Cancel via direct billing Recommended
Billed through direct billing · online or in the app

Sign in on the WW website with the account that carries the subscription.
Use a browser rather than the app, since account management lives on the web.
- 2
Open your account settings and find the subscription or membership section.
- 3
Review your plan details first
the renewal date, and any commitment period attached to your plan.
- 4
Select the cancel option and continue through the confirmation screens
Decline retention offers along the way if you want a full stop.
- 5
Keep the confirmation message or email until your next card statement is clean.
Timing
- Weight Watchers access usually continues through the paid period you already purchased; cancel before the next renewal to stop the following charge.
Watch out
- If Weight Watchers is billed through Apple, Google Play, or another partner, cancel in that billing account instead of (or in addition to) the Weight Watchers website.

Before you cancel, keep these
Two minutes of housekeeping now saves a support headache later if a charge reappears.
- The cancellation confirmation email or reference number — your proof if a charge reappears.
- The date your access ends, so you know exactly what you have already paid for.
- A screenshot of the final statement after the billing cycle closes.
- Which billing path you canceled (e.g. app store vs. the provider directly) — canceling one may not stop the other.

Hi, I'd like to cancel my Weight Watchers subscription. Please stop the recurring charge effective at the end of my current billing period and send me a written confirmation with a cancellation reference number. If any retention or downgrade offer applies, I'd like to review it before you finalize.
