"Uncancel to Save": The Secret Hack That's Going to Save you Hundreds in Subscription Fees!

Tired of subscription fees piling up? Want to save on costs but don't want to cancel the subscriptions you use and love? What if we told you there is a secret hack that lets you kind of have your cake and eat it to. Keep your subscriptions but still pay 30-40% lesser in monthly fees.

Yes, you heard that right. We're not talking about actually saying goodbye to your favorite services (unless you really want to, no judgment). We're talking about the art of the strategic pseudo-cancellation, a hack that harnesses the fear of losing you to unlock jaw-dropping discounts.

Introducing the "Uncancelling".

It's a simple yet brilliant hack: go over to the account management page of your subscriptions - and we do mean every single subscription including the ones you absolutely do not want to get rid of - and the cancel button. 8 out of 10 times, the subscription service will give you a 30-40$ discount to stick around. The result? A treasure trove of savings that could slash your monthly subscription spend by a whopping 30-40%!

This magical money-saving trick isn't just a theory. We literally did this with 83 subscription services (a lot of clicking and scrolling) to see what are the best "Uncancel" offers out there. Our research shows that the average household can slash their monthly subscription spending by 30-40% just by playing the "cancel" card. That's like finding a $20 bill in your old jeans every single month! Or more like every week.

While "uncancelling" isn't the only way to save on fees (Check out our "7 Smart Hacks to Save on Subscriptions") it sure gets you big savings almost immediately. So, let's get to the specifics.

Here are the deals we think will save you the most.

1. LinkedIn Premium: Try to "uncancel" your LinkedIn Premium subscription and get a 50% discount (from $69 to $35!) just for waving goodbye (not really). This 6-month deal saves you a whopping $210!
2. Max the Savings: Love Max (HBO Max for those still in 2021) but would love it more if it was cheaper? Uncanceling gets you either a sweet 50% discount on the $9.99 tier for 6 months, or an upgrade to the $15.99 tier for just $11.99. Either way, you're $24-$30 richer. Now that's maxing out the fun, not your wallet!
3. Disney+ and Hulu: Channel your inner Scrooge – sometimes, canceling brings holiday cheer! Offers vary, but you could snag Disney+ for a mere $2.99 for 3 months, or 60% off Hulu for 6 months. It's a gamble, but the potential savings are epic!
4. Peacock's Penny Panic: Unleash your inner peacock and strut into 6 months of service for just $1 (sometimes more)! This temporary tattoo of a subscription washes away the sting of subscription bloat.
5. Auto Insurance Shuffle: This is a bit of an odd one. We recommend actually canceling your auto insurance and shopping around for a new one every 6 months. Trust us. Prepaying often unlocks discounts, but at the end of 6 months, shop around and you will almost certainly get a better deal. So, while we know we are going back on our own word of the “uncanceled cancel” offers, this one is worth the cancellation.
6. Audible, YouTube Premium, SiriusXM: Blast away high prices with 50-75% off these audio for 3-6 months. It's like hitting the subscription jackpot! Uncancel your way to cheaper tunes, audiobooks, and satellite radio – your ears will thank you.

Also-Rans:

Don’t forget to try Uncanceling on your other subscriptions like Adobe, Canva, Blinkist, Hello Fresh – most non-streaming services have some juicy retention deals.

Remember:

• This magic works best for when you have been a subscriber for at least 4-5 months and have monthly subscriptions, not annual plans.
• Go direct to the provider's app to cancel. No third parties (liek Apple's subscription settings or Amazon Prime etc.) and definitely no ditch third-party subscription management platforms.
• These discounts are temporary, so enjoy them while they last!

Why does this work?

‍Subscription providers dread losing you. So much so, that they're willing to offer you sweet deals to keep you on board. But remember, these discounts usually last for 3-6 months, so mark your calendars to renegotiate or, well, actually cancel.
