Refund policy
The Economist refunds, access, and charge follow-up
The public subscription FAQ explains how to manage or cancel but does not promise an automatic refund. The signed-in offer, billing owner, location, and applicable law control.
Check my refund options- Cancellation and refund are separate
- Turning off renewal is not, by itself, a promise that the current charge will be returned.
- Offer terms matter
- Free-trial and introductory offers state their own conversion and cancellation timing at checkout.
- Use official service channels for a charge review
- Contact the service centre from the current Economist support page with the account and transaction details.
If Manage subscription does not expose a usable cancellation option, use The Economist’s official live chat or service-centre route. Open The Economist cancellation help
Cancellation methods
Use My Account first, then official support if needed
The public FAQ gives an online self-service route and support alternatives.
My Account
Sign in and select Manage subscription to change or cancel the current individual subscription.
Live chat or phone
The Economist says individual subscribers can alternatively use its service centre by phone or live chat. Use the current contact page rather than copied third-party numbers.
Organizational subscriptions
The Economist Pro and organization access have separate support and should not be treated as an ordinary individual subscription.
Before leaving
Verify exactly which Economist product changed
Print, digital, Espresso, and organizational products can have different account records.
Check the plan name
Use the subscription shown in My Account rather than relying on a generic bank descriptor.
Review renewal state
Confirm the plan no longer shows an upcoming auto-renewal and retain any confirmation provided.
Check store subscriptions if absent
If the subscription is not listed in My Account, review the purchase receipt and app-store subscriptions before assuming the account is missing.
