How do I cancel my membership


How does membership renewal work?
If you paid by credit-card or PayPal, our monthly and annual subscriptions renew automatically. If you are enjoying your benefits there is nothing you need to do.
However, if you wish to cancel auto-renewal at any time, you can easily do so from your account page:
https://www.chess.com/settings/account-history
From there, click on 'Manage Account'
in the next menu, click 'Cancel my Membership'
Your membership will still be active. This will only cancel the renewal. You will not lose the time you have already paid for. Once your membership ends, you'll have to resubscribe, or continue with a Basic account.
Apple users
Please note that you must also cancel the renewal from within your PayPal or Apple account. Here are the steps:
- Click here to go to your subscriptions page
- Then click 'manage subscriptions' and remove the Chess.com subscription.
Google users
