How to Cancel Your National Geographic Subscription (2025)

If the online buttons are broken (which happens a lot), you can call their support line.

• Phone Number: 1-800-647-5463
• Hours: Generally business hours EST.
• Tip: Be prepared for a wait time. Pissed Consumer reports indicate hold times can be frustratingly long.

You can try emailing their fulfillment center, though responses are slow.

• Email: [email protected]
• What to include: Your full name, account number (from the magazine label), and address.
• Warning: Do not rely on this if your renewal date is tomorrow. It takes days for them to process email requests.

National Geographic's policy is pretty standard for print media, which means it is slightly outdated. If you cancel a monthly digital subscription, access usually continues until the end of the billing cycle. For annual print subscriptions, they may offer a pro-rated refund for unmailed issues, but this varies by state and specific offer terms. Trustpilot reviews mention that getting a refund processed can take weeks. Basically, once they have your money, they like to keep it.

Check these details before you cut the cord:

• Disney+ Bundle: If you access Nat Geo through a Disney+ bundle, cancelling the magazine won't stop your Disney+ bill. You have to cancel Disney+ separately.
• Data Retention: They will keep your email on file for marketing. Expect 'Please come back' emails unless you unsubscribe from their newsletter too.
• Renewal Dates: Check your next billing date. If you cancel 24 hours before, you might still get charged due to processing times.

Stuck in a loop? You are not alone. Here are common fixes:

• Check Third Parties: Did you subscribe via Amazon Newsstand or iTunes? You must cancel there, not on the Nat Geo site.
• Browser Issues: Try using Chrome in Incognito mode. Sometimes their site cookies glitch out the 'Cancel' button.
• Old Account Numbers: If you have an old print subscription, the online portal might not recognize your account number. You will have to call them.
• Disney+ Confusion: Remember, the Nat Geo app and the Nat Geo tile inside Disney+ are different things.
