So, you're ready to cancel your Country Living subscription. Established in 1978, this magazine is all about that rustic, farmhouse charm. Maybe you subscribed to get on the 'cottagecore' trend and now you're just getting stacks of magazines you don't have time to read, which is totally understandable. With plans ranging from $15 to $25, you can save up to $25 a year by cancelling a subscription you don't use. This guide will help you cancel your subscription on their desktop site without any extra headaches.
How to Cancel Country Living on iPhone (iOS)
If you subscribed to Country Living through their iOS app, your subscription is managed directly by Apple. You can't cancel it through the Country Living website. It's a common frustration.
1 Open Your iPhone Settings
Find and tap the gray Settings icon on your home screen. It's the one with the gears.
2 Tap Your Apple ID
Your name and profile picture are at the very top of the Settings menu. Tap on it to access your Apple ID, iCloud, and other settings.
3 Select Subscriptions
On the Apple ID screen, tap on Subscriptions. You'll see a list of all your active and expired subscriptions tied to your Apple account. It can be a surprisingly long list.
4 Find and Cancel Country Living
Scroll through the list until you find the Country Living subscription. Tap on it, then tap the Cancel Subscription button. You'll need to confirm your choice. Your access will continue until the end of the current billing period.
How to Cancel Country Living on Android
For subscriptions made through the Google Play Store, you have to cancel it there. Trying to cancel on the Country Living website won't work and will just lead to a dead end.
1 Open the Google Play Store
Locate and open the Play Store app on your Android device. It's the primary hub for all your app-related subscriptions.
2 Access Your Profile
Tap on your profile icon in the top-right corner of the screen. This will open a menu with several options.
3 Go to Payments & Subscriptions
From the menu, select Payments & subscriptions. This is where Google keeps track of all your recurring charges.
4 Manage Your Subscriptions
Tap on Subscriptions to see a list of all your active services. Find Country Living in the list and tap on it.
5 Cancel the Subscription
At the bottom of the screen, you'll see an option to Cancel subscription. Tap it and follow the on-screen prompts to confirm. Google will ask for a reason, but you can skip it if you want.
How to Cancel Country Living on Desktop or Laptop
This method is for subscriptions purchased directly from the Country Living website or through a mail-in offer. Honestly, finding your account number on the magazine label is the biggest hurdle.
1 Visit the Customer Service Website
Open your web browser and navigate to the official Country Living customer service page. This is usually something like countryliving.com/service. This is the main hub for subscriptions managed by Hearst.
2 Log In to Your Account
You'll need to log in to manage your subscription. The easiest way is with your account number (found on your magazine's mailing label) and your zip code. You can also try logging in with your email address and zip code, but the account number is more reliable.
3 Navigate to Subscription Management
Once logged in, look for a section called Manage Your Subscription, My Account, or something similar. The layout can be a bit clunky, so you might have to click around a bit.
4 Find the Cancellation Option
Inside your account dashboard, there should be an option to Cancel Subscription or turn off Automatic Renewal. They often hide this option, so look carefully. Click it and follow the final confirmation steps. Make sure you get to a screen that says your subscription has been cancelled.
Cancel Country Living by Phone
If navigating the website is too much of a hassle, you can call their customer service directly.
- Phone Number: 1-800-888-1616
- Hours: Typically available during standard business hours, Monday through Friday.
Before you call, make sure you have your account number from your magazine's mailing label or the full name and address associated with the subscription. Be prepared for them to try to offer you a discount to stay.
Having Trouble Cancelling Your Country Living Subscription?
It can be frustrating when cancellation doesn't go smoothly. Here are a few things to try:
- Check Third-Party Billing: Did you subscribe through Amazon, a newsstand app, or another service? If so, you must cancel through that specific service, not Country Living directly.
- Use a Desktop Computer: Some magazine websites are not optimized for mobile browsers. If you're having trouble on your phone, try logging in from a desktop or laptop. It often works better.
- Clear Your Browser Cache: Sometimes old data stored in your browser can cause login or page loading issues. Clear your cache and cookies or try using an incognito/private window.
- Just Call Them: If the website is giving you errors or you can't find the cancel button, calling customer service is often the fastest way to resolve the issue. It's annoying, but it gets the job done.
