Architectural Digest, founded way back in 1920, is the go-to for stunning interior design and celebrity home tours. You know, like that unforgettable tour of Dakota Johnson's green kitchen that basically took over the internet for a week. Subscriptions range from about $10 to $30, and this guide covers canceling on their website. Let's be real, sometimes you sign up for the inspiration and then forget about it. Canceling can save you up to $30 a year, so let's get it done and avoid that surprise renewal charge.
How to Cancel Architectural Digest Subscription on Desktop
This is the main way to cancel if you subscribed directly from their website. Honestly, they don't make the button easy to find. You have to do a little digging in your account settings, but it's the most reliable method.
1 Go to the AD Website
Navigate to the Architectural Digest website. You'll need to find the 'Customer Service' or 'Subscriber Services' link, which is almost always hidden in the tiny text in the footer of the page.
2 Log In to Your Account
You'll need the email and password you used when you first signed up. If you can't remember it, get ready for the password reset process. It's a classic, annoying delay.
3 Find Your Subscription Details
Once you're logged in, you have to hunt for a section called 'My Account', 'Manage My Subscription', or something similar. This is where they keep the controls you actually want to use.
4 Turn Off Automatic Renewal
Don't expect a big, friendly 'Cancel' button. What you're looking for is an option to 'Turn Off Automatic Renewal' or 'Cancel Renewal'. Click that. Weirdly, I had to click it twice for the page to update, so make sure it sticks.
5 Confirm the Cancellation
The system will probably ask you if you're really sure you want to leave. Yes, you are. Follow any final prompts to confirm. You must get an email confirming the cancellation. Do not delete it.
Cancel Architectural Digest Subscription with phone
You can call their customer service at 1-800-365-8032. Their hours are typically Monday to Friday, from 8 AM to 5 PM Central Time. Be prepared for a potential wait and have your account number or mailing address ready. Sometimes talking to a person is just faster, assuming you can get through without a long hold time.
Cancel Architectural Digest Subscription with email
There isn't a simple public email address. Your best option is to use the contact form on their customer service portal. It's not fast, as a response can take 2-3 business days, but it does create a written record of your request.
First, the bad news. Architectural Digest, like most magazines, won't give you a refund if you cancel mid-term. You've paid for the year, and you'll keep getting access until it runs out. Canceling just stops the next automatic payment. On the bright side, your account data isn't deleted, you just lose access after the subscription ends. They might offer to let you pause your subscription, which could be an option if you just need a temporary break.
