Rolling Stone has been the authority on music, politics, and pop culture since it was founded back in 1967. Maybe you signed up to read that one deep-dive on Sabrina Carpenter's rise to fame and just forgot to cancel. It happens. This guide will help you cancel your subscription, which can range from $49.99 to $60 a year. We'll cover cancelling on their desktop site and other methods, helping you save up to $60 annually and avoid those surprise renewal charges.
How to Cancel Rolling Stone Subscription on Desktop
The most direct way to cancel is through the Rolling Stone website on a computer. Trying to do this on a mobile browser can be a pain, as some buttons don't always show up correctly. Stick to your desktop for this one.
1 Log Into Your Account
Go to the Rolling Stone website and click the Log In button, usually at the top right of the page. Enter your email and password.
2 Navigate to Your Account
Once you're logged in, find your account section. This is often under an icon or your name. Click on My Account.
3 Find the Subscription Management Page
This is the part that can be tricky. Look for a link that says Manage My Subscription or something similar. It's not always obvious. I had to look around for a minute before I found it tucked away.
4 Select the Cancel Option
On the subscription page, you should see an option to Cancel Subscription or turn off auto-renewal. Click it. They might ask you why you're leaving. Just pick a reason and move on.
5 Confirm Your Cancellation
Follow any final prompts to confirm the cancellation. Make sure you get to a screen that says your subscription has been cancelled. Take a screenshot of this page just in case.
Cancel Rolling Stone Subscription with phone
You can call customer service at 1-800-283-1549. Their hours are typically Monday through Friday, 8 AM to 10 PM CT, and Saturday from 8 AM to 6 PM CT. Be prepared for a potential wait time. One user on a forum mentioned, 'I had to call twice. The first rep tried to offer me a discount instead of just cancelling.'
Cancel Rolling Stone Subscription with email
Send an email to [email protected]. Make sure to include your full name, mailing address, and account number if you have it. Email is an option, but don't expect a quick reply. It can take a few business days to get a response and have them process the cancellation.
Before you cancel, know this: Rolling Stone typically does not offer prorated refunds. If you cancel, your subscription will remain active until the end of your current billing period. You're just stopping the next charge. For print subscribers, you might be able to pause or suspend your subscription instead of cancelling it outright by contacting customer service.
