How to Cancel Good Housekeeping Magazine on iPhone (iOS)

If you subscribed to Good Housekeeping through the Apple App Store, you must cancel it there. Deleting the app won't stop the charges.

1 Open the Settings App

Find and tap the gray gear icon on your iPhone's home screen to open Settings.

2 Access Your Apple ID

Tap on your name and profile picture at the very top of the Settings menu. This takes you to your Apple ID, iCloud, and subscription settings.

3 Navigate to Subscriptions

On the Apple ID screen, tap on the Subscriptions option. You'll see a list of all your active and expired subscriptions linked to your Apple account.

4 Find and Cancel Good Housekeeping

Scroll through the list to find your Good Housekeeping subscription. Tap on it, then select Cancel Subscription. You'll need to confirm your choice. Your access will continue until the end of the current billing period.

How to Cancel Good Housekeeping Magazine on Android

This method works for subscriptions started through the Google Play Store. If you subscribed directly on their website, these steps won't work for you.

1 Open the Google Play Store

Launch the Google Play Store app on your Android device. It's the icon that looks like a colorful sideways triangle.

2 Go to Your Profile

Tap on your profile icon or initial in the top-right corner of the screen.

3 Select Payments & Subscriptions

From the menu that appears, tap on Payments & subscriptions. Then, select Subscriptions on the next screen.

4 Locate and Cancel the Subscription

Find the Good Housekeeping subscription in your list of active services. Tap on it, and then tap the Cancel subscription button. Follow the on-screen prompts to confirm.

How to Cancel Good Housekeeping Magazine on Desktop or Laptop

This is the most common way to cancel if you signed up directly through a mail offer or the Good Housekeeping website.

1 Visit the Hearst Customer Service Portal

Open your web browser and navigate to the Good Housekeeping customer service page. It's usually something like goodhousekeeping.com/service. This is where Hearst manages all its magazine subscriptions.

2 Log In to Your Account

You'll need to sign in. You can typically do this with your email and password or with your account number and zip code. Your account number is printed on your magazine's mailing label.

3 Find Your Subscription Management Options

Once logged in, look for a section called 'Manage My Subscription,' 'My Account,' or something similar. The layout can be a bit clunky, so you might have to look around.

4 Cancel Your Subscription

Within the management area, you should see an option to Cancel Subscription. Click it and follow the final confirmation steps. They might offer you a discount to stay, so be prepared to decline if you're sure you want to cancel.

Cancel Good Housekeeping by Phone

If you prefer to cancel over the phone, you can call Hearst Magazine's customer service.

Phone Number: 1-800-888-7788
Hours: Typically available during standard business hours, Monday to Friday.

When you call, make sure you have your account number handy (it's on the mailing label of your magazine) or the full name and address associated with the subscription. Be prepared for potential hold times and a sales pitch to convince you to keep your subscription.

Having Trouble Cancelling Your Good Housekeeping Magazine Subscription?

It can be frustrating when cancellation doesn't go smoothly. Here are a few things to try:

Check for Third-Party Billing: Did you subscribe through Amazon Newsstand, a different digital service, or as part of a bundle? If so, you must cancel through that third-party service, not directly with Good Housekeeping.
Use a Desktop Computer: Some subscription management websites just work better on a desktop browser than on a mobile phone. If the mobile site is giving you trouble, try again on a laptop.
Clear Your Browser Cache: Sometimes old data stored in your browser can cause issues. Try clearing your cache and cookies or using an incognito/private browsing window to log in and cancel.
Contact Support Directly: If all else fails, your best bet is to call their customer service number (1-800-888-7788). A representative should be able to process the cancellation for you manually.
