How to cancel The New York Times
Skip the chat and phone deflections — NYT now has self-serve cancel at nytimes.com/account/cancel. Sign in, open Subscription Overview, click Cancel your Subscription, decline the in-flow $1/week retention offer, then pick a reason and confirm. Access continues until the end of your current billing cycle — NYT does not refund unused time, and bills every 4 weeks (not monthly), so $25/4 weeks is $325/year.
Why this score?
Computed from five weighted dimensions: required steps, retention friction, channel restrictions, refund policy, and recovery hostility. See the full rubric.
