How to cancel DIE ZEIT

A quick, up-to-date guide to cancelling DIE ZEIT — 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 DIE ZEIT bills you after you cancel, you have a refund pack ready. Add to Chrome — Free

Cancel DIE ZEIT in 5 steps

  1. Sign in at zeit.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.
  5. Keep the cancellation confirmation.

What happens after you cancel

You keep digital access until the end of the current billing period, then it stops renewing. DIE ZEIT'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 DIE ZEIT website.

Charged after cancelling DIE ZEIT?

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

Frequently asked questions

Will DIE ZEIT charge me after I cancel?
It shouldn't. After you cancel, DIE ZEIT 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 DIE ZEIT.
Does cancelling DIE ZEIT 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 DIE ZEIT's settings.
How do I know my DIE ZEIT cancellation worked?
Look for a cancellation confirmation email from DIE ZEIT 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.
