How To Cancel Premium Linkedin

So, there I was, scrolling through my LinkedIn feed, when I stumbled upon a post from a colleague. It was a beautiful infographic about the power of networking, and before I could say "influencer marketing," I found myself liking, commenting, and sharing it. Suddenly, a pop-up appeared, "Upgrade to Premium to unlock more features!" I thought, "Sure, why not? It's just a few dollars a month." But then, a few months turned into a year, and I found myself wondering, "How did I get roped into this?"

If you've found yourself in a similar situation, don't worry, you're not alone. LinkedIn's Premium subscriptions can be a great tool, but sometimes, we just need to hit the brakes. So, let's dive into how to cancel that Premium LinkedIn subscription without feeling like you're breaking up with your favorite app.

First things first: Understand your subscription

Before you cancel, it's essential to understand what you're paying for. LinkedIn offers several Premium plans: Career, Business Plus, and Sales Navigator. Each plan comes with different features, so make sure you're not canceling something you might actually need. For instance, if you're a sales professional, Sales Navigator might be a lifesaver, but if you're just looking to connect with colleagues, Career might be overkill.

Check your subscription details

To check your subscription details, click on the Me icon at the top of your LinkedIn homepage, then select Premium Subscriptions from the dropdown menu. Here, you'll see the plan you're currently on, the price, and the renewal date. If you're not sure which plan you're on, LinkedIn will tell you. For example, "You're on Career, our most popular plan for job seekers."

Now, let's cancel that subscription

Alright, you've decided it's time to part ways with your Premium subscription. Here's how to do it:

1. Click on the Me icon again, then select Settings & Privacy.
2. Under the Account management section, click on Manage premium account.
3. On the next page, click on the Cancel subscription link. If you can't see it, it might be because you're not on a paid subscription. In this case, you're all set!

Once you've clicked on Cancel subscription, LinkedIn will ask you why you're canceling. Be honest, but remember, LinkedIn might use this information to try and convince you to stay. If you're sure you want to cancel, click Continue to cancellation.

What happens next?

After you've canceled, your subscription will remain active until the end of your current billing cycle. Once it expires, you'll lose access to any Premium features. But don't worry, your LinkedIn profile and connections will remain intact. You can always reactivate your subscription later if you change your mind.

And there you have it! You've successfully canceled your LinkedIn Premium subscription. Now, go ahead, scroll through that feed, and enjoy your newfound freedom (and savings). Just remember, if you ever need those Premium features again, LinkedIn will be waiting with open arms.
