ELLE Decor has been the go-to source for luxury interior design and beautiful homes since 1989. Maybe you subscribed after seeing a celebrity home tour that had everyone on social media talking, but now the magazines are just piling up. It happens. With subscription costs ranging from $10 to $15, canceling can save you up to $15 a year. This guide covers how to cancel your subscription through their desktop and mobile web portal so you can avoid any surprise renewal charges.
How to Cancel ELLE Decor on iPhone (iOS)
If you subscribed to ELLE Decor through the App Store, this is the only way to cancel. Deleting the app won't do anything to stop the charges.
1 Open Your iPhone Settings
Find and tap the gray Settings icon on your home screen. It's the one with the gears.
2 Tap Your Apple ID
Your name and profile picture are at the very top of the Settings menu. Tap on it to access your Apple ID, iCloud, and other settings.
3 Go to Subscriptions
On the next screen, tap on Subscriptions. You'll see a list of all your active and expired subscriptions linked to your Apple account.
4 Find and Cancel ELLE Decor
Scroll through the list until you find the ELLE Decor subscription. Tap on it, then select Cancel Subscription. You'll have to confirm your choice, and that's it. Apple will stop the next payment.
How to Cancel ELLE Decor on Android
Just like with iPhones, if you signed up through the Google Play Store, you have to cancel it there. Simply uninstalling the app won't stop the billing cycle.
1 Open the Google Play Store
Launch the Google Play Store app on your Android device. It's the primary place for managing app-based subscriptions.
2 Access Your Profile
Tap on your profile icon or initial in the top-right corner of the screen.
3 Navigate to Payments & Subscriptions
From the menu that appears, select Payments & subscriptions. Then, on the next screen, tap Subscriptions.
4 Locate and Cancel ELLE Decor
You'll see a list of all your subscriptions managed by Google Play. Find ELLE Decor, tap on it, and then choose Cancel subscription. Follow the on-screen prompts to confirm.
How to Cancel ELLE Decor on Desktop or Laptop
This method is for subscriptions started directly on the ELLE Decor or Hearst website, not through an app store.
1 Go to the Hearst Customer Service Page
Open your web browser and navigate to the official ELLE Decor customer service website, which is managed by Hearst. You can usually find this by searching for 'ELLE Decor customer service'.
2 Log In to Your Account
You'll need to log in using your email address and password. If you don't remember your password, use the 'Forgot Password' link to reset it. Sometimes, you can also log in with your account number from the magazine's mailing label.
3 Find Your Subscription Management Area
Once logged in, look for a section called Manage Subscription, My Account, or something similar. Honestly, finding this page took a minute longer than it should have.
4 Cancel Your Subscription
Within the management area, you should see an option to Cancel Subscription. Click this and follow any final confirmation steps. They might offer you a discount to stay, so be prepared to click past that if you're sure you want to cancel.
Cancel ELLE Decor by Phone
If you prefer talking to a person, you can call Hearst's customer service line. It's a bit old-school, but it works.
- Phone Number: 1-800-888-7788
- Hours: Typically available during standard business hours, Monday to Friday.
When you call, have your account information ready, like your subscription number or the address associated with the subscription. Be clear that you want to cancel and ask for a confirmation number or email.
Having Trouble Cancelling Your ELLE Decor Subscription?
It can be frustrating when cancellation doesn't go smoothly. Here are a few things to try:
- Check Where You Subscribed: You can only cancel through the platform you used to sign up. If you subscribed via the App Store, you can't cancel on the Hearst website, and vice versa.
- Use a Desktop Computer: Some websites have limited functionality on mobile. Try logging into your account on a desktop or laptop, as the full site might have the cancellation options you're missing.
- Clear Your Browser Cache: Old data can sometimes cause website glitches. Clear your browser's cache and cookies or try using an incognito window to log in and cancel.
- Contact Support Directly: If all else fails, call customer service at 1-800-888-7788. They can process the cancellation for you manually.
