I've cancelled my NYT sub online, a year or two back. I keep seeing anecdotes like yours pop-up, though. I don't know if they have different policies based on billing address or something.

I remember distinctly because when I _first_ signed up, it wasn't an option. A year or two later they emailed something about "Look how cool we are, you can cancel with just a few clicks now!" as if it was something to be proud of, rather than just them finally using consumer-friendly practices.



Are you in California? They are forced by law to make it easier to cancel in California, but they don't extend that anywhere else AFAIK.


I'm in NC and I'm seeing an option to cancel online.


it's not because of CPRA


Supposedly it is doable if you sign up in California/EU and a few other states that have regulations on this.


IIRC If your billing address is in California you have the option of cancelling online.


I'm in WA state, just checked, there is a big "cancel online" button, quite noticable.
