portal is old. Try clearing your cache or using Incognito mode if the 'Cancel' button is missing.
Account Number: If your email isn't working, find a physical magazine. The account number is on the mailing label (highlighted in yellow usually).
Contact Support: If all else fails, call them. It is annoying, but it works.
