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.
