Cancellation friction

Step-by-step instructions
- Step 1
Go to linkedin.com → click your profile photo → Settings & Privacy.
- Step 2
Click "Subscriptions & Payments" → "Manage Premium account".
- Step 3
Click "Cancel subscription" → LinkedIn will show retention offers — click "Continue to cancel".

💡 You lose InMail credits, who viewed your profile, and AI writing tools. Your profile and connections are unaffected.
Common issues
“I can't find the cancel button in my LinkedIn settings.”
Go directly to linkedin.com/mypreferences/d/premium-manage. LinkedIn changes settings layouts frequently, so direct links work better than navigating through menus.
“Will cancelling affect my LinkedIn profile or connections?”
No. Your profile, connections, recommendations, and job history all remain intact. You lose Premium features like InMail credits and advanced analytics.
