Cancel Wwd: Step-by-Step Guide

How to cancel your WWD subscription and stop recurring charges in singapore

What WWD is and why you might want to cancel

Women's Wear Daily (WWD) is a premium fashion industry publication owned by Fairchild Media and Penske Media Corporation, delivering breaking news, trend analysis, and market intelligence to fashion professionals and enthusiasts worldwide. You access the service via mobile app (iOS and Android) or the web portal at wwd.com, with automatic recurring billing that renews monthly or annually unless you take action to cancel.

Your subscription renews automatically on the same date each cycle. This means charges will continue indefinitely unless you cancel beforehand. At Tocancel, we empower you to take control of your subscriptions and understand exactly how to stop unwanted charges.

Common reasons to cancel WWD

You might cancel if daily fashion industry news no longer matches your needs, you want to reduce monthly subscription costs, prefer free fashion content alternatives, or have experienced job changes that shifted your professional interests. Budget constraints are equally valid reasons to exit any subscription.

The good news: cancelling WWD is straightforward across all platforms, and Tocancel walks you through every method to avoid accidental renewal charges.

Understanding your subscription type determines your cancellation route

Your cancellation method depends on where you subscribed. If you signed up through the Apple App Store, you cancel via iPhone or iPad settings. If you used Google Play, you manage the subscription through the Google Play Store app or website. If you subscribed directly on wwd.com, you log into your account portal to cancel there.

Identifying your subscription source takes 30 seconds and determines your fastest cancellation route.

Pricing and subscription plans available in singapore

Understanding your subscription cost helps you calculate savings if you cancel now rather than waiting for auto-renewal.

Cancel at least 24 hours before your renewal date to prevent the next charge from processing.

How to cancel WWD on different platforms

Your cancellation steps depend on which platform hosts your subscription. Tocancel provides platform-specific instructions so you cancel without confusion.

Cancel WWD on iOS (iPhone and iPad)

Cancelling on Apple devices requires you to access subscription settings through Apple, not the WWD app itself.

1. Open Settings on your iPhone or iPad.
   • Tap your Apple ID profile picture at the top of the screen.
2. Select Subscriptions from the menu options.
   • You will see a list of all active subscriptions tied to your Apple ID.
3. Find and tap WWD (Women's Wear Daily) from the subscription list.
   • If you do not see it immediately, scroll down to locate it.
4. Tap Turn off auto-renewal or Cancel subscription.
   • Apple will confirm the cancellation and display your final billing date.
5. Verify cancellation by checking that the status changes to "Expires [date]" instead of "Renews [date]".
   • You retain access until the end of your paid period; no immediate cutoff occurs.

Set a phone reminder for the day before your billing cycle ends to ensure you cancel with sufficient buffer time.

Cancel WWD on android (Google play)

Google Play subscriptions are managed through the Google Play Store app or website, not within the WWD app.

1. Open the Google Play Store app on your Android device.
   • Alternatively, visit play.google.com on your web browser.
2. Tap your profile icon in the top right corner.
   • On the web version, click your profile picture in the top-right corner.
3. Select Manage subscriptions or Subscriptions (depending on your device version).
   • This displays all active subscriptions linked to your Google account.
4. Find and tap WWD from the subscription list.
   • Scroll if needed to locate the subscription.
5. Tap Cancel subscription at the bottom of the subscription details page.
   • Google Play will confirm your cancellation reason and final billing date.
6. Confirm the cancellation when prompted.
   • You will receive an email confirmation from Google Play.

Cancellation takes effect immediately, but you retain access to WWD until your current billing period ends.

Cancel WWD direct web subscription

If you subscribed directly through wwd.com, you manage your account and cancel through the subscriber services portal.

1. Visit wwd.com and log into your account.
   • Click your profile or account icon if you see one on the homepage.
2. Navigate to Account Settings or Subscription Management.
   • Look for links labeled "My Subscription," "Manage Subscription," or "Account Settings" in your profile menu.
3. Locate your active subscription details.
   • The page displays your plan type, next billing date, and payment method.
4. Select the option to Cancel Subscription or Turn off auto-renewal.
   • Some services offer a pause option instead of immediate cancellation.
5. Follow any prompts to confirm your cancellation.
   • WWD may ask why you are cancelling or offer you a discounted retention offer.
6. Check your email for a cancellation confirmation from WWD.
   • Save this confirmation as proof that you cancelled.

If you cannot find the cancellation option online, contact WWD subscriber services directly using the contact details provided at the end of this guide.

Your consumer rights and what they mean for you

In Singapore, the Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act protects your right to cancel subscriptions and dispute unfair billing practices. Tocancel ensures you understand these rights so you can act with confidence.

Your legal position under singapore consumer law

The Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act gives you the right to cancel distance contracts (including online and app subscriptions) within a cooling-off period, typically 14 calendar days from the date you enter the contract. This means you can cancel WWD within 14 days of purchase without penalty if you change your mind. After this period, your cancellation rights depend on the subscription terms and the company's cancellation policy.

WWD must provide you with clear cancellation instructions at the time of purchase. If they fail to do so, you have a stronger legal basis to dispute charges. The Competition and Consumer Commission of Singapore (CCCS) enforces this act and accepts complaints from consumers who experience unfair billing or hidden cancellation barriers.

What to do if WWD refuses to cancel

If WWD does not honour your cancellation request or charges you after you cancel, you have formal escalation options. First, send a written cancellation request to their subscriber services team via email (if available) or registered mail, stating your account number, subscription start date, and cancellation request date. Keep a copy of this correspondence.

If WWD does not respond within 14 days or refuses your cancellation, file a complaint with the Consumer Association of Singapore (CASE) or the CCCS. Both organisations investigate unfair subscription practices and can compel refunds. Your bank or payment provider can also reverse charges if you dispute them as unauthorized or disputed transactions, though you should attempt direct cancellation first.

Tocancel recommends documenting every step: screenshots of your cancellation request, confirmation emails, and your final billing date. This evidence strengthens any complaint to the CCCS or your payment provider.

Timeline and what happens after cancellation

Understanding the immediate and post-cancellation timeline helps you avoid surprise charges and confirms your access period.

What happens immediately after you cancel

Your cancellation takes effect right away, but you retain full access to WWD content until the end of your current billing period. For example, if you cancel on 15 January and your renewal was scheduled for 30 January, you keep access until 30 January. After that date, your login will no longer work, and you cannot renew the subscription unless you sign up as a new subscriber.

You will receive a confirmation email from either Apple, Google Play, or WWD directly, depending on your platform. This confirmation includes your cancellation date and final access date. Save this email as proof of cancellation.

Preventing accidental reactivation

After your subscription expires, do not attempt to re-download the WWD app or access the website on the same device or account for at least 30 days. This prevents accidental reactivation of your subscription. Some app stores auto-reactivate expired subscriptions if you reinstall the app without intentionally cancelling it first.

If you see another charge from WWD after your intended cancellation date, contact your payment provider immediately. You have the right to dispute this charge as unauthorized, and Tocancel advises doing so within 60 days of the disputed transaction.

Common cancellation mistakes and how to avoid them

Many people delete the WWD app thinking this cancels their subscription, only to see charges continue months later. This is frustrating and entirely avoidable if you follow the correct steps.

Deleting the app does not cancel your subscription

Removing the WWD app from your device does not cancel your subscription or stop auto-renewal. Your subscription remains active on the app store (Apple or Google) until you formally cancel through their subscription management settings. Charges will continue, and you may not notice until you check your bank statement weeks later.

Always cancel through Settings (iOS) or Google Play Store (Android) before deleting the app.

Ignoring renewal date notifications

Both Apple and Google Play send you notifications before your renewal date. Ignoring these warnings means you may miss the 24-hour cancellation window and incur another full charge. Set your own phone reminder for 48 hours before renewal, giving you time to cancel even if you miss the app store notification.

Assuming direct web cancellation syncs with app subscriptions

If you subscribed through the Apple or Google Play app, cancelling your account on wwd.com will not stop the app subscription. You must cancel directly through Apple Settings or Google Play Store. These systems do not communicate with each other, and cancelling in one place does not affect the other. Tocancel recommends checking all three platforms (iOS, Android, and the web) to confirm you have no remaining subscriptions.

Screenshot your successful cancellation from each platform to prove you have cancelled everywhere.

Refund eligibility and how to claim one

Your refund entitlement depends on when you cancel, whether you are within the cooling-off period, and whether you have used the service.

Within 14-day cooling-off period

If you cancel within 14 calendar days of your first payment, you are entitled to a full refund under the Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act, regardless of whether you used the subscription. Contact WWD subscriber services or your app store (Apple or Google) to request this refund. Provide your account number, subscription start date, and cancellation date.

Apple and Google typically process refunds within 5 to 7 business days. If you subscribed directly on wwd.com, WWD handles the refund directly and may take 10 to 14 business days.

After 14-day cooling-off period

After 14 days, your refund eligibility depends on WWD's refund policy and whether they have breached consumer law. If you cancel within a few days of your renewal date (such as on 28 January when you renew on 30 January), you may argue for a pro-rata refund of the charge that just occurred. WWD is not legally obligated to offer this, but requesting it in writing gives you formal documentation if the company refuses.

If WWD fails to provide clear cancellation instructions at purchase, or if you discover hidden charges or terms, you have a stronger claim for a refund. Escalate this through the CCCS or CASE for formal resolution.

After your subscription ends: important steps to take

Cancellation is not complete until you verify that no further charges occur and your access has truly ended.

Monitor your bank statement for 60 days

Check your bank or credit card statement for at least 60 days after your cancellation date to confirm no new charges from WWD or the app store appear. If you see an unexpected charge, contact your bank immediately and dispute it as an unauthorized or disputed transaction. You have up to 60 days from the charge date to dispute most payments.

Test your access after cancellation

One day after your final access date (the date shown in your cancellation email), attempt to log into WWD on your preferred platform. You should see a "subscription expired" or login error message. If you can still access content, contact WWD immediately. This indicates a cancellation failure, and you should request a refund for any charges incurred after your intended cancellation date.

Save your cancellation confirmation permanently

Archive your cancellation confirmation email, screenshots, and any refund receipts in a secure folder. You may need this evidence if a dispute arises months later. Tocancel recommends saving these documents for at least 12 months after cancellation.

Comparison: keeping versus cancelling WWD

Before finalising your cancellation, consider whether the service still offers value or whether alternatives might better suit your needs.

If you decide to keep WWD, confirm your auto-renewal is active and working. If you cancel, consider free alternatives such as Vogue, The Business of Fashion, or Fashion United to maintain your industry knowledge without paying subscription fees.

Contact information for WWD customer service

If you cannot cancel online or dispute charges, contact WWD subscriber services directly. Tocancel has compiled the most reliable contact methods for Singapore customers.

Mailing address: Fairchild Media / Penske Media Corporation, 300 North Avenue, New York, NY 10001, United States. For faster resolution, include your account number, current email address linked to the subscription, and the date you want the cancellation to take effect.
