How to Cancel Any Subscription: Netflix in Boston

The universal playbook for canceling any subscription service — streaming, SaaS, fitness, or otherwise — with legal protections cited. This guide applies specifically to Netflix ($6.99-$22.99/mo) subscribers in Boston, Massachusetts. Massachusetts's Chapter 93A + Auto-Renewal protects you.

Your Rights in Boston, MA

Massachusetts's Chapter 93A + Auto-Renewal (Mass. Gen. Laws ch. 93A) gives Boston residents specific protections when dealing with Netflix:

How to Cancel Any Subscription

Applied to Netflix (Website or app) for Boston residents

1
Find your billing method
Check whether you subscribed directly (company website), through Apple, Google, or your bank. The billing source determines WHERE you cancel — not the company's app.
2
Locate the cancellation path
Log into your account → Settings → Billing or Subscription. Under the FTC Click-to-Cancel Rule, cancellation must be as easy as signup.
3
Document your cancellation
Screenshot the cancellation confirmation screen. Note the date, time, and any confirmation number. This is your legal protection if they keep charging you.
4
Watch your next billing statement
Check your statement after the next billing date. If you see a charge after cancellation, you have grounds for a chargeback citing the date you canceled.
5
Block the merchant if needed
If the company charges you again, call your card issuer and request a merchant block. This prevents future charges even without the company's cooperation.
