Manage Adweek

How to cancel your adweek subscription in singapore and keep control of your billing

What is adweek and who should consider cancelling

Adweek is a digital media platform and magazine dedicated to advertising, marketing and media industry news. The service delivers exclusive content, in-depth industry analysis and magazine access to professionals who track trends in the advertising world. Whether you access Adweek through the web or a mobile app, your subscription gives you insights into campaign strategies, media buying and creative trends that shape the industry.

Most subscribers are marketing professionals, advertising agency staff and media buyers who rely on Adweek's reporting to stay current. If you signed up because you wanted to explore the platform or your needs have changed, cancelling is straightforward. At Stopee, we help you understand exactly when and how to cancel so you do not waste money on services you no longer use.

Why you might want to cancel adweek

You may decide to cancel Adweek for several practical reasons. Your budget constraints might shift, or you may have found free industry resources that meet your needs just as well. Perhaps you subscribed during a trial period and decided the content does not align with your work. You might also discover that you have access to Adweek through your employer or agency, making a personal subscription redundant. Whatever your reason, Stopee ensures you understand your options and your rights before you take action.

How subscribers access adweek

You can access Adweek through two main channels: a web subscription via Adweek.com or an in-app subscription through the Apple App Store or Google Play Store. The cancellation process differs slightly depending on which method you used to subscribe, so it is important to identify your subscription type first. If you subscribed directly through the Adweek website, you manage cancellation through your account settings or by contacting their customer service team. If you subscribed through an app store, the app store platform handles your cancellation.

Pricing and plan options for adweek in singapore

Understanding what you are paying helps you decide whether the cost justifies continuing your subscription. Adweek offers flexible payment options, though pricing varies depending on whether you subscribe through the web or via a mobile app.

The table above shows the current in-app pricing available through the Singapore App Store. Official Singapore pricing for web subscriptions is not publicly listed on Adweek's site; they display USD rates instead. If you subscribed through the web, your billing cycle and renewal date depend on when you signed up and which currency your payment method uses. Keep careful track of your renewal date so you can cancel before the next charge hits your account.

How to cancel your adweek web subscription

Cancelling a web subscription gives you three reliable methods, each equally valid. Choose the approach that feels most comfortable to you, and Stopee will walk you through each step to ensure there are no surprises.

Method 1: cancel through your adweek account settings

This is the fastest and most direct way to cancel if you have immediate access to your computer or smartphone.

1. Visit Adweek.com and log in with your email and password.
2. Navigate to your profile settings or account management area (usually found in the top-right menu under your name or avatar).
3. Look for a section labelled "Subscription", "Billing" or "Manage subscription".
4. Select "Cancel subscription" and confirm your choice when prompted.
5. You should receive a confirmation email within minutes. Save this email for your records.

Pro tip: Before you click the cancel button, take a screenshot of your account settings. This creates a record of when you initiated the cancellation and protects you if billing disputes arise later.

Method 2: cancel by email

If you prefer written communication or want a formal record of your cancellation request, email is your best option.

1. Open your email and compose a message to subscriptions@adweek.com.
2. In the subject line, write: "Cancellation Request - [Your Full Name]".
3. Include your full name, email address associated with your Adweek account, and your account ID if you have it (check your confirmation or invoice email).
4. Write a simple message: "I wish to cancel my Adweek subscription effective immediately. Please confirm cancellation by return email."
5. Send the email and monitor your inbox for a response within 24 to 48 hours.

Warning: Keep this email and their reply forever. If Adweek continues to charge you after cancellation, this correspondence proves you requested it and the company received your request. This is crucial evidence if you need to escalate a dispute with your payment provider or a consumer authority.

Method 3: cancel by phone

Speaking directly with a customer service representative can feel more reassuring, especially if you have billing questions or concerns.

1. Call Adweek's customer service line. From Singapore, dial the international number: +1-845-267-3007.
2. Have your account details ready (email address and account ID from your confirmation email).
3. Explain that you want to cancel your subscription and ask them to confirm your effective cancellation date.
4. Request a confirmation email showing your cancellation and the date your access ends.
5. Ask whether any refund or credit applies (though it almost certainly will not, this step confirms the policy).

Pro tip: Call during their business hours to avoid long wait times. If you reach a representative, politely ask for their name and note the time of the call in your own records. This personal touch also creates an audit trail that works in your favour if questions arise later.

How to cancel your adweek app subscription

If you subscribed through the Apple App Store or Google Play Store, you cannot cancel directly with Adweek. The app store platform itself manages your subscription, so you must handle cancellation through your device settings or your app store account. The good news is that both platforms make this straightforward once you know where to look.

Cancel via apple app store (iPhone or iPad)

App subscriptions on Apple devices are managed through your Apple ID settings, not through the Adweek app itself.

1. On your iPhone or iPad, open the Settings app.
2. Tap your name at the top of the settings menu to access your Apple ID profile.
3. Select "Subscriptions" (you may need to scroll down to find this option).
4. Find "Adweek" in your active subscriptions list.
5. Tap "Adweek" and select "Cancel Subscription" or "Edit Subscription".
6. Choose your cancellation date (usually "cancel at the end of the current billing period" unless you prefer immediate cancellation).
7. Confirm your choice. Apple will send you a confirmation email.

Alternatively, you can cancel through your Apple Account on the web by visiting the Apple ID website, logging in, navigating to Subscriptions, and following the same steps. Both methods are equally valid.

Cancel via google play store (Android)

Android users manage subscriptions through the Google Play Store app or their Google Account settings.

1. Open the Google Play Store app on your Android device.
2. Tap the profile icon in the top-right corner of the screen.
3. Select "Payments and subscriptions" from the menu.
4. Tap "Subscriptions" to see your active subscriptions.
5. Find "Adweek" in the list and tap it.
6. Select "Cancel subscription".
7. Confirm your cancellation when prompted. Google Play will send you a confirmation email.

Warning: Do not simply uninstall the Adweek app from your phone. Uninstalling does not cancel your subscription; you will still be charged. You must explicitly cancel through your app store settings.

What happens after you cancel your adweek subscription

It is natural to feel uncertain about what happens next. Here is exactly what to expect once your cancellation takes effect, so there are no surprises.

Access and timing after cancellation

When you cancel an Adweek web subscription, your access does not end immediately. Instead, you retain full access to all content and features until the end of your current billing cycle. For example, if you cancel mid-month and your monthly subscription renews on the 15th, you keep access until the 14th at midnight. After that date, your account moves to a read-only or limited state, and you can no longer view premium content.

For app subscriptions, Apple App Store and Google Play follow the same principle: you keep access through the end of your paid period, and then your subscription expires without automatic renewal.

Your account after cancellation

Your Adweek account does not vanish when you cancel. The account remains active in a limited capacity, and your profile data, saved articles and reading history remain stored on Adweek's servers. This means you can reactivate or restart a subscription at any time without losing your personalized preferences. However, if you want to delete all your account data permanently, you must request account deletion separately from the cancellation process. Contact Stopee or Adweek's privacy team if you need guidance on data deletion requests.

Refund policy: what to expect financially

This is the section where many people feel disappointed, so let us be direct. Adweek's publicly stated policy is clear: fees are non-refundable. This applies to advance payments, monthly subscriptions and annual plans.

Web subscription refunds

Adweek's Subscriber Agreement and Terms of Use explicitly state that all subscription fees are final and non-refundable. If you cancel mid-subscription, you will not receive a refund for the unused portion of your billing period. The only exception might apply if Adweek failed to deliver the service you paid for (for example, if access was unavailable for an extended period due to a technical outage). Even then, you would need to document the failure and escalate the issue through Adweek's customer service or your payment provider's dispute process.

In-app subscription refunds

Apple App Store and Google Play Store have their own refund policies that may be more generous than Adweek's policy. Apple typically allows refund requests within 14 days of purchase. Google Play offers a 48-hour refund window. If you subscribed through an app and wish to request a refund, contact the app store directly, not Adweek. The company cannot process in-app refunds on their behalf.

Trial subscriptions

Adweek offers short-term free trials to new subscribers. No refund applies to trials, and you will not be automatically enrolled in a paid subscription after the trial ends-you must choose to continue.

Your consumer rights in singapore

Singapore's Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act protects you in specific situations, even when a company claims their policy is non-refundable. Understanding these rights ensures you are not left powerless if something goes wrong.

Statutory protections under the consumer protection (Fair trading) act

Under Singapore law, traders must not engage in misleading or deceptive conduct. If Adweek misrepresented the scope of access, the renewal terms or the subscription features, you may have grounds to request a refund or credit regardless of their stated policy. For example, if Adweek promised unlimited access to certain content but withheld major articles behind additional paywalls, this could constitute misleading conduct.

Additionally, if Adweek failed to clearly disclose auto-renewal terms at the point of purchase, or if they auto-renewed your subscription without your explicit consent, you have the right to cancel and potentially recover charges. Singapore's Unfair Contract Terms Act also protects consumers from unfair or one-sided contract conditions.

Steps to take if adweek continues charging you

First, contact Adweek's customer service team immediately and document everything. Send a formal email to subscriptions@adweek.com with the subject "Unauthorized charge following cancellation". Include your cancellation date, the charge date, and a request for an immediate refund or credit.

If Adweek does not respond within 14 days or refuses your request, escalate the matter to your bank or payment provider. Most credit card companies and digital payment services allow you to dispute charges and reverse unauthorized transactions. File a dispute explaining that you cancelled the subscription and should not have been charged.

If the dispute with your bank does not resolve the issue, contact the Consumers Association of Singapore (CASE) or the Singapore Exchange Consumer Panel for guidance. Stopee also recommends keeping detailed records of all communications, which strengthens your position if you need to escalate further.

Common mistakes to avoid when cancelling adweek

Cancelling feels simple in theory, but small mistakes can leave you vulnerable to unexpected charges or lost evidence. Here are the pitfalls Stopee sees repeatedly, and how to sidestep them.

Mistake 1: uninstalling the app without cancelling the subscription

This is the most common error. You delete the Adweek app from your phone thinking it will stop the charges. It will not. App subscriptions live in your device's app store account, not on the app itself. Uninstalling only removes the software; your subscription remains active and your payment method keeps getting charged monthly. Always cancel through your app store settings first, then delete the app if you wish.

Mistake 2: cancelling without documenting the confirmation

You call Adweek's customer service, they tell you the cancellation is complete, and you feel relieved. Then three weeks later, another charge appears. Without written proof of cancellation, you have only your word against theirs. Always insist on a confirmation email, screenshot account settings showing cancellation, or keep a phone call record with a name and timestamp. Stopee strongly advises treating this documentation as non-negotiable.

Mistake 3: cancelling close to your renewal date

If you wait until the day before your subscription renews to cancel, the system may process your next charge before your cancellation takes effect. Submit your cancellation at least 3 to 5 days before your renewal date to ensure the system processes it in time. Check your account or confirmation email for your exact renewal date, and plan accordingly.

Mistake 4: assuming a refund will be automatic

Many people cancel and expect a pro-rata refund for unused days. Adweek does not work this way; their policy is no refund. Do not assume the company will apply a credit or reverse a charge without explicitly requesting it in writing. If you think you have a legitimate refund claim (misleading terms, service failure, technical outage), ask for it directly in your cancellation email. Stopee has seen customers recover credits when they advocated for themselves clearly, even if the default policy says no refunds.

Mistake 5: cancelling through multiple channels simultaneously

Do not email, call and submit a web cancellation request all on the same day. This creates confusion and Adweek's system may struggle to process multiple simultaneous cancellation requests. Choose one method and wait for confirmation before trying another. If you do not hear back within 48 hours, then escalate to your second option.

Checklist before you cancel adweek

Use this checklist to ensure you cancel correctly and protect yourself. Tick off each item before you proceed.

• Confirm your subscription type: web subscription or app subscription?
• Locate your renewal date by checking a recent email from Adweek or your app store account.
• Write down your account email address and account ID (if available).
• Decide which cancellation method suits you best: online self-service, email or phone.
• Before cancelling, note any content you want to save or export (Adweek may not retain your saved articles after access ends).
• Check if you have any employer or agency access to Adweek that you could use instead of a personal subscription.
• Ensure your payment method is registered correctly so you can dispute any unauthorized charges if needed.
• Cancel at least 3 to 5 days before your renewal date to avoid another charge.
• Capture a screenshot or save any confirmation email you receive.
• Set a calendar reminder to verify on your renewal date that you were not charged.

When you should keep your adweek subscription

Cancelling is not always the right move. Consider keeping your subscription if any of these apply to you.

• You work in advertising, media buying or marketing and rely on Adweek for daily industry insights and campaign trends.
• Your employer does not provide access and you need the content for client work or professional development.
• You are in the middle of a contract project that requires you to stay current on advertising news and analysis.
• You are subscribed at a discounted rate (seasonal promotions or annual plans offer better value than monthly renewals).
• You use Adweek's mobile app daily and do not have free alternatives that match its depth and currency.

If none of these apply, cancellation is likely the right financial decision.
