01 · Where to cancel

Skip the annoying menus

Click your profile picture in the top right, then click "Settings & Privacy".

Once you're in your account preferences, scroll down + click "Manage Premium account".

You'll see whichever plan you're on. I'm on Sales Navigator Core, so all I have to do is click "Cancel subscription".

Heads up: this works if you subscribed directly through LinkedIn. If you paid through Apple or Google, you'll need to cancel through the App Store or Google Play instead.

Before you go... how about a different plan, or a discount?

Your subscription has been cancelled.

02 · The sales pitch

They'll try to keep you

What LinkedIn are probably going to do is try and talk you out of it.

They might offer you a different plan or maybe a discount. If you've made your mind up, just ignore it.

Keep clicking through until you get a proper confirmation that you've cancelled.

03 · What happens next

You don't lose it straight away

You'll still keep your Premium features until the end of your current billing cycle.

After that, it drops back down to a free account automatically.

You don't need to do anything else.
