How to Cancel ArtNews on Desktop or Laptop
1 Visit the ArtNews Website
Open your web browser and go to the official ArtNews.com website. This method only works if you subscribed directly through their site, not through an app store.
2 Log In to Your Account
Click the Log In or My Account button, usually located in the top-right corner of the homepage. Enter your email and password to access your account dashboard.
3 Find Your Subscription Settings
Once logged in, look for a section named My Account, Profile, or Subscription. You might have to click around a bit, as it's not always obvious. Some users have reported it's under a 'Billing' tab.
4 Locate the Cancel Option
Inside your subscription settings, you should see details about your current plan. Look for a link or button that says Cancel Subscription or Manage Subscription. It might be in small print.
5 Confirm Your Cancellation
Click the cancel link and follow any final confirmation steps. They might ask you for a reason or offer you a discount to stay. Stick to your guns and confirm the cancellation. You should receive a confirmation email shortly after.
Cancel ArtNews by Phone or Email
If navigating the website is too much of a hassle, you can try contacting their customer service directly. It's not always faster, but it's an option.
- By Phone: Call ArtNews subscriber services at 1-800-925-8059. Their hours are typically standard business hours, Eastern Time. Have your account information or subscription number ready before you call.
- By Email: Send an email to [email protected]. Make sure to include your full name, the email address associated with your account, and your subscription number if you have it. State clearly that you wish to cancel your subscription. Response times can vary, so this isn't ideal if your renewal date is close.
Having Trouble Cancelling Your ArtNews Subscription?
It can be frustrating when a simple cancellation turns into a chore. If you're stuck, here are a few things to try:
- Check Third-Party Billing: Did you subscribe through Apple, Google, or another service? If so, you must cancel through that platform. ArtNews cannot cancel it for you.
- Use a Desktop Computer: Sometimes, the cancellation option doesn't show up properly on mobile browsers. Try logging into your account on a desktop or laptop computer.
- Clear Your Browser Cache: Old data stored in your browser can cause issues. Clear your cache and cookies or try using an incognito/private browsing window to log in and cancel.
- Contact Support Directly: When all else fails, reach out to their customer support. Use the phone number or email listed above and ask for a manual cancellation. Be persistent.
