Starting Today, Canceling Subscriptions Got Way Easier

Say goodbye to the subscription trap. Starting today, the Federal Trade Commission’s new “Click to Cancel” rule flips the script on companies that made canceling services feel like an Olympic event.

Here’s the deal: If you signed up online (or through any digital platform), the company now has to let you cancel the same way. Gone are the days of “Please call customer service between 8 a.m. and never” shenanigans. If a click got you in, a click gets you out. Period.

For years, consumers have endured the gauntlet of endless hold music, pushy retention reps, and websites built like puzzles meant to break your spirit. But the “Click to Cancel” rule is here to end the madness, forcing businesses to stop treating your time like an unlimited resource.

So, if you’re already regretting that shiny new gym membership (we see you, two-weeks-ago-you), today’s the day to cut the cord. No phone calls, no games—just sweet, simple cancellation freedom.
