How to Cancel WNYC

Subscription in Few Steps

WNYC Subscription Refund Policy

WNYC's subscription refund policy ensures transparency and fairness for its members. Here's how it works 

No Refunds for Past Donations

Monthly sustaining donations are non-refundable as they support ongoing programming. 

Canceling Future Donations

You can cancel future donations anytime, but already processed charges will not be refunded. 

Billing Issues

If a billing error occurs, contact Listener Services at (646) 829-4000 for assistance resolving the issue.

Gift Return

If a thank-you gift was received, the refund amount might be affected, depending on the gift's fair market value. 

How Much You Can Save After Canceling Your WNYC Subscription

After canceling your WNYC Sustaining Membership, you'll stop being charged for future monthly donations, saving you the full amount you contributed each month. For example, if you were donating $10 per month, canceling would save you $120 annually. However, remember that any charges already processed before cancellation are non-refundable. The exact savings depend on your monthly donation amount and the timing of the cancellation, but you'll avoid further deductions once the membership is canceled. 

Where To Invest That Amount

After canceling your WNYC Sustaining Membership, you can invest the saved amount in several ways: 

High-Yield Savings Account

Offers higher interest rates than traditional savings, providing a secure place for your money to grow. 

Stock Market

Invest in stocks or ETFs for potential long-term growth, though it comes with higher risk. 

Retirement Accounts

Contribute to an IRA or 401(k) to build retirement savings with tax advantages. 

Mutual Funds

Diversify your investment across various assets for balanced growth with professional management. 

Choose an option that aligns with your financial goals and risk tolerance.
