So You Want to Ditch the Trib? We Get It (But We Also Kinda Don't)
Look, we at the Chicago Tribune love having you as a reader. You're like the ketchup to our hot dog, the cheese to our deep dish (we know, deep dish isn't technically a pizza, but fight us on this one). But hey, relationships aren't always sunshine and lollipops (especially in Chicago, where the weather can change faster than a politician's stance).
Maybe you're moving to a deserted island where the only news you get comes from coconuts falling on your head (hey, free entertainment!). Perhaps you've finally mastered the ancient art of reading tea leaves and can ditch the news altogether (teach us your ways, oh wise one!). Or, maybe you're just tired of us relentlessly reminding you about that whole "winter is coming" thing (look, someone's gotta be the bearer of bad news).
Whatever the reason, you're here because you have a burning question: can I cancel my Chicago Tribune subscription online?
The Answer, My Friend, Is Blowin' in the Phone...Wait, Not There
We hate to break it to you, buddy (or should we say, buddette?), but as of now, canceling your subscription online isn't an option. Dramatic gasp! I know, I know, it's 2024 and everything is supposed to be done with the tap of a button these days. But hey, maybe that's what carrier pigeons were for? (Just kidding, please don't send us any angry birds).
Fear Not, We Haven't Gone Completely Analog
Don't worry, canceling your subscription isn't exactly a trek through the Amazon rainforest (although, that would be a pretty epic story to tell). You have two options, both delightfully low-tech:
-
Pick Up the Phone (Yes, That Device With Buttons): Dial 1-800-TRIBUNE (that's 1-800-874-2863 for all you speedy texters). Our friendly customer service folks will be happy to help you out. Just be prepared for a little chit-chat - they might try to convince you to stay (hey, we gotta make a living!).
-
Channel Your Inner Snail Mail Master: Dust off your finest stationery (or a crumpled napkin, we're not judging) and write a letter to:
Chicago Tribune Customer Service
P.O. Box [insert appropriate PO Box number here]
Chicago, IL 60611
Be sure to include your account information and a clear request to cancel your subscription. Bonus points for using fancy calligraphy or glitter glue (because why not?).
The Fine Print (Because Lawyers Made Us Do It)
While we can't cancel your subscription online just yet, you can still manage your account online! Head over to https://www.chicagotribune.com/contact-us/ to see your billing information, update your address, or maybe even pause delivery if you're heading out of town (because let's be honest, who wants to deal with a pile of newspapers on vacation?).
So there you have it! Now you can cancel your subscription with confidence (and maybe a slightly lighter mailbox). But hey, before you go, remember: we'll always be here for you, Chicago. Even if you're not here for us (sniff).
