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.
