Cancellation Esquire: Easy Method
What is Esquire
Esquire is a lifestyle and culture magazine covering topics such as fashion, politics, entertainment, and men's lifestyle. In Canada, access is available through digital vendors (Pocketmags, Express Mag), mobile app stores, or direct (web) subscriptions and memberships that can include digital issues or combined print/digital delivery.
How to cancel Esquire
- App Store (iOS): Open Settings on your iPhone/iPad → tap your name → Subscriptions → locate "Esquire" → turn off Auto‑Renew at least 24 hours before the end of the current billing period. Note: you cannot cancel to get a refund for an already active period; disabling auto‑renew stops future renewals.
- Google Play (Android): Open Google Play → Payments & subscriptions → Subscriptions → select "Esquire" → tap "Cancel subscription." This stops future charges but does not automatically refund prior payments.
- Web / Direct (All‑Access or Premium via Esquire Shop): Sign in to your Esquire account or the vendor portal and use the self‑service cancellation option, or contact Esquire customer service by email or phone to request cancellation. Cancellation will prevent future renewals but normally applies only to subsequent terms.
- Postal mail (formal notice): Send a written cancellation letter by tracked registered mail (raccomandata A/R) to: Esquire, P.O. Box 6000, Harlan, IA 51593. Include subscriber name, account/order number, email used for the account, and a clear cancellation request. Keep the tracking receipt as proof.
- Documentation tip: after cancelling, keep confirmation screenshots, emails, or cancellation reference numbers from Apple, Google Play, or Esquire customer service.
What happens when you cancel
When you cancel, auto‑renewal is disabled so future billing stops at the end of the current paid period. You will typically retain full access to the magazine content until the end of that paid term; cancellation does not usually cut access short immediately. For iOS subscriptions you must turn off auto‑renew in your Apple account and an active period cannot be "cancelled" to end access early. Customer service cancellations for web/direct subscriptions usually take effect for subsequent billing cycles rather than retroactively.
Esquire or the vendor may retain account and purchase records for billing, support, or legal purposes; if you need data deleted, include a specific request when you contact customer service and follow any verification steps they require.
Will I get a refund?
Esquire's stated position is that payments are generally non‑refundable and you keep access until the end of the paid term. For web‑direct subscriptions refunds or credits are granted only at Esquire’s sole discretion; annual subscriptions may sometimes be eligible for a pro‑rated refund if handled by customer service, but this is not guaranteed. Mid‑term cancellations generally do not trigger refunds.
For App Store or Google Play purchases, refund policies are also subject to Apple’s and Google’s terms; those platforms may consider refund requests separately, but cancellation of auto‑renew does not itself create a refund. If you believe a charge was erroneous or you are entitled to a refund, contact the platform (Apple/Google) or Esquire customer service with proof of purchase and your request.

Your consumer rights in Canada
Under Canadian consumer protection principles for recurring digital subscriptions, providers must clearly disclose auto‑renewal terms and the process to cancel. However, there is no automatic 14‑day cooling‑off right for digital magazine subscriptions in Canada unless the provider explicitly offers one. Because Esquire’s terms state refunds are discretionary, consumers typically have limited statutory rights to refunds unless the company engaged in misleading or deceptive practices. If you suspect an agreement term was not properly disclosed, you can raise the matter with your provincial consumer protection office.
Customer experiences
Public reports and forum summaries indicate some subscribers find Esquire cancellation and refund processes confusing; common complaints include no refund for mid‑term cancellations and difficulty locating the correct cancellation path. There are few or no verified Canada‑specific reviews on major platforms for Esquire subscriptions. Separately, general review platforms such as Trustpilot have broader concerns about review credibility, which may affect perceptions of any reviews you encounter.
Documentation checklist
- Account holder name and email, order/subscription number or receipt, date of purchase
- Proof of payment (credit card statement or receipt) and screenshots of subscription settings
- Copy of cancellation confirmation (email or on‑screen confirmation) or tracking receipt for mailed cancellation
- Any correspondence with customer service, including dates and names
Common mistakes
Subscribers often assume cancelling immediately yields a refund or terminates access immediately; in most cases you keep access until the paid period ends and refunds are not automatic. Another frequent error is cancelling the wrong account - if you have multiple Apple IDs, Google accounts, or vendor logins, make sure you sign in to the account that was used to purchase the subscription. Waiting until the last minute to turn off auto‑renew (iOS requires disabling at least 24 hours before the period ends) can result in an unintended renewal. Failing to keep purchase receipts or confirmation messages makes disputes harder to resolve.
Comparative recap
| Method | Refund | Difficulty |
|---|---|---|
| App Store (iOS) | No - subscription continues to end of paid term; refunds handled by Apple at its discretion | Low - Medium (must disable auto‑renew in Apple account; Apple handles refunds) |
| Google Play (Android) | No - cancellation stops future charges; past charges not automatically refunded | Low (in‑app Google Play cancellation; refunds require Google review) |
| Web / Direct (Esquire Shop / All‑Access) | Discretionary - refunds not guaranteed; annual pro‑rated refunds possible in some cases | Medium (contact customer service or use portal; outcomes vary) |
| Postal Mail (formal cancellation) | Same as web/direct - discretionary and typically no automatic refund | Medium - High (provides formal proof but slower processing) |
After cancelling
Keep all confirmation emails, screenshots, or mailed‑letter tracking receipts until you have verified that billing has stopped. If charges continue after cancellation, contact Esquire customer service and the payment platform (Apple/Google) and, if needed, your bank or credit card company to dispute recurring charges. For platform help pages: Apple subscriptions - manage subscriptions on Apple; Google Play subscriptions - manage subscriptions on Google Play. If you believe you were misled about terms, contact your provincial consumer protection office for guidance.
