How to cancel El País

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

Cancel El País in 5 steps

  1. Sign in at elpais.com from a web browser.
  2. Open 'Mi cuenta' → 'Suscripción'.
  3. Select 'Cancelar suscripción' and follow the prompts.
  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. El País'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 El País website.

Charged after cancelling El País?

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

Frequently asked questions

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