Frequently asked questions
Cancel Rolling Stone: The Right Way
How to cancel Rolling Stone and protect your subscription rights in singapore
What Rolling Stone is and why you might want to cancel
Rolling Stone is a globally recognised magazine covering music, entertainment, culture, and politics through in-depth features, critical reviews, and exclusive interviews. The publication reaches Singapore subscribers via digital app subscriptions and international print delivery, giving you flexibility in how you consume content.
You may decide to cancel for several reasons: your reading habits have shifted, you want to reduce monthly expenses, or you prefer sourcing entertainment news elsewhere. Whatever your motivation, Yafee recognises that cancellation should be transparent and friction-free. This guide walks you through your legal rights, cancellation methods, and the precise steps to end your subscription without complications.
Digital and print formats available
Rolling Stone offers two primary subscription channels to Singapore readers. Digital subscriptions are delivered through the Apple App Store and Google Play Store, providing instant access to new content on your device. Print subscriptions deliver physical magazines internationally, though international shipping may incur additional costs or face delivery delays.
Promotional offers occasionally appear through third-party retailers, which can complicate your cancellation pathway depending on where you originally purchased. Yafee advises confirming your purchase source before initiating cancellation.
When to consider cancelling
Cancel if your subscription no longer aligns with your reading frequency, if auto-renewal costs have risen without notice, or if you no longer access the content regularly. Many Singapore subscribers cancel after receiving promotional rates that expire; you are under no obligation to renew at a higher standard rate.
Your consumer rights when cancelling Rolling Stone
Singapore's Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act (CPFTA) protects you when you cancel any subscription, including Rolling Stone.
What the consumer protection (Fair trading) act requires
The CPFTA mandates that subscription services disclose billing cycles, auto-renewal terms, and cancellation processes clearly before you pay. Rolling Stone must stop charging you immediately upon cancellation and must provide written confirmation of your request. If the service continues billing after you cancel, or if access persists beyond your cancellation date, you have grounds for dispute.
Furthermore, the CPFTA requires that any promotional offer communicate the price at which your subscription will renew after the promotional period ends. Rolling Stone cannot increase your rate without explicit consent, and you retain the right to cancel before any renewal.
Your legal position
You are entitled to: (1) written confirmation of your cancellation within 5 business days; (2) cessation of billing on your next billing cycle or immediately, depending on Rolling Stone's terms; (3) a refund for any unused portion if Rolling Stone's terms promise one; and (4) escalation to the Consumers Association of Singapore (CASE) or the Small Claims Tribunal if Rolling Stone fails to comply. Document every step of your cancellation process-screenshots, confirmation numbers, email timestamps-to support any future dispute.
Your right to refunds and pro-rated credits
Rolling Stone generally does not refund unused portions of an active subscription once billed. However, print subscribers may receive pro-rated refunds for unmailed issues if you cancel mid-cycle. Special promotional memberships (such as the Culture Council) occasionally offer limited refund windows of 14 to 30 days from purchase. Initiation fees and signup bonuses are almost never refundable.
Request a refund in writing at the time of cancellation if you believe you qualify. Rolling Stone will respond within 10 business days; if it refuses without valid reason, escalate to CASE.
Pricing and subscription plans for Rolling Stone
Rolling Stone's costs vary by format and region; the table below reflects current reported pricing in Singapore dollars (SGD), which may fluctuate.
| Plan type | Price (SGD) | Billing cycle | Format | Cancellation ease |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Digital monthly (App Store) | $14-15 | Monthly | App-based e-edition | Easiest-cancel via app settings |
| Digital annual (App Store) | $145 | Annual | App-based e-edition | Easy-cancel in app or via Apple/Google |
| Print annual (promotional) | $54 | Annual | Print issues | Moderate-requires postal or phone contact |
| Print annual (standard rate) | $120-150 | Annual | Print issues | Moderate-requires postal or phone contact |
| Culture Council membership | $180-250 | Annual | Digital plus exclusive access | Moderate-14-30 day refund window if eligible |
Digital monthly plans offer the lowest barrier to entry and the easiest cancellation path. Annual plans lock in lower per-month costs but require a longer commitment and more formal cancellation procedures. Print subscriptions incur international shipping, which may delay delivery or increase costs.
How to cancel Rolling Stone by method
Your cancellation pathway depends on where and how you subscribed; follow the relevant method for your subscription type.
Cancel a digital subscription via the apple app store
App Store subscriptions are the fastest to cancel and require no contact with Rolling Stone directly.
- Open the Apple App Store on your iPhone, iPad, or Mac.
- Tap your profile icon (top right) and select Subscriptions.
- Find Rolling Stone in your active subscriptions list.
- Tap Cancel subscription or Edit, then confirm cancellation.
- Screenshot the confirmation screen immediately.
- Wait 5 business days and verify that no charge appears on your next billing date.
Your subscription ends at the end of your current billing cycle; you retain access until that date. Apple will send you a cancellation confirmation email within hours.
Cancel a digital subscription via google play store
Google Play subscriptions mirror the Apple process and are equally straightforward.
- Open Google Play Store on your Android device.
- Tap your profile icon (top right) and select Manage subscriptions or Payments and subscriptions.
- Find Rolling Stone and tap Manage.
- Select Cancel subscription and confirm.
- Screenshot the confirmation page.
- Verify within 5 business days that no charge appears.
Your access continues until your current billing period ends. Google will email a cancellation confirmation to your registered account address.
Cancel a print subscription by post
Print subscriptions require formal written notice sent to Rolling Stone's postal address. This method creates a documented paper trail, which strengthens your position if disputes arise.
- Write a letter containing: (a) your full name, (b) your subscription account number (found on your magazine label), (c) your billing address, (d) your request to cancel effective immediately or at the end of your current billing cycle, and (e) today's date.
- Include a request for written confirmation of cancellation and any refund eligibility.
- Send this letter via registered mail or courier to Rolling Stone's mailing address: Boone, Iowa postal box (confirm the current P.O. box number via Rolling Stone's customer service website, as it may change).
- Retain the registered mail receipt and a photocopy of your letter.
- Expect a response within 10-15 business days; if you do not hear back, send a follow-up email or second letter.
Postal cancellation is slower but creates irrefutable evidence of your cancellation request. Allow 4-6 weeks for the cancellation to process in Rolling Stone's billing system, depending on mail delays between Singapore and the United States.
Cancel by phone (if customer service line is available)
Rolling Stone's customer service phone line may accept cancellation requests directly, though availability varies by time zone.
- Contact Rolling Stone's customer service number via their website or your subscription confirmation email.
- Have your subscription account number ready.
- State clearly: "I want to cancel my subscription effective [date]."
- Request a confirmation number and the name of the representative assisting you.
- Ask for a confirmation email to be sent immediately; follow up if none arrives within 2 hours.
- Take a screenshot or note the time, date, and representative name for your records.
Phone cancellations are convenient but create no written record unless the representative emails confirmation. Always follow a phone cancellation with an email summarizing the call, sent to the customer service address listed on Rolling Stone's site.
Cancel by email
Email cancellation is useful if you cannot call or access the app, though response times vary.
- Compose an email to Rolling Stone's customer service address (locate this on their website or in your subscription confirmation email).
- Include: your full name, subscription account number, billing address, and the date you wish to cancel.
- Write: "I hereby request cancellation of my Rolling Stone subscription, effective [date]. Please confirm this cancellation in writing within 5 business days and specify any refund or credit I may be entitled to."
- Send from the email address registered to your account.
- Save the email with a timestamp and wait for a reply within 5-7 business days.
- If no reply arrives, send a second email marked "URGENT" and cc: CASE (case.org.sg) to escalate.
Email creates a dated, searchable record suitable for CASE complaints or tribunal claims. Yafee recommends email as the second-choice method after app cancellation for digital subscriptions.
What happens after you cancel Rolling Stone
Cancellation is not instant; understanding the timeline reduces confusion and helps you detect billing errors early.
Access and billing timeline
Upon cancellation, Rolling Stone usually grants you access through the end of your current billing cycle. For example, if you cancel on 15 March and your billing date is the 20th of each month, you retain access until 20 April. No charge will appear on or after 20 April unless you renew.
Check your app 3-5 days before your next billing date to confirm that Rolling Stone has marked your subscription as "Cancelled" or "Will not renew". If your subscription still shows "Active" or "Renewing", contact customer service immediately.
Detecting and reporting post-cancellation billing errors
In rare cases, Rolling Stone continues charging after cancellation. Monitor your credit card or bank statement weekly for 30 days after your final billing date. If an unwanted charge appears, act immediately:
- Gather your cancellation confirmation (email, screenshot, or postal receipt).
- Contact Rolling Stone customer service and request an immediate refund, citing your cancellation date and confirmation number.
- If Rolling Stone refuses within 5 business days, file a chargeback or dispute with your bank or credit card company.
- Simultaneously, lodge a complaint with CASE (Consumers Association of Singapore) at case.org.sg or by phone at +65 6100-0315.
- If the amount exceeds SGD 5,000, you may file a claim with the Small Claims Tribunal; amounts below SGD 5,000 are handled by the tribunal as well, making it accessible to most subscribers.
Keep all evidence-statements, screenshots, correspondence-for at least 12 months. Yafee has helped thousands of consumers recover unauthorized charges by documenting their cancellation and dispute process thoroughly.
Common mistakes when cancelling Rolling Stone
Cancellation is straightforward if you avoid these pitfalls; a moment of care now saves frustration later.
Assuming the app automatically cancelled your subscription
Deleting the Rolling Stone app from your device does not cancel your subscription. Your account remains active and will continue billing. You must explicitly cancel within the app's subscription settings or contact customer service. Verify cancellation by checking your app's subscription status or waiting for a confirmation email.
Not requesting written confirmation
Verbal or in-app cancellations without written proof create disputes if Rolling Stone later claims you never cancelled. Always request and retain a confirmation number, email receipt, or registered letter proof. Screenshot everything immediately. This documentation is essential if you need to escalate to CASE or the Small Claims Tribunal.
Cancelling during a promotional period without checking renewal rates
Rolling Stone may not notify you clearly that your promotional rate expires at renewal. Check your subscription terms before your renewal date and cancel proactively if the new rate is unacceptable. Do not assume the old rate continues.
Ignoring international billing delays
Print subscription cancellations sent via post from Singapore to the United States can take 4-6 weeks to process. In the interim, if you receive additional magazines, contact Rolling Stone immediately to halt delivery and request a refund for those issues. Do not ignore unwanted deliveries; document them as evidence if a refund dispute arises.
Missing the refund window for promotional memberships
Some Rolling Stone membership tiers offer 14-30 day refund windows from purchase. If you fall outside this window, refunds are rarely granted. Cancel within the window if you change your mind, and request a refund in writing before the deadline expires.

| Task | Completed? | Notes |

When to escalate to CASE or the small claims tribunal
If Rolling Stone refuses to cancel, continues charging, or denies a valid refund, escalate your complaint through Singapore's official channels.
Filing a complaint with the consumers association of singapore
CASE is Singapore's primary consumer dispute resolution authority. Lodge a complaint if: (1) Rolling Stone continues billing after cancellation, (2) refuses to provide a refund you are entitled to, or (3) misrepresents subscription terms. Visit case.org.sg, call +65 6100-0315, or visit their office at 1 Sophia Road, Peace Centre, #04-22, Singapore 228149.
CASE will investigate free of charge and mediate between you and Rolling Stone. Most complaints are resolved within 30-60 days. If mediation fails, CASE can refer your case to the Small Claims Tribunal.
Filing a claim with the small claims tribunal
The Small Claims Tribunal handles disputes up to SGD 10,000 without requiring legal representation. If Rolling Stone owes you a refund or unauthorized charges exceed SGD 100, filing is straightforward and low-cost. Submit your claim at the tribunal office or online; you pay a filing fee of SGD 10-50 depending on the amount claimed.
Bring all evidence: your cancellation confirmation, billing statements, CASE correspondence (if any), and a written summary of the dispute. The tribunal hearing typically occurs within 4-8 weeks and takes 1-2 hours. Most subscribers win disputes when they produce cancellation proof and unauthorized charges.
Postal address and contact information for cancellations
If you choose to cancel by post, send your letter to Rolling Stone's U.S. mailing address. Confirm the current P.O. box number on Rolling Stone's official website or customer service page before posting, as addresses can change.
Primary cancellation address (print subscriptions):
Rolling Stone
P.O. Box 62301
Boone, Iowa 50036
United States
Alternative contact methods:
Visit Rolling Stone's official website for current customer service email, phone line, and live chat availability. Response times vary by method; email typically receives replies within 5-7 business days, and phone support during U.S. business hours.
For disputes or refund escalations, reference CASE at case.org.sg or the Small Claims Tribunal at subordinate courts.gov.sg. Yafee recommends retaining all cancellation documentation for 12 months; this protects you if disputes arise after cancellation.
