Information is power in the world today, so keeping up with the news is essential. People often want to be informed about the daily happenings and surroundings, be it politics, the weather, social communication, or business reports. And with technology switching business operations online, you can quickly get your daily dose of news via the internet.

The Washington Post is a daily newspaper that's published in Washington, D.C, for American audiences. It's a leading newspaper renowned for its political reporting on Congress, the White House, and other aspects of the government. Its consumers can get copies of the publications online by creating accounts with the company and making payments for each billing period. You can easily access breaking news, expert analysis, investigative coverage, world national news, and free newsletters as well as entertainment segments.

By subscribing to the Washington Post, clients get an uninterrupted supply of news since the company automatically deducts payments from accounts. But what if you want to cancel your subscription? You may not be checking your newspaper feed online often or only do not have the time, so it would be wise to stop your subscription and save up on some cash. Below is how to go about the process.

Canceling your digital subscription

The process of canceling your Washington Post subscription is easy, and you can do it at any time. If you made your subscription purchase online via the company's web page and want to unsubscribe, follow the steps below:

  1. Launch the official Washington Post website on your personal computer

  2. Towards the top right corner of the home page is the Sign In button, click on it

  3. You'll be redirected to the Sign-in page to submit your email address, username, and password when the system prompts

  4. Click on your profile

  5. Tap the Cancel Subscription button to complete the process

Subscribers who made their purchases via App Store, such as Google Play, Apple, iTunes, or Amazon, can check the app store's policies, procedures, terms, and conditions regarding cancellations. Alternatively, the Washington Post's customers can reach out to the customer care department for assistance, and below is how to get hold of them.

Phone number

If you wish to get assistance from customer care agents regarding subscription cancellation, you can do so via phone call. Calling the toll-free line will guarantee you an audience with the Washington Post's representatives.

You can submit your issue, and the staff will help with canceling your subscription from their end or walk you through the process. Additionally, you can receive follow-up services and even get insight on essential tips for the future.

Worth noting is that you should cancel your subscription before the next billing period to avoid renewal. After canceling, the Washington post will cancel future charges only and will not refund your current billing period's subscription fees. The cancellation will be active at the end of your billing cycle, but you'll still have access to your remaining balance. And even if you cancel subscriptions, the company still allows you to access and view limited articles every month.
