What is Good Housekeeping

Overview

Good Housekeeping is a long‑established lifestyle magazine offering content on home, health, food, beauty and product testing.

It is distributed in print and digital formats and offers subscriptions via the web, App Store (iOS) and Google Play.

Subscription formats

Subscriptions include paid print copies, digital editions and in‑app purchases through Apple and Google platforms.

Purchase method determines cancellation and refund rules, as set by Good Housekeeping or the platform used.

How to cancel Good Housekeeping

Cancel via Good Housekeeping website

• Log in to your account at the Good Housekeeping subscription site.
• Open "My Orders" and select the "Actions" menu for the relevant order.
• Choose "Cancel" to end unpaid subscriptions immediately; follow on‑screen prompts.
• For paid web subscriptions, contact Good Housekeeping by email or phone for cancellation assistance: 1‑800‑888‑1788.

Cancel via mobile platforms

• App Store (iOS): Open your Apple ID subscriptions in device settings and turn off auto‑renew at least 24 hours before the period ends.

• Note: Apple manages App Store billing; Good Housekeeping cannot issue App Store refunds.

What happens when you cancel

Access after cancellation

When you cancel, access depends on how you purchased the subscription.

Web or paid account cancellations may allow access until the end of a paid period unless otherwise stated.

Renewals and auto‑renew

Subscriptions set to auto‑renew will continue unless you disable auto‑renew before the renewal window (Apple requires 24 hours notice).

If auto‑renew is not disabled in time, charges may occur and refunds may be limited by the platform.

Data and account handling

Your account and profile data typically remain until you request deletion; check Good Housekeeping account settings or contact support to request removal.

Retain confirmation emails or cancellation reference numbers for any future disputes.

Will I get a refund?

Print subscription refunds

Good Housekeeping's policy provides refunds for remaining print copies that have not yet been mailed when you cancel a paid print subscription.

Request a refund by contacting customer service or the support channel used to purchase the subscription.

Digital refunds and platform limits

• App Store (iOS): Apple does not provide refunds via Good Housekeeping; refunds are subject to Apple's policies.
• Google Play / Web: No clear, general refund policy is published for digital purchases; web refunds are limited to print undelivered copies only.
• If you believe an unauthorized charge occurred, contact your payment provider or the platform support for dispute options.

Common mistakes

Missing the auto‑renew window

A common error is failing to disable auto‑renew 24 hours before the period end for App Store subscriptions.

Contacting the wrong support channel

Customers often contact the magazine instead of the platform that processed payment (Apple or Google), delaying resolution.
