How hard is it to cancel The Motley Fool (Stock Advisor)?
The Motley Fool (Stock Advisor) scores 68/100 (grade C) for how clearly it documents cancellation in the US, a partially documented cancellation policy with notable gaps. Cancellation is available via online (self-serve), email.
Stock Advisor memberships auto-renew ('YOUR CREDIT CARD WILL BE CHARGED AUTOMATICALLY UNLESS YOU CANCEL') and can be cancelled at any time, with cancellation/refund requests routed through Member Support ([email protected] or the support portal). The enrollment fee is refundable up to 30 days from the initial purchase and is only refundable for new, first-time members; otherwise 'There are NO REFUNDS' for monthly memberships. The 30-day money-back guarantee applies only to qualifying offers and first-time subscribers, and re-subscribing after a prior refund forfeits eligibility. Third-party reseller purchases follow that vendor's refund terms instead.

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.
