The New Yorker-specific things to know

The New Yorker subscriptions can work differently depending on your plan or how you signed up. These tips cover common edge cases.

Annual billing even with monthly payments
Many subscribers pay monthly but are on annual contracts. Check your billing terms before cancelling to avoid early termination fees.
Archive access continues
You'll keep access to the complete digital archive until your subscription period ends, even after cancelling.
Gift subscriptions work differently
If someone gifted you a subscription, you can't cancel it yourself. The gifter needs to contact customer service instead.
Student discounts require verification
Student subscribers may need to reverify their status before cancelling to avoid being charged the full rate.

Before you cancel, keep this in mind

These details can affect your cancellation timing or whether it goes through properly.

1. Check who's billing you

If you subscribed through Apple, Google, or another third party, you won't see a cancel option in your New Yorker account.

2. Access continues until period ends

After cancelling, you'll still have full access to The New Yorker until your current subscription period expires.

3. Deleting the app doesn't cancel

Removing The New Yorker app from your phone won't stop billing. You need to cancel through the subscription provider.

Consider these alternatives

If cost is the issue, you might be able to pause or downgrade instead of cancelling completely.

Downgrade your The New Yorker plan

The New Yorker offers different subscription options that might better fit your budget and reading habits.

  • Digital Only - Access to website and app

  • Print + Digital - Physical magazine plus online access

  • Student Rate - Discounted digital subscription
