Step-by-step guide to cancel your The Economist subscription, backed by Minnesota's Automatic Renewal Law and the FTC Click-to-Cancel Rule.
Minnesota's Automatic Renewal Law (Minn. Stat. § 325G.201) gives you specific protections when canceling The Economist:
Penalties for The Economist: Private right of action plus AG enforcement
Method: Phone or website
In Minnesota: If The Economist makes cancellation harder than signup, they may be violating Minn. Stat. § 325G.201. Document everything and consider filing a complaint with the Minnesota Attorney General.
Prorated refund possible on annual plans.
Under Minn. Stat. § 325G.201, you may be entitled to a full refund if The Economist didn't properly disclose auto-renewal terms at signup.
