**The Lowdown on Canceling Your Peacock Subscription**
Good news and bad news: if you're looking to cut ties with NBC's streaming platform, you're in luck – but the good news comes with a price hike. Yes, you read that right - Peacock just raised its subscription prices for Premium and Premium Plus plans for the third time in as many years. If you're feeling the pinch or want to simplify your entertainment options, now's the perfect time to consider canceling your subscription.
**Cancelling via Web: The Simplest Route**
If you're having your Peacock Premium service billed directly by the company, cancelling is a breeze. You can do it from any web or mobile browser using these easy steps:
1. Log in to your account.
2. Click on the Profile icon and select Account or Plans & Payments.
3. Choose Cancel Plan.
4. Follow the prompts to confirm the cancellation.
**The Complicated Route: Cancelling via Third-Party Providers**
However, things get more complicated if you're not being billed directly by Peacock. Since many users sign up for the service through third-party providers like Apple and Amazon, cancelling requires going through these separate platforms. Here are some step-by-step guides to help you cancel your Peacock subscription:
* Cancelling via Apple: Go to Settings > Subscriptions, select Peacock, and click Cancel Subscription.
* Cancelling via Amazon: Sign in to your Amazon account, navigate to Memberships and Subscriptions, sign in, and select the cancellation option for your Peacock subscription.
* Cancelling via Google Play: Sign in to your Google account, go to Payment & Subscriptions, select your Peacock subscription, and click Cancel Subscription.
* Cancelling via Roku: On your Roku TV, highlight Peacock, press the star (*) button, select Manage Subscriptions, and choose Cancel.
**Promotional Subscriptions: The Fine Print**
Peacock is often given away for free by internet providers like Comcast and phone carriers. These promotional subscriptions usually start free but will eventually turn into paid plans after a year or so. Be sure to check the fine print to avoid any unexpected charges. To cancel these subscriptions, you'll need to contact the entity that offered it in the first place – think Xfinity or Spectrum.
**The Bottom Line**
Cancelling your Peacock subscription is relatively straightforward, but be aware of the price hike and potential promotional subscription traps. If you change your mind before the next payment date, don't worry – you can easily get back into your account. To permanently close an account, fill out a request via the Privacy Web Form in the Account page.
**When to Pause (Not Cancel)**
Unfortunately, Peacock doesn't currently offer the ability to pause a subscription. If you want to temporarily step away from your service, cancelling and then resubscribing at a later date is the best option.
