Cancellation Cosmopolitan: Easy Method
What is Cosmopolitan
Cosmopolitan is a lifestyle and fashion magazine offering articles on fashion, beauty, relationships, and culture across print and digital formats. In Canada, access to Cosmopolitan content can be obtained via platform subscriptions (App Store, Google Play), direct All‑Access or site memberships, and third‑party retailers such as Pocketmags.
How to cancel Cosmopolitan
- App Store (iOS): Open your Apple ID / Subscriptions in the iOS Settings or in the App Store app and turn off Auto‑Renew at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. You cannot cancel to receive a prorated refund for the current active period. For the app listing see Cosmopolitan on the App Store.
- Google Play (Android): Open the Google Play Store app, go to Menu → Subscriptions, find Cosmopolitan and choose Cancel subscription. Do not cancel by uninstalling the app. Cancellations remain active until the end of the paid period. See Google support: Manage Google Play subscriptions.
- Web / All‑Access & Print subscriptions: Cancel via Cosmopolitan’s Customer Service portals - use the online self‑service portal or contact customer service for digital at 888‑797‑9927 or membersupport@cosmopolitan.com, and for print‑only at 800‑888‑2676 or coscustserv@cdsfulfillment.com. See Cosmopolitan Customer Service.
- By mail (recommended where you want proof of delivery): Send a signed cancellation notice by certified mail (use tracked/certified delivery such as raccomandata A/R) to the U.S. address: Cosmopolitan, P.O. Box 6000, Harlan, IA 51593, USA. Keep copies and tracking/receipt for your records.
What happens when you cancel
When you cancel a Cosmopolitan subscription, auto‑renewal is stopped so you will not be charged again after the current paid period ends. For platform subscriptions (App Store, Google Play), cancelled subscriptions typically remain active until the end of the billing period you already paid for. Your digital access to content continues until that expiry date. Cosmopolitan may retain account and billing records per its policies; cancellation does not necessarily delete your account or personal data unless you request account closure per their policies.
Will I get a refund?
Cosmopolitan’s stated policy for All‑Access Memberships is that payments are non‑refundable and access continues until the end of the paid term. Platform purchases are typically controlled by Apple or Google; refunds are therefore handled under their respective refund policies. In general, cancelling a subscription stops future billing but does not produce a prorated refund for the active period unless a refund is specifically granted by the platform or Cosmopolitan in exceptional cases.

Your consumer rights in Canada
Canadian consumer protection generally provides specific cancellation or refund rights for certain goods and services, but digital content and magazine subscriptions are not always covered by a statutory 14‑day cooling‑off period. There is no clear public reference that Cosmopolitan must offer a 14‑day automatic refund for digital subscriptions in Canada. Cosmopolitan’s published terms state that digital subscription payments are non‑refundable and access continues until the end of the paid term. If you believe a charge is unfair or you have a dispute, you can raise it with your payment provider, with Apple/Google (if purchased through their stores), or seek guidance from provincial consumer protection authorities.
Customer experiences
Reviews are mixed. Some users praise Cosmopolitan for entertaining, fashion and beauty content (for example Influenster shows a 4.4/5 rating from a limited sample). Other reviewers raise concerns about billing errors and customer service responsiveness: Cosmopolitan’s parent site has low ratings on some review sites (for example Trustpilot and Sitejabber) with complaints about accessing digital content and difficulties obtaining refunds or timely support. These experiences suggest being careful to keep receipts and records when you subscribe or cancel.
Documentation checklist
- Subscription confirmation (order number / receipt), date and amount charged, account email
- Platform used (App Store, Google Play, Cosmopolitan site, Pocketmags), device details if applicable
- Screenshots of subscription page, billing history, and any error messages
- Copies of email communication with customer service and any response timestamps
- Proof of mailed cancellation (certified mail receipt / tracking number) if cancelling by postal letter
Common mistakes
Many subscribers try to cancel by deleting the app; that does not cancel the subscription and billing may continue. Waiting until the day of renewal can cause missed deadlines - Apple requires auto‑renew to be turned off at least 24 hours before renewal. Contacting the wrong support channel (e.g., emailing the wrong address or contacting site customer service for an App Store purchase) can delay resolution. Expecting an automatic prorated refund after cancelling mid‑term is a frequent source of disappointment; Cosmopolitan’s terms and platform rules often mean no refund for the remaining period.
Comparative recap
| Method | Refund | Difficulty |
|---|---|---|
| App Store (iOS) | Generally no (managed by Apple; cancellations stop future billing but do not prorate current term) | Low |
| Google Play (Android) | Generally no (managed by Google; cancelled access continues until period end) | Low |
| Web / All‑Access or Print (Cosmopolitan customer service) | Typically no for All‑Access; exceptions handled case‑by‑case by support | Medium |
After cancelling
After you cancel, verify that future renewals are disabled in your account or app store subscription settings and monitor your bank or card statements for any unexpected charges. Keep copies of cancellation confirmations, receipts, and any correspondence. If charges continue after cancellation, contact your payment provider and the platform (Apple/Google) as appropriate; you can also contact Cosmopolitan customer service directly.
