Cancel The New York Times: Easy Method
What is The New York Times
Overview
The New York Times is an international news organisation offering digital and print subscriptions, apps, games, cooking content and more.
Its services include digital news access, crosswords and other puzzles, cooking and lifestyle content, and bundled products such as The Athletic and Wirecutter.
Subscription model
Subscriptions are sold directly (NYTimes.com) and through third parties (Apple App Store, Google Play).
Billing is typically recurring and will auto-renew unless cancelled according to the purchase platform rules.
How to cancel The New York Times
Cancel on the web (NYTimes.com)
- Sign in at NYTimes.com.
- Go to "Subscription Overview" → "Manage Subscription" → "Cancel your Subscription".
- Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period.
- See NYT help: Cancel Your Subscription.
Cancel via App Store or Google Play
- App Store (iOS): Turn off auto-renew at least 24 hours before period end in your Apple ID settings; cancellation takes effect at period end.
- Google Play (Android): In Play Store go to Payments & Subscriptions → Subscriptions → select NYT subscription → Cancel.
- Purchases made through these platforms must be cancelled through the respective platform; NYT cannot cancel them for you.
What happens when you cancel
Access after cancellation
Access remains active until the end of your current paid billing period unless otherwise stated at purchase.
After the billing period ends, your digital access and subscription features will typically stop.
Renewal and account data
Auto-renewal is stopped when you cancel; you will not be charged for subsequent periods after the current one expires.
NYT retains account information per its privacy policy; you may be able to reactivate or resubscribe later.
Will I get a refund?
NYT policy summary
Subscription fees are generally non-refundable unless required by law or granted at NYT's discretion.
Cancellation typically stops future charges but does not guarantee a refund or credit.
Exceptions and regional notes
- EU/UK: There may be a right to withdraw with a full refund within 14 days for digital-only subscriptions if services beyond trial have not been used.
- Australia and New Zealand: NYT's policy does not clearly set a separate refund timeframe; NZ statutory rights may override NYT's non-refund wording.

Your consumer rights in New Zealand
Statutory protections
New Zealand consumers are protected by laws such as the Consumer Guarantees Act and the Fair Trading Act.
These laws can require remedies like refunds or cancellations where services are not as described, faulty, or not delivered.
How this affects NYT terms
- NYT's "non-refundable" terms may be overridden by NZ consumer law when applicable.
- If you believe your statutory rights apply, state the relevant issue (e.g., service not provided) when requesting a refund.
Customer experiences
Positive feedback
Many users value NYT's journalism quality and specific features such as cooking content and puzzles.
Some subscribers highlight a strong value for specialist content and investigative reporting.
Common complaints
- Difficulty cancelling, unexpected renewals at higher rates, and lack of refunds.
- Poor customer service experiences reported, including unhelpful chatbots and long wait times.
- Specific frustrations in NZ reported on review sites about paywalled mini-crosswords and support responsiveness.
Documentation checklist

Additional helpful items

Common mistakes
Cancelling on the wrong platform
Example: Trying to cancel on NYT.com when the subscription was bought through the App Store.
Result: Cancellation request on the web will not stop App Store auto-renewals; you must cancel in your Apple ID.
Timing and confirmation errors
Example: Waiting until the billing period is about to renew and cancelling less than 24 hours before period end for App Store purchases.
Result: Auto-renew may already be processed; always confirm cancellation and save confirmation details.
