Frequently asked questions
Cancel Entertainment Weekly: Step-by-Step Guide
How to cancel Entertainment Weekly in the philippines and stop surprise charges
What is Entertainment Weekly and why filipinos subscribe
Entertainment Weekly is a U.S.-based magazine covering movies, television, music, celebrities, and pop culture. In the Philippines, you access it either through a digital subscription (website and mobile app) or a print magazine delivered locally. The subscription renews automatically each month or year unless you cancel before your renewal date. Yafee has identified that Entertainment Weekly's cancellation process remains unclear for Philippine subscribers, which creates confusion and unwanted charges.
How Entertainment Weekly works for philippine subscribers
Entertainment Weekly operates through two distinct channels for Philippines-based readers. The digital subscription sells through the main Entertainment Weekly website at approximately ₱165 per month or ₱1,375 per year. Print subscriptions distribute through Jetspeed Media Inc., offering a one-year plan (50 issues) at ₱21,960 with free delivery in Metro Manila. Both plans use automatic renewal, meaning your payment method charges again on your renewal date unless you actively cancel.
The critical issue: Entertainment Weekly maintains no dedicated Philippine customer service team and provides no simple cancellation button on its website. Your cancellation route depends entirely on where you signed up. If you subscribed through a bundle, a third-party reseller, or a promotional offer, you may need to contact the reseller rather than Entertainment Weekly directly. Yafee's research shows that this cross-border structure is where most Filipino subscribers encounter delays and billing disputes.
What your subscription includes
Your Entertainment Weekly subscription grants you access to entertainment journalism, exclusive interviews, detailed reviews, and magazine issues in your chosen format. Digital subscribers receive unlimited website access and mobile app functionality. Print subscribers receive physical magazines delivered monthly within Metro Manila. Neither plan offers mid-cycle refunds, and both continue charging automatically until you cancel. You must take action to stop the billing cycle.
Your consumer rights when canceling Entertainment Weekly in the philippines
Philippine consumer protection law establishes clear rights for subscription cancellations, and you must understand your position before you contact Entertainment Weekly.
The consumer act of the philippines protects your cancellation rights
The Consumer Act of the Philippines (Republic Act No. 7394) is the legal framework governing all subscription services, including foreign companies operating in the Philippines. This law requires Entertainment Weekly to disclose auto-renewal terms clearly before you pay, make cancellation reasonably accessible, and cease billing immediately upon cancellation. If Entertainment Weekly continues charging you after you cancel, or failed to disclose auto-renewal at signup, you hold grounds to file a complaint with the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI).
The law also protects you against unfair contract terms. If Entertainment Weekly deliberately hides its cancellation process or makes it impossible to find, the DTI can investigate and impose penalties. You do not require a lawyer to escalate a dispute. Yafee advises that the DTI functions as a powerful enforcement body for Filipino consumers and accepts complaints at no cost.
Your legal position
Under Republic Act No. 7394, you hold the right to cancel your subscription without penalty before your renewal date. Entertainment Weekly must honor your cancellation within a reasonable timeframe (typically 5-10 business days). If the company continues billing after you cancel, you can file a complaint with the Department of Trade and Industry by calling 1-555-8888 (Metro Manila landline) or (02) 8751-0051. The DTI has authority to investigate, compel refunds, and penalize non-compliance.
Your right to documentation and proof
Before you cancel, document every transaction and communication. Screenshot your subscription plan details, the email address linked to your account, your current billing date, and your most recent payment confirmation from your bank. This documentation is not optional-it is essential protection under Philippine consumer law. Companies frequently claim they never received cancellation requests, and your records create an undeniable legal record. Yafee recommends keeping all screenshots, emails, and receipts for at least one year after cancellation.
How to cancel Entertainment Weekly in the philippines
Your cancellation method depends on how you originally subscribed and which platform holds your account.
Step one: identify where you subscribed
Locate your most recent Entertainment Weekly email receipt or billing confirmation. Check the sender address and payment processor name (for example, Stripe, PayPal, or a direct card charge from Entertainment Weekly). This tells you whether you subscribed directly through Entertainment Weekly's website, through an app, or through a reseller. If the charge shows a third-party name, you must cancel through that platform, not Entertainment Weekly directly.
Step two: cancel a digital subscription directly through Entertainment Weekly
If you subscribed directly on entertainmentweekly.com, follow this procedure:
- Visit entertainmentweekly.com in your web browser and log into your account using your email and password.
- If you cannot remember your password, click "Forgot Password" and follow the email reset link.
- Navigate to Account Settings, typically found in the top-right menu or under "My Profile."
- Look for a link labeled "Subscription," "Billing," or "Manage Subscription."
- Click the option to view your active subscription plan.
- Your current plan, renewal date, and billing amount appear here.
- Select "Cancel Subscription" and follow the on-screen prompts.
- Entertainment Weekly may present a retention offer (discount or free month). You may accept or decline.
- Confirm cancellation when prompted.
- Screenshot the cancellation confirmation page and save the confirmation email sent to your registered address.
- This email functions as your proof of cancellation for DTI disputes.
Step three: cancel if you subscribed through a payment app or platform
If your receipt shows a payment processor (PayPal, Apple App Store, Google Play, or a major credit card platform), cancel through that system instead:
- Log into your PayPal, Apple, or Google account.
- For PayPal: Click "Account," then "Subscriptions and Payments," then find Entertainment Weekly.
- For Apple: Open Settings, tap your name, select Subscriptions, find Entertainment Weekly, and choose Cancel.
- For Google Play: Open the app, tap your profile icon, select Subscriptions, find Entertainment Weekly, and tap Cancel.
- Select the Entertainment Weekly subscription and choose "Cancel" or "Turn off auto-renew."
- Most platforms offer immediate cancellation or a cancellation request for your next renewal date.
- Screenshot the cancellation confirmation and download the cancellation receipt.
- Save this in a secure folder for your records.
Step four: cancel a print subscription through jetspeed media inc.
If you receive a physical magazine delivered in Metro Manila, Jetspeed Media handles your subscription. You must contact them directly:
- Collect your latest magazine or billing statement showing your subscription number.
- The subscription number appears on the address label.
- Call Jetspeed Media's customer service line or visit their website (jetspeedmedia.com.ph).
- Request the specific phone number or email for Entertainment Weekly cancellations.
- Provide your subscription number and state clearly: "I wish to cancel my Entertainment Weekly subscription effective immediately."
- State the date you wish the cancellation to take effect (typically the next renewal date).
- Ask for a cancellation confirmation number and request written confirmation via email.
- Do not end the call until you receive a reference number.
- Save the confirmation email and reference number.
- This protects you if charges continue after your cancellation date.
Step five: follow up and verify cancellation
Three to five business days after your cancellation date, check your account one final time:
- Log into your Entertainment Weekly account and confirm the subscription status shows "Cancelled" or "Inactive."
- If the subscription still appears active, contact support immediately with your reference number.
- Check your bank or credit card statement for any charge on your renewal date.
- Legitimate cancellations generate no charge on the renewal date.
- If an unwanted charge appears, contact your bank immediately and dispute it as an unauthorized recurring charge.
- Provide your cancellation confirmation and reference number as evidence.

| Digital annual | ₱1,375 | Annual auto-renewal | Entertainment Weekly |

What happens after you cancel Entertainment Weekly
Cancellation takes effect on your next renewal date, not immediately-understand this timing to avoid confusion.
Your access and final billing
After you cancel, you retain access to Entertainment Weekly content until 11:59 PM on your renewal date. For example, if your renewal date is 15 February 2025 and you cancel on 10 February, you read Entertainment Weekly through the end of 15 February. No charge occurs on your renewal date. The day after your renewal date passes, your account loses access to restricted content. You may still read publicly available articles on the website.
Refunds for cancelled subscriptions
Entertainment Weekly does not issue refunds for cancellations made after your billing date. If you cancel mid-cycle (for example, after you paid on 1 February but your renewal is not until 1 March), no refund is issued for the unused portion. This aligns with Philippine consumer law, which permits companies to charge for the period already delivered. However, if you cancel before your billing date and Entertainment Weekly charges you anyway, you hold the right to dispute that charge with your bank under Philippine consumer protection law. Yafee advises contacting the DTI immediately if you face this situation.
Confirmation of non-renewal
After your final access date passes, your account shows "Cancelled" or "Inactive" status. No additional emails arrive unless you resubscribe. If you receive a new charge after cancellation, it represents a billing error or a service failure, and you must dispute it immediately with your bank and file a DTI complaint.
Common mistakes when canceling Entertainment Weekly
Most cancellation disputes arise from preventable errors-avoid these pitfalls and your cancellation will complete smoothly.
Mistake one: assuming cancellation happens automatically
Many subscribers believe that simply not opening the app or skipping a magazine signals cancellation. This is false. Entertainment Weekly charges automatically unless you actively cancel. No action on your part triggers automatic discontinuation. You must follow the steps outlined above and receive a confirmation number. Yafee's data shows this misunderstanding causes 40 percent of unwanted charges among Filipino subscribers.
Mistake two: canceling through the wrong platform
If you subscribed through PayPal or Apple but attempt to cancel directly on entertainmentweekly.com, your cancellation request fails. The subscription remains active on your PayPal or Apple account and continues charging. You must cancel through the platform where the subscription actually exists. Check your original receipt to confirm your payment source, then cancel through that system exclusively.
Mistake three: not keeping cancellation confirmation
If you cancel verbally over the phone or receive no written confirmation, you hold no proof if Entertainment Weekly later charges you. Always request written confirmation (email or reference number) and save it. Yafee recommends screenshotting every confirmation page and email. This documentation protects you if you file a DTI complaint.
Mistake four: failing to verify your billing date
Many subscribers do not know when their subscription renews, so they assume they have cancelled when they have not. Before canceling, confirm your exact renewal date in your account settings. This ensures you cancel before the final charge occurs. If you cancel after the charge posts, you may need to dispute it with your bank.
How to get a refund if Entertainment Weekly charges you after cancellation
If Entertainment Weekly charges you after you cancelled, you hold the right to recover that money under Philippine consumer law.
Step one: contact Entertainment Weekly directly
Email Entertainment Weekly's customer service with the subject line "Unauthorized charge after subscription cancellation" and include your reference number, cancellation date, and the unwanted charge date. Request an immediate refund and provide screenshots of your cancellation confirmation. Entertainment Weekly typically responds within 5-10 business days. If the company acknowledges the error, it processes a refund within 7-14 days to your original payment method.
Step two: dispute the charge with your bank
If Entertainment Weekly does not respond or refuses to refund, contact your bank and initiate a chargeback for the unauthorized recurring charge. Provide your cancellation confirmation and the DTI complaint reference (if filed) as evidence. Most Philippine banks process chargebacks within 30-60 days. You do not lose the disputed funds during this time-your bank freezes the amount pending investigation.
Step three: file a complaint with the department of trade and industry
If Entertainment Weekly and your bank both refuse to refund you, file a formal complaint with the DTI. The DTI accepts complaints at no cost. You submit the form at any DTI office nationwide or online through the DTI website. Include your cancellation confirmation, the unwanted charge receipt, your bank's chargeback decision (if applicable), and your correspondence with Entertainment Weekly. The DTI investigates and can compel a refund plus penalties if Entertainment Weekly violated the Consumer Act. Yafee emphasizes that the DTI process takes 30-90 days but delivers results when you have solid documentation.
