The site routes most cancellations through a chat or a phone call rather than a button — that is the process, not a bug. App store purchases are cancelled in the app store and avoid the chat entirely. The introductory rate rises sharply at the end of the promo period; that is usually when people find this page.

Cancelled and still charged?

Then the charge is not coming from The New York Times. Whoever took your money holds the subscription — if you subscribed inside an app, it is the app store, and only the app store can stop it.

And the rest of them?

The New York Times was one. Most people are paying for between eight and twelve things and can name four. TotalSubs puts them on one screen with one number, and warns you before the next one renews.
