GUIDES

Get the bill fixed. Or make it stop.

Start with the company charging you or the bill problem in front of you. Every guide shows the current route, what to check, and what Steward can handle for you.

STOP IT

How to cancel, service by service

Software

How to Cancel Adobe Creative Cloud

Adobe lets directly billed customers cancel from their Adobe Account, but the final cost depends on the plan. Check the plan type before confirming: an annual plan billed monthly can carry an early-termination fee.

Gym membership

How to Cancel a Planet Fitness Membership

Planet Fitness cancellation rules can vary by home club. Some members can cancel in the online member portal; other memberships may require a mailed notice or a visit to the home club.

Audio subscription

How to Cancel SiriusXM

The right cancellation route depends on who bills the subscription. Direct-billed SiriusXM plans can use the Online Account Center, online chat, or the current contact route; app-store and partner plans must be ended through that provider.

Streaming

How to Cancel Netflix

A directly billed Netflix membership can be canceled from the membership controls in the account. If the cancel option is missing, another company may bill the membership and that payment partner controls the route.

Meal kit

How to Cancel HelloFresh

HelloFresh lets customers cancel from Plan Settings, but timing determines whether the next box still ships. To stop the next scheduled delivery, the request must be completed before HelloFresh’s five-day cutoff.

Music streaming

How to Cancel Spotify Premium

Spotify Premium is canceled on the web account page, not inside the mobile app. The account then switches to the free tier at the next billing date, with playlists and saved music intact.

See steps and caveats →
Streaming

How to Cancel Hulu

A Hulu-billed subscription is canceled from the Account page in a computer or mobile browser. If another company bills the plan, that billing party controls the cancellation route.

See steps and caveats →
Streaming

How to Cancel Disney+

Disney+ lets directly billed subscribers cancel from the account page, effective at the end of the current subscription term. A plan billed through a partner follows that partner’s process instead.

See steps and caveats →
Shopping membership

How to Cancel Amazon Prime

Amazon Prime is ended from the Prime membership page in the Amazon account. Amazon says a paid member who has not used the benefits in the current period can be eligible for a full refund of that period.

See steps and caveats →
Live TV streaming

How to Cancel YouTube TV

YouTube TV can be canceled or paused at any time from the membership settings. Google says access continues until the end of the payment period after a cancellation.

See steps and caveats →
Audiobooks

How to Cancel an Audible Membership

Audible memberships are canceled from the Audible website, not by deleting the app. Timing matters: Audible says unused credits are generally lost when a directly billed membership ends.

See steps and caveats →
Fitness app

How to Cancel a Peloton App Membership

The right Peloton cancellation route depends on where the membership was created. Web-created App memberships are canceled in Peloton’s subscription preferences; app-store memberships are canceled through Apple or Google.

See steps and caveats →
Gym membership

How to Cancel an LA Fitness Membership

LA Fitness cancellations run through the online account, the front desk at a club, or a mailed cancellation form, and the available route can depend on the state of enrollment. Timing against the billing date decides whether one more draft goes through.

See steps and caveats →
Meal kit

How to Cancel Blue Apron

Blue Apron cancellations happen in the account’s Plan Settings, and the changeable-before date on the Upcoming page decides whether the next order still ships and gets charged.

See steps and caveats →
Gaming

How to Cancel Xbox Game Pass

Xbox Game Pass renews automatically until recurring billing is turned off or the subscription is canceled. Both are managed from the Microsoft account services page or an Xbox console.

See steps and caveats →
Streaming

How to Cancel Paramount+

A directly billed Paramount+ subscription is canceled from the account page on the web. Paramount+ says cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period, or at the end of a free trial.

See steps and caveats →
App Store

How to Cancel a Subscription Billed Through Apple

Many subscriptions on a card statement are actually billed by Apple on behalf of an app. Those are canceled in the Apple account’s Subscriptions settings, not on the merchant’s website.
