| How Do I Cancel My Detroit News Subscription |
Choose Your Weapon: Phone or Pixels?
There are two main ways to cancel your subscription:
-
Phone a Friend (Customer Service That Is): This might be the most old-school option, but it's a classic for a reason. Grab your phone, dial 1-800-395-3300, and have a friendly chat with a customer service representative. Be prepared for a few questions about why you're leaving (you can always say "It's not you, it's me, Detroit News... I'm just seeing other news sources").
-
Website Warriors Assemble!: If you're feeling tech-savvy, you can also cancel your subscription online. Head over to the mysterious and slightly intimidating world of account management (
