How to cancel DER SPIEGEL

A quick, up-to-date guide to cancelling DER SPIEGEL — and keeping proof that you did, in case you're charged anyway.

Before you click cancel: the moment you cancel is exactly when proof matters. CancelProof records your cancellation — the pages, the clicks, the confirmation — so if DER SPIEGEL bills you after you cancel, you have a refund pack ready. Add to Chrome — Free

Cancel DER SPIEGEL in 5 steps

  1. Sign in at spiegel.de from a web browser.
  2. Open 'Mein Konto' → 'Abo verwalten'.
  3. Select 'Kündigen' or use the online cancellation form.
  4. Cancel before your renewal date — intro rates convert to full price.
  5. Keep the cancellation confirmation (Kündigungsbestätigung).

What happens after you cancel

You keep digital access until the end of the current billing period, then it stops renewing. DER SPIEGEL's introductory rate converts to the full price, so cancel before that date. Cancellation may require contacting customer service. No refund for the current period is typical.

Subscribed through Apple, Google, or another provider?

If you subscribed through the Apple App Store or Google Play, cancel in that store's Subscriptions section instead of on the DER SPIEGEL website.

Charged after cancelling DER SPIEGEL?

It happens more than it should. If a charge lands after you cancelled, here's how to get your money back from DER SPIEGEL — and why documented proof is what makes the difference.

Frequently asked questions

Will DER SPIEGEL charge me after I cancel?
It shouldn't. After you cancel, DER SPIEGEL keeps your access until the end of the billing period you've already paid for, then stops billing. If a charge still appears, see our guide on being charged after cancelling DER SPIEGEL.
Does cancelling DER SPIEGEL delete my account?
No. Cancelling stops future billing but usually keeps your account so you can return later. Deleting your account is a separate action in DER SPIEGEL's settings.
How do I know my DER SPIEGEL cancellation worked?
Look for a cancellation confirmation email from DER SPIEGEL and check that your account shows the plan ending. Keeping that confirmation — an email or a screenshot — is your proof if there's ever a dispute.

Cancelling something? Keep the proof.

CancelProof records your cancellation automatically — so if you're charged anyway, you're covered.
