How to cancel CNN
23/100 to cancel
Click-to-Cancel Compliant, easier to leave than 286 of the 319 we've scored.
Tap a column for what it measures. How we score
Quick answer
Sign in at cnn.com/account/settings, find Subscription & billing, choose Cancel subscription, pass any "Stay and save" offer and select Cancel subscription again. Your Basic or All Access plan runs to the end of the period you've paid for, and CNN doesn't refund subscriptions started at CNN.com. If Apple, Google Play, Amazon, Roku or Prime Video Channels bills you, cancel there; a TV-provider login has nothing to cancel at CNN.
Why this score?
Five things, weighted: steps (20%), warnings (25%), channel (25%), refund (15%) and recovery (15%). How we score
