Should you contact LinkedIn first?

Use this LinkedIn check to choose between an official account action and help preparing a clearer follow-up.

  1. Confirm the billing owner before canceling

    • To cancel LinkedIn Premium, use LinkedIn’s Premium settings on the web when LinkedIn bills you directly, or Apple or Google Play subscription settings when those app stores bill you. Direct LinkedIn purchases are cancelled from the Premium features menu on linkedin.com, while App Store and Google Play purchases are cancelled from each store’s Subscriptions screen on your device. After cancellation, paid Premium plans usually stay active until the end of the current billing period, then your account reverts to a free Basic account and Premium charges stop. If your LinkedIn Premium subscription was bought on the LinkedIn website or mobile web (including iOS mobile web), LinkedIn is the billing owner and you must cancel through LinkedIn’s Premium settings on desktop or, for most direct purchases, via the LinkedIn mobile app on Android. If your receipt or card statement lists Apple or apple.com/bill, Apple is the billing owner and you must cancel and request any refunds through Apple’s subscription and refund tools rather than LinkedIn. If your subscription was purchased in the Google Play Store on Android, Google Play is the billing owner; you can cancel either from LinkedIn’s Premium settings or from Google Play’s Subscriptions screen, but refund decisions follow Google Play and LinkedIn refund policies.
    • Use the billing owner shown on your LinkedIn receipt or account before following a cancellation path. Keep the final status, confirmation email, and effective date for any later billing dispute.
    • Cancelling LinkedIn Premium mainly stops future renewals; refunds for existing charges are limited and depend on LinkedIn’s consumer refund policy and, for app‑store purchases, Apple or Google Play rules.
  2. Keep enough proof for a focused follow-up

    • Save the confirmation, effective date, and billing receipt.
    • Capture the plan, renewal date, and company shown on the receipt.
    • Challenge only a specific unresolved charge or cancellation result.

LinkedIn support channels

Know which channel fits before you spend time repeating the same story.

  • LinkedIn website (direct or Google Play–billed Premium)

    Use this route if you purchased LinkedIn Premium directly from LinkedIn or via Google Play and want to cancel through a web browser.

  • Apple iOS Settings (App Store–billed Premium)

    Use this route if your LinkedIn Premium subscription was purchased through the Apple App Store and your receipts show Apple or apple.com/bill as the merchant.

  • Google Play app (Google Play–billed Premium)

    Use this route if your LinkedIn Premium subscription was purchased on an Android device via the Google Play Store and Google Play bills you.

How Pine helps with LinkedIn

A practical workflow for moving from a messy support problem to a clear request.

  1. Step 01

    Sign in at linkedin.com

    Go to linkedin.com in a web browser and sign in to the LinkedIn account that currently has the Premium subscription.

  2. Step 02

    Open the Me menu

    On your LinkedIn homepage, click the "Me" icon at the top of the screen to open your account menu. Use the LinkedIn account named on your receipt, and continue only after the next status in this cancellation path is visible.

  3. Step 03

    Go to Premium features

    In the Me dropdown, select "Premium features" to open your My Premium page. Use the LinkedIn account named on your receipt, and continue only after the next status in this cancellation path is visible.

  4. Step 04

    Open Manage subscription

    On the left pane of the My Premium or Resources section, click "Manage subscription" (or "Subscription details" in some layouts) to open Admin Center for your Premium billing.

  5. Step 05

    Open your Premium purchases

    In Admin Center, click "Purchases" in the left pane to display your active LinkedIn Premium subscription. Use the LinkedIn account named on your receipt, and continue only after the next status in this cancellation path is visible.

LinkedIn FAQs

Short answers for the questions people usually ask before starting.

You cancel a LinkedIn Premium subscription by using LinkedIn’s Premium settings or your app store’s subscription page, depending on who bills you. If your purchase was made on linkedin.com or mobile web, cancel from the Premium features section on the LinkedIn desktop site or, for most direct purchases, the LinkedIn Android app. If Apple or Google Play appears on your receipt, cancel from their Subscriptions screens instead.
You often can’t cancel a LinkedIn subscription because you’re looking in the wrong place for how you originally paid. If you signed up through Apple or Google Play, LinkedIn’s own settings may not show a Cancel button and you must cancel in your Apple ID or Google Play Subscriptions. If you see no Premium area at all, you may be signed into the wrong LinkedIn account or already on a Basic plan.
To stop LinkedIn from charging your card, you must cancel every active LinkedIn Premium or related subscription tied to that payment method. Cancel direct LinkedIn subscriptions from the Premium features section on linkedin.com, Apple‑billed subscriptions in iOS Settings under Subscriptions, and Google Play‑billed subscriptions from Google Play’s Subscriptions screen. After cancellation, future renewals stop, though existing charges remain unless a refund is granted.
You may get a refund for a cancelled LinkedIn Premium subscription, but it is not automatic and depends on timing and usage. LinkedIn’s refund policy says Premium subscriptions may be refundable within seven days of the charge if there has been no Premium usage, subject to regional law. For Apple and many Google Play purchases, refund requests must go through Apple or Google’s own refund tools instead of LinkedIn support.
After you cancel Premium and your current billing period ends, your account becomes a Basic (free) LinkedIn account. LinkedIn confirms that your profile, connections, messages and other core data remain, but you lose Premium‑only benefits such as InMail credits, advanced search filters, extended Who’s viewed your profile details, job and company insights, and LinkedIn Learning access. You can re‑subscribe later if you need those features again.
To cancel a LinkedIn subscription on Google Play, manage it from Google’s Subscriptions screen. On Android, open Google Play Store, tap your profile icon, choose Payments & subscriptions, then Subscriptions, tap the LinkedIn or LinkedIn Premium subscription, and tap Cancel subscription. LinkedIn also notes that the same Google Play–billed subscription can be cancelled from LinkedIn’s Premium billing pages if you prefer.
You cancel a LinkedIn subscription on mobile by using the correct app for your billing source. For Apple‑billed subscriptions, open iOS Settings, tap your name, tap Subscriptions, choose LinkedIn, and tap Cancel Subscription. For Google Play–billed subscriptions, use the Google Play Store Subscriptions list. For many direct LinkedIn purchases, you can also cancel from the LinkedIn mobile app by opening Premium features and Manage your subscription.
To cancel a LinkedIn subscription on desktop, sign in to linkedin.com and use the Premium menu. Click the Me icon, select Premium features, click Manage subscription or Subscription details, open the Purchases section in Admin Center, then choose your active Premium subscription and click Cancel subscription. LinkedIn’s billing help confirms this as the standard flow for direct and many Google Play–billed Premium plans.
You request a refund from LinkedIn by using its dedicated consumer refund policy page rather than the normal cancellation screen. LinkedIn’s refund policy directs you to submit a refund request form, selecting the product and explaining why you believe a refund is due, such as unused Premium time within the seven‑day window. For Apple or some Google Play purchases, you must instead use those stores’ own refund request flows.
To cancel a LinkedIn subscription after a free trial has converted to paid service, first identify who bills the subscription. For a direct LinkedIn purchase, open Premium features on linkedin.com, choose Manage subscription or Subscription details, and cancel the active Premium plan. If Apple or Google Play billed the trial, cancel from that store's Subscriptions screen. LinkedIn says a paid cancellation normally stops the next renewal while Premium access continues through the current billing period.
Yes, LinkedIn states that cancelling a Premium free trial ends the trial and Premium access immediately. You revert to a Basic account as soon as you complete cancellation, and you are not charged the first subscription fee as long as you cancelled before the scheduled billing date. You also generally won’t be eligible for another Premium free trial for at least 12 months after cancelling.
