How do I end my subscription

I selected the free trial, but the option to cancel the trial does not appear in the Plans area. Today is the last day before I am charged, what do I do?

first, make sure you don't have a payment problem (https://account.adobe.com).  if you do it will prevent you from being able to cancel your subscription.  to fix it, https://helpx.adobe.com/manage-account/kb/fix-failed-missed-payment.html

 

then make sure you're aware of the cancellation terms by selecting your plan type (at the top of the page here), https://helpx.adobe.com/manage-account/using/creative-cloud-subscription-terms.html



and for info on how to cancel your subscription, this page describes the few steps involved, https://helpx.adobe.com/manage-account/using/cancel-subscription.html

p.s. if you're contacted by anyone (via email or private message), it's much more likely to be a scammer than an adobe representative.



if you're unable to follow the steps described, you'll need to await help from an adobe employee for the next step.  (if you don't get a reply here from a badged employee within 24 hours, repost.)

Hi - I’m trying to cancel my free trial for Adobe Express. I received the email stating that I will be charged if I don’t cancel but I never have found a cancel the plan button. My email that got the notice is different from the one on the account.

If properly cancelled, refunds are issued within 14 days.
See here:

and here:

https://helpx.adobe.com/manage-account/using/cancel-subscription.html

 

You need to have a valid form of payment before you can cancel a subscription and get a refund.

I do not have the option button to cancel so it is not cancelled “properly.”

it’s not difficult.  just make sure you're aware of the cancellation terms by selecting your plan type (at the top of the page here), https://helpx.adobe.com/manage-account/using/creative-cloud-subscription-terms.html 

 

and for info on how to cancel your subscription, this page describes the few steps involved, https://helpx.adobe.com/manage-account/using/cancel-subscription.html

 

if you want to cancel but are unable to follow the steps described in the "how to cancel page", you probably have a payment error that you need to repair before cancellation is allowed, https://helpx.adobe.com/manage-account/kb/fix-failed-missed-payment.html

Hi @danuys,

Welcome to the Adobe Community!
I reviewed your account details however I could not locate active/trial subscriptions associated with the account. Are you asking this query for a different email address? If yes, you can refer to this article to self-cancel the plan: https://adobe.ly/4xVjgTg

I hope it helps.

Hi @darrell_6832,

 

Thank you for reaching out.

Upon checking, I’m unable to find any active subscription associated with the Adobe ID you used to post this query. If you have an active subscription under a different Adobe ID, you can follow the steps outlined in the following document to cancel the plan:

I hope this helps. Please let us know if you need any further assistance.

Regards,
AN

Moving this thread to the Account, Payment, & Plan forum.
