Cancellation The Arizona Republic: Easy Method
What is The Arizona Republic
Overview
The Arizona Republic (azcentral) is a regional news publisher based in Phoenix, Arizona, offering digital access to local and national reporting through its website and mobile apps. Subscriptions are managed by the publisher for web sign‑ups and through Apple/Google when purchased in‑app.
How to cancel The Arizona Republic
- Phone (recommended for North American customers): Call Customer Service at 1-800-332-6733 and request cancellation. Have your account email, subscription details and payment method ready. Note this is the primary phone cancellation method listed by the publisher.
- Web: The publisher states you may cancel by phone; web cancellation is limited. Residents of certain U.S. states (CA, GA, ME, NY, OR, VT, VA) can cancel online when logged in to their Account Management page; this option is not generally available for Canadian accounts. See the azcentral help pages: azcentral Help.
- App store subscriptions: If you subscribed via Apple (iOS) or Google Play (Android), manage and cancel the subscription through Apple or Google’s subscription settings - cancellations must be done through the app store, not azcentral. See Apple and Google support pages: Apple subscriptions, Google Play subscriptions.
- Postal cancellation (if you prefer written notice): Send a signed cancellation letter by certified mail (raccomandata A/R) to the publisher’s mailing address (see Address section below). Include account identifying details and request written confirmation.
What happens when you cancel
After cancellation, access to subscriber-only digital content typically continues until the end of your paid billing period; the subscription will not renew after that date. The publisher’s systems retain account information for billing and service records and may require you to re-link or re-sign in to access any archived content. If you purchased via an app store, cancellation there prevents future renewals but does not remove access already granted for the paid period managed by Apple or Google.
Will I get a refund?
The Arizona Republic’s stated policy is that payments are non‑refundable and there are no refunds or credits for unused portions of a billing cycle, except at the publisher’s sole discretion. The publisher does not provide an automatic 14‑day cancellation/refund right for subscriptions. If you purchased through Apple or Google, those platforms’ refund procedures and policies apply for in‑app purchases; you must request any app‑store refund from Apple or Google directly. If you believe a charge was incorrect or unauthorized, you can also contact your payment provider for dispute options.
The Arizona Republic plans and pricing
| Plan | Price (CAD) | Period | Features |
|---|---|---|---|
| azcentral Digital Subscription (Monthly) | C$34.99 | Monthly | Unlimited digital access via app (azcentral/Arizona Republic digital content) |

Prices above were observed in the Canadian Apple App Store in‑app listings; the publisher’s website lists USD pricing and may not show Canada‑specific rates.
Your consumer rights in Canada
Under Canadian consumer protection principles, Quebec law provides a 14‑day right of withdrawal for certain remote purchases, but the Arizona Republic’s published subscription policy does not offer an automatic 14‑day refund for subscriptions. That means the publisher’s “non‑refundable unless at discretion” statement governs refunds for most subscribers. If you believe the publisher’s practices are unfair, you may pursue a dispute through your card issuer (chargeback) or file a complaint with provincial consumer protection authorities or federal resources: Government of Canada - Consumer information. This is general information and not legal advice; for legal questions consult a qualified adviser.
Customer experiences
Publicly reported experiences are mixed but include multiple complaints about difficulty cancelling - customers have reported being directed to call during business hours, limited online cancellation access, and occasional billing after cancellation. Some complaints describe billing opacity, surprise price changes, and poor customer service responsiveness. App‑store subscribers report fewer direct billing disputes with the publisher because Apple or Google manage the recurring billing, but resolution times vary. These accounts are from third‑party review sites and forum posts; results can differ by case.
Documentation checklist
- Account email and username used for the subscription
- Subscription ID or reference number (if available)
- Last 4 digits of payment card or payment method used
- Date of purchase and last billing date
- Copy of cancellation request and any confirmation number or agent name
- Certified mail (raccomandata A/R) receipt if sending postal cancellation
Common mistakes
Common issues include trying to cancel a subscription bought through an app store via the publisher’s website (app‑store subs must be cancelled through Apple/Google), attempting to cancel online when the publisher’s account page only allows customers in certain U.S. states to do so, and not keeping proof of cancellation (confirmation email, agent name, or certified mail receipt). Another frequent mistake is assuming mid‑cycle refunds are automatic - the publisher’s policy states payments are non‑refundable unless they choose to provide one.
Comparative recap
| Method | Refund | Difficulty |
|---|---|---|
| Web (Account Management) | Non‑refundable per publisher; web cancellation available only for certain U.S. states | High for Canadian customers (option generally unavailable) |
| App Store (iOS) / Google Play | Refunds handled by Apple/Google per their policies; publisher’s non‑refund policy does not apply to app‑store refund procedures | Low to Medium (managed through app store settings) |
| Phone (1-800-332-6733) | Non‑refundable per publisher; may be granted at publisher discretion | High (reports of limited hours and call‑only instructions) |
| Postal mail (certified) | Non‑refundable per publisher; provides written proof of request | Medium (slower but auditable) |
After cancelling
Keep written confirmation (email, confirmation number, or certified mail receipt) and monitor your payment method for any post‑cancellation charges. If you see an unexpected charge, first contact the publisher via Customer Service and refer to your cancellation confirmation. If the issue is unresolved, contact your payment provider to request a dispute or chargeback and consider filing a complaint with provincial consumer protection authorities.
