Thinking about canceling your Baltimore Sun subscription? You're not alone. The Baltimore Sun has been a news institution since 1837, but sometimes you just need to cut back on expenses. Whether you signed up to follow local news, keep tabs on the Orioles, or just wanted to see what all the fuss was about after another rewatch of 'The Wire,' managing subscriptions is key. With plans ranging from $1 to $15.99, you can save up to $160 a year by canceling. This guide covers how to cancel on your desktop or over the phone.
How to Cancel Baltimore Sun Subscription on Desktop
Canceling online is usually the fastest way, but be prepared for a few retention offers. The whole process is designed to make you reconsider. Just stay focused. Weirdly, I've heard from some users that the cancel button doesn't always show up on the first try, so a page refresh might be necessary.
1 Log In to Your Account
First, head over to the Baltimore Sun's main website. You'll need to find the Log In button, usually at the top right of the page.
2 Navigate to Account Settings
Once you're logged in, look for your name or an icon that leads to your account. Click on it and find the My Account or Manage Account section. Sometimes this is hidden in a dropdown menu.
3 Find Your Subscription
This is where it can get tricky. You're looking for a link that says Manage Subscription or Subscription Details. I had to look around for a minute before I found it tucked under a billing tab.
4 Initiate the Cancellation
Now, search for the Cancel Subscription or Turn off auto-renew link. They might make you click through a few screens or answer a survey about why you're leaving. Just push through.
5 Confirm and Finish
Be ready for a last-ditch effort to keep you. They'll likely present a special offer. If you're set on leaving, just decline the offer and confirm your cancellation. Make sure you get to a final screen that says it's done.
Cancel Baltimore Sun Subscription with phone
You can call customer service at 1-888-539-1280. Their hours are typically Monday to Friday from 7:00 AM to 5:00 PM, Saturday and Sunday from 7:00 AM to noon (ET). Be prepared for hold times and have your account information ready. One user on Reddit said, 'I had to call twice. The first rep tried to offer me three different deals before processing the cancellation.' So, be polite but firm.
The Baltimore Sun's policy is pretty standard. You won't get a refund for any unused portion of your subscription. When you cancel, you'll still have access to their content until the end of your current billing period. Your account data isn't deleted, just your active subscription status.
