Cancel Good Housekeeping: Easy Method
What is Good Housekeeping
Overview
Good Housekeeping is a consumer lifestyle magazine covering home, food, health, and product reviews. It publishes digital and print editions and offers subscriptions through multiple channels.
Offerings
Offerings include single digital issues, multi-issue digital bundles, retail print copies, and print subscription plans. Subscriptions may be sold via the App Store, Google Play, or directly on the web.
How to cancel Good Housekeeping
App Store (iOS) cancellation
- Open Settings on your iPhone or iPad and tap your name, then "Subscriptions".
- Find Good Housekeeping and turn off "Automatic Renewal" at least 24 hours before the period ends.
- Note: you must cancel via your Apple account settings; the app does not allow cancellation during an active subscription.
Google Play cancellation
- Open the Google Play Store app and tap your profile, then "Payments & subscriptions" → "Subscriptions".
- Select Good Housekeeping and tap "Cancel subscription" following the prompts.
- If you subscribed through a third party, cancel using that provider’s instructions instead.
Web (All-Access / Print) cancellation
- Log in to your Good Housekeeping account and go to "My Orders". Select "Cancel" for unpaid subscriptions to cancel instantly.
- For paid subscriptions, contact customer service by phone at 1-800-888-1788 or by email at ghkcustserv@cdsfulfillment.com to request cancellation.
- Keep confirmation emails or screenshots of any cancellation pages for your records.
What happens when you cancel
Access after cancellation
For subscriptions that were paid, you will typically retain access until the end of the paid period. Cancelled subscriptions generally do not provide pro rata refunds unless expressly authorised.
Automatic renewals and timing
Subscriptions normally renew automatically unless auto-renew is turned off in time (for iOS at least 24 hours before period end). Check renewal dates so you can cancel before the renewal occurs.
Data and account records
Your account may retain purchase history and subscription status after cancellation. If you want data removed, request account deletion or data removal via customer service and keep correspondence.
Will I get a refund?
App Store (iOS) refunds
Apple handles refunds for iTunes/App Store purchases. iTunes generally does not provide refunds for active subscriptions; any refund requests must be made to Apple directly.
Web subscriptions and refunds
- Good Housekeeping does not advertise a standard cooling-off refund policy for web subscriptions; refunds are not guaranteed and must be requested from customer service.
- Contact Good Housekeeping customer service at 1-800-888-1788 or ghkcustserv@cdsfulfillment.com to request review of a refund.
New Zealand consumer-rights exceptions
Under New Zealand law, the Consumer Guarantees Act (CGA) can require repair, replacement, or refund if goods or services are faulty, not as described, or unfit for purpose.
The CGA does not provide a general "change-of-mind" right for subscriptions or digital services; platform rules (Apple/Google) often govern refunds for those purchases.

Your consumer rights in New Zealand
Key protections under the CGA
- Products and services must be of acceptable quality, fit for purpose, and match descriptions.
- If they are not, you may be entitled to repair, replacement, or refund under the CGA.
Limitations for subscriptions and digital services
- The CGA does not generally give a change-of-mind refund right for subscriptions or digital services purchased knowingly.
- Services sold via the App Store or Google Play are often governed by the platform’s refund and cancellation rules rather than direct CGA application.
Practical steps if you think your rights are breached
- Document the issue (screenshots, emails, dates) and contact the seller or platform support first.
- If unresolved, contact Consumer Protection New Zealand via consumerprotection.govt.nz for guidance.
Customer experiences
Summary of negative feedback
Many reviewers report unexpected automatic renewals and difficulty cancelling subscriptions. Complaints include limited refunds, poor customer service responsiveness, and problems unsubscribing from marketing lists.
Summary of positive feedback
Positive feedback is limited but includes occasional praise for content or specific useful features. Overall public ratings reported are low, so manage expectations and keep records of any transactions.
What to expect when contacting support
Prepare for potential long hold times or delayed email responses according to customer reports. Be persistent and keep detailed records of every contact attempt.
Documentation checklist
Before you contact support
- Subscription confirmation email or order number.
- Date of purchase and renewal dates.
- Payment method and last charged amount.
What to include in your cancellation request
- Your account email and full name as shown on the subscription.
- Clear statement that you request cancellation and whether you seek a refund.
- Any supporting evidence (screenshots of billing, renewal notices, or failed cancellation attempts).
Common mistakes
Missing the cancellation window
Example: forgetting to turn off iOS auto-renew at least 24 hours before the period ends leads to an unexpected charge. Always cancel with time to spare.
Trying to cancel the wrong way
Example: attempting to cancel an App Store subscription from within the Good Housekeeping app will not work. Use Apple or Google Play account settings for platform purchases.
Not keeping proof
Example: not saving confirmation emails or screenshots can make disputes harder. Always save evidence of cancellation attempts and correspondence.
