How hard is it to cancel Book of the Month?
Book of the Month scores 85/100 (grade A) for how clearly it documents cancellation in the US — among the most clearly documented cancellation policies we've scored. Cancellation is available via online (self-serve).
Members cancel self-serve from the account profile under Membership by selecting Cancel Membership; cancellation must happen before the renewal date (typically the 1st of the month) or you are billed, and unused credits are lost on cancel unless you pause instead. Once a book has shipped there are no refunds.

Scope & fairness
This is the Documented-Policy tier: it measures how clearly the cancellation policy is published (cited, dated facts), not the behavioural experience of cancelling (Verified-Flow audit pending). Every company is scored on the same five dimensions with the same published weights — scores cannot be bought or removed. It is opinion grounded in disclosed facts, and not legal advice.
