FT often requires a phone call to cancel

Many FT subscribers find that the online cancellation path redirects them to call customer service - especially for annual or corporate plans. Budget 10–15 minutes for a call. Have your account number ready to speed up the process.

Ask for a retention offer before canceling

The FT's retention team can often offer 50–75% discounts on renewal rates for subscribers who call to cancel. If the FT is valuable to you but the price is the issue, asking for a "better rate" before canceling is worth the call.
