Dwell has been a go-to for modern architecture and design inspiration since it was founded back in 2000. Maybe you signed up for some home renovation ideas or got hooked by the buzz around the Barbie movie's iconic dreamhouse design. But now the magazines are piling up, or you just aren't reading the articles. With subscription costs ranging from $24 to $40, canceling can save you up to $40 a year. This guide covers how to cancel your subscription on your desktop, iOS, or Android device.
How to Cancel Dwell Magazine Subscription on Desktop
This is the most common way to cancel if you signed up directly on their website. It can be a little tricky, as the cancel button isn't always obvious. Weirdly, I had to refresh the page once for the 'Manage Subscription' link to even appear.
1 Log In to Your Dwell Account
Go to the Dwell website and click the Log In button at the top right corner. Enter your credentials to access your account.
2 Navigate to My Account
Once logged in, find your name or an account icon. Click on it and select My Account from the dropdown menu. This is where they hide all the important stuff.
3 Find Your Subscription Settings
Inside your account dashboard, look for a section labeled My Subscription or Manage Subscription. I had to look around for a minute to find it. Click on that link.
4 Confirm Your Cancellation
You should see an option to Cancel Subscription or turn off auto-renewal. Click it and follow any final confirmation steps. They might ask you why you're leaving, but you can usually skip that.
How to Cancel Dwell Magazine Subscription on iOS
If you subscribed through the Dwell app on your iPhone, you have to cancel it through Apple, not the Dwell website. This confuses a lot of people.
1 Open Settings
Open the Settings app on your iPhone or iPad.
2 Tap Your Apple ID
Tap on your name and Apple ID at the very top of the screen.
3 Go to Subscriptions
Select the Subscriptions option from the list.
4 Find Dwell and Cancel
Find the Dwell subscription in your list of active subscriptions and tap on it. Then, tap Cancel Subscription and confirm. Easy.
How to Cancel Dwell Magazine Subscription on Android
Just like with iPhones, if you signed up through the app on an Android device, your subscription is managed by Google. You can't cancel it on the Dwell website.
1 Open the Google Play Store
Launch the Google Play Store app on your device.
2 Tap Your Profile Icon
Tap on your profile icon in the top-right corner.
3 Navigate to Subscriptions
From the menu, select Payments & subscriptions, and then tap on Subscriptions.
4 Find Dwell and Cancel
Locate your Dwell subscription from the list, tap on it, and then select Cancel subscription. Follow the on-screen instructions to finalize it.
Cancel Dwell Magazine Subscription with phone
You can call Dwell's customer service at (877) 939-3553. They are typically available during standard business hours, Monday to Friday. Be prepared for some hold music. One user on a forum mentioned, 'I had to call twice because the first rep couldn't find my account.' So have your account info ready.
Cancel Dwell Magazine Subscription with email
Send an email to [email protected]. Make sure to include your full name and the email address associated with your account to speed things up. Don't expect an instant reply, it usually takes them 1-2 business days to get back to you.
Heads up, Dwell doesn't offer prorated refunds. If you cancel, you're just stopping the next automatic renewal, so you'll keep your access until the period you paid for ends. Also, there's no option to pause your subscription. It's an all or nothing kind of deal.
