Billed through an app store or partner?

What happens after I cancel?

  • The Washington Post stops charging you from the following billing cycle, and your digital access continues for the rest of the current billing period.
  • After that, you can still read a limited number of articles a month, like any other visitor.
  • Canceling only an add-on keeps your Core or Premium digital subscription active.
