Cancellation Golf Magazine: Easy Method
What is Golf Magazine
Golf Magazine is a long‑running golf publication offering instruction, equipment reviews, course features and golf lifestyle content. It is available in both print and digital formats and is distributed to Canadian readers through a mix of direct publisher channels and third‑party partners such as Pocketmags and GOLF.com.
Availability, billing and account management depend on the purchase channel used (for example, the iOS/App Store pathway via Pocketmags, a GOLF.com membership, or print offers purchased through third‑party vendors).
How to cancel Golf Magazine
- iOS App / Pocketmags (digital subscriptions via App Store): Sign in to your Pocketmags account or use the Pocketmags app's "My Account" area to turn off auto‑renewal. Subscriptions auto‑renew unless you disable auto‑renew at least 24 hours before the end of the current period; you generally cannot cancel the current active period but you can switch off future renewals.
- GOLF.com platform (InsideGOLF Membership with Golf Magazine): Sign in to your GOLF.com account dashboard and use the "Cancel / Deactivate or Do Not Auto‑Renew" link. Cancel at least 3 days before the end of the current billing period to prevent automatic renewal.
- Print subscriptions purchased through third‑party seller sites (e.g., Subscribe‑Renew.com, GiveAGiftSubscription.com): Many of these options advertise "no automatic renewals," so no action may be required for the subscription to end after the paid term. If you did purchase a recurring plan, follow the vendor's account/cancellation instructions or contact the vendor's subscriber services.
What happens when you cancel
Cancelling typically prevents future auto‑renewal; it does not always terminate access immediately. For digital subscriptions managed through Pocketmags or GOLF.com you will normally retain access to paid issues until the end of your current billing period. Some sales channels do not permit cancellation of the active paid term but will stop automatic renewal for the next cycle.
For print subscriptions purchased through third parties that advertise "no automatic renewals," the subscription will generally stop at the end of the paid term without further action. The publisher or vendor may retain account and payment records per their privacy and record‑keeping policies.
Will I get a refund?
Refund availability varies by channel. GOLF.com states that payments are non‑refundable and refunds are not provided except where required by law; any refunds or discounts may be granted only at the vendor's discretion. For print subscriptions bought through third‑party vendors, refund policies differ by vendor and often allow cancellation only before the first issue is processed. Some promotional offers explicitly permit a full refund within a defined window (for example, certain offers allow cancellation and full refund within 30 days of the qualifying purchase).
If you believe Canadian consumer protection law gives you a right to a refund (for example under provincial unsolicited agreement or cancellation rules), you may be able to assert that right; document your purchase and communicate promptly with the vendor or your payment provider.
Golf Magazine plans and pricing
| Plan | Price | Period | Features |

| Print subscription (Canada) | Varies | Varies | Print delivery - Canada‑specific rates not found |
Your consumer rights in Canada
Canadian consumer protection laws vary by province. In some provinces (and under some federal rules) consumers have cooling‑off or cancellation rights for certain unsolicited agreements or doorstep/telemarketing sales; practical timeframes can range (examples noted by vendors and consumer guidance include 14 days in some jurisdictions or up to 30 days for unsolicited offers). Digital magazine subscriptions do not always qualify for the same cancellation periods as other goods or services, and vendors sometimes limit refunds in their terms while acknowledging that refunds will be provided where required by law.
If you believe you have been charged unfairly or without proper consent, keep records and contact the vendor first; if necessary, contact your provincial consumer protection office (or Quebec's Office de la protection du consommateur) and your payment provider to explore dispute or chargeback options.
Customer experiences
Customer reports are mixed. Some readers have noted reliable, regular delivery after subscribing, indicating the subscription service functioned as expected. Other users have reported receiving unwanted print issues after a subscription was opened unintentionally, and frustration about unclear auto‑renewal disclosures and the difficulty of cancelling or stopping charges.
These reports highlight the importance of checking the channel you used to purchase (App Store, GOLF.com, or a third‑party vendor), saving confirmation emails, and monitoring billing statements for unexpected renewals.
Documentation checklist
- Order confirmation email or receipt (include order number)
- Account username/email used for the subscription
- Dates of subscription start and last billed period
- Payment method and last four digits of the card or PayPal account
- Screenshots of terms, auto‑renewal disclosures, or promotional offer language
- Any cancellation confirmation or vendor correspondence
- Bank or card statements showing the charge(s)
- If mailing a cancellation, the registered mail receipt (proof of delivery)
Common mistakes
One common mistake is attempting to cancel through the wrong channel - for example, contacting the print vendor when the subscription is billed through Pocketmags or GOLF.com. Always confirm which company charged you and use that account portal to manage auto‑renewal.
Another frequent issue is missing the vendor's required cancellation window: Pocketmags requires disabling auto‑renew at least 24 hours before period end, while GOLF.com asks for cancellation at least 3 days before period end. Waiting until after the deadline can result in an unexpected renewal charge for the next period.
People also sometimes assume cancelling will trigger an immediate refund; many providers only stop future renewals and do not refund the current paid period except where their policy or applicable law requires it.
Comparative recap
| Method | Refund | Difficulty |
|---|---|---|
| iOS App / Pocketmags (digital) | Refunds not generally provided by vendor; auto‑renewal can be turned off; refunds depend on vendor discretion or law | Low - disable auto‑renew via My Account; must act ≥24 hours before period end |
| GOLF.com platform (InsideGOLF membership) | Payments stated as non‑refundable except where required by law; refunds rare | Medium - cancel via account dashboard ≥3 days before period end |
| Print via third‑party no‑auto‑renew vendors | Varies by vendor; often no automatic renewals so no cancellation needed; refunds may be allowed only before first issue | Low - often no action required; if recurring billing exists, follow vendor instructions |
After cancelling
After you cancel, save any cancellation confirmations (screenshots or emails) and monitor your bank or card statements for unexpected charges. If you believe a charge is incorrect or you cannot obtain a refund from the vendor, contact your card issuer or payment provider (for example, PayPal) to discuss dispute or chargeback options - many providers have time limits for disputes.
