Cancellation Consumer Reports: Easy Method

What is Consumer Reports

Overview

Consumer Reports is a nonprofit organization that publishes product ratings, reviews, and buying guides to help consumers make informed choices.

It operates on a subscription model offering digital, print, and combined (All Access) plans with branded content and independent testing results.

Services offered

Subscriptions provide unlimited digital access to ratings and reviews, a print magazine option, or both through All Access plans.

Membership benefits and delivery depend on the plan selected at signup and the platform used to subscribe.

How to cancel Consumer Reports

Cancel via the web (direct)

• Log in to your account at ConsumerReports.org.
• Go to Account Settings and select "cancel membership".
• Follow the on-screen prompts to confirm cancellation according to your membership type.

Cancel via mobile app stores

• Apple App Store: Open Settings on your Apple device, tap your Apple ID, then Subscriptions, and cancel Consumer Reports there. Consumer Reports cannot cancel App Store subscriptions for you.

What happens when you cancel

Access after cancellation

Access depends on plan and timing: monthly subscribers keep access until the next billing anniversary.

Annual or All Access cancellations may allow access through the end of the paid year if no refund is issued.

Renewals and account data

Auto-renewal stops for future billing once cancellation is processed via the correct platform.

Your account data, purchase history, and any saved settings typically remain subject to Consumer Reports' privacy and retention policies.
