How hard is it to cancel Foreign Policy?

Foreign Policy (FP All Access / FP Insider) subscriptions auto-renew and are cancelled by disabling auto-renew in account Subscription Settings (Manage > Disable auto renew). Self-serve online cancellation is supported, with email ([email protected]) and phone (800-535-6343 domestic, 845-267-3050 international) as alternatives. After cancellation the subscriber retains access for the remainder of the paid billing cycle and the subscription then expires on its end date. FP generally does not offer refunds and does not provide prorated refunds. No pause/hold option is documented.

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.
