Step-by-step guide to cancel your The Economist subscription, backed by Florida's Automatic Renewal Law and the FTC Click-to-Cancel Rule.
Florida's Automatic Renewal Law (Fla. Stat. § 501.165) gives you specific protections when canceling The Economist:
Penalties for The Economist: Unfair trade practice — AG enforcement and private right of action
Method: Phone or website
In Florida: If The Economist makes cancellation harder than signup, they may be violating Fla. Stat. § 501.165. Document everything and consider filing a complaint with the Florida Attorney General.
Prorated refund possible on annual plans.
Under Fla. Stat. § 501.165, you may be entitled to a full refund if The Economist didn't properly disclose auto-renewal terms at signup.
