Common issues
“I want to cancel all my Substack subscriptions at once.”
Substack doesn't have a bulk cancel option. You must cancel each newsletter individually from substack.com/account/payments.
“Can I get a refund on my annual Substack subscription?”
Contact the newsletter author directly — Substack gives authors control over refund decisions. Annual subscribers can often get a prorated refund within the first few months.
