How do I cancel an unwanted subscription charge on my card?
Answer
Match the merchant name on your bank statement, sign in on that company's official site, cancel from Membership or Account Settings, and confirm you receive a cancellation email. If you cannot sign in, use Forgot Password on the official site first.
Before you start: stop right away if…
- Stop if a site or popup asks you to pay a fee only to unlock cancellation, or to install unknown software.
Follow these steps
Identify the merchant on your statement
Open your bank or card statement and write down the exact merchant name on the charge. That name tells you which company controls the subscription.
You should see: You know which service to cancel and have the charge details recorded.
Sign in on the official site
Go to the company's official website from a trusted search or your bookmarks. If you do not remember the password, use Forgot Password with the email on the account, then sign in.
You should see: You are signed in to the membership or account area on the official site.
Cancel from Membership or Account Settings
Open Membership, Billing, or Account Settings and choose Cancel subscription or Cancel membership. Confirm any final prompts and save or screenshot the confirmation.
You should see: The account shows canceled, or you receive a cancellation confirmation message.
Watch for the next billing date
Check whether the confirmation lists an end date or final charge. If a charge still posts after the confirmed cancel date, contact the merchant from the official support page, then your bank if needed.
You should see: You know when billing should stop and what to do if another charge appears.

Extra tips
What to look for: The exact merchant name on the bank or card statement, the email used for the membership, and a Cancel or Manage membership option after sign-in.
Before you change anything: Find the merchant name exactly as it appears on your statement. Use only the company's official website or app, not links from unexpected texts or popups. Do not share passwords or one-time codes with anyone who contacts you about the charge. Keep a screenshot of the charge and any cancellation confirmation.
